So You Think You Can Dance 2009

[Tonichelle]

yeah you can normally tell if they were happy with the performance or not when you see them in the audience... sometimes they look down right ticked.

[Grgranny]

I think someone meant promiscuous.

I felt kinda sad that Vitolio was sent home this week. This competition seemed to mean so much to him - partly because of his background. I also felt that he would have had a breakthrough moment. I would've preferred that they send Kupono home.

I think the judges will make every effort to keep Phillip until the top 10 since they'll want him on tour.

I was shocked that Phillip and Jeanine were in the bottom 3. I really thought that Caitlin and Jason would have gotten the spot.

For me, Brandon/Janette and Ade/Melissa are the strongest existing couples. It will be interesting to see how things work out when the couples start changing in 2 weeks when they are the top 10.

I can't believe the poor material Evan is being given. That Mia Michaels routine was horrible. I wish someone would give Evan a broadway routine to show off his strengths.

Can someone explain the Mia Michaels routine to me. I enjoyed it but wasn't sure what it was all about. I know they said something about her butt but there had to be more.

It was pretty lame choreography....poor Evan.

Heyang, I was thinking where is Sex?? I love Sex, but you know lots of people might not.

Okay, are you kidding? Is that the name of a dancer or choreographer? I hope he has a real name....

[Tonichelle]

I love Mia's work most of the time, even if I don't get it or agree with it... love it... at least it seems thought out, sometimes I don't get that with some of the others (and anything that tells a story wins for me)


and yes, Lad the person's name is not Sex, it's a "stage name" hes not a dancer or a choreographer... he's a wannabe contestant on the show - he comes to the auditions at least once each season, and he made an appearance on American Idol this past season... he's just an attention hog.


back to this week's show - I was really peeved with the judges talking about the Kalinka... it was NOT the choreographer's OR the folk dance's fault that it sucked. The dancers half-bleeped it. I grew up in a very Russian influenced community. We don't just have a lot of native dance exhibitions throughout the year, we also have a lot of Russian dance... they could have done it much better... some parts were okay, nothing was spectacular... they didn't even TRY to sell it... much less play the character of the dance.

He did get a Broadway routine, and the routine was amazing, but Randy, and him in particular could have done a better job of it. I loved the Mia routine that they got.

Does anyone else think Janette could walk away with the grand prize??? I have begun to watch her a lot. Anyone want to venture out and say who's going home tonight??

[show 42]

I'll guess Kupono and Melissa..........42

[heyang]

I am shocked that Ade is in the bottom 2 with Kupono. I figured Jason or Phillip would be there instead of Ade. Kupono should be going out.

As for the ladies, I see Randi leaving this week. She's just not memorable enough and the paso killed her.

Over on www.ew.com, most SYTYCD fans participating in a 'contest' pick Randi and Kupono to exit this week.

Yes I totally agree about the Russian dance number. I liked the choreography. We have genuine Ukrainian dancers in Edmonton Alberta who could outdance this pair anyday:

Is the show becoming So You Think You are a Comedian? Ellen looked like a deer caught in the headlights through most of the show. I don't get why she was there. Strange show...

[Dee4707]

I am not sure why Ellen was on the show, does anyone know?? I think she was uncomfortable too.

This was probably one of the most moving dances I've seen.

I missed last night's show... lots of drama in my life at the moment... I was a wreck.

[Tonichelle]

Katie Holmes is worse at lipsyncing than any of the "singers" of her generation...

or if we want a more hollywood comparison, I miss watching Audrey Hepburn fake singing in My Fair Lady... and I'm not seeing much dance... pathetic... we could have seen more SYTYCD favorites. blah.

I guess she won't be walking away with the grand prize. I was shocked she was in the bottom 2 and then leaving. I loved watching her dance she made everything movement so big. I was surprised Brandon was in the bottom 2 too.
