BuddyTV: Interview with Jonathan Platero

BuddyTV just interviewed Jonathan Platero.

This morning I had the pleasure of chatting with Jonathan Platero, the latest dancer to be eliminated from So You Think You Can Dance.

Jonathan, a cute as a button salsa dancer and tumbler, impressed Mary Murphy with what she said was a So You Think You Can Dance first: he performed far better outside of his genre. Despite his early elimination, Jonathan's contemporary routine with Karla to "Falling Slowly," will be remembered as one of the best of the season. (And yes, I feel completely confident saying that three weeks in to the competition.) Ultimately, Jonathan suffered at the unenviable hands of the dreaded partner-less salsa solo, which he tried to spice up with one too many tumbling passes for the judges taste.

Jonathan and I chatted about our mutual adoration for Stacey Tookey's contemporary routine, the closeness of the cast of So You Think You Can Dance, Twitter, and what's next for him.
