American Idol 2011...Finale...and the winner is:

Still a little disappointed it's these 2 in the finale...but I guess I have to get over it. I was underwhelmed last night with Scotty...but I have never been a fan of his. Lauren did great with her first 2 songs and really did fantastic with her last song. Scotty's single was kinda blah. I still don't have high hopes for Lauren winning 'cause of those silly tweens out there...

I'm halfway through the show...Marc Anthony is singing and I am waiting for J-Lo to appear since she isn't in the judges seat.

My fav performances so far...Jack Black with Casey and TLC minus the L...may she rest in peace...and of course they were singing an ode to my senior year of HS...don't go chasing those waterfalls kids.

Hey there's J-Lo reenacting her fly girl days!:) Oh and Sheila E...which David called from the beginning.

I was completely annoyed by freakin' Judas Priest and James but laughed when there number was followed by the gospel music including Miss Gladys Knight. I also thought that maybe they didn't need to sing all of Beyonce's songs before she made her appearance. I do wish they made the top 12 girls dance along with Beyonce in those ridiculous heels...how does she not break her ankle?

Now our top 12 boys are singing...who in the world picked these songs? AHHHH Tom Jones...Hearing them does make me remember how much I loved Stephano and Paul. (Shot to Jack Black...dude is groovin' and still crackin' me up).

Have I ever mentioned I can't stand Lady Gaga...I may be the only one...but I do. I don't hate her songs, I just can't watch her...I'd rather listen to Glee sing her songs.

Did I also mention that I fast forwarded through Tim McGraw...I won't however be fast forwarding through Carrie Underwood, because I love her...and it wouldn't be an AI event with out her. Sadly, as much as I like Lauren, Carrie's voice just puts her's to shame.

All the little clips of the contestants being all snappy are hilarious.

and if you haven't noticed...the last few weeks have been the Beyonce and Lady Gaga show. I like me some Beyonce...but seriously...speaking of seriously...Spiderman? It's a good thing I LOVE Bono and The Edge, or I'd be fast forwarding this too. I'm still SO sad that I wasn't at Rice Eccles last night...I need to attend another U2 concert...one ain't enough.

Steven Tyler is missing from the judges seats....ohhhh baby this could be good...so good. I LOVE that man!

And the winner is (already a minute late...thanks DVR for recording long)...

Scotty

(blech)

Alright America...your next country star has been crowned:)

Yes...I'm still watching AI.

I know I haven't blogged since like week 2 or 3 of this AI season...I've just haven't cared that much to share my thoughts each week. I've been annoyed with the contestants who have remained and those who have left. I miss Paul...but I thought since next week is the finale I would share 2 thoughts...

#1...I am SO FREAKIN' happy that James went home last week. I could not stand that kid from day one and I was clappin all alone in my house last Thursday when they put Scotty into the final 3 instead of James. Happy!

(I don't know if this is the strongest final 3 we have seen...however...with the 4 that were around last week...I'm then happy with these 3...did I mention I miss Paul?)

#2...I really wanted Hailey to go home the first week or so...but I'm not going to lie (and I have been a Lauren fan since she sang with Steven in her city audition) but I am really leaning for Hailey to win it all. I have appreciated her a TON the past few weeks...she seems to have come into her skin on stage and her unique voice has totally grown on me...AND...I also appreciate that she picks songs that aren't so popular at this moment or well known and then knocks them out of the park despite what the judges may say...

Those are my thoughts....I'm sure I'll have something to say next week for the finale:)

Oh....and if you aren't watching The Voice you should...I LOVE it!

AND....Dance starts next week and I couldn't be more excited!

Elimination week 1

Bottom 3: Haley-Karen-Ashthon (I had 2 of the three right...with Karen as my standby-not bad)

Going home: Ashthon....no surprise here....I won't miss her.

I forgot about the save thing...they aren't saving her...there's a shock.

I won't be in town next week...I won't be able to watch....and I won't have access to the internet...so you are on your own, unless AJ or Jo-Dan want to fill in...it's up to you gallies!

Have a great weekend!

The top 13....2011

So....my DVR wasn't loving me last Thursday...or my son has gotten too smart and deletes my shows so I can't watch them and have to play with him:) Either way, I missed the show where the top 13 got picked....oh well. My favorites are in and some of the annoying ones are out, so I won't complain too much! :)

Songs by their personal idol.

Lauren (you all know I love her)...idol: Shania Twain. Any man of mine. Not my favorite of her performances....a little "yelly" and she sounds nervous for the first time. Still love her big voice. (and don't say thank you at the end of your performance). I agree with the judges...she's young, someone help her pick better songs.

Casey: idol: Joe Cocker. With a little help from my friends. Could be a good song for him. Oh boy...he's got the choir out on the first week. this kid's voice is great....I do like him a lot. Sorry sweet Lauren, but he just blew you out the water. Again....totally agree with the judges.

Ashton: She's lucky the judges got a pick....'cause I don't really like this girl all that much. Idol: Diana Ross...only 'cause the judges told her she is like Diana. When you tell me that you love me. Rough start girl....rough. Got a little better....but still don't like her.

Paul: Idol: Ryan Adams. Come Pick Me Up. I really like this kid...really like. I want him to do well. Again, not my favorite performance...dang it. Steven just said "Pitchy"....I agree....just funny. And Randy just name drops...silly Randy. Vote America Vote.

Pia is pretty: Idol: Celine Dion....risky girl...risky. All By Myself. First time ever that I will say that I am not booing at her picking a Celine song. This girl has got a voice on her and I loved it. Keep it up Pia....Keep it up! Jennifer's crying....Randy's putting her in the group with his "big 3 of girls"....Steven wishes he was 30 years younger:)

James (I really can't stand this kid): Idol: Paul McCartney. Maybe I'm Amazed. I really wish he wouldn't sing anything related to the Beatles...blech. Not his best beginning. Wasn't horrible...still don't like him. I know he has fans and ain't going anywhere...so I will just tolerate. Annoying dude...quit making the girls scream by raising your hands....that's just showing us you are full of yourself.

Haley. Idol: Leann Rimes. Blue. Did you have to wear a blue dress? She's about to start doing a hula dance....no I think she is doing one. It's Hawaiian Country. If you like the country thing, it's not bad...I don't really like the real country, country. These little girls need to learn not to say thank you at the end of the performances. Steve just said that if you listen carefully you can hear the rest of America roaring, then qualified it with "the country western part"....he knows. I may be with Randy on the boring side....she tried to liven it up with some hula dancing, give her a break. See? They just did their own luau comparison...

Jacob. Idol: R Kelly (really? your church voice is gonna sing a child molesters song? weird). I Believe I Can Fly. Okay....I can see that song by you. Did you borrow the earrings from R. Kelly too? Here comes another choir....kinda need one for this song....or maybe Jordan shootin' hoops. Okay...ending is too screamy.

Thia: Idol: Michael Jackson. Smile. She just called Charlie Chaplin...Chapman. She has no idea who he is....awesome. She has a pretty voice....I just don't know if I care all that much for her. Like the switch up to the faster beat. Fits her age better. Funny that the judges liked the beginning better.

Stefano. Idol: Stevie Wonder. Lately. I like this kid too. Do Washington proud kid...do us proud. I wish he was wearing his Seattle Sonics "robbed" shirt again. I'd never seen it till he wore it last Wednesday, then I saw it on a guy in Seattle this last weekend. I want one:) He's doing much better then he did last week....not nasally...good job kid. You got J-lo rockin' out.

Karen (really can't stand this girl...really). Idol: Selena. The only song I know from Selena. Rough start for her too. Boring. Judges not really lovin' it....good.

Scotty. Idol: Garth. The River. Here comes the country. Lean to the right Scotty...lean to the right. I swear, this kid sings 3 maybe 4 notes in every song...no range at all.

Naima. Idol: Rhiana. Umbrella. I love this song....should be interesting. Oh and dance moves. I like Holly Holiday and Will Schuster's version better. Oh wait....now the Jamaica twist....kinda fun. Seriously...she just did a little dance...did Paula choreograph that?

Hmmmm. I don't know. Am I losing my love for AI or is there just not that one person I want to hear sing that makes me look forward to this show. I'm not really screaming for one person. Tonight, my top pick is actually Casey then Pia. Other then that, they did good, I'm just not all geeked up about it all.

So who will be in the bottom and who is going home? I'll throw out: Ashton, Thia and Haley (maybe Jacob and Karen should be in there too).

Going home: Ashthon (please)

Alright...I'm not doing a "game" per se this year....just isn't going to work out for me...but I will do a finale party....so plan on that sometime in May (I'll figure out the date soon). Of course, you are welcome to leave me your thoughts and who you think should be going home.

top 24...the girls

On to the girls...

Ta-tynisa...I don't really know who she is...but her start to this song is B-A-D. She is not on the note at all...serious crap. She will not be in my top 5. Steven you be crazy on that review. Jennifer is crazy too...bring us back to reality Randy...thank you. "Being a performer is about moving the crowd and she moved the crowd"...so says the lip syncer j-lo (don't get me wrong, I love me some j-lo....just sayin').

Naima (these girls names are gonna kill me)...no one should sing this song after Fantasia did. She sounds like she belongs in a jazz club.

Kendra....don't know her either. Oh...she sang "Blackbird" with my boy and I didn't think she did that great. I didn't mind it....some of the higher notes were too screechy for me....but she had lots of control, so I'll give her that.

Rachel....cannot stand this girl...CANNOT stand. Is she on cabaret? This isn't helping me like her anymore. She's trying to be all that and sexy....but really she's nervous and awkward and it ain't good. Thank you Steven....too broadway...amen....and she's speechless. J-Lo has a lot of rings on....I'd like just one of them:)

Karen...I don't like her either. No she isn't....have we learned nothing over 10 years....no mariah, no celine....c'mon girls....oh....well, I guess if she sings it in spanish then it's ok:) If she goes back and forth between english and spanish will she only get have the hispanic votes (is that racist?...sorry if I offended....just pick one language, I don't care which, and stick with it).

Lauren....who? I didn't know her until she got put in to the top 24. How cute, a treble clef on her wrist...she must really be into music. I didn't mind her. Her voice is good....but whatever.

Ashthon....oh....her....she bugs. Do I like any of the girls? Don't like her outfit...yuck! What song is this? Nope...not for me.

Julie....I really like this girl...her dresses are awesome and she does great behind the piano. See? cute dress!:) Don't really like when they sing Kelly....and she isn't doing all that great....seems flat and dull. Too bad....she just doesn't have the range to sing this song....it's staying in the same 5 note range....not good. Well said Randy...well said (that's kinda weird to say).

Haley...I remember seeing her face a lot....but I don't remember her voice. Why do these little girls try to act sexy....it doesn't work. The beginning was an exact duplicate of Alicia's voice, the rest is just ok. Maybe if she wasn't trying so hard to be all sexy or whatever, I could have enjoyed her more.

Thia. She's young. starting all alone. brave. 15 years old. great voice. she was on America's got talent, so singing on a big stage in front of tons of people is nothing new for her.

Lauren. I LOVE this girl. 16. she better not fail me tonight like my boys did last night. She has the kind of voice I love....strong, powerful, in tune. Don't have a clue what that song is....but she did a great job!

Pia. I always got her and Julie confused. She is doing much better then Julie....much better. Wow...standing o by the judges. good job girl.

Okay....I'm fairly disappointed with the girls tonight and I think it's gonna be another boy's year...hmmmm.

the only 2 girls I care to get into the top 12 is Lauren and Pia...whatever to the rest of them.

Alright....that's all. Tomorrow we get to find out who are top 12 are. I will be on a plane during the show, so you will have to wait till friday to hear my thoughts, if you care :)

The top 24 perform....The boys

I am loving this year.....LOVING. I am completely satisfied with the new judges....J-Lo has not bugged even once...and Steven Tyler....well, let's just say that my previous love for him and all things aerosmith has only grown stronger...dude is crazy and hilarious all in a good and not annoying way (and I always want to sing "Steven Tyler pjs, steven tyler pjs). Ryan has even grown on me a bit....I don't care what anyone says about him (even Joel Mchale, whom I LOVE) he is VERY good at his job!

The contestants...I have been pleasantly surprised at the talent this year. I am disappointed at some of the people that were put through to the top 24....but I'm hoping America will weed out the crap and cocky attitudes and give us a great top 12. I have a few favorites, but I'm keeping those to myself for the time being.

And lastly...I really enjoyed Hollywood week....I liked the fact that they went to Vegas and sang Beatles song....I thought it was cool. I wished (just like every other year) that we could see more singing and less talking and repeating of the same things....but whatever...they show us what they want us to see so we will vote for who they want us to vote for....it's all rigged, but I don't care, 'cause I love it! OH....And I am loving that we are only taking 1 week to get to our top 12 instead of this business of knocking off 2 each week....I don't care however for the wild card picks by the judges...'cause they will put through the people America doesn't want and the producers do for good tv....blah!

On with the show! (they are on the big stage....not the little studio for the top 24)

Remember how it took 3 hours to get our top 24....LAME....let's move this a bit faster.

Clint...the karaoke funny glasses guy: Singing a very karaoke song. With the colors going and people all around him, it looks like American Bandstand.

Jovany...aka rico suave...don't like this guy. Pretty boring. Thank you Randy...Steven and Jennifer are gonna be super nice (which is fine)....as long as Randy keeps it real.

Jordan: Cockiest kid EVER on AI....I cannot stand him. I was SO made when they put him through. I can't believe he is singing this song....horrible...horrible....I am SO embarrassed for him. Talk about karaoke....I can hardly even stand to listen. Wow...that was B-A-D. Thank you for being honest Steven...and Jennifer...and Randy...please be the end of him. If it's not you why did you pick it?....lame excuses for a bad performance.

Tim: This guy is great! I really like when he plays the piano and I loved his Beatles performance. This wasn't my favorite performance of his, but ok....he just does best sittin' at the piano. Still really like him though.

Brett: This kid is interesting....I have liked some of his performances...but he is a bit strange. I am bit jealous of his hair tonight...somebody put some good mousse in it and it looks good. He has a good voice...but it's really soft and not that impressive. Okay....I like the hair too...but quit shaking it so much!

James: Of all the boys, this is the boy I cannot stand the most....he truly bugs me...he wants to be Adam Lambert and you all know how I feel about him. And ending with the screech....of course. Ok....it wasn't AS BAD as his previous performances....but I still don't like him. I know America will put him through...but I'm not putting him on my list.

Robbie: I like this kid....and his big nose :). He has a very nice voice...very nice...pleasant, if I may. I liked it....David didn't....I did. I think he's a super nice kid and it sounded great.

Scotty: I'm not really sure about him. He's just too country for me. His face bugs David...he tries too hard to be super country singer....he can only sing if he's tilted to the side and his mouth does the crooked thing. David says this song sounds like a Ruby River song....that made me giggle. He does have a nice voice...just not my cup of tea. He'll get the country vote.

Stefano....LOVE mr. Kent, Washington....please do me proud. He is so cute. He is sounding kinda nasally...don't do that. I still love him....little tweens....get to callin' for this boy! That almost last part was not good...dang it....why did you try so hard? Let's get him in the top 12 so he can do better. thanks judges for pushing him...."It's for all the ladies out there". So who's he dating????

Paul: I really, really like this guy...his voice is amazing!!!!! His "Blackbird" rendition last week was awesome! I love him!!! Really, I do....LOVE!!!!! So far....me and David's favorite!

Jacob: This guy is pure straight out the church choir crazy. I will give the kid the fact that he has a strong great voice....his personality is just a bit too over the top for me. Not sure if America wants to hear this every week. No crying on AI little Jacob....no crying. I'll give him Luther Vandross....I love that guy too....hook Jacob up with Linda Ronstadt and we could have a kickin' duet for finale night:)

Casey: I like this kid and his amazing instrument playing talent. His 2 performances with the bass were crazy good. His personality is so great! I thought he did great! I want him to make it so that he can amaze us each week with a different instrument.

My top 5 picks who I think should go through:

Tim

Robbie

Stefano

Paul

Casey

I'm sure that silly James will make it through too...plus, the judges get to pick one. But these are the boys I want to hear from each week. Oh let's be honest, all the people I don't want are going to make it....such is the story of my life.

what do you think?

American Idol 2011...

Did you watch it? Did you laugh? Do you love Steven Tyler and J-Lo?

Yes, Yes and Yes!

Here are my brief thoughts...

1. Steven Tyler is totally hilarious and I will totally enjoy him through out the show. He not only had me, my husband and my sister cracking up...but all those people in the audition room that you can't see, but can hear...I have loved him forever and his stint on AI (so far) will only make me love him more!

2. J-Lo. I am a fan of her music...well, the first few albums she put out...FAN. I like her movies. I liked her as a fly girl on In Living Color (oh you bet I watched that show). I was a bit concerned about her high maintenance-ness for AI, but I was surprised. She did not bug me in the least. Paula drove me crazy and I always wanted to punch Kara in the face...J-Lo, I 'll keep her (for now).

3. Randy is Randy...he's the same...but bugged me a bit less with these 2 by his side...so time will tell.

4. They let WAY too many people through. They haven't learned to say no yet...I think by the next few cities they will.

5...Favorite thing of the night...The girl with the flower dress that had the really annoying talking voice but sang fine...her age: 16 3/4 (yes, she put 3/4)...I about died...really? If you know who I am talking about...the whole 3/4 thing is even more awesome because she is totally the type of girl that would say she is 16 and 3/4.

Hope you enjoyed....should be a fun season!

Project Runway back peddling.

Are you watching?

Do you want to strangle Gretchen? I do.

I also want to smack her "little followers" across the face.

I was SO happy that the "losers" won the group competition.

The other team is SO full of themselves...good night...who do you think you all are? The funniest thing...Miss Gretchen was back peddling so badly...tears and all...man I can't stand that girl. Gretchen is wretched...wretched.

And even though Casanova is kinda annoying...I'm glad he won.

I'm totally bummed they didn't give her the boot...She just thinks so much of herself that I can't handle it!

Hallelujah...Tim totally just called Gretchen out...and I am SO proud of him for pointing out what we all already know...awesome...knock her down a few notches!

Can't wait for another week!

The finale...Dance season 7

That opening number was AWESOME.seriously.minus the freakin' tapper at the beginning that I can't stand! I'm not gonna lie...I almost go teary eyed when they wheeled out Alex...oh how I love him. Maybe it's a good thing he got hurt and is gone, 'cause I would be in a serious quandary over he and Kent.

I do love those judges...I do.I loved Mary Murphy, but I didn't even miss her.

I just want to see the best routines of the season...let's get on with that. Here we go...hurray!

Up first...Tyce's something or other with Kent and Neal...oh...the baseball one. I'd love to see the one these 2 danced about the friend stabbing the other in the back...that one was amazing.

Next up (Nigel)...one of Stacey's...oh...the homeless one...this one was crazy amazing...crazy. So glad we get to see this one again. chills...seriously...so amazing. She better get nominated for this one...

***shout out to Doogie in the audience***If you don't know my love for Mr. Neil Patrick Harris...then you need to spend a little more time with me:)

America's best dance crew: Quest with Ryan and Hawk...oh how I loved Hawk.

Mia's pick (I'm guessing the mom dance by Travis). Nope...just saw the suitcase...so it's the military one? Comfort and Adechike...not the military one....it's Fallen and it was GOOD. chills again...that girl is good. Can't stop watching that girl...just lovely.

How 'bout a romance montage. Fun! Courtesy back pat for the hug.

Kent and Anya...Love this one...LOVE...ok...LOVE Kent. I heard this song on the radio the other day...made me smile.

Oh...who picked the clown one? Tyce. didn't love this...mostly because Robert is in it...but I will agree with Tyce about America's favorite couple...NappyTabs...amen to that. This is the 2nd of their routines to be featured...and we know that the Alex/Twitch is also going to be featured...I'm guessing no other choreographers have had 3 of their routines featured in the finale. I do love Dom....oh do I?!;)

More of that Dance Day stuff.

Nigel doing some Tap...or not...who is this cute boy? Holy freakin' crap. I LOVE that kid! Probably should have had them come first...not after that little adorably amazing child.

Nigel already picked on...he is up again? Lauren and Pasha doing their argentine tango.

Adam's...ok...here's the momma one...Fix You. Allison is ridiculous...seriously...how amazing is this girl?!

Now we have to watch Russel (with LIl C though...that's cool). I still think Kathryn got robbed:) Ummm...Lil C...WAY better then Russel...He's crazy amazing.

Mary gets a pick. She picks Dom and Jose's routine. See? You didn't miss that scream did you?! This beginning is awesome...oh and this is also a Nappy Tabs...that would be 4 for the night.

UK's winner Charlie dancing with Neil...doing a Mandy Moore. Good thing he caught her, or she would have gone straight into the crowd. That was seriously fantastic...beautiful.

Finalists out on stage. Can you guess what routine he is doing...? And I'm thinking Nappy tabs has another dance coming up (based on Lauren's outfit)....SAH.WEET. Robert is off first....that just makes me happy...sorry....but he should have been gone long ago.

So it's down to my 2 favs...I think I will be happy and sad when the winner is announced.

Adam again. see? another nappy tabs...awesome. This girl is 18...she is still in High School. She is just ridiculous. I'm like Mia...I want to dance like her.

Kat is even picking...and this one is SO great...Alex rocks! I don't want this season to be over...seriously...I'm getting a little sad about it...really...I want to watch this type of stuff every week.

Stacy picks...she picks the bollywood? FF

Mia picks my friend stabbing friend in back...AWE.SOME. I am SO glad she picked this one...SO GLAD! WOW.

Black Gold Singing "Shine"...The face behind the loser's song.

Do we finally get to see who the secret dancer is...with all this hype it better be good:) Here we go...almost more excited to see who this is before finding out who the winner is. Are you kiddin' me....that was awesome...awesome...awesome...I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. What a way to end the show...good job good job!

I'm so nervous...I just don't want either of them to be a loser...makes me SO sad. My cousin's husband is here "working"...I told him that I just want them to tie...and he added "hug kiss and get married"....that would be the most wonderful thing ever!

Let's not end it...let's just keep going.

And the winner is...

Lauren

Ok...I am a little sad...I do love her...but I LOVE Kent.

It has been a good season...I have loved every week. By far the best season ever...fantastic choreography. AMAZING dancers. and best of all...the all-stars...made this season AWE.SOME!

here are your points:

TT: 20

JMorris: 128

TT: 108

Nana T: 89

Jo-Dan: 84

Jayhawk: 5

Unguren: 5

Congrats Jamie...way to come in the end and steal it away. It's a good thing...'cause I would hate to win my own game:)

Dance...Season 7....Finale...performance night

Your top 3: Kent.Lauren.Robert (could care less about him:)

They are going to dance 4 dances AND a solo...that's a lot of routines to remember:)

This little flash back is making me excited for tomorrow night and watching all the fav dances of the season....I think this season has had some of the best routines ever.

Kent and Lauren (all-star) bollywood...we have seen a LOT of this, this season. I LIKED it...and I don't always...but he is so freakin' cute and that was a great routine.

Lauren and Twitch doing nappytabs (how I just smile when I see them sitting with the choreographers and I know one of their routines is coming soon). AWE.SOME.

Robert and Mark doing jazz. Mark is better then Robert. I don't like really like that song. Here the judges go pushing Robert again. No he didn't.

the interview with Kent. He is just so cute. I Love him. I should vote. I won't. but I should.

Kent solo. Not his best. oh well. shirt open for the girls.

Robert and Lauren contemporary. That was a cool routine. pretty. nice work choreographer.

Lauren and Kent jazz (wow...I hope it is a slow routine...poor girl). First we have "whip it" and now "it's hip to be square"...not really sure about that. Kinda lame...cheesy basic jazz routine. I agree...there was NO challenge. I feel bad for Mandy Moore. I'm impressed that Kent gave Mandy props, since the judges were (not so blatantly) slamming her crappy choreography.

Robert interview and solo. I feel like he does that same thing for every solo. At least Kent tried to change it up...even if it wasn't his best.

Kent and Allison choreography (I like Stacy's routine and I love watching allison dance). GOOD JOB KENT. Did you see the emotion on his face...THAT was crazy good. Kent is in a deep place and Nigel's jokes are going over well. Glad Mia noticed...he is still in that place. The judges just want to all go hug him right now...I kinda do to. "It's like a break through in therapy". Yeah for Kent.

Lauren interview and solo. Can't they just have a tie between her and Kent. and then she goes and picks a Mary J. song...if you know me you know I love me some Mary J. and THAT was a great solo...good job girl.

Robert and Kathryn doing broadway. Ok...so I really did like that...but I'll be honest...I watched Kathryn the whole time.

Lauren and Pasha cha cha. She is one sexy little chicka. Big props from Mia.

Kent and Robert doing...I don't know how to spell it. Ahhh...Malevos (thank you for spelling it for me). A little Matrix move in there. Kinda an anti-clamatic ending...but ok routine.

That's it...the dancing is done...the voting begins.

Let's make the points worth something:)

List how the order will go. 1st.2nd.third. 20 points for each spot correct. Bonus 50 if you get it all right. That's a total of 110 points possible..it's anybody's game! Good luck!

Our final 3 is set...

How come it was just all-stars in the opening number? I'm not complaining...just wondering.

More National Dance Day stuff.

Some chic I have no idea who she is. I think maybe I have heard this song...but I don't need to hear it again...and she brought her own dancers...didn't someone tell her she didn't need to do that.

Some solos...guess we can drag out the kick off to the end since the judges have no part of all this.

Kent solo...and then a hilarious moment with Kent (oh I hope he wins). Guessing they are putting Kent and Lauren through first since they already did their solos...Yep...Lauren is in there first. It sucks that they can't have a boy and girl winner and she and Kent can share the title.

The other guys solos...who's in next???? If they don't leave it to Adechike and Robert...then there isn't any guessing...and they don't...Kent's in...no sighs needed...this boy is A.mazing!

I don't enjoy just one person dancing...he's great and all...but I need at least 2 on the floor.

I didn't realize that Josh was in step up 3D...for that reason alone, I may need to go see it...anyone want to join me? I'm being totally serious here. Jo-dan?

I'm only watching Flo Rider 'cause my all-stars be dancin'. I love me some all-stars.

And your final dancer in the top 3...Robert. I'm still kinda bummed about it. He was in the bottom more often then not...it's because those dang judges kept pushing Robert...annoying.

Well...everyone gets 10 points since we all knew poor Adechike would be leaving us. Can't wait to see next week's show...especially who will be filling in for Alex in the Twitch hip hop number.

Till then...

Top 4.

Lauren.Adechike.Robert.Kent.

I'm rooting for Lauren and Kent. I would be totally fine with Adechike as the third, but only because I can't stand Robert. What were your top 4 picks? I know we didn't officially say...but did you have an idea? I listed Alex, Kent, Lauren, Jose and Alexie as my original favs. I still stand by Alex and think he would be in the final 3 with Kent and Lauren....dang knee.

First up...a group routine by Tyce. There have been some AWESOME final 4 routines on this show. THIS was NOT one of them...Bor.ing!

Want to see some good ones:

Season 2:

season 4

Season 5 (It's best if you pause it and let it fully load before watching)

Lauren and Pasha dance an Argentine Tango. Kinda feeling like this is going to be a ho-hum night...too bad. let's ditch all the ballroom and get some pumped up numbers going.
Adechike and Lauren (the all-star) doing African-jazz. That was a bit more upbeat...but I watched her more...she totally out-danced him. Wow...judges didn't love it...
***I just saw the most awesome movie trailer ever..."Vampires Suck"...now this is a vampire movie I might pay to go see*** (I'm kidding...only about the seeing this one...won't see the other ones either).
Robert and Anya doing a viennese waltz. Anya is beautiful. I don't care for Robert. I liked Channing...makes me sad that she is such good friends with Robert.
Kent and Courtney doing a disco (what the crap....4 sucky dances in a row). He looks kinda like a cheerleader when he does the arm pump things...and it makes me giggle. Not as fast paced as other disco routines...but the spinning of Courtney above his head...going super fast...a bit scary.
Lauren with Ade doing jazz. Have I ever mentioned I LOVE Ade?! So help me America...you better get to votin' for this girl, 'cause if she gets the boot and Robert is in the finale I will be pissed. She is amazing!
Adechike and my girl Katherine doing ???? I'm still not sure. and I don't feel like he did any dancing till the end of the routine....I'm not really sure what that was even about...and I listened the choreographers story?! Kind of feel like the judges are saying good bye to him...let's remind them that they have bagged on him all season and America keeps voting for him...just sayin'.
Robert and Dominic doing hip hop with Nappytabs (sure...he gets the hip hop routine). Cool routine...Dominic is just so much more effortless in his movements. I love Dominic...he makes me laugh and smile. Bull Adam...he did NOT outdance Dom...Pah.lease.
Hmmm....do you think the judges want Robert in the finale?
Kent and Neil doing a contemporary with Travis. I will say this...Travis really tells amazing stories through his choreography...stories that you can really watch unfold. Wow. I could watch those 2 boys dance ALL NIGHT...love it! Some people go to therapy to work through issues...Travis choreographs...and I am so glad. Tyce cracks me up too! And Mia cries and Adam starts to lose it...
Alrighty...next week is the finale...who will be our final 3? Leave a comment with who is going home...10 points for the right person!
Good luck!

Big Brother rules...

I just watched the veto show and the kick-off show and I just need to scream from the top of the mountain...I LOVE THIS SHOW! Seriously contestants...watch previous show...learn how the show always works...don't use pawns...if you want some one to go home...PUT THEM ON THE BLOCK!

Brenden and Rachel BUG...they are both such whiney babies...but they are here to stay...boy can those 2 compete.

Matt is a tool...cocky as all get out...and I'm glad his wife is disappointed in his lie about her non-existent illness.

Enzo, Lane and Brittany...hilarious....they crack me up. Ragan does too.

Hayden...just love this kid...and poor Kristen...got no tv time the first 2 weeks and now because of "Captain Kosher" she is in serious trouble. Can't say that I was sad to see him go...best "exit" speech ever!

What is going to annoy me about this next week. Hayden and Kristen are going to LIE about their relationship when they should just come clean and move on. Rachel is going to be out to get Kristen for no other reason then she be stealin' Rachel's "I've got a showmance" thunder...No one will be shocked when she puts those 2 up. BLAH!

the dancing and the results...

I'm just finishing up Wednesday night's dancing and I just need to say...this year we have seen the best dancers ever. We had had terrific dancers over the year...but this year...there are SO many good dancers...and sadly, one of the best (Alex) was sent home early. And then there is a choreography...it's been crazy amazing.

I LOVED the contemporary routine between Billy and Ade (one of my fav males of all times)...one of the best routines EVER on the show. The routine with Robert and Kathryn was fantastic...but only because I LOVE Kathryn (not Robert so much). Lauren and Kent still are my 2 favs...just LOVE LOVE LOVE them! That Balliwood routine...just showed my how freakin' annoying Robert is...he is too over the top and I can't stand him.

Now that I have seen the whole show...I probably should have put Adechike in the bottom instead of Billy, but oh well.

Just started the kick off show...Allison is dancing...no Lauren...not a good sign. See...another injury...what the crap?! By the way...that first routine was AWESOME!

My mouth just opened as big as Robert's...why the crap is Lauren in the bottom???? I am SO pissed.

Bottom 3:

Jose

Billy

Lauren

Going home: Jose and Billy

That's no surprise...but I'm sad to see them go...Billy is amazing and Jose is as sweet as they come! Step it up America...there are only 4 contestants left and Robert has GOT TO GO.

Can I add...dance ability wise...how did Adechike make it farther then Billy. America be hatin' on a tremendous dancer...

Points:

TT: 30 (2 of 3 correct and both go home correct)

Nana T: 30 (same same)

I'm no doing very good a this...

Leave your votes from Last night's show...

Bottom 3 and 2 going home...good luck!

dance...and it stays the same!

LOVED last night's show...LOVED!

Bottom 3:

Billy

Robert

Jose

***hurray...I got it all right!***

Ohhhh...LAME...no one goes home....Billy has gotten ONE too many chances!

Whatever...here are your points...the 3 of us that voted get 10 points for getting the bottom 3 right. No points for the go home 'cause no one is going home...next week...2 people.

leave your guesses...

I haven't had a chance to watch the dancing....so leave your bottom 3 and who is going home....

Thanks...

Another dancer bites the dust...literally

Opening number...LOVE when the all-stars dance...just love them.

So I guess the number I missed last night was Robert doing disco...I am SO glad I missed that. My least fav guy doing the worst dance...no thank you!

They keep talking about Ashley...but we haven't even seen her in the crowd, last night or tonight.

Kinda tired of hearing about dance day...just sayin'.

Not happy to see Lauren and Kent out together...they better both be safe...they are my FAVORITES!!! I'm so glad I get to hear the judges comments after his contemporary routine...I LOVE that they gave him such high praise...he just dances so beautifully and effortlessly. Have I mentioned I LOVE him! HURRAY!!!! It knew it couldn't be either of them!

And some little kids dance. I can't take any more...I'm fast forwarding!

Billy and Adechike are up against each other...there go my points. I'm mad I didn't see Robert's disco, 'cause I would have maybe put Robert in the bottom instead of one of these two...so who's in the bottom? Billy....I'm telling you, America just ain't feeling him...but they are loving Adechike.

Robert and Jose...this shouldn't be hard to guess...Doesn't America LOVE Jose and get bugged by Robert like I do...I think so. Again...I am fully bugged...I just don't think he is genuine at all and that really bothers me...are you kidding me??? He's safe? I am SUPER angry about that...whatever...so help me if they send Jose home I will be SO freakin' mad. That broadway routine was the first one that they didn't give him praise for....America what are you thinking?

More people dancing...more fast forwarding.

yeah...twitch and comfort...doing a Dave Scott hip hop...Yeah...no fast fowarding here. So good...so freakin' good! She looks SO much better then she did originally...and I think she has even gotten better at hip hop!

The solos...kinda felt like Billy did a lot of standing...hmmmm. Jose better bring out some cool tricks. Pah.retty good!

Oh...a TV debut...Kristina Perry singing Jar of Hearts. That was SUPER Fantastic...GREAT song...What a GREAT story for Kristina...and really...Allison is the best dancer ever...i could watch her again and again.

And the dancer leaving (hey, Ashley is finally showing her face) is...Ashley's doctors say she can't dance for 3-5 weeks so she is leaving. I'm really not sad about this. Although, I think it is AWESOME that Lauren is the only girl left...lots more boy/boy routines. Dang it...I should have guessed it...would have gotten more points:(

so who gets hurt next and sent home....c'mon kids. On a happier note...Billy has skated by again this week because of an injury:)

Here are your points:

TT: 5

Jamie: 5

Hildamae: 10 (nice call on Jose...although I hate that you were right)

NanaT: 13 (she put Ashley going home...smarty pants)

Jo-dan: 15 (you too smarty:)

Big brother's first eviction.

Who is the saboteur? Who will go home...ohhh...I can hardly stand it:)

Brenden and Rachel are full on together...how funny...9 days in and he kisses her on the forehead to comfort her...'course you all know what is happening "off" camera.

The "Brigade" is annoying...Enzo is the Worst! Brenden is kinda a big wussy! I'm not even sure who I should root for.

and the saboteur is....Annie...no surprise...but awesome that she is on the block the first week.

Do you know who we NEVER see or Hear from...the blond chick that sometimes has curly hair and sometimes not...who I think is friends with Hayden outside the house.

Annie's speech was kind of a wowza. If you didn't want Brenden on your side that is the way to do it!

and the voting begins...everyone gets Annie out. Remember in my first post how I said they always talk about this big bomb they will drop and it turns out to be nothing...here it is again...great idea...done the first week...Lame. Funny that they aren't gonna tell the houseguests...I think they should, so they can be proud they made the right decision in the eviction.

HOH competition...Brenden is out in the first round...and the "brigade" is out in the second round. And Rachel wins...that's not good for you little "brigade"...not good at all!

Oh...they are gonna tell them on Sunday about Annie...awesome!

See you Sunday....

and then there were 7...sort of.

This year's theme should have been "last uninjured dancer standing wins"...now poor Ashley did something to her ribs. My guess is, she will be back next week just fine...of course, I could really care less about her...so whatever. I am glad she is out for another reason...hiphop routine with Jose and Dominick...nice!

First up Lauren doing a tahitian dance...first time on SYTYCD...all I can say is HOT.HOT.HOT. Maybe if I could learn to shake my hips that way they would get a wee bit smaller:) I love how the majority of her booty shakin' is turned towards the crowds. Girl rocked that dance. It is pretty amazing that she moved her body the way that girls practice for years...I LOVED it!

Adechike doing Salsa with poor Anya who has to do 2 dances tonight. I'm not sure if Anya's grimmace is because she is struggling or fearing for her life with the lifts and such Adechike is doing. It looked a bit rough to me. Nigel is praising...but the things he is praising are more on Anya's side. Interesting...every week they bag on Adechike and I get so mad, but this week they are giving him more positive and I didn't really like it...oh well!

Jose doing Broadway. I'm usually not a fan of the broadway pieces...but Jose was A.mazing. He totally danced like a broadway dancer and I totally need to BOO Nigel. I thought he did great! Boo hiss...Nigel. I feel a little bad for the choreographer. Wow...after listening to the judges I feel like I should erase my comments and start over...oh well...I really, really liked it!

Robert doing contemporary. Maybe a little similar to the cancer routine from last year. Do you love how Robert is even dressed like Travis?! That was a phenomenal routine...I just wish that Robert hadn't danced it. And the judges are crying...and Robert is pulling out the fake tears. I actually watched Allison the whole time...she is amazing...and you can tell she felt it...I don't but it from him...sorry...don't like him. Ok...mia is makin' this hard for me even...good night people...why couldn't another guy dance this.?

Billy doing jive. I think this may be Billy's last week. The judges have been hard on him all season...and America doesn't seem to love him either. It was fine for me. Here we go again...the judges trash him every week when I like him and now they are praising and I'm fairly ho hum.

Kent doing Broadway (with a boy:). I bet they had some good fun in practice...just sayin. Cute. Mostly because I LOVE these 2 boys...and so do the tweens! Yeah for praise for Kent!!! I'm with Mia...I LOVE boys too! Hurray!

Lauren and Billy doing jazz. Love this song. Lauren is freakin' adorable...I just love her. She has the cutest personality and it totally came flying out here...Billy did great too! yeah for good comments from the judges too! Hurray for a great routine...so fun!

Jose doing a Nappytabs (second boy/boy routine for them...but this time they ain't workin' with a ballet dancer...can Jose do better then sweet Alex who I am missing so terribly tonight?) I love Dominic. And I am loving that they have Legacy and some other guy there too. Ok...that was pah.retty cool to see a choreographed b-boy routine...I will say (and I love Jose) Dom's a better breaker/dancer. The beginning was Awe.some...my favorite part of the whole routine. I really liked it a lot...very cool to see..however...I liked the Alex routine better...totally different I know...but better...this was great though...don't get me wrong. Kinda interesting to think...we expect the breakers to do every type of dance but never have the contemporary dancers pull a break dance card...maybe we should. (and we will ignore the whole dominic running off the stage with the "sword" that the judges made a huge deal about like a bunch of 5th graders).

Kent and Adechike doing contemporary. Mia's gonna have her "I love boys" for the hrid time tonight. My tv just went dark in the middle of this routine and I am about to CRY because I was LOVING it. Kent is the best dancer...ever....I just love this kid and I am about so sad that it cut out. I could care less to see Robert's routine with whoever he ended up dancing with...dang it. Ahhh man...I really wanted to hear what the judges said...someone fill me in:)

Alright...I guess that's all I get...boo.

Remember...Ashley WILL BE in the bottom 3...so just give your bottom 2 and who is going home!
