Melanie Moore Can Dance!

Sorry its so late, over the weekend I didn't have a computer and with classes starting I got really busy. So here it is, the finale!!

They did a few group dances, some we had seen before and some that were new.

The show opening dance was really good I thought and Nick and Jess performed with Matt Flint (winner of SYTYCD UK). It honestly gave me a whole new view on Tap Dancing. I liked Nick and a few seasons back Bianca was one of my favorite contestants and she was a tapper.

Anyway I will list out the dances that the judges chose.

Mary Murphy: Sasha & Kent- contemporary; Melanie & Niel- Contemporary; Melanie & Marko- Contemporary

Nigel Lythgoe: Melanie & Marko- Hip Hop; Sasha & tWitch- Hip Hop; Melanie & Sasha- Jazz

Robin Antin: Tadd & Lauren- Jazz (It was good but I don't really agree with it being good enough for the finale)

Lil C: Miranda & Robert- Hip Hop

Jesse Tyler Ferguson: Caitlynn & Pasha- Argentine Tango, Marko & Allison- Contemporary

I think over all they picked the best dances. I think some were left off but you can't pick them all.


Okay now time for the results...lets face it...it kind of went how all of us were expecting it to go.

Fourth Place: TADD. Who was honestly surprised? Not Tadd. He seemed like he kind of expected it. Of the 4 dancers left he by far was not the best dancer. He had some good routines but the others all had AMAZING routines.

Third Place: MARKO. Now this could have gone a different way (it probably wouldn't have but it could have easily if Marko would have had a better night). He was by far the best boy, no one was in the running for the men except him. He had never been in the bottom so he could have easily gone in and snagged a second place finish.

Second Place: SASHA. I was really hoping she would get second. Shes a great girl but didn't have a strong start to the top 20 like Melanie and I believe that stopped her from taking it all. I kind of figured when they announced the percentage of votes they both ranked in that Sasha got second because it wasn't very close.

WINNER OF SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? 2011 IS: MELANIE!!! She did it. She by far did the best. She never put a pinky out of place this whole time and she was so lovable! About time someone from Georgia won one of these things.


That is really all I have to say, congratulations to everyone who put in all the hard work this season!! Sure it didn't turn out to how I thought but I am very pleased with the results!!

Sasha threw down the Gauntlet and you picked it up and slapped her around with it!

So if you have been reading my blog or are a fan of the show then you should know tonight was the performance finale for So You Think You Can Dance?

I am going to come right out and say that this was my least favorite finale since season 1...where I can't really remember the finale. It didn't really have the finale feel to it, I don't know if it is because Melanie and Sasha have dominated the show so long that it wasn't really a point to see Marko and especially Tadd perform or what.

Don't get me wrong, I love Marko and Tadd I am glad both of them are in the top 4 they have had some good routines in the past and tonight BUT they haven't been the forces that Melanie and Sasha have been. Just because they have been good all season and Melanie hasn't been in the bottom doesn't make me think they will win. Marko hasn't been in the bottom either and for the most part he has done just as good. We all remember Jeanine right? Winner of Season 5. We didn't really know her, she was a good dancer but it seemed Phillip was caring her all the way though until the top 12 where they went into the bottom and he left her...or I guess I should say she left him because she went straight on to win the show.

We had Brandon and Kayla in the finale, both of whom lacked a bit in the personality department compared to Jeanine but were two of the best dancers they show had seen at the time. And Jeanine swept that shit up!! She did good but lets face it her solo the performance night won her the show.

What was the point of that right? Well I was just giving an example that on this show it really doesn't matter whether you are leading the pack or are just a good dancer it all matters how you perform the performance night. It's make it or break it so those boys could have easily blow everyone out of the water and took the whole show. Did they blow us out of the water? No. Will they win? We will see tomorrow but right now I am thinking it will be Sasha and Melanie in the top two (hopefully Melanie coming out on top). But lets get straight down to the dancing!!

Oh but before that let me also say, the music sucked tonight....really really bad. It made some performances bad. Literally I wouldn't watch some performances again because I hate the song that much. I feel that for it to be AMAZING everything has to mesh well...sure the dancers don't get to decide costuming, the song, or even the dance BUT they have to work with it. And if it doesn't look good because of the costuming or music or even the style...well tuff shit because you picked it out of a hat. Jeanine and Phillip didn't want to do that Russian dance, but they did it anyway and gave it there all and you know what?

IT SUCKED! They didn't dance it bad, it just didn't work. That's how I feel about tonight as a whole.

Melanie & Marko: Disco.............I love disco....I think Doriana Sanchez is amazing. I think the routine was awesome...I think the dancing was awesome. I think the chemistry, the costumes the makeup the stage was awesome. But that song. Oh lord that song. It was terrible. Who would think to dance to that song? It was like they were dancing and that was just in the background!!! Like I said it was good dancing but terrible song

Sasha & Mark: Jazz. It was really good. I'd imagine Sasha came out and said "Let's go bitches I have a show to win" she put everything into it and it was amazing! The song wasn't the best but it worked. She through down the challenge (something that I would have hoped Melanie and Marko would have done first).

Tadd & Joshua: Hip Hop. Well there is a reason Joshua hasn't been an All-Star yet. He was to good. He out did Tadd. It wasn't a finale routine. I think I have mentioned it before on here, I know I have mentioned it in real life...Tadd can't be a hip hop dancer. Who ever does his solos (yes it is break dancing but he should be able to semi do hip hop, all the b-boys and the b-girl could do it well) must have been done by a twin. Tadd is more like a great classically trained in everything else person because i think he does better in other styles of dance.

Melanie & Robert: Contemporary. AMAZING!! Thanks for joining making this the finale. Because until this routine it seemed Sasha was the only one who realized this was the finale. This was the best routine of the night. This is where Nigel said the title of this blog haha. I didn't like the song but that dancing just blew me away. I could look past it.

Sasha & Marko: Broadway. Will Sasha hit back after being slapped around by Melanie? Sadly no. I liked this, and I thought it was really fun and Sasha danced it well. But as a routine I don't think it was finale stuff. It didn't even seem like the Marko we knew and loved up there. And Sasha is more a warrior women than a Vamp as they would say.

Sasha & Tadd: Cha-Cha. It wasn't good and it was another really bad song choice. There wasn't anything I liked about this

Marko & Lauren: Contemporary. I'd imagine Lauren, last seasons winner went backstage and told Marko that this shit was the finale and he needed to step up his game. Because Marko went running for the gauntlet to take on the leading ladies with this number! It was really good. Marko finale showed up to play! But I think they might have blocked him about because it wasn't as good as the girls in my opinion. Oh and that song was probably one of the worst of the night.

Melanie & Tadd: Jazz. It seemed a little Broadway/jazz to me. It was really fun...and a bit emotional. It made my night. It was probably my favorite (not the best just my favorite). Everything worked well but Tadd could have kept his pants on...or I guess Melanie could have left them on for him. As for Tadd being in the running more? I don't think he brought it that much. It was more him saying "hey guys I mean business even though I am in my underwear...I wouldn't mind a few votes" Then him actually fighting for it.

Melanie & Sasha: Contemporary. They are so amazing. I thought this number was good but don't think it did them justice. I would have rather seen Travis Wall get his hands on them. They could have made another AMAZING dance like last time and Stacey sadly just made a good dance (There is NOTHING wrong with a good dance, Stacey is great...I just don't think she used these girls to their full potential).

Marko & Tadd: Hip Hop. Uhhh I didn't like this (liked the song though). They could have been more in sync with each other. It was a weird style. Tadd killed Marko.


It just wasn't there for me tonight. Wasn't a spectacular finale. Hopefully tomorrow will be great though right? And after this amazing season we know all 4 of them are amazing.

My Finale List:

2. Sasha
3. Marko
4. Tadd


Okay I am done, finale tomorrow everyone knows I am team Melanie. Time for me to bitch about other things.

This season we haven't exactly had a wide variety of choreographers. I mean we have had probably more than ever but ever week many people double up, so out favorites don't get to choreograph every week. I mean if one week you have people dance something AMAZING by one of our old favorites then another week have people dance something mediocer and the only difference is its a new choreographer I think the choreographer needs to go. So I am making a list of who I want to see more of and who I want to see less of. Lets start out with less.

Actually Less is bad, because some did bad then proved them self later. But I can live without Mark Ballas and Liza Lira I am sure they are great ballroom dancers but they don't give non ballroom dancers much to work with. And they aren't like Toni Redpath or Jean-Marc Généreux where if they work there ass off it will be amazing. Marko and Liza made routines that you'd need a ballroom dancers (for lack of better word) swagger to look good doing.

More: Tyce Diorio (we saw a lot though); Mia Michaels (come back please!!); Dmitry Chaplin; Toni Redpath; NappyTabs; Travis Wall; and Sonya.

Also these having famous guest judges SUCKS. Almost all of them were scared to be mean!! Suck it up! Its your job as a judge to be truthful. Lady GaGa was really the only one who gave semi good critiques. They seemed to get worse as they went on rounding out the end with Katie Holmes.

I want Debbie Allen, Tyce, Adam Shankman, Toni Redpath, Lil' C, Jason Gilkison, Mia Michaels, Sonya and hell even Robin Antin to be the guest judges. (or and other choreographer!) They just do so much better of a job.




Okay besides Kristin Chenoweth.

Best Dances

Okay so this is how it's going to work, I will pick the best dance of the week. Or the one I liked the most I should say. When they perform twice I will pick two. I won't pick solos or group performances (other than the my favorite from the get to know you day).


Audition- Melanie!

Meet the Top 20: Top 10 Girls

Top 20: (TIE) Melanie & Marko Contemporary  and Iveta & Nick Quickstep

Top 12: Caitlynn & Mitchell Jazz, Melanie & Marko Contemporary

Top 10: Sasha and tWitch Hip-Hop

Top 8: Melanie & Niel Contemporary, Sasha & Melanie Jazz

Top 6: Tadd & Melanie Broadway, Caitlynn & Marko Jazz

There you go everyone!! So here is the round up on how mand Dances everyone got that were the best.

Melanie- 6

Marko- 3

Tadd- 1

Caitlynn- 4

Sasha- 2

Mitchell- 3

Iveta- 1

Nick- 1

Ryan- 1

Ricky- 1

A Good Fight Was Had

But also, Ricky and Caitlynn are gone. I am sad to see these to go but lets start at the top of the night.

Cat ang Nigel announced that they wouldn't be deciding who would be going home and that America's vote would send someone home. They also wouldn't announce the top 2 and they it would all be random basically beside the fact that the two people in the bottom would go home.

Well I had a theory (that I hoped would be write but turned out to be dead wrong) that Caitlynn was voted into the top 4 and that one of Sasha or Melanie would go home. Because I thought maybe Nigel didn't want to take away from Caitlynn, who got voted into the finale but didn't want to have to be the bad guy and decide between the other two. Clearly I was wrong.

I wish there could have just been a top 6!!

Lauren and Kent performed there Prom piece which has got a Emmy nomination tonight, I was really hoping that they were doing something original but it was nice to see the two of them back.

All the dancers did a solo and they Melanie and Marko were announced to be in the top 4. I am glad the two of them made it to the finale!! so exciting!!

Then Pia performed along with some dance group. Pia's song was not as good as I hoped it would have been.

The girls results were first. I was really sad the Caitlynn went home, but I think I would have been really sad to see Sasha go home too. I think Caitlynn KILLED it last night, but she didn't always do well and I think that was her downfall. Sasha didn't always do well but lets face it, that was Alexanders fault.

For the boys I wanted Tadd to be in the finale but I don't think I really would have been upset if Ricky was in it. I like the both so much it. Ricky went home. I honestly don't think either of them have/had a chance of winning the finale.

I am not sure next weeks format exactly but everyone is coming back!! WHOOT!

Tomorrow probably I will post a "Favorite Dances" list like I did for Idol earlier this year.

TEAM MELANIE!!!!!

Best Solo Ever.

Last night the top 6 performed on So You Think You Can Dance? and I have to say that it was one of the best performance shows yet! It was good to see some old favorites back and it was great to see some dancers reach their full potential on the show.

Christina Applegate and Lil C were the guest judges, I thought Christina A. did very good but frankly I was just glad to see Lil C back on the judges panel. He she be permanent, I know he is doing other things and that would be a big commitment but come on!! Its only 2 nights a week for all of summer lol.

First all 6 dancers left danced with an All-Star and then they'd dance with a fellow contestant. In the middle of all of this they would do solos. I will go ahead and make a solo lists I will include all of the the dancers.

1. Melanie- She figured her solo out right before she went on AND it was probably the best solo ever.
2. Marko
3. Sasha
4. Caitlynn
5. Ricky
6. Tadd

Ricky usually does a lot better than he did tonight, and I am kind of tired of Tadd's solos, they were fun at first but now they seem very repetitive...its just a bunch of the same tricks.


Back to the Show!!!

Melanie & tWitch- HipHop. CALLED IT. This was probably Melanies worst dance she has done on the show, it was good but alas the worst. I think the music was a weird choice (I love Roman's Revenge...just not good to dance too).

Sasha & Kent- Contemporary. CALLED IT. I would just like to give Kent a major shout out, he was a beast. Sasha did so amazing, the emotion she brought to the piece was so real. I loved it.

Tadd & Ellenore - Jazz. I didn't call it. Oh well, but I did call Ellenore doing Jazz? haha. It was fun to watch but by know means the best dance. It was just kind of weird with the chandelier and everything.

Ricky & Jaimie- Contemporary. CALLED IT. I really liked this piece, I think it would have been just as good without the sticks though. I wasn't excited about Jaimie being an All-Star but she made me eat my words.

Marko & Janette- Paso Doble. Didn't call it. They actually went third but I forgot them, sorry. I don't think it was the best Paso Doble we have seen on the show but it was good. The second Janette came on screen I was reminded why I liked her when she was on the show.

Caitlynn & Pasha- Samba. CALLED IT. It was so good!! I loved it. Caitlynn is a ballroom dancing QUEEN!!!!!

Sasha & Ricky- Waacking..........I don't really know what to say. It was really fun to watch, it would have been interesting in a talent show or earlier in the competition but it was sandwiched between two amazing dancers. Sasha did better than Ricky.

Melanie & Tadd- Broadway. Thank you Spencer Lift!! I ragged on him earlier this season because he had two really bad dancers but this was AMAZING!!! On both ends!! Surely nothing could beat it tonight!!! Right?!

WRONG

Caitlynn & Marko- Jazz. Thank you Sonya you crazy crazy genius!! This was amazing. It was like like Caitlynn woke up and said "Fuck it, I want to be in the finale. I don't care if everyone thinks Sasha and Melanie should be there my ass Will going to dance better than everyone tonight!" And that she did....oh yeah and Marko did AMAZING. I am just so proud of Caitlynn.


Best:

1. Caitlynn & Marko- Jazz
2. Tadd & Melanie- Broadway
3. Sasha & Kent- Contemporary
4. Caitlynn & Pasha- Samba
5. Ricky & Jaimie- Contemporary
6. Marko & Janette- Paso Doble
7. Melanie & tWitch- Hip Hop
8. Tadd & Ellenore- Jazz
9. Sasha & Ricky- Waacking


Time for my bottom 4 list! As hard is for me to say this I think tonight for the girls I would put in the bottom Sasha and Melanie. I think Melanie had a great solo, and did amazing but I think all around tonight Caitlynn did the best for the girls (and better than the boys)

For the boys I would want Tadd and Ricky to be in the bottom.

NOW that is just who I think deserves to be in the bottom. Here is what I think is probably going to happen.
Caitlynn, Sasha, Tadd and Ricky will probably be in the bottom. And if the judges are still picking they will almost with out a doubt send Caitlynn and Ricky home. Which I think is a mistake because I think Caitlynn should stay over Sasha.

But what can you do. This is why I wish the judges didn't have a say anymore. ESPECIALLY since they all have been saying who there favorite girls were the past 2 weeks. It would be understandable if they didn't get to pick, but since they do they should keep there favorites to themselves.

All I know is they better not send Melanie home, and they better not pick a winner next week (unless they pick Melanie).



Okay. anyway I thought I'd tell yall that tonight Kent and Lauren will be dancing TOGETHER!!! WHOOT!!!!

SYTYCD Top 8 P&R

Sorry for the lack of update last week, it was a really busy week I was going back and forth and back and forth between Athens. But I am back!

Performance

Performance night the dancers all danced twice, once with an All-Star and once with a fellow contestant. Lady GaGa and Rob Marshall were the guest judges, we had so many people over that I couldn't really hear them talk so I won't say much about what GaGa said.

Sasha & Pasha- Quickstep. Once again I'd say we had another great quickstep for the season, it wasn't nearly as good as Iveta and Nicks, but it was up to par. Sasha needs to gain some weight.

Caitlynn & Ivan- Hip Hop. Personally, I think Caitlynn did very well and kept up with Ivan (who may I add I thought did very well, I wasn't the biggest fan of him being an all-star but he won me over). I think Ivan had a bit more swag but that is a given.

Jordan & Ade- Jazz. It was okay I guess, I wasn't wowed by it and it didn't leave a lasting impression.

Melanie & Neil- Contemporary. AMAZING! Just curious, can Melanie do anything wrong? because I am seriously thinking she shes perfect.



uggggghhhhhh

okay so I wrote out this huge blog i swear and then my computer messed up while posting and this is all that saved. FML so that being said I wont rewrite it. sorry.. It was late anyway.

here is something I did

I made predicitions for tonight

here they are

Pasha & Caitlynn dance classical ballroom

tWitch & Melanie dance hip hop

Kent & Sasha dance either contemporary or bollywood

Jaimie & Ricky dance contemporary

Janette & Tadd dance latin ballroom

Ellenore & Marko dance Jazz

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

So You Think America will Save the Worst Dancers Every Week?

Did that really happen or was it just in my head? Last night on SYTYCD the judges had to eliminated 4 dancers out of the bottom 3. I should have known I would have had favorites in the bottom because that always happens to me during a double elimination.

Wadi & Missy were the first couple put into the bottom 3. I think they knew this was coming, they didn't do to well during performance night.

Iveta & Nick were the second couple in the bottom 3. I wasn't to surprised, I kind of figured. I hoped they wouldn't be but there dance wasn't as good as everyone Else's (it was a good dance, but a lot of other people seemed to have a spectacular dance).

The last couple put in the bottom 3 was Ryan & Ricky!!! Excuse me? Not Jess & Clarice? This really pissed me off because now not only were two of my favorite about couples in the bottom 3 (and I am rather fond of wadi and missy) but at least one of these couples would have to go home!!

Now I had some hope for Iveta and Nick staying when I thought it probably be Jess & Clarice. If they found themselves in the bottom 3 it would probably be Nick staying and Iveta and Missy battling for the girls, with Iveta's likely win.

BUT instead a ballroom dancer and a tap dancer (which means they don't have the best solos) had to compete against two amazing dancers like Ryan and Ricky.

All I have to say is I hope the judges learned their lesson last week because they have 6 great dancers in the bottom 3 and last week they had some good, but some not as talents dancers and choose to save them, probably because they didn't want to choose between a "personality favorite" who had a shitty solo and an "awesome dancer" who didn't perform on performance night.

Well time for solos. I'll just give a list and give my thoughts.

Best Solos:
1.Ricky- he was amazing.
2. Ryan- I don't think she gave her all, but she definitely did the best of the girls.
3.Iveta- She did well, I mean they have had better ballroom soloist on the show
4. Nick- I actually enjoyed this tap dance.
5. Wadi- I expected more from Wadi.
6. Missy- I was very unimpressed. I don't think she showed anything worth keeping.

So alas the judges picked Ryan and Ricky. I won't say I disagree with their choice, because if I was on the judges panel (which I should be) I would have chosen the same two. I just think its dumb that we lost our one ballroom girl of the season so early when she didn't do bad at all.

Clarice and Jess should have been in the bottom. They better be thanking their lucky stars.


So since it was a result show, I will be giving a list of my favorite dancers, I will do it in the partnerships:

1. Ryan & Ricky
2. Melanie & Marko
3. Caitlynn & Mitchell
4. Ashley & Chris
5. Jordan & Tadd
6. Robert & Miranda
7. Sasha & Alexander
8. Clarice & Jess

So its known, some people definitely pull their partner up the list and some drag them down. Well I will say since my second favorite couple went home at least it gives me one less team to worry about, though I'd rather worry than see them go home.

Iveta was definitely one of the early casualties of the season but she's achieved so much more than the title "America's Favorite Dancer" though I know she would be happy to have that under her belt too. Maybe Dancing with The Stars will pick her up.

Dr. Deeley in the House

Here we go again! Does anyone have a bit of deja-vu? I sure do!

For the first time in SYTYCD history, I watched something instead of sytycd. I watched the voice for the first hour because I wanted to see who was going to the finale but I promise not to do it again. I ended up going back and watched SYTYCD so don't worry your pretty little heads.

Debbie Reynolds (Yes, we are related) was judge. She did the Woody Wood Pecker noise and I almost died. Also we are loosing more than 4 contestants tonight because she is taking about 5 or 6 home with her.


There was a rumor that they were all getting new partners, but like most rumors it was false.


Ryan & Ricky- Jazz. Or should I say Roderick? (That is probably spelled wrong). They did amazing, it was hot, sexy and fun. Ryan almost showed us her boobs but was quickly covered by Ricky.

Caitlynn & Mitchell- Contemporary. This was an amazing dance, I am glad Mitchell was saved because he could easily be one of the best male dancers on the show. He punched Caitlynn in the face, the side of her nose was bleeding like a mad man, but she seemed alright. They are the injury team this year it seems though.

Missy & Wadi- ChaCha. I didn't like it at all. They bashed Wadi, who did bad, but I don't think Missy did as well as they said she did. It really makes me mad that this two did so bad.

Iveta & Nick- Bollywood. I was really worried about this couple because Iveta probably doesn't tap and they probably wouldn't get ballroom again so they'd be out of their styles.I was a little relieved that they got bollywood because the bollywood dances are always good. They did good, I don't think it was as well as Joshua and Katee's but I think it was better then the two guys who had to do it last year.

Miranda & Robert- Hip Hop. Or should I say Saving Grace? I think the fact that they got hip hop and did so well might save them this week. I think they both did well last week (well it was fun at least) but they actually danced well this week. Miranda did mess up a black flip but that shit is hard. I was surprised at how well she did. Hopefully if they do land in the bottom 3 tonight Robert will have a good solo.

Clarice & Jess- Contemporary. Clarice was definitely saved last week because she was probably going home, but they were not helped much by getting this routine. It didn't sit well with them and I think they looked weird doing it. It wasn't good. They may find themselves in the bottom 3 again. If they did good last week and ended up there then they probably will tonight because they did bad.

Jordan & Tadd- Viennese Waltz. Uhm excuse me? Who was that dancing out there? Because it couldn't have been Jordan and Tadd because they aren't ballroom dancers!!! But Damn they sure did look like it! I am surprised. I think they are both great so I thought they'd do ballroom well but not that great but they blew it out of the water.

Melanie & Marko- Jazz. IT was great!! They are superstars. I couldn't keep my eyes off Melanie. Love them both.

Sasha & Alexander- Hip Hop. Thank you for finally proving yourself Alexander!! It was a great performance and I felt the chemistry that lacked last week. They are redeemed in my book.

Ashley & Chris- Broadway. I love Ashley, shes really cute and good looking. They'd make a good couple. I really liked the dance, it wasn't the best of the night but it definitely was really good.


Best Dances:

1. Caitlynn & Mitchell
2. Miranda & Robert
3. Melanie & Marko
4. Jordan & Tadd
5. Ryan & Ricky
6. Sasha & Alexander
7. Ashley & Chris
8. Iveta & Nick
9. Clarice & Jess
10. Missy & Wadi

My Bottom 3-

Missy & Wadi, Clarice & Jess, Ashley & Chris

I'd eliminate Missy Wadi, Clarice and Jess.

This weeks elimination is going to suck because I think people who did bad last week did good this week. And some people who I think are the best dancers did bad. Well that's the way the cookie crumbles. I just hope that Missy & Wadi and Clarice & Jess are in the bottom because they did the worst.

AWWWW PISSS!!!

The first results show of the season. Tension is high!!

As we already know Mitchell is in the bottom 3. He is joined by Jordan & Tadd, Clarice & Jess, and Miranda & Robert.

They dance there solos then all hell breaks loose.

Nigel, for the first time ever asks Mitchell and Robert to dance again. Why was Mitchell able to dance tonight and not last night? Lame. Plus I didn't like Roberts solo at all.

Then there was all hell trying to figure out who is going home then he says they are all safe

.....

really?


I wouldn't mind if any of these dancers went home (except Robert but his solo was crappy in my opinion) and they don't send anyone home because we still need to "get to know them?


I would have send Clarice and Robert home. Clarice because of her solo and Robert because he didn't dance last night. Unfortunately I am not a judge.


I guess it is good that we will get to know these dancers even more. What if 3 favorite couples are in it next week? or 2 out of 3? Then Nigel is going to look really stupid.

Yeah if it was my favorites in the bottom I'd probably be happy but now I have to worry that my favorites will be in the bottom next week.


Oh well. Sorry for the short post but since there wasn't an elimination I didn't think there was a need to drag it on.

The Queen of the Beasts

The first performance show of the year for So You Think You Can Dance? Premiered last night with a lot of talent!!

Megan Mullally from Will and Grace was a guest judge and surprisingly she had some pretty good things to say about the dances.

So Here we go!!!

Jordan & Tadd- African Jazz. I kind of like Jordan and I really like Tadd so I really like this partnership. I think they are about equally talented. They did well and I think it was a great way to start the show.

Sasha & Alexander- Contemporary. I am a little upset that Sasha got stuck with him, I really don't like him and wish he wasn't in the top 20. I just don't think he is that great and I don't think he could keep up with Sasha...she did way better then him last night.

Clarice & Jess- Broadway. I thought I would like Clarice but I probably won't because I don't like Jess. I think they were lucky they got a Broadway dance that was pretty enjoyable.

Ryan & Rickey- Hip Hop. I LOVE Ryan, as yall know. I was hoping she'd be with a hip hopper but I suppose its cool she's with Rickey I don't really have any thoughts about him. They did really good if you'd ignore the fact that Ryan smiled the whole time...it was kind of awkward.

Caitlynn & Mitchell- Jazz. I think Caitlynn is really beautiful like Mitchell said haha it is easier dancing with a 10 unfortunately him he was hurt and didn't dance. She got to dance with Robert who came in third place last season (I hope he is an all-star) and they did amazing. I bet Mitchell would have done well too but I don't think he would be as good as Robert

Miranda & Robert- Jive. PISSSSS I love RObert, he is one of my favorite guys...I don't like Miranda I don't think she's that pretty. I will say she did look prettier with her hair pulled back. I don't think the dancing was the best but I loved it, Robert made it so fun! I think I could learn to like Miranda because her partner is Robert.

Missy & Wadi- Jazz. Both of these people fall in the middle of my list, but I think they did well. It bothered me that they didn't seem in-sync the whole time but it was really good and I am very surprised Wadi could keep up with Missy!

Melanie & Marko- Contemporary. I love Melanie and I think Marko is a good dancer but I hate his voice. THEY DID AMAZING! Probably one of my favorite dances from this show ever. She is the Queen of the Beasts.

Ashley & Chris- Hip Hop. Ashley is really pretty and I think Chris is a great Hip hop dancer and I think it was fun and they did well. Ashley has some swag!

Iveta & Nick- Quick Step. I really like both of them so I am happy they got paired up together but I think it will be a challenge when they start entering styles outside of their own. Kiss of death the first episode? Well Iveta was the one doing that kiss and it looked like she was passing that kiss onto another couple because that was the best quick-step they have ever had on the show. They did amazing. I suppose it didn't hurt that Iveta is a world champion.


Top Performances-

1. Melanie & Marko
2. Iveta & Nick
3. Miranda & Robert
4. Missy & Wadi
5. Caitlynn & Robert* (From season 7)
6. Jordan & Tadd
7. Ryan & Rickey
8. Ashley & Chris
9. Clarice & Jess
10. Sasha & Alexander

Bottom 3 Girls (I'll bold who I'd send home)

Ashley, Clarice, Sasha

Bottom 4 Boys  (I'll bold who I'd send home)

Chris, Jess, Alexander, Mitchell

I think because some people my be favorites right now they could be swayed. I hope they send Mitchell home and tell him he can come back next year. As much as I don't like Alexander he might as well stay because Mitchell was to hurt to dance. BUT at the same time I don't want Caitlynn to have to dance with Jess lol. Guess we will see in a few hours.

THIS is So You THINK You Can Dance?

TOP 20! This is the show I live for in the summer, sometimes its the only show I even watch. I love it. A lot of people I really liked went home in Vegas this season :/ but what can you do. I will say the two people I wish would have been in the top 20 right now just to get it over with because there weren't many upsets. I wish Lil O would have made it, even though I'd probably be pissed that all the girls are taller then him. I also with Bridget Krouse would have made it. She has been on so many seasons and been to the Green Mile so many times I just think its time for her to be on the show, well keep it up kido because maybe next year will be your year. (Also on a little side not her little sister was in Vegas this year also.) Oh and I was said Sasha's sister didn't make it but lets face its she did miss a round I hope she comes back!

Okay time for business. I am not very excited about the contestants this season, not because I don't think they are great I just feel like there are a lot of people we know nothing about. I would say over half the people we barely saw anything from in Vegas. But that's the show!

Stacey Tookey Contempory- Rickey Jaime, Miranda Maleski, Sasha Mallory, Melanie Moore. I like this dance, I think they are all very good dancers. My favorite of this group are Sasha and Melanie.

Dave Scott Hip Hop- Tadd Gadduang, Wadi Jones, Chris Koehl, Robert Taylor Jr. This was good but what else would you expect form 4 hip hop dancers? These 4 are probably up there on the top of my list for favorite guys but of them I'd say Robert and Chris are my favorite. I wasn't even aware Tadd was still in Vegas until he made it to the top 20.

Jason Gilkison Paso Doble- Iveta Lukosiute (and Pasha) Iveta is probably the person I am most excited for, as those of you who have watched with me before I love me some good ballroom dancers, and was disappointed by the early elimination of Cristina last year when she really didn't do bad at all. I hope Iveta gets a good partner and does well!

Sonya Tayeh Jazz- Jordan Casanova, Marko Germar, Missy Morelli, Clarice Ordez. I think all 4 of these dancers can probably do well on this show. I don't like the fact that Jordan always wears bras and has no boobs and a slight belly. I have head good things about Missy and Clarice is beautiful. I also like Marko but hate his voice it sounds like he got that bullet stuck in his voice box. My two favorites are Missy and maybe Jordan. Idk why I just have a feeling I will probably not like Jordan in the future.

Chirstopher Scott Tap/Broadway- Jess LeProtto and Nick Young. I do not like Jess at all but I do like Nick. I don't like the fact that they are putting Tap into the hat this year and I don't think it should be tap or a ballroom number it should be tap or broadway because they are kind of the same. I don't think Jess is anywhere near as good as Nick so if Jess and a girl have to do it I don't think it'll be good.

Travis Wall Contemporary- Alexander Frost, Mitchell Kelly, Caitlynn Lawson, Ryan Ramirez, Ashley Rich. I love RYAN!!! She seemed to be the best in this dance. I really love all the girls in this piece though I think Ashley may be an early out just because we hardly know anything about here. I am not so thrill about Alexander but maybe he will do good.


So know we know the top 20 and their styles. I think the girls are more likable off the bat this season (with the hip hop boys just as equal as the majority of the boys) I feel like most of the boys just creeped into the top 20 without us seeing them much in Vegas.

Now its time for the Boys then Girls then everyone.

Christopher Scott Hip Hop- there were parts that were okay but and it wasn't bad but nobody stood out as an extraordinary dancer.

Sonya Tayeh Jazz- It was AMAZING!! So many good dancers in the girls this season, Nigel was right they are beasts.

Tyce Diorio Jazz- Everyone. It was was really good. I felt Ryan was very featured in this. Its almost like they are trying to make this the Ryan Ramirez show but baby I ain't complaining! Love her!

I can't wait to see who is partnered with who. This really can make or break you in this show. If two people get get partnered together they can dominate there way to the top 10 (Katee & Joshua, Twitch and Kherington). If someone lesser known gets stuck with someone really good it can push them to the top 10 and even give them the boost they need to win (Phillip and Jeanine). It can even ruin peoples chances. So this will be fun to see with so many "unknowns".
