Tag Archive: So You Think You Can Dance


Ellen Degeneres appeared as a guest in the judge panel, and it was a really fun night, her jokes had made the contestants and us forgot some of the judges’ mean comments.

The night started with a group performance choreographed by Travis, we all loved it. It’s good to see a former contestant grow up.

First up, was Evan and Janette, Jazz. Not the typical Sonya weird routine, not as good as the pieces she did before. But still, they did it good. The judges loved it. Mia even said Janette was her favorite, which should fly her up in to sky :P .

Jeanine and Brandon, Waltz. Had to blame the choreography on this one. This one’s the slowest Waltz I’ve seen on this show, a bit boring to watch. Hopefully people saw their potentials in other sides and vote for them.

Melissa and Ade, Cha Cha. Not a good reunion on this one. They had very great chemistry before, but after two weeks departure, it seemed they failed to get to it. They might not be safe this week.

Jason and Kayla, Broadway. A solid performance. Jason had finally showed why he deserved to be in the top 10 for me.

And, second round.

Evan and Janette, Rhumba. It’s weird to see Evan dance in this routine, he did try hard, but still…

Jeanine and Brandon, Pop Jazz. Laurieanne Gibson, first appearance on the show, she’s very tough. But that tough paid off, it was a very powerful routine, should make people forget about the boring Waltz.

Melissa and Ade, Contemporary. Through out the whole five seasons, only a few routines got me emotional, including this one. The judges were lost in words, even Nigel had cried. It was one of the most memorable routines. Tyce did a great job, Melissa and Ade did a great job. ‘Nuff said.

Jason and Kayla, Hip Hop. Awesome routine by Shane Sparks. Jason’s definitely on the uphill. Kayla was as good as she used to be.

It’s really hard to predict the results of this night. I think Jeanine and Brandon, Evan and Janette might be in the danger zone as both performed not that well in one routine.

This was the last night on the stage for two of them.

It all started with a Tabitha and Napoleon choreographed Hip Hop routine, not their best, but still loved it.

First up, were Jason and Caitlin and Brandon and Janette. It was without question that Brandon and Janette were safe after their amazing performance of the previous night.

Next, Evan and Randi and Phillip and Jeannine. I got it right again, Phillip and Jeannine had to dance for their lives. Nigel said they knew the results that morning, and he seemed to implied that they already made up decisions, which made me a bit worried about Phillip.

Last but not least, Ade and Melissa and Kupono and Kayla. A bit surprised to see Ade and Melissa were in the bottom three.

At this point, there was no doubt that Caitlin would be cut, she’s the weakest of them all.

Jason, Jeannine, and Ade’s solos were very impressive. Though I still thought Jason’s not reaching his best performance of the first dance could send him home.

The judges were unanimous in their decisions. First was Caitlin, then Phillip. Though, they will be on the tour after the show.

No Hip Hop dancers left this season. What a pity.

P.S. Damn Sony for not greenlighting Fox to make a tribute to Michael Jackson. What the hell!

This week each pair danced twice, and this could be the final dance as a couple for some of them.

First round.

Melissa and Ade, Disco. Energetic and well executed, not the best Disco of the show, but it was good.

Kayla and Kupono, contemporary. Kupono pulled it off excellently, esp his performance. What worried me was that the American might not love this piece, and put them in the bottom three.

Caitlin and Jason, Foxtrot. I had to disagree with the judges on this one. I did not see their energies, and their performances were a bit awkward to me. I’d be surprised if they are not in the bottom. And I’d be shocked if they manage to the top 10 if they do are in the bottom three.

Jeanine and Phillip, Russian Folk Dance. I could understand that the show wanted to bring more dance element to the world. But, Folk dance for this couple, got to be joking. They didn’t do that bad as I thought though. However, this could make them in the bottom three.

Randi and Evan, Hip Hop. Good performance, though not memorable. Could have done it better.

Janette and Brandon, Argentine Tango. Best dance of the night, no doubt. The judges stood up for them too! It’s a pity that they’ll be broken up next week.

Second round.

Melissa and Ade, Waltz. Very smooth, the chemistry they had made it much better.

Kayla and Kupono, Broadway. Didn’t see character in them. Overall it was not bad.

Caitlin and Jason, Lyrical Jazz. Something’s missing there. They did dance very nice, but as the judges said, some magic element’s missing.

Jeanine and Phillip, Jive. What a night for them! Well, this time they did a good job, though the techniques were not there, esp Phillip. It’s very energetic and enjoyable.

Randi and Evan, Samba. Their makeup and dresses were a bit odd, And the dance fell with them.

Janette and Brandon, Jazz. Once again, they proved to be the best couple. Nothing to criticize. Good luck next week.

My guess for the bottom three, Kayla and Kupono, Caitlin and Jason, Jeanine and Phillip. Jason will be cut for sure, my bet on the girl is Caitlin, but if she performs great, it’s Kayla.

… I got them all wrong, lol.

Anyway, the show started with Tyce Dilorio’s Broadway routine. It’s great, though a few scenes were kind of odd, but those were the problems of camera.

First up, were Karla and Vitolio and Randi and Evan. Quick Step had been the kiss of death, for years, only one or two couple had managed to get through it in the last 4 seasons. Karla and Vitolio could not get past it like the others. At this point, it was very bad for Vitolio, he’d been in the bottom three times. Unless he could pull up some great performance, he would go home. Randi and Evan were safe, though they did an average job.

Next up, Janette and Brandon, Kayla and Kupono, and Melissa and Ade. Janette and Brandon were the best couple the night before, there’s no doubt they’d be safe. As Nigel said, everyone’s tastes were different, though I love Kayla and Kupono’s Sonya’s weird routine, the American didn’t. While I thought Melissa and Ade’s classical ballet might not get enough vote, they were blessed.

Last two couples, Caitlin and Jason and Jeanine and Philip. Jeanine and Philip pulled off one of the best dances, and I never thought they’d be in the bottom three this week. Caitlin and Jason weird costume and dance made me wonder they were in danger. However, I was in the minorities again. The biggest shock of the night, Jeanine and Philip were in the bottom.

This week’s guest performance was brought by two ballet dancers. Like Melissa and Ade’s, there was no excitement, though they were very great in their style.

Karla’s solo was better than last week, but she was lacking something to shine. Vitolio could not bring anything to the stage. Kayla was the same. Kupono did not have much in his solo. Jeanine made it so obvious that she was the strongest of the three girls. Philip, he was so damn unique in his own style.

After Kelly Clarkson’s performance, decision time. The judges were unanimous on both girls and boys. Jeanine’s safe, for sure. The other two girls, Karla had no star quality and was sent home. As for boys, Philip was safe, though Nigel gave him some critiques. Vitolio was knocked out for not delivering. Kupono stayed.

Next week’s the final week before the top 10. Can’t wait to see who will get through.

Janette and Brandon, Cha Cha. They are on fire! Brandon to me, it’s like Joshua of Season 4, though he still lacks of something. They’d definitely be in the top 10. And I believe Brandon will climb up to the finals. Mia Michaels complimented him very much as well, that he cried.

Kayla and Kupono, Contemporary, by Sonya. I love Sonya’s Choreography very much, and the songs she chose. This one’s no exception (the song was “Eyes on Fire” by Blue Foundation). And these two performs very well. Their chemistry and movements were both great.

Randi and Evan, Broadway. They executed it well. But their personalities did not shine. Nigel said they’d be in the top 10, and I believe it too.

Caitlin and Jason, Jazz. Brian Friedman’s Choreography was weird too, but this one’s fun to watch. They did a good job. However, I doubt this dance might get them in trouble.

Melissa and Ade, Classical Pas de deux. Ballet’s Melissa’s style, and she rocked it. Ade’s a bit fell behind though. I didn’t see a story in this dance, and the chemistry between them did not work well as before. They might be in danger.

Jeanine and Phillip, Hip Hop. The chain seemed to give them lots of troubles when training. But when they were on stage, no trouble. Everything’s great. And, they are now chained together.

Karla and Vitolio, Quick step. First time as couple, and they were doomed to this dead style. That’s what I thought first, lol. The costume change was brilliant, good job Jean-Marc. It’s not the best Quick step on the show so far, but it’s better than most of the other couples’.

My guess for the bottom three: Caitlin and Jason, Melissa and Ade, Randi and Evan. And we’ll say goodbye to Caitlin and Jason.

The show started off with a hip-hop and cha-cha infused dance, co-choreographed by Dmitry Chaplin and Tabitha and Napoleon. Love it.

Apparently, Asuka’s tears could not get enough votes for them, she and Vitolio were the first couple in the bottom three.
Janette and Brandon were safe, for sure. And “the butt made the cut,” Randi and Evan were through to the next round.
I was wrong with Jeanine and Phillip again. I think American love Phillip very much? Let’s see what they could bring next week.
Melissa and Ade, looking forward to seeing how they handle their next style.
Nigel’s bet on Karla and Jonathan turned out to be right, and my bet, lol.
Ashley and Kupono’s Viennese waltz got Mary yelled for them, and so did American. Caitlin and Jason were in the bottom three, which I got it right again.

Asuka’s solo was not that impressive, Vitolio’s jumps were very strong. Kayla’s dance was fun to watch, and showed her great techniques. Jonathan’s was much more energetic than Asuka. Caitlin’s just soso. Jason kind of lost his desire to win.

The judges thought Asuka did not improve in this competition and sent her home. And they went on to prove their dislikes to ballroom dancers, Jonathan was cut.

So Karla and Vitolio will be new couple next week. Hopefully they could find some chemistries.
See you next week.

Jonathan and Karla, Hip Hop. Not a good start for the show. But Nigel’s overly harsh on them, think Karla’s got hurt for that. They’d be in the bottom, quite positive. And at least one of them will go home.

Asuka and Vitolio, Jazz. They are still not that related to each other, though they are both good at technique. The video tape of Asuka crying and Vitolio’s being sweet might save them.

Melissa and Ade, Rhumba. Great technique, great chemistry, everything’s great for this couple so far. Looking to see how they could handle something like hip hop.

Janette and Brandon, Hip Hop. Much better than the first routine. Janette’s really in it. Pity that Lil C’s not the judge tonight.

Kayla and Kupono, Viennese Waltz. Very beautiful routine, the first time they danced together and things worked out quite well.

Evan and Randi, Contemporary. Mia Michaels’ routine was a bit weird compared to her former pieces. But… it’s great. These two have the best chemistry of all, and their techniques are immense as well.

Caitlin and Jason, Paso Doble. Good, but not great. They still couldn’t top their first Bollywood  performance, and that would be their biggest problem with the judges.

Jeanine and Phillip, Broadway. Phillip’s working very hard, and it paid off. He’s doing an amazing job on this routine, except his performance was a bit lacking.

My guess for the bottome three, Jonathan and Karla, Caitlin and Jason, Jeanine and Phillip. Jonathan and Karla will go home.

Well, I only guessed one couple right… Caitlin and Jason, Ashley and Kupono, Kayla and Max were in the bottom three, completely different from last week. Was shocked to see Kayla and Max not loved by American, maybe it was because of their weird looks?

After the solos, I was thinking Ashley and Jason would go home. Again I was right with one of them, lol…

Ashley’s solo was a bit boring, I think she did not prepare for it quite well, and that costed her the chance to continue on.

Once again, the judges showed no love for ballroom dancers. Max was cut because his solo was restricted. Damn!

 

See you next week…

Randi & Evan’s Jive was good, to start the show. They will be safe.

Melissa & Ade, taking Sonya’s weird Jazz routine really great. Love Sonya!

Caitlin & Jason’ Hiphop was soso, they were not that into it. Maybe last week great performance laid them some pressures.

Janette & Brandon’s so called fastest Disco (of the show) was fantastic.

Asuka & Vitolio, the Waltz was beautiful. Though I have a feeling they might end up in the bottom three again, and one of them (probably Asuka) is going home.

Kayla & Max’s wacky Pop Jazz kept them stay on the hot Tamale train.

Karla & Jonathan’s contemporary was great, if Jonathan could be stronger like Brandon or Vitolio, it would be amazing.

Jeanine & Philip, poor them… Tango’s not their genre, esp for Philip. It was weird to see him dance that style. They might be in the bottom three, but Jeanine should be safe, while Philip needs to pull out all he has.

Ashley & Kupono, the Hiphop was good in the first half, then fell down.

 

My guess of the three bottom couples: Asuka & Vitolio, Jeanine & Philip, Ashley & Kupono.

Asuka and Kupono will go home.
