But how can almost everyone be there? It isn't really possible and two more dancers were sent home tonight on the So You Think You Can Dance results show. But before I get to the doom and gloom of the week, let me start by recapping the dances that were performed last night.
1) Ashleigh and Jakob danced a Tabitha and Napoleon hip hop routine
This dance had great emotion and was a wonderful story. The two dancers were really into it and they did well in the style, despite it being out of their comfort zone. And, I agree with the judges, Ashleigh stood out to me and she is definitely no longer in Jakob's shadow.
2) Karen and Kevin danced a Broadway routine by new choreographer Spencer Liff
This routine was by far the worst of the night. Their lack of technique was obvious. The performance was not hard hitting enough and their movement was cautious. Honestly, neither portrayed any personality and because Karen could not be sexy, she was awful, proving the point I made last week.
3) Noelle and Russell danced a foxtrot choreographed by Eddie Simon
This was the dance this pair pulled week one, but because of Noelle's injury, this is the first time we see her perform it. Throughout the dance they both seemed to really be enjoying themselves, which made me enjoy the performance. They were smooth and controlled as needed, which made the dance not horrible. Overall it was pretty great, but I had doubts it would pull in votes.
4) Channing and Victor danced a Tyce jazz routine
For this routine the dancers were asked to perform as birds. Tyce gave them quirky, intricate choreography that was weird, but I liked it. It was a pretty memorable dance.
5) Kathryn and Legacy performed a paso doble choreographed by Tony
This was a powerful, passionate, intense dance, as it should be. The pair also stayed very much in character throughout the dance. The last trick didn't go as well as it should have and they were not technically great but it didn't matter because it was entertaining and Legacy was shirtless.
6) Ellenore and Ryan danced a Travis contemporary routine
The judges LOVED this dance, but I kind of wish I had believed the emotion more, which made it not as great for me. But as usual, Travis did a wonderful job with the choreography. It flowed the way it should have and the lifts were awesome, so it was a good routine.
7) Mollee and Nathan danced a Laurieann choreographed pop jazz routine
Honestly, I didn't like this routine but I think it was because I didn't like the choreography. This was a very intense routine, which was difficult to believe from these two young, immature dancers. Overall, they were pretty good, but still not great for me. No matter what, it was definitely tons better than last week, which is what really matters. I also appreciate that the judges didn't praise them.
Tonight's results show opened with a Wade Robson group dance that was quirky and odd, but very very entertaining. The dancers were living art and they all performed so well. I didn't know what to expect next, which kept me on the edge of my seat. I was captivated from the first moment of the dance.
As for the bottom three, they were:
1) Karen and Kevin (no shock there)
2) Channing and Victor (I just don't think they have connected with the audience yet)
3) Mollee and Nathan (they weren't in the bottom last week, but are this week? weird)
They all then got to perform a solo. Karen danced frantically and didn't finish her movements, AGAIN; Kevin didn't do much, which left me expecting and wanting more; Channing performed with lots of unnecessary body throws; Victor showed his technique and performed lots of turns; Mollee was pretty good but almost did too many flips and her hair tossing was distracting at times; Nathan showed his power and performed unique choreography.
In the end, we said goodbye to Channing and Kevin. While I'm always sad to see people go, I wasn't too disappointed. As for next week, each couple will have to dance two dances. And then it's on to the top 10 where America makes all the decisions. Are you ready for that responsibility? Until next week.
