When Are People Going to Listen to Me?



Okay, quick little pause before I talk about the SYTYCD Results, I haven't updated on The Glee Project, The Challenge or Expedition Impossible in a while but I promise that I will soon, hopefully I will update on Expedition Impossible tonight, I may be for for the challenge for a while I just feel over whelmed its summer right? I need a break.

BACK TO THE RESULTS

First, I'd like to say RIP to Mary Murphy's ex husband who passed away tonight, she seemed a little down and said she had trouble leaving her dressing room.

Back to the show! I love how quick they give the results this season! Or have the done it ever season and I just didn't notice last year because I hadn't seen idol in 2010 which always takes an hour or two.

First three up were Tadd, Mitchel and Melanie. Clearly in the group Mitchel was the only one who should have been in the bottom, he went first and was in the bottom. Kat did the whole "Who'd be joining him? No one Cat, that's who because you wouldn't let half the the bottom 4 be in it with the first group...plus Melanie and Tadd are AWESOME!!

The second group was Marko, Clarice and Sasha. Marko and Sasha did SO good last night. Marko was safe, as expected then it was between Clarice and Sasha, both had been in the bottom before. One did great last night and the other failed to impress and Clarice was put in the bottom.

The Last group was of four, Ricky & Jess and Jordan & Caitlynn. For the boys I think Jess should have been in the bottom, I really don't know why America LOVES these broadway dancers but frankly I HATE them. Jess and seasons past Evan both sucked in my opinion. But alas Ricky was put in the bottom along with Jordan.

The only person I am really surprised with is Ricky instead of Jess.

Here is what I think of the bottom 4.

Mitchel- He didn't do good this week, and he didn't do good last week so it just made since he would be in the bottom

Ricky- He shouldn't have been in the bottom, I think he has one of the best male solos I have ever seen. I firmly believe Ricky is the reason Ryan & Ricky kept getting in the bottom (not because of bad dancing just people not connecting with him)

Clarice- I said it once and I will say it again, she'd go home once she landed herself in the top 10 and her we are Clarice in the bottom 4.

Jordan- I just think she didn't do as well as the other 3 girls and America hasn't really connected with her like the other 3.

The judges are still sending the people home, which I really don't get at all.

They sent home Clarice and Mitchel, not really a big loss. I would have sent them home too. I do think Mitchel departed a week to early though.


NEW ALL STARS!


Ivan- Season 2. Hip Hop. 6th. I don't believe Ivan is a good dancer, maybe he has gotten better. I firmly believe the he brought Allison down in season 2, but then again he was really young and not very well trained I guess we will see how he does next week.

Anya- Season 3. Ballroom. 12th. She is sexy, amazing and has a hot accent. She is Pasha's partner and these guys will be lucky to dance with her. All Star Last Year

Jaimie- Season 3. Contemporary. 10th. I firmly believe that Jaimie was in Clarice position in season 3 I loved her but Hok carried her through the first weeks with his votes and she went home first, Anya should have been in her spot.

Lauren G.- Season 3. C/J/H. 6th. I love Lauren! We talked on twitter once :) ha. Shes a great dancer! I think given a year she probably could have won  the show. All Star Last year

Neil- Season 3. C/J. 3rd. Lauren's old partner from the show, all star last year...really good speaks wookie (that hairy dude from star wars?)

Pasha Again.

Ade- Season 5. C/J. 6th. Ade is a really good dancer and an All Star Last Year

Lauren F.- Season 7. Winner. First ever winner all star, shes amazing and was the last girl standing last year so I think she should dance with a girl this year.

Can't wait!!

You Had More Lifts than Joan Rivers Face!


I was not happy with the all star format last year, but I am going to say it! I missed it. This year so many people had bad partnerships it would have been nice if they had different partners every week.

Well on to the show, it was packed full!

Marko & Chelsie Hightower- Samba. Wait Marko was there? because I was looking at was Chelsie. This was an AMAZING routine, and I think from the glimpses I saw of marko he did great! (JK I saw them both...errr...kind of)

Jordan & Brandon Bryant- Contemporary. It was really good, Jordan really showed what all she could do.

Tadd & Comfort- Hip Hop. It was amazing! Tadd did better than Comfort but they were very well matched.

Mitchell & Melody- Broadway. It was okay, I don't think Melody really brought much to the table, she is a great dancer but I felt it was very All That Jazz which was her big dance on her season.

Caitlynn & Pasha- Argentine Tango. I feel the same way about Pasha as I do with Chelsie (and tWitch, Kathryn and Allison) its usually hard to watch the other person because they do so good, well Caitlynn did amazing! It was like watching Pasha and Anya dance again.

Sasha & tWitch- Hip Hop. Oh hi Sasha, it was nice of you to join the competition again. This is the Sasha we all fell in love with in Vegas, the one that beasts!!! Granted I did feel Alexander pulled her down.

Jess & Kathryn- Contemporary. I was a little nervous Jess would get swallowed up (though I wouldn't have really minded) I had two favorite quotes from this couple, one made by Nigel which is the title and the other was made by Stacey Tookey "Kathryn can practically levitate". It was pretty good,

Melanie & Pasha- Viennese Waltz. AMAZING!! AMAZING!!! AMAZING was Pasha there? all I saw was Melanie being AMAZING!!! MELANIE FOR THE WIN!

Ricky & Allison- Jazz. I really like this, this was probably my favorite Ricky dance.

Clarice & Robert- Bollywood. It was fast and fun and pretty good but not as memorable as the ones in seasons past.


GREAT NIGHT! GREAT SOLOS! I won't make a solo list just because 10 is so many.

Best of the Night:

1. Melanie & Pasha
2. Sasha & tWitch
3. Marko & Chelsie
4. Caitlynn & Pasha
5. Ricky & Allison
6. Tadd & Comfort
7. Jordan & Brandon
8. Jess & Kathryn
9. Clarice & Robert
10. Mitchel & Melody

Guess we will see the results tomorrow!!

My Bottom 4

Mitchel, Jess, Clarice and Jordan!

Top 12 Results and All-Stars!


The top 12 results show was clearly going to be a hard choice for the judges no matter who ends up in the bottom 3 couples.

Caitlynn & Mitchell, Ryan & Ricky and Sasha & Alexander were the three couples in the bottom. I don't really agree with Ryan & Ricky being in the bottom instead of Jordan & Tadd but that is just the way it goes.

Here is my list on how I think they did on solos

1. Ricky
2. Caitlynn
3. Mitchell
4. Ryan
5. Sasha
6. Alexander

In the end they sent Ryan home for the girls. I don't really agree with this because I love her but I do think that Caitlynn did better and than Ryan on her solo and that it wouldn't really be fair to send Sasha home, who has done fairly well on the show and it was her first time in the bottom, even though her solo was not very good either. It almost seemed like Ryan had given up with her solo, it was not her best and when the judges were giving their critques it almost seemed like she knew she was going home, she was down in the dumps.

They judges had an easy choice with the boys I think. Alexander hasn't really been doing good at all except for last night. Sasha's back must be hurting for carrying him all these weeks. Plus the other two boys had two of the best solos I have ever seen.
Now for the moment everyone has been waiting for!! The announcement of the all-stars! Well apparently they will have new all-stars every week. This is good and bad. I like the All-Stars we got ha.

Melody Lacayanga- Season 1. I remember her barely. Season one was so long ago that I don't think she will be excepted as well as everyone else. She was a good dancer and came in second but not my favorite all star.

Allison Holker- Season 2. Everyone who watched last year knows shes a beast, glad she is back,

Pasha Kovalev- Season 3. Great ballroom dancer,  just sad Anya isn't back.

Chelsie Hightower- Season 4. SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, SHUT THE BACK DOOR, SHUT THE GARAGE DOOR. I can't believe she is in ALL-STAR she is one of my all time favorite but I figured since she was on DWTS she wouldn't be able to do this.

Comfort Fedoke- Season 4. I was a huge fan of her on Season 4 and lots of people gave me crap (jokingly) because I wanted her in the top 10 and she didn't make it but Jessica got her and Comfort replaced her. She isn't the best all around dancer but the girl is probably the best female hip hop dancer the show has ever had

Twitch- Season 4. Another great hip hop dancer so glad he is back

Brandon Bryant- Season 5. He was a GREAT dancer but I thought he had a boring personality.

Kathryn McCormick- Season 6. I am really glad she is back even thought she did get a starring role in the movie.

Robert Roldan- Season 7. Hes a great dancer and he as already proved hed be a good all star this year.


so here is my list of people left I like. I will do a girls list then a boys list.

Girls:

1. Melanie
2. Caitlynn
3. Jordan
4. Sasha
5. Jess

Boys:

1. Marko
2. Ricky
3. Tadd
4. Mitchell
5. Jess

Last Week With Your Partner


Finally its almost time for the top 10 week, there are two reasons why I am so excited for this. Reason number one is that we get to see the all-stars (I will make a list to which all stars I want back) and finally the good dancers won't be stuck with some of the less talented ones.

So I said I would update on the past weeks and I will just quickly right reviews, no lists no none sense just reviews.

Top 16 week, I thought that Ashley & Chris, Jordan & Tadd and Sasha & Alexander should have been in the bottom but clearly America did not think the same way. I do agree that Robert was the right person to send home but I do not agree with Miranda, yes I know  I was driving the Miranda hate train at the beginning of the season but I quickly derailed because she got really good. Ashley probably should have gone.

Top 14. I though Chris & Ashley, Sasha & Alexander and Clarice & Jess should have been in the bottom. I get that everyone loves Sasha but she hasn't been doing that good and her partner sucks and I think its stupid that they will probably make it to the top 10 just because people are Sasha friends. She was way to pimped out during Vegas week and hasn't proved herself. Chris & Ashley went home.

Top 12.

Round 1.
Sasha & Alexander- Paso Doble. I thought it was okay, best I have seen Alexander do since he got here.

Jordan & Tadd- Contemporary. It was good, of coarse they are great dancers and Travis Wall was the choreographer.

Ryan & Ricky- Broadway. I thought they danced what they were given very well, but I thought the choreography was terrible.

Caitlynn & Mitchell- Hip Hop. Terrible everything about it.

Melanie & Marko- Tango. Great!!!!

Clarice & Jess- Hip Hop. It was really good I liked it.


Round 2.

Alexander & Sasha- Jazz. I thought it was okay I wasn't that wowed.

Jordan & Tadd- Broadway. I didn't like it at all. Bad choreography and not to hot dancing.

Ryan & Ricky- Cha Cha. I thought they BOTH did amazing! If I was the conductor of the hot tamale train I'd put them on it!

Caitlynn & Mitchel- Jazz. It was so amazing it almost makes up for their first performance

Melanie & Marko- Contemporary. These two can do no wrong

Clarice & Jess- Jive. I thought Jess did way better Clarice.


Now for the list of how everyone did. I will put them in order combining both performances.

1. Melanie & Marko
2. Clarice & Jess
3. Ryan & Ricky
4. Sasha & Alexander
5. Caitlynn & Mitchel
6. Jordan & Tadd

I would put Caitlynn & Mitchell, Jordan & Tadd and Sasha & Alexander in the bottom 3 but I think Ryan and Ricky may be in it instead of Sasha and Alexander.


Assuming that they will only have 10 all-stars and that the ones from last year are allowed to come back here is who I want to be an all-star.

Girls

Anya Garnis
Courtney Galiano
Lauren Gottlieb
Katee Shean
Allison Holker

(I'd like Kathryn McCormick to be an all-star but since she is going to be the star of Step Up 4 then she probably won't be returning)

Boys

Pasha Kovalev
Stephen "tWitch" Boss
Mark Kanemura
Robert Roldan
Kent Boyd

Vulnerable Dancing

The Glee Project Post!

Vulnerability:

So last week on the Glee Project the them was vulnerability and Beiste was the guest judge. They had to sing perfect. Dot chose Matheus as the winner.

This really makes me angry because am not a fan of this little nugget. He is very cocky and I don't think he is that talented.

There Music Video this week was Mad World. Everyone had to go to City Walk with signs on saying what tehy were most vulnerable of. Everyone cried. Marissa tried to not put her most vulnerable thing on the sign and then changed. Cameron had a had time because he is apparently perfect.

Cameron, Emily and Damien were in the bottom 3.

Cameron- Your Song. They didn't like his first performance so they let him change and come back and do it again. Honestly I don't think he would be a very good character on the show.

Emily- Grenade. I thought she sang it well but it was a little over the top.

Damien- Are You Lonesome Tonight. He sang it well, I hate that his accent goes away when he sings.

They chose to get ride of Emily, I guess I agree with this. I probably wouldn't have sent her home this week I probably would have sent Damien home but that is just me. I think Emily would have been great for the show.


Dance Ability:

This weeks challenge was dance ability, which most of the contestants seemed to be a little scared of except Alex who is a dancer. He sure does look like it....NOT.

Harry Shum Jr. (Mike Chang) was the guest judge. Their homework assignment was Hey, Soul Sister. Samuel won, I agree with this. Alex tried to say that he threw it because he wanted someone else to win which annoyed me.

They didn't sing this week they rapped MC Hammers U Can't Touch This. Samuel had a beat boxing solo and he stole his beat box from Hannah which pissed me (and it seemed like her off).

The music video was so good. It was really fun.

The bottom 3 were Matheus, McKynleigh and Alex.

Matheus- Down. I didn't really like it. He needs some work but I do agree that he has gotten better.

McKynleigh- Last Name. This was by far the best performance of the bottom 3 yet I think. She was so good and entertaining I thought she stood out.

Alex- I will Always Love You. He sang it well but I didn't think it was a good performance.

I would have sent Alex home, I don't feel like he'd make a good character on Glee and I think he did worse this week but alas they send McKynleigh home which I think was really dumb.

I think McKynleigh could have been a very good character on glee but I do agree she did need some work.

So of the people who are left here is my list:

1. Hannah
2. Lindsay
3. Samuel
4. Damien
5. Marissa
6. Cameron
7. Alex
8. Matheus


And since I didn't put the old videos I'll add them too.
couldn't find firework sorry :(

The Voice Finale!

Okay this will be a pretty quick post, sorry I have been MIA for the past two weeks. I probably could have (and should have) blogged while on vacation but I didn't it was a nice little break. This is how I will catch up on all the series that are still running right now. I will do a quick recap the day I write about the new episode. But since The Voice is over I will write about it.

Performance Episode:

Javier- Stitch by Stitch. I really didn't like this song very much, he did a good job singing it but it wasn't a very good song in my opinion.

Dia & Blake- I won't Back Down. I loved this performance they did so well together.

Vicci- Afraid To Sleep. It wasn't a bad song I actually kind of liked it.

Beverly and Christina- Beautiful. They had to sing this song because Christina is likely to forget the lyrics if she sings a song that isn't hers. It was really good.

Dia- Inventing Shadows. I really did like this song and I think she did a good job singing it.

Javier and Adam- Man in the Mirror. It was good.

Beverly- Love Sick. It was good at first then it was kind of like "oh can't think of anything else to say but love sick?"

Vicci & Cee Lo- Love is a Battle Field. IT was a great performance it was fun and good!

Here is my list on how everyone did in their original songs, factoring how much I liked the song as well because they all sang them good.

1. Dia
2. Vicci
3. Javier
4. Beverly

I really didn't like Javier's song.

I thought Javier would win, but I did hope it would be Dia.

In the finale they all performed with someone. Vicci with Patrick Monahan, Beverly with Ryan Tedder. Javier got to performed with Stevie Nicks which is one of the coolest things ever, he is so lucky. Dia performed with Miranda Lambert and it was also AMAZING!!

Javier and Dia were the top 2, there votes only separated by 2%. Dia was number 1 on itunes and Javier number 2 so it was a really close battle which I thought was good and Javier won.

Honestly I am so happy for the dude, he is a great guy and an awesome singer. I hope all 4 of them do well.

Sorry this post was kind of crappy, its been 2 weeks and I am kind of out of my "Voice Mood" ha.

I heard that next season we will have more auditions and a longer show so that will be good.
