Travis is stunning. I didn't see his quick step, so I'm sure he had issues with that, but with that kind of technique and performance he could get any kind of job he wanted.
Benji I am really impressed with. He doesn't have the turns and leaps of Travis, but he has really molded himself to what was needed of him and he could have a good run in a lot of styles I think. Also, he's so fun, I think he will get the votes before Travis.
Heidi is good, but I don't see her going far in any other style but her Latin. She has done better with the other styles, and she has an amazing figure, but she should stick with her Latin thing and I'm sure she'll go far. |
With Donyelly, she's is very good in her genre(s) Hip-Hop and Contemporary. She's also one the most versatile dancers in the competition. The other night, her only real critique was that Benji was out shining her (I agree with that...Benji is easily one of the top 2), and she did well in Hip-Hop. But before this, every performance she's had was praised by the judges.
With Heidi and Travis, they've had their upsides and downsides in the competition. Sure they're good in the genre but so is everybody else. I would have one of these two tied at the 3rd spot. Personally, I love Travis, he's grown on me since mid-season. Heidi is a good entertainer, I enjoyed most of her dances (especially the African Pop one the other night and the contemporary dance with Travis).
Benji....well, I think he's really going to win the competition.

like everyone said last night (esp Mia, whose opinion I respect perhaps the most), Heidi's improved the most

I just got done watching teh show on DVR, and even Mia said that Heidi (while she did improve the most), she is NOT a versatile dancer since she has worked with her before and knows what she's really capable of. I thought it was a bit harsh but true.
Personally, I like the top 4 and it's going to be hard picking my favorite right now. I usually go for the underdogs...so it's Donyelle and Travis for me.
