Thursday Predictions

Tonight is the last night of SYTYCD of the season!  Last night had some good ones and bad ones.

 Melanie and Marko do a disco.  I thought it looked all jacked up.  Their worst performance together, not that it was that bad (just the worse they have done together).  The lifts were not smooth.  Not a good performance for a season finale.

 Sasha and Mark do Jazz.  In case some of you live under a rock, Mark is one of Lady Gaga's dancers!  This dance was awesome!  I love Mark, perfect guy for this piece.  Awesome footwork and extensions.  Sasha always gives it her all.

 Tadd and Joshua do a hip hop routine.  I didn't love it.  I didn't think it was the dancers faults.  I didn't care for the choreography.  But he danced it well.  Tadd just looked like a little guy next to Joshua.

 Melanie and Robert do a contemporary number.  I didn't get the story but thought it was danced well.  Robert always does an amazing job.  Melanie partners very well with anyone.

 Sasha and Marko have a Broadway piece.  I liked it.  Marko stayed in character.  Awesome moves.  Very cute.

 Sasha and Tadd do a Cha Cha.  Not your normal cha cha, at least it didn't look like it.  Not a lot of booty shakin.  There were a few mess ups.  Not an awesome number but fun.

 Marko and Lauren do contemporary.  Very Good!  Great connections.  Emotional.  Good chemistry.  Great lifts.  One of the best of the night.

 Melanie and Tadd do a jazz.  Very fun routine.  Melanie does great in character!!  They did very well.

 Sasha and Melanie do a contemporary.  Totally got the story.  Great footwork.  Top 2 girls were amazing.

Marko and Tadd did a hip/hop.  They looked tired.  But I thought the choreography was great.  They work well together.

Now...who will win?  I know it is not Tadd.  I love him but the other two are better.  In all honesty, I think it will be a girl.  My opinion on it....  I think Melanie should win.  But this is really a popularity contest so I don't know how America did it.  Either way, they are both wonderful girls and will get several opportunities presented to them after the show and tour are over!

Thursday Predictions

One more week and SYTYCD will be no more until next summer.  This makes me sad.  But last nights show was awesome!  I always like when Lil C guest judges and I also think that Christina Applegate did an amazing job as well.

Melanie and Twitch dance a hip hop.  I didn't love the choreography in this one.  I didn't feel there was a lot of dancing in it.  What dancing there was, was done well.  We got to see a different side of Melanie, a little dirty side.

 Sasha and Kent do a contemporary piece.  I love Kent!!  Very good, very emotional.  Awesome technique.  Made you feel emotions.  Brought Lil C to tears, only seen that one other time!

 Marko and Janette do a paso doble.  Good Footwork.  Great lifts.  Used Janette as the cape, great concept.  Nigel didn't like it but the rest of the judges did.

 Tadd and Ellenore did a contemporary.  To much use of a prop.  Needed more dancing.  When it was danced, it was danced well.

Ricky and Jamie do a contemporary.  I didn't like the use of the props (music sticks).  Flowed nicely.  I didn't get much out of it but I think it's because I'm not a huge fan of Ricky's.  Judges seemed fine with it.

 Caitlynn and Pasha do a samba.  Very sexy.  Great footwork.  She looked all grown up.  Great booty shakin.

 Sasha and Ricky do the first ever waacking.  I don't love this style.  Ricky didn't seem like he gave it 100%.  Sasha wacked better per Mary.

 Melanie and Tadd do a Broadway.  Very Black Swan looking.  Very good!!!!  Great "acting", good chemistry.  Very sensual.

Caitlynn and Marko do a jazz.  Deep!  Caitlynn stayed in character.  Great lifts.  Amazing.  This was Caitlynn's moment!

Bottom 4, this is hard.  To me Ricky and Caitlynn are a given for the bottom but not sure about the other two positions.  I said it last week and I'll say it again, if Ricky makes it to the finale I hope all the cheerleader followers get hives all over their body (just like I did).  So, bottom 4:

Ricky

Caitlynn

Tadd

Sasha

Sasha and Melanie is really a toss up.  I think they will both make it to the finale and honestly I have no idea who will win this year!  Can't wait until tonight!

Thursday Predictions

I loved the show this week.  The all-stars are amazing!  Oh, and did y'all know Twitch and Allison are dating and Lauren (from last season) and D-Trix are dating.  So really, SYTYCD is a dating show to!  Let's carry on.  Lady Gaga was a guest judge and I was surprised she was "normal" and really good.

Sasha and Pasha dance a quickstep.  The footwork was decent but not a "good" quickstep".  It was fun and entertaining but not the best I've ever seen. 

 Caitlynn and Ivan do a hip hop number.  Started a little slow.  They did well.  It was cute but not sexy.  Good partnering but I think it need a little more "sexy" from Caitlynn.  She needed to put her hips into it.

 Jordan and Ade do jazz.  They had a "moment" at the end....I thought they were going to kiss.  Very busy, a lot of flips.  Fun Routine.  Great leg extensions.  They were in unison.

 Melanie and Neil do contemporary.  Honestly...this is like a match made in heaven in the contemporary world.  Amazing!!!  You can always see the emotion in Melanie's face.  Great lifts.  Seeing Melanie literally fly through the air into Neils arms was amazing!  Flawless.  Standing O.  Lady Gaga said she would hire Melanie.

 Ricky and Anya do a jive.  She did an awesome flip with Ricky, like she flipped him!  I don't think he dance it well.  He almost dropped her once.

 Jess and Lauren G do hip hop.  I liked it.  When Jess finally got to dance, he flowed really well.

 Tadd and Lauren do jazz.  I think they danced it well, but I didn't like the choreography.  Tadd lost his hat and got punched in the face and acted like neither ever happened.  The judges seemed to love it as well.

 Marko and Allison do contemporary.  Standing O!  Both dancers were moved to tears.  Gaga cried!  So emotional.  In unison.  Great partnering.  Another wonderful piece with Allison in it.

 Caitlynn and Tadd danced a foxtrot.  I found myself watching Tadd the whole time.  Great partnering.  Good footwork.  Caitlynn looked very elegant.

 Marko and Ricky do hip hop.  Awesome.  Marko out danced Ricky.  Great footwork.  Marko seemed so natural at it.  I even saw him singing at one point.  Ricky seemed a little "elementary" dancing.  Very entertaining.  I see this as one of the dances Ellen does like she did of Alex and Twitches dance last year.

 Jordan and Jess do a rumba.  Jordan stole the show.  Jess just isn't "sexy".  Good partnering.  Not good chemistry.  She was arching her back to much.  Her dress was barely there.  The judges didn't seem to love the dance.

Melanie and Sasha dance a jazz.  The two best dancers were together.  I was so excited for it to start.  Really, Really good!!!  Standing O!  Best of the evening!

Predictions....

Bottom 4

Ricky

Jess

Caitlynn

Jordan

I think based on last night that Ricky and Caitlynn will be going home.

Thursday Predictions

Let me start off with I LOVE THAT THE ALL STARS ARE BACK!!!!

Also, I know that this post is incredibly late, but the powers that be would NOT let me blog until now.  Ugh.

Here we go:

Marko and Chelsie do a salsa!  Chelsie has always been one of my favs and I was so happy when she ended up on Dancing With the Stars.  To have her back as an All Star is amazing.  This dance was very fast moving.  I think Marko did a good job at keeping up with her.  I loved the flips and good foot work.  Judges loved it as well.

Jordan and Brandon have a contemporary piece.  This was very good, they stayed in sync.  Very precise moves.  Nigel says Jordan has many strengths.  Breath taking.

Tadd and Comfort have a hip-hop number.  When I saw that they were doing a hip hop together I said to my daughter "this is going to be good".  Ugh.  I think they did what was asked of them.  I thought it was going to blow me away, it didn't.  They were in sync.  Nigel said Tadd out danced Comfort, and he did. She was just kind of....background.

Mitchell and Melody did jazz.  I didn't watch all of Season 1 and don't remember Melody at all.  I also didn't think she was that great tonight.  Might not have been her fault.  I didn't like the number.  I think they did what they were supposed to but I didn't "get it".  Not good comments from the judges either.

Caitlynn and Pasha do a sexy tango.  Caitlynn looked like a completely different girl.  Good foot work, I only saw one mess up.  Mary gave her a standing "O".  All the judges loved it!!!  The lifts were effortless.

Sasha and Twitch have hip hop.  OMG!!!  My new favorite dance in SYTYCD history.  Hott!!  She absolutely kept up with Twitch.  I think she even made him step it up a notch.  Absolutely feel the sexual tension.  Standing O.  Not a bad comment from the judges.  Mary said Sasha is the All Star tonight!

Jess and Kathryn did a contemporary piece.  Good lifts.  Very emotional.  Jess was there for Kathryn.  Mary's favorite routine with Jess.  Nigel said he did good at the lifts.  Nigel also thinks it is his best routine to date.

Melanie and Pasha do the Viennese Waltz.  I hate this dance in general...I think they should do away with it.  To me, there wasn't alot of "dancing".  What was done, was done well.  Mary loved it.  Flowed well.  All the judges loved it.

Ricky and Allison do a jazz.  It was Awesome!!!!  Loved the concept.  I love Allison, so glad she is back as an All Star.  Ricky kept up with her.  Amazing lifts.  Ricky out did himself.  I think he needed this.

Clarice and Robert did Bollywood.  Best Bollywood I've seen!  Standing O.  Danced with ease.  High energy.  Made me want to go learn Bollywood.

Who will be in the bottom three?  Based on last nights performances I think:

Mitchell-not a good dance

Tadd-the dance didn't ask alot of him

Clarice-I don't think she has a big fan base

Who do I think will be going home?  I think 2 go home....right?

Ugh...I hate picking.  Maybe Tadd and Clarice?  I really don't know but that is my guess.

I think the final 2 will be between Sasha and Melanie!

Thursday Predictions

I first want to say....Jess was an AWESOME guest judge.  Very funny!!

 Sasha and Alexander opened up with a Paso Doble.  Alex seemed more like the female than Sasha in this routine.  I didn't care for the slow parts either.  Not their best at all.

 Jordan and Tadd did a Travis Wall Contemporary.  I didn't feel like they used the whole stage.  You didn't really get the story line until the end.  I loved Jordan's costume.  Good footwork as well.  Judges didn't really connect with the story.

 Ryan and Ricky have a Broadway number. Woah!  A dance where Ryan is SUPPOSED to smile, right up her alley.  I think Ryan killed it!  I didn't really "notice" Ricky at all.  Judges liked it but had some critiques.

 Caitlynn and Mitchell did hip hop.  Caitlynn hit alot harder then Mitchell.  Judges didn't like it.  They didn't feel they were in sync and didn't get the story line.  I thought it was strange.

 Melanie and Marko do a sexy Tango.  LOVED IT!!! Melanie was sexy though out the whole dance.  Very well danced.  The lift and flip was amazing.  I even went back on the dvr to watch it again!

 Clarice and Jess have hip-hop.  Another great dance.  Jess had some moves, I was impressed.  Very well danced.

 Sasha and Alexander have a jazz piece.  Very good.  Very strong, could see the emotion, and they were in sync.  Sasha actually fell at the end.  Alex didn't dance in Sasha's shadow, he danced with her.  I was proud of him.

 Jordan and Tadd do Broadway.  Bad song for the piece.  Well danced though.  Judges didn't feel like they were pushed...that is the choreographers fault not theirs, but whatev.

 Ryan and Ricky do a Cha Cha.  Ryan was sexy.  She really stepped up her game.  Both danced well but Ryan stole the show.  Great booty shakin.  Once again I didn't really notice Ricky.  Judges hated on Ryan and gushed on Ricky.  I think they might have it out for her.

 Caitlynn and Mitchell do jazz.  Parts of it were awkward.  At the end Mitchell's head was totally in Caitlynns goodies.  Great partnering.  Awesome lifts and flips.

 Mealine and Marko have a contemporary piece.  Loved it so much.  Very smooth and emotional.  Was one of the judges favorites of the night.

Clarice and Jess end the show with a jive.  Very high energy.  Mary said one of the fastest jives she's seen on the show.  Loved it but there were a few problems.  The footwork was still good.

I had a really hard time picking a bottom three couple this week.  I don't feel any couple as a whole deserves to be there, but individuals do.  I can't wait till next week when it becomes an individual competition.  I love Jordan and Tadd but didn't love the dances they were put in.  Keep in mind this is who I would put in the bottom three.  I realize it isn't who America would because it is really just a popularity contest.  Sasha has been carrying Alexander for weeks this way.

Jordan and Tadd (they are one of my favs, but not a good night for them)

Ricky and Ryan (when Nigel hates on someone...they usually end up in the bottom)

Caitylynn and Mitchell (because I have to pick 3)

Who do I think will go home?  Out of these three, Ricky and Ryan.  Suck always couples get voted off this year.  Luckily all couples are broken up to dance with the all stars next week!!!
