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
Carol: 0
Jo-Dan: 20
JMorris: 110 (way to go girl)
Hildamae: 20

Final standings (and our winner is):

JMorris: 128
TT: 108
Nana T: 89
Jo-Dan: 84
Hildamae: 70
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!

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!


Thursday, July 22, 2010

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:)

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

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!

Thursday, July 8, 2010

Who goes home???

LOVED the opening number...no surprise it was a Mia...beautiful!


Some Emmy talk
Stacey Tucci, Mia and the make-team all got Emmy nods. Check out Chelsea Hightower getting an Emmy nod for her choreography on Dancing with the stars.

Glee got 19...not that shocking really...how I LOVE that show!

First 2...Billy and Lauren..I'm thinking both safe. Billy is in the bottom 2...I'm a little surprised...will it be Billy and Robert again? Lauren's sitting there and she better be fairly confident that she is safe....and she is.

and the rest...Kent...those tweens aren't gonna let him go anywhere...I wouldn't either. Watching the play back it just makes me think of J. Timberlake all over again. Jose's next...America loves him too....see? told you! Robert's next...dang it...I hope he's in the bottom...he just bugs. Dang it...that makes me mad...those stupid judges praising him is completely unfair. Which means Adechike is in the bottom and probably going home and it makes me made because the judges just bash and bash and bash him every week....favoritism? Yeah...I think so. WHAT???? Ok...now that is a shocker. And I REALLY appreciate that Mia is apologizing to Adechike...maybe America felt bad for the bashing he got and hyped up the votes for him..I'm glad. Wow...that's a long paragraph...guessing Billy's hittin' the road and I get no points...dang it:(

Anya and Pasha...ok...they are hot together. She is amazing. He ain't so bad either:)

Wouldn't it be crazy if Ashley went and Lauren was the only girl left? America be hatin' on the girls this year.

Billy's solo vs. Ashley's solo: I actually liked Billy's better.

Natasha Bedingfield...I like her...and any chance to see my all-stars dance I'm great with! THAT.WAS.AWESOME! I bet they just love dancing with someone singing...I would love it...they all just looked so happy. This season is really boosting their resumes.

Alrighty...who's going home...Ashley's already crying. The MRI results are in and they if they are announcing them live is he going home? Yep...he's going home...that SUCKS!!!!! I am totally bummed about this. He deserved to be on years ago when he couldn't get out of his contract...now he finally gets on and this happens....so crappy! Every dance he has done has been amazing. I think I heard Nigel say he could be on next year...he better be! Such a crappy crappy situation.

I'm a sad girl....not even sure how to do points...I'll give you the points for the bottom 3 correct...I'm just bummed...(tears)

TT: 3
Jamie: 3
Jo-Dan: 3
NanaT: 3

Wednesday, July 7, 2010

Only 8 left...

5 boys...2 girls...that's kinda crazy!

Oh...and it sucks for the guy all-stars....oh....and tonight they are going to dance with an all-star and then with each other.

Do you want your points from last week 'cause I'm a little bit of a slacker on that.
Hildamae: 15
TT: 15
NanaT: 15
Jo-Dan: 15

Back to tonight's show!

Alex...is injured...not gonna get to perform...total bummer because he is my favorite...I mean, I watched the hip hop routine from last week so many times...he was A.mazing.

It's kinda fun to see the contestants off stage talking to the camera 'cause it makes me like a few of them more...like Billy diming out Jose's love of Lauren's booty....of course, it doesn't help me like the likes of Robert out anymore...cause he BUGS!

Lauren and Pasha doing a Cha-Cha...I'm not gonna lie...that was HOT. I am pretty sure Mary would be pulling out the hot tamale train. yeah for the judges to finally praise her.

Jose and Lauren (the all-star) doing contemporary. Love this song. I'm not sure if he did much more then carry her around...he did it well...I think he did great...maybe it's just because I couldn't stop watching her. It was great...just more lifts then dancing in my opinion...but I really like him, so I am okay with that. AND...may I say AMEN to Nigel.

Kent and Comfort doing hip hop....oh dear, I really he pulls this off 'cause I LOVE this kid. Ok...I LOVED it...parts I dare say were Justin Timberlake 'esk (Kat just stole my line). Thank you Nigel for saying he didn't over act it...this routine was so great...he totally looked cool...man do I LOVE this kid. Oh the tweens love him. Mia, you can't compare him to Dave Scott..c'mon. Just had to rewind and watch again...man, he's just so great:)

Adechike and Kourtney doing jazz. Not as hot as the cha cha...AND...I remembered why I didn't like Kourtney her year...the faces she makes when she dances...bugs. The dance was okay for me. I appreciate Mia's comments...maybe not as bad as she feels about it...but not great like Nigel...maybe somewhere in the middle with Adam...but less blah blah blah.

Billy and ????....(not Allison)...Katie...love her...remember...we didn't like her...then did...oh, and they are doing broadway. Hmmm. I liked the routine...I'm not sure America is going to vote for him...the judges sure like him tonight. I'll be honest, I watched Katie more then him. Still don't think he's got the personality that brings in the votes.

Ashley and Dom doing a nappytabs hip hop. I was gonna say good idea to cover her face, but then she took the kerchief off. Actually, I think she totally pulled that off...I am very proud of her (and I don't even really like her that much). Mia has her own inside jokes going on.

Robert and Katherine doing Jazz (kinda annoyed because I LOVE her and not him so much). That routine was perfect for his cheesyness. I can't say I liked it, because I can't stand him. Nigel is talking about "arrogance"...I agree with Nigel, I don't see it at all...however, it's his cheesyness...people can't stand his personality...and he will remain in the bottom till the judges realize America doesn't want him to win.

Not Alex and Adechike doing Bollywood. Ok.....how many jumps did he just do. I actually thought he did that VERY well. He's not one of my favs...but I liked that dance on him. This kid can't win...didn't put your personality in it...now you put too much of your own personality in it...I feel a little bad for him. His poor face breaks my heart as they bash on him each time. THANK YOU Kat for sticking up for Adechike and pointing out the Jose thing...way to go girl. Really can't win can he? I'd vote for him just because of all this...if only I weren't watching it too late.

Kent and lauren doing contemporary. I can't dislike this...'cause I love them both. How great was that. I pretty much love anything Travis does...so the 2 of them on this was fantastic for me. I'm just so glad the judges liked it...

Ashley and Robert doing the quickstep....oh this will not be good for me. My 2 least fav dancers doing my LEAST fav dance. It'll for sure be the kiss of death for Robert. See? both annoying. I'll be honest, it's not even over and I have kinda quit watching.

Billy and Jose doing African Jazz. Jose just said superfast. If you know my child...he will never run anywhere unless he charges his arms up and yells "superfast". Aside from the music, costumes and storyline...I don't see how this is African Jazz. Looked like a jazz routine set to African music...does that make if African Jazz? This is the first routine I haven't loved Jose in.


Alrighty...tell me what you think and who your bottom 3 are and who is headed home! Make sure you put Alex in the bottom...free 3 points for all!

Week 3...the dancing...not really


My cable went out...angry is what I am! Luckily, my neighbor recorded it for me (well, her son was going to, so here's hoping) so I will watch it tomorrow....BUT....I wanted to get a post up so you all could leave your votes. And hey...even if you missed voting last week...join back in 'cause it won't take much for you to catch up:)

Week 2 results...

So...it's 10:13pm and I am just watching. (guess nana T and I are the only ones who want votes)...My neighbor stopped by an hour ago and asked if I had watched yet...I told her I hadn't and to not talk about it...the look on her face was not good. I'm worried one of my favs will get the boot...unless she likes someone I totally don't...should be interesting...


On with the show:
Guessing that's a sonja routine? (can I have Cat's body?)...yep, a Sonja:)

If you want to learn your first NappyTabs routine...go here

1st group: Kent.Adechike.Cristina
Kent: safe (phew)
Adechike: safe (on the replay...Allison is a seriously beautiful dancer...she's from Orem)
Cristina: bottom 3 (phew...thank you America)

***Adam has a rant about the judges being judged on being to harsh last night. I don't think they were too harsh...just harsh on the wrong people. Ok...and calling out Travis on his Non-jazz jazz routine was pretty lame***

2nd group: Alex.Ashley.Melinda.Jose (funny how easy it is to remember their names when there were only 11 to start)...what is Melinda wearing?
Alex: (ok...harsh on him in the replay...he was amazing) SAFE (HURRAY)
Jose: (what a great kid) SAFE...yeah again!
Ashley or Melinda...better be Melinda: I Loved Ashley's routine with Mark...it was great. Still wish I could have seen this dance with Ade and Kathryn. America gets it right again!

***So I am a bit concerned that Lauren may be the other one and she may get sent home...that would be sad. Or maybe my neighbor likes Melinda or Cristina...in that case I may have to reconsider my friendship with her:)***

3rd group: Lauren.Billy.Robert (please be Robert...PLEASE)
Lauren: (I really did love this routine...I thought she did SO great) BIG PHEW...Yeah yeah yeah!
***pretty sure the judges are dying that one of "their boys" is going to be in the bottom. I still disagree with the judges on Billy...I thought it was great.***
Robert or Billy: Good Call AMERICA....GOOD CALL! Hollah back ya'll I got all three of the bottom right. See there judges...you didn't have a clue about what you were talking about! Oh...do you know what made people not vote for Robert...that stupid fake throwing up thing...

Here comes Ryan and his crazy popping or whatever you want to call it's amazingness. So here they are...Ryan and his crew. His friends...about as amazing...just awesome! Seriously...so freakin' cool!!!!

Cristina's up first.hmmm.whatever
Melinda.I can't take her seriously with those pants.
Robert.sometimes I just feel like the contemporary dancers just throw themselves around.lack of good choreography equals spazzy dancing.

I have NO IDEA who the judges are gonna send home...could they possible send Robert home...I won't get points, but I might be okay with that...as long as Melinda and Cristina are short to follow.

Debbie who? Debbie Nova...I just want to see the all-stars dance. Check out comfort looking all like a real dancer and not just a hip hop gally. She's about the littlest thing ever.

Alright...here ya go: Not unanimous...that's because Nigel always fights for the tappers...Robert's safe...dang it...but I am okay...Oh...Nigel didn't fight for the tapper...poor Cristina has to go...guess I will keep my go home vote the same for next week. America don't like you tapper so don't unpack the bags yet!

Well...here are me and NanaT's points:
TT: 10
NanaT: 3

Dance...week 2...the dancing

Lovin' that they draw an all-star to see who and what they are dancing.


Cristina's up first...paso with Pasha. It was good. Parts she did really well (but she should, since she knows the whole partnering thing) and a few times it was just okay for me. Judges are loving it...but I will admit I'm not a hugh Cristina fan so you know..whatever. Hey...what's up with Pasha standing there...guess they are going to give better props to the all-stars this week.

Adechike...contemporary with Allison. Mandy Moore picks the greatest songs. Okay..so he is a great dancer, unfortunately, I can't stop watching her. The smile on her face is so real and genuine and you can see that he keeps saying to himself "smile"... "look loving"...see? Mia gets it.

Alex...broadway with Lauren . Ok...REALLY liked that. Again, it's hard to not to just watch her...but he did pretty fantastic. Funny how they praised the crap out of Cristina and I was kinda ho hum and this one they are like...yeah...it was fine, but you need to blah blah blah and I was like Wow ....loved it! I like this Alex kid!

Ashley...jazz with Mark. Oh my freakin' goodness I LOVED that. Travis might just be my new favorite choreographer...that was great routine. Oh brother Nigel...it was a dance..who cares if it is jazz or contemporary. Travis doesn't need to be reprimanded on air...seriously, it was such a great routine and I just loved it. she is a terrific dancer...not my fav girl in personality...but I think she will grow on me...her body is pretty amazing.

Billy...Krump wih Comfort...oh boy...this could be disastrous. An aptly named song "so you think you can krump". Not gonna lie...he TOTALLY pulled that off for me. Even looked angry a few times. Even after listening to the judges...still not gonna change my opinion of the dance. I just watched it and enjoyed it. Guess I don't know enough about Krump to give it a true critique....

Robert....argentine Tango with Anya. Anya is amazing...I just love her. This is one of those dances where it is to his benefit that he is dancing with an all-star 'cause you can't stop watching her and she makes him look good. I don't know how you judge him 'cause she seemed to do every thing. TOTALLY agree with Mia...Anya did devour him. He is SO FREAKIN' weird...really? fake throwing up...what?! America please don't vote for him.

Melinda...contemporary with Ade. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ade...I do not feel the same way about Melinda. I want to see that danced with Ade and Kathryn...just sayin. I think she is so stiff. I'm kinda disappointed the judges are praising her. I'm seriously on opposite sides of the judging pool tonight.

Jose...bollywood with my girl Kathryn. SHE IS AMAZING...LOVE HER. He did fantastic! I'm really proud of him...and Kat totally cracks me up. So what...he's miss congeniality. How was it totally wrong...I really enjoyed it!

Lauren...lyrical hiphop with cutie pie Dominic. New choreographer...we'll see how she matches up with the likes of NappyTabs and Shane Sparks. Do you remember the lyrical hip hop by Shane Sparks that Dominic and Sabra did? (go here) Dominic is so great at this stuff.****Wow. I have chills on my arms and legs. Oh my goodness. That was seriously amazing...I will be watching it again. AWESOME choreography. Judges...really? I'm glad that Adam recognizes that Lauren is having a moment and feeling VERY proud of herself...as she should:)(do you see Dominic's hand on Kat while Lauren is having a moment).

Kent...jazz with Kourtney. This kid cracks me up. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this kid and how great he is. SO gets into character and does such a fantastic job. He is so funny...I really think he is my absolute favorite kid. Wow...how am I so on a different page then the judges. I thought he did such a great job and I am SO mad they are saying this. I totally think he was right on par with her and i am so mad at what they are saying. Boo judges Boo! And by the way...Nigel totally just slammed Travis again with a comment about how Tyce's routine was a jazz routine...not cool Nigel, not cool.

Now I am so confused about who to pick because everything I loved the judges did not...what will America think????? What do you think? Leave your bottom 3 and who is going home.

Dance...week 1...results

Bottom 3:

Melinda
Alexie
Cristina

Melinda is up first with her solo...have I mentioned she bugs me...I think maybe I have...her solo doesn't help that.

Alexie...not that impressive...which is sad 'cause I really like her.

Cristina solo...she is definitely not one of my favorites...but she did a good job.

***I'm a bit concerned about Alexie's safety based on her solo...she may be in trouble.

Whole bunch o' Usher crap....

Going Home: Dang it...I knew it...she shot herself in the foot with her solo tonight...I am totally bummed to see Alexie go....I actually really liked her dance with Twitch...totally bummed.

Here are your points: (bottom 3: 3 for 1, 5 for 2, 10 for 3...10 for correct go home)

TT: 5 (just realized that I didn't put who I thought was going home...nice, my guess was Melinda so it didn't matter anyway:)
JMorris: 0
Jayhawk: 5
Unguren: 5
Nana T: 5

Dance...week 1

After a FANTASTIC showing last week, I have high hopes for this season...let's hope they don't disappoint...



My current favs:
Alex
Jose (sort of)
Lauren (LOVE her...hoping her personality isn't annoying)
Kent (LOVE him)
Alexie

Let the games begin:

Billy and Lauren (Broadway with Tyce): He's good....she's good....they did really good. It's weird to only have one of them be a contestant. Nigel just said something I hadn't really thought about...chemistry between the partnerships...it is going to be interesting since they are switching it up every week...could really hurt some of these kids. WOW those judges had a lot to say to him...I think they are going to judge him harder then others....just sayin'

Cristina and Mark (Jazz with Sonja) I love Mark and Sonja's dances...I don't really like Cristina all that much. Mark's amazing...Cristina actually did pretty well for a latin dancer...can't hate her as much this week...she just looked sucky next to Anya last week.

***On a side note....I was concerned I would miss Mary and her screaming...I DON'T...LOVE LOVE LOVE Mia at judges table.

Jose and Comfort (hip hop with Nappytabs...hollah)...how did he get that lucky for his first week of competition? Comfort was painful to watch in other genres the season she was on...but man can this girl dance in her genre...and this was FANTASTIC!

Adechike and Kathryn (my favorite girl ever...) with jazz and Travis. Hmmmm...I'm kinda disappointed here...didn't really showcase his amazing dancing...more just showed off Kathryn. Here we go on that chemistry thing...this all star thing may hurt them. I agree with the judges...he needed to do a whole lot more...but let's be honest, doesn't matter what he was doing...I be watchin' my girl Kathryn (she got ROBBED her season).

Melinda and (she really bugs me...she's pretty full of herself) Pasha doing a Jive with Melanie and Tony (I think it's funny that it used to be Tony and you would see Melanie in the background...now Melanie is right in there...love it(did you know she was on what not to wear a few years back?:) She better be good at this quick feet stuff being a tapper and all. How is Pasha not a professional on Dancing with the Stars. She did okay...I'm never gonna have nice to things about her...she just bugs me.

***Adam has A LOT to say tonight***

Alex and Allison (contemporary with Sonja)...Allison is beautiful and a beautiful dancer. He's really fantastic...she is really hard not to watch...the judges are on their feet and Nigel is barely holding on...he can't even talk...and just gave the biggest compliment EVER...I'm SO glad.

Alexie and Twitch (nappy again...hollah back). Twitch is like 3 times her height (love this song) LOVE these types of routines by my favs nappytabs....she totally reminds me of Chelsea Hightower and I LOVE her. She is SO cute and I thought she did so great...Amen Nigel. Yeah...maybe she didn't "hit it" so hard...but the music (for me) fit how she danced it...oh...and Twitch is Awe.some.

Lauren and Ade (lucky) jazz with Mandy Moore. Mandy loves her some 80s music. I LOVED that...doesn't hurt that I LOVE Ade and Lauren is my favorite gally. Her body is ridiculous. Boo Nigel Boo. I thought it was a terrifically fun routine. Okay...so Adam is right...she totally was face front to the audience smiling and not connecting with Ade...but I still LOVED it.

Kent and Anya (oh man) cha cha with Tony and Melanie. I like this kid...such a great personality. Ok...that was so freakin' terrific. How cute is that kid??? Oh I just love him. Oh and Nigel...you might want to let Kent know who Paul Newman is before making that comparison. "Cool" he says...really he is just a great kid. I can't stop smiling and laughing....between this kid and the judges it's just happy hour on SYTYCD.

Ashley (who I feel like I don't know at all) and Neil (contemporary with Tyce). Maybe it's because it's almost the last dance...maybe it's because I have no connection to Ashley...but that dance was just another dance to me...it was good but I'm not jumping up and down. Ouch..."in fact I think I am"...you're 19...really?

Robert (he's a weird duck) and Kourtney (african jazz). He is a great dancer...but so strange...his personality is off-putting. Oh dear Adam...let's not go there yet...did you already forget Alex's routine? See? Sooooo strange....


THE GAME:
In the comments....leave your bottom 3 and which person is going home. remember that they will dance for their life and the judges will send one person home.

**We aren't going to do a final 4 'cause I don't know if they will do a final 4 and if it will be 2 guys/2gals or what...so we will just do the weekly vote!


Friday, June 11, 2010

I may have shed more then a few tears...

I've been having internet issues this week...so I didn't blog while watching this week's episodes of SYTYCD...which is too bad because MAN were they good!


I actually didn't mind them going to their hometowns to let them know if they made it or not...however, awkward for those who didn't, since they had to some how say good bye to the judge and have them leave the house rather then just walk back off the stage...but so cool for those who did make it...

I'm pretty glad they decided to do a top 11 since I was struggling with the fact that either Billy or the dark head kid would get cut. For the most part I like everyone who made it...with a few exceptions....Tap girl and salsa girl....

As for the "first night" of dancing with the all-stars (which I will just say....LOVE that they are back and may struggle watching the contestants when I will just want to watch them....cause they were all my favorites)...

First number...a Wade Robson...AWESOME...couldn't stop watching the all-stars though.

Jazz number (Travis Wall) with my favorite boy and favorite girl....the young kid from the weird named place and the blonde ( I LOVE her like I LOVED Katherine....who she got to dance with).....Amazing routine and they did so freakin' great!

Broadway number (with the tapper and the girl who has tried out a zillion times...it was okay. I'm pretty sure I will want tapper girl to go home shortly.

Salsa number....oh boy...that girl is gonna be in trouble...how am I supposed to watch her when Anya and Pasha are on stage???? seriously, those 2 are A.Mazing.

Hip Hop....HOLLAH! You all know this to be my FAVORITE and I LOVE me some NappyTabs and I LOVED this routine. Little Jose held his own against those 3....Man, I have missed Dominic...I will be watching that one again. Totally clapped when it was over:)

Jazz? (Sonja)...FAVORITE of the night! Seriously...this was so freakin' fantastic!!! I don't even remember which contestants did this one...oh ya...the dark haired kid, the dark haired girl and the awesome black kid with the crazy body.

Contemporary (Mia...so glad she is back)...cool idea...didn't feel like a lot really went on...missed Ade and glad he is back too!

Is that all? Feel like I'm forgetting one...well...after I watch it again I'll add if I missed!

My early favorites: The blonde...the young kid...Alex (from the Miami ballet) and Jose.

I'm wondering if they will get matched up with the all-stars based on genre...I would be terrified to dance in the genre of an all-star...talk about pressure and a comparison factor you wouldn't want....crazy! 'Course, I don't care cause I can't wait to watch the likes of Katherine, Ade, Dominic, Twitch, etc...to dance...gonna be SO good!

Stay-tuned til next week when the first performances that matter begin and the point game begins!

more dance...

it's too much to blog while watching the city things...so I have just been sitting back enjoying the highs and lows.


Some thoughts and info:

There was a girl in Texas (first one of that night's episode) that was A.Mazing. She was in middle splits and lifted her body up twice...with her thighs I tell you...her thighs...it was crazy.

I was really hoping our "allstars" were back to compete...but they aren't....they are back "Dancing with the stars" style...which is kind of annoying...but I will be happy to see them dance again.

Vegas....that Alex kid is back from season 5....the kid who couldn't go through because of his contract with the Miami ballet. And Billy Bell from last year who got very sick. Alex better make it through...loved him 2 summers ago...still love him.

The screamer is back on the judging panel for Vegas week...guess her feelings aren't that hurt that she got the boot as a permanent judge...maybe we will see her as a choreographer.

Next week: we find out our top 10....with the judges in their homes?! They are changin' it ALL up!

SYTYCD...is BAAAACK!

Season 7...and I can't wait! And only 10 make it all the way through...10...out of all you crazy dancers...10...good luck! And there's .....Mia...hollah! where's Mary??? Ohhhhhh boy...Mia replaced Mary as a permanent judge for this season....guess Mia being gone last season stirred up enough that they did what she wanted to bring her back. Wonder if Mary will choreograph some numbers this season...


The dancers:

Day 1:

self proclaimed "big girl" makes it straight through

Our first couple....and the girl's boobs (which are totally NOT real) are seriously barely staying in her top...she must have a lot of J-lo tape in use.

Here come da crazies yo...1-2-3 party. I'm not really seeing any 80s moves per se. I was kinda hoping for a little Molly Ringwald. And he offended Adam by not knowing who he is...don't be so full of yourself...'course...if you are trying out for this show, you should probably know who he is.

....and more crazies...

Teddys back...the diamond pants guy from last season...I can't tell if the judges are liking him or not. Very spastic for me. Guess they like him...WOW...they really like him. Shall see how he does in Vegas again this year.

ballet girl...good....shirtless boy...hot...I mean good:)

The bio-hazard guy...wonder if he knows Mac Taylor...I mean, he does work in NY cleaning up homicide scenes...ummmm...dancing like this...NOT gonna help you in the girlfriend department. "Country line dancing"...I would like Mia to choreograph one of those for the top 20.

"The locker kid"....with his mentor in tow...He'll be pleasing us with "iso-locking". Oh...his nickname is also "Isolock". I don't think he is any better then some of the fab poppers we have seen in the past.

Choreography time....with former Dance alum helping out...and mister isolock is gone...no shocker there.

Day 2:

Horror film guy....with fruit on his head...."different and interesting"...how 'bout weird...I love that his boss said, "he...or she, depending on the day"...awesome.....okay...just creepy...and disturbing. WOW

....and the falling....OUCH!

"why just run"...when you can run up buildings and jump off really high things...and do flips off trees? Not a great break dancer...maybe they could just put trees and walls all over the stage for him and he could impress us that way...'cause really...he kinda sucks.

VERY tall contemporary dancer.

Hot pink dress girl...she was great...but could she pull her hair back...I hate that.

Hot pink shirt boy...with WAY wrong bottoms on...kinda grossin' me out....But he is Good...like the Brandon kid (who I couldn't stand) good. He does need a choreographer though...but most of the dancers do. But he only gets choreography?

Our last NY dancer. "thicker?"..ok...I'm not trying to be rude...but thicker is not the correct word...don't get me wrong...she could still be good...I just don't understand how you can be a dance major and not be at least somewhat thin (aren't you dancing all the time)...Have I offended the world yet? Thank you Adam for being honest...you know when she walked out they thought it was gonna be a big joke...I'm not gonna lie...she did great...I just don't get it. There you go...Mia didn't get any jobs because of her size...though that girl can choreograph.

Choreography...nope...not the "thicker" girl or the "b-boy".

On to Miami...judges...sonja and that newer ballroom choreographer.

What's up...Czech guy comes to Miami to try out? But he's from Colorado?...and he's through.

Ok...this guy is a for reals dancer...but the basketball shorts are B-A-D...not that I want to see the skinny tight outfit in all it's glory alone...but big red shorts?...good thing he is GOOD!

Shaved head kid that couldn't speak straight...GORGEOUS!

Girl dancing with her dad...totally weird. Guess that idea backfired.

momma with a 6 year-old....I hope she's good. She called herself older and she is only 27...big wah....I'm just jealous...'cause I want her body to be my body.

Choreography...momma is going to Vegas....

Miami day 2:

Velvet Angels....you know Miami's spice girls:) What kind of dancing is this? Maybe she should try out for Simon's "X-factor" and sing while she dances...not that she is all that great...Love that Sonya told her to back it in and tie it down..."real dancers" want to see the dancing, not that boob a jiggling.

Yellow halter ballroom? oh goodness that was painful.

"crimes against dancing"...seriously...Bad. Cue CSI Miami these music...how did a FOX show get approval for that? Maybe it's a good thing they are only making a top 10 from all these folks.

A legacy wanna be....looks just like him when he dances too. if you make it on the show...you are gonna have to shave that nasty thing off your chin.

Choreography...Velvet Angels...is a no...good thing...go find out when X-factor auditions. Legacy version 2...we shall see.

Come back next week for some Chicago and Hollywood.
