SYTYCD - I am a little relieved

I know that this is mean but I am so glad that Jess is gone on SYTYCD.  I was so fearful that he was going to be in the final 4 and the judges loved him but I was tired of his mug-like expressions.  Jordan, I am sad about, but Jess I could do without.  As for Lady Gaga as a guest judge; I did not get it.  I had trouble understanding her and when she did speak I felt like she was high and not completely with it.  On another note, at the end of the results show did Tadd and Jess kiss?  I thought that Tadd was straight, maybe I was just seeing things.  Anyone?  I deleted the episode so I cannot re-watch. 

So You Think You Can Dance - Really?

Last week we had to accept the fact that no one was going home.  So now, not only are Jess and Clarice are still in the competition, but Wadi has been sent home.  I am getting a little frustrated with the judges.  Ricky's solo was good but I thought Wadi's was better.  Plus, Ricky and Ryan together drive me bananas for some reason.  I was disappointed with the results last night (obviously) but I will say this.  The routines have been good.  I really loved Jordan and Tadd, Robert and Miranda, Sasha and Alexander and Ashley and Chris.  Just note SYTYCD...if Jess stays and other dancers go in the next few weeks, I will stop watching.  He is annoying, fake and not very good.  Which sucks because I like Clarice.  Does anyone else have an opinion?

So You Think You Can Dance - Results

As most of you know (if you watch the show), Alex Wong (one of the best dancers ever on the show) had to bow out of the competition last night due to an injury.  This is a guy who made it on last year's So You Think You Can Dance only to be denied by the Miami Ballet to be let out of his contract.  So he tried again this year and made it (of course).  He has been good, great and spectacular!  Alex's hip-hop number with Twitch was one of my favorite moments of the season.  So I was sad to see him go and left wondering, if Alex had not had to leave who would have gone home last night?  The other two in the bottom three were Billy Bell and Ashley.  Now Ashley had a great night Wednesday night.  Her hip-hop with the smarmy Dominic was inspired and fun and she "made it through" the dreaded quickstep.  Now Billy on the other hand has just not impressed me this season.  I know, I know he is an outstanding dancer but at some point he has to WOW me and it has not happened.  Its a mute point because Alex had to go but I am left wondering who is next?

Just a couple of other things;  obviously the judges play favorites as proven by the critique of Adechike.  For some reason they (Adam, Nigel and Mia) do not like this kid and I cannot figure out why.  Mia's apology last night was warranted but I am not sure, by the look on Adechike's face, if he was in a very forgiving mood.  On the other side of the coin, Jose' is obviously a favorite.  And while I like his smile and exuberance to learn new things he is not in the same class of dancers as the rest of the finalists are.  The judges have to stop pushing him because he cannot keep up and it is time for him to go. 

What did you think of last night's show.  Was anyone else sad to see Alex go? 

SYTYCD - Shocking Results

Such a busy weekend but I wanted to weigh in about the early (or not depending on how you look at it) demise of Philip on SYTYCD. Once again I did not take into account America's favorites (Evan and Randi) when placing dancers in the bottom three and was stunned when Melissa and Ade and Philip and Jeanine were picked to "dance for their life". I know that I have been a huge Philip non-fan these past few weeks but I still feel as if he danced the jive with a little life last week. Anyway, the solos were solos (Ade was phenomenal) and Caitlyn (no surprise there) and Philip were booted right before making it into the top 10 and the tour. But wait, we knew Nigel picked favorites and as Philip was undoubtedly one of Nigel's favorites the top 10 tour this year will be the Top 12 tour with Philip and Caitlyn participating. So now we are in the Top 10 and the dancers get to "switch it up" with new partners every week. I can't wait to see how everyone responds to this new level of competition. So long Philip. In a see of contemporary dancers; you will be missed.

SYTYCD - Results Show

Well I got that one wrong didn't I? Or maybe America did. I know everyone has their favorites but I am sad to see a couple go home who I think danced so well Wednesday night. Karla and Vitolio did not deserve to go home last night but someone had to go (as Nigel says).

The bottom three consisted of Kayla and Kupono (shocking truly), Philip and Jeanine and Vitolio and Karla. Philip and Janine I understood. They danced the hip-hop number mediocre and after the past few weeks, Philip needed to be placed in the bottom. However (or but) if one more person announced how excited they were to see Philip's solo I think I would have thrown something at the television. At one point I was a Philip fan but now I want him to prove that he can do something else. Also, please people give some love to his partner Jeanine. She gets swept under the rug and I think she is a phenomenal dancer (and she has not danced her style yet).

As for Kayla and Kupono; I think that I was as shocked as they were that they ended up in the bottom. Although I was not crazy about the weird Sonya dance that they did, it was still danced well and enjoyable. I felt bad for Kayla but glad to see her live to dance another week. I am still not a Kupono fan (I don't know why) but I like Kayla a lot and hope that she does not end up back in the bottom for a few weeks.

So long to Vitolio and Karla. I liked them both and actually enjoyed their solos last night. But I am not a professional and do not know what to look for in a dancer. I just know what I like and both dancers were enjoyable to watch. Especially when they danced the quickstep.

Is anyone else sad to see these two go home? Were you shocked that Caitlin and Jason were not in the bottom three? What about Randi and Evan? Can Philip do anything besides hip-hop? Stay tuned for next week.
