Katie’s Choreographer Tyce Diorio Calls Her Performance “Oscar Worthy!”

INFphoto_961677-katie-holmes Katie’s “So You Think You Can Dance” choreographer, Tyce Diorio, had a lot to say about her upcoming performance on Thursday’s elimination show. Katie Holmes will be paying homage to Judy Garland on their 100th episode July 23rd.

Diorio said that Katie’s performance is “Amazing”. He goes on to say, “The thing that is so awesome is that you won’t know, you don’t know what to expect … but then when you sit and watch it, it’s amazing. Amazing! And it’s not something in my opinion that’s just going to be like ‘oh, how nice.’ It’s not going to be that … ‘oh, look how sweet that is.’ No, it’s real. It’s as real as what you’re seeing now. I’m very proud of it, so I talk really highly of Katie.”

Katie and Tyce worked on the number for The Dizzy Feet Foundation for quite awhile. He wanted to make sure she was ready to take on the challenge and it sounds like she was.

“You get to know someone and their talents and their personality being in my position that’s my job to see and figure out who is ready and how to do it and how to get there. And I have been with Katie for so long now and I was like, ‘yeah, you’re ready, let’s do it.’ I could see the magic. I could see the truth in her talent, and she believes in herself too, so it was all coupled together.”

Katie’s long time friend is so confident in her performance, he even said it was Oscar worthy!

“Katie reminds me of that MGM Hollywood movie star. Her looks and her essence … she stands there and you’re like ‘what?’ and when you see the way she looks … she looks like she could be on the stage at the Oscars.”

This is very exciting. July 23rd is right around the corner!

    I’m a little confused. How can a TV performance be Oscar worthy? They don’t give Oscars for TV. I’m looking forward to seeing it!

    Ahhh hate to write it, but his comment made absolutely no sense. Good thing he has a talent for dancing because he sure cannot speak well!!!!! That entire comment was a bunch of gibberish with poor grammar!!

    To me he is saying he really liked her performance.
    “she looks like she could be on the stage at the Oscars.”
    The title is not what he said.
    It looks like they printed some of what he said so it might not have been gibberish with poor grammar!!

    I am critiquing the quoted comments, which are allegedly his. “its all coupled together” is just ONE example that does not make sense.

    I think he likes her…a lot! But I wonder if people connected to the show should keep quiet until after Katies performance. You know how sometimes they say wonderful, brilliant, or whatever other comments they make. Ithink if it was me, I’d like the compliments to flow after people saw me , you know what I mean.
    Maybe when he said ‘’she looks like she could be on the stage at oscars, maybe he meant , like one of those shows like HUGH JACKSON AND BEYONSE did.
