So You Think You Can Dance: Season 5 - Page 9

As a self-proclaimed non-fan of Kayla's, I will admit that she did an excellent job with the Broadway number. But I can't say that it was as good as the judges, yet again, made it out to be. I mean really. Mia said if you looked up "girl, star, perfection" you'd see a picture of Kayla. That's a bit over the top for me. I just don't see what they must be seeing in her.

Here's to hoping Janine and Brandon's next number is better than their first. I'd hate to see either of them leave the show.

Ade's solo was great - best solo so far tonight, IMO.

I *loved* Ade's solo, I thought it was one of the best I've seen this season. Really good stuff.

And what I liked best about Kayla's first number is that Tyce didn't let her get away with doing it barefoot!

I really enjoyed Ellen's contributions tonight! I think she is funny and yet not over the top, so she fit in well. It was a nice change to the usual routine.

I struggle with Mia - she REALLY gets on my nerves, and I think it's because she comes off arrogant all the time. Even when she is giving praise to choreographers, it feels like she is talking to an underling. I thought the bunnies and rabbits comment to BRandon was rude...even though it was a stupid thing for him to say about his mindset while learning a dance.

Beautiful number about breast cancer and two perfect dancers to perform it, imo. Very touching.

Wow, tonight's elimination is going to be hard...I thought each couple had one standout performace.

If I had to say which couple did the best overall, it would be Janette and Evan. I really loved Sonya's Jazz routine, and I thought the Samba was also pretty good even though Nigel is right about it not being the kind of dance that gets people voting for you.

Next would be Jason and Kayla. I, personally, didn't think the Broadway was so fantastic but compared to the Brandon/Jeanine's Waltz and Melissa/Ade's Salsa, J&K's dance was solid. Plus, the Zombie Dance was very cool and, as the last dance, it probably got a lot of votes.

Compared to the other girls who get heaps of praise, I thought Melissa was a sure goner this week, but it'll be hard to see her go after such a powerful performance in the Breast Cancer contemporary. It was incredibly moving and definitely gave me goosebumps. I agree with Nigel again...I wouldn't have wanted to see anyone but Melissa and Ade dance it.

I also really enjoyed the Military Pop...I think LaurieAnn is awesome and it's great to see her choreographing for SYTYCD now! I was, however, surprised the judges loved it as much as they did. I thought Brandon definitely performed it better than Jeanine.

As far as solos go, the two most memorable were Brandon and Evan. I can never even remember Jason, Kayla, or Ade's solos...they are kinda throw-aways for me.

SydneyK · #**125** 07-23-2009, 04:11 PM

I missed Brandon's and Jeanine's military pop routine. I also missed Brandon's and Evan's solos. I saw the last few seconds of the Breast Cancer dance, but I saw all the judges' reactions... I wish I had seen it all.

My prediction of who goes home: Evan and Melissa
My hope of who goes home: Jason and Kayla

I didn't realize that Katie Holmes was a dancer. I'm looking forward to see what she does tonight.

Sydney, here is the Breast Cancer routine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKxoCxalyWw

I bet Brandon and Evan's solos are probably also on YouTube.

Is anyone else watching now? The bottom 4 dancers definitely surprised me...

YES AND I just spent 15 minutes trying to explain to live-in why the emmy winning dancers were there performing again.

"So... they want to be back on the show? So they can win again?"

UGH.

whhaaaat? Boo

There was a rumor going around facebook when this season first started that Janette was an AXiD, but I dont know if there is any truth to that. I cant find what school she went to....so I dunno...

ZTAngel · #**130** 07-23-2009, 10:03 PM

Ugh. I wanted Janette to win too. I'm so sad she's going home.

I'm glad they featured the Season 2 dancers the most. I think that was the best season. Plus Heidi is my favorite dancer from all of the seasons so I was excited to see her.

pbear19 · #**131** 07-23-2009, 10:15 PM

Love Janette, can't stand Kayla. Was really hoping for a different result!!! But I'm glad Brandon didn't go, too.

WinniBug · #**132** 07-23-2009, 10:41 PM

I think I know what it is about Janette...her teeth, and how she got all stupid-goofy and jumped up and down like a crazy person whenever she got any praise.

I kept telling Cat to say Kayler's name, but she didn't listen...she said Janette's instead.

I really thought Evan was going to be going home tonight.

I was WAY more excited to see past dances than I was to see Katie Holmes!! Yay, Ramalama!

Has anyone else noticed that Season 1 contestants don't come back like the others do?

I love that you said "Kayler" instead of Kayla

Ramalama was amazing, and Katie Holmes was kinda...eh

I'm kinda sad that Jeanette is gone...if Melissa hadn't been in that performance last night, she would've been gone

I an a big fan of Kayla and even I was suprised to see jeanette going home instead. For the above poster if jeanette is a AXiD she could have going to Florida International University, I know alot of miami natives go to FIU.

Also I think that season 1 never comes back on the show because they arent wanted, the show never talks about season 1 all they talk about is season 2 and beyond. Plus season 1 wasnt as popular as the others, which is sad cause I loved Nick and Melody and even Blake.

Penguin08 · #**135** 07-24-2009, 12:48 AM

So I loooove this show and thought the performances they brought back were very good. I wish they would've brought back the one with the flowers that Mia did for her father, especially after she was so broken up about the breast cancer performance.

Don't shoot me, but I'm glad Jeanette went home. I was hoping she and Evan would go. I hope that either Jeanine or Melissa win. They've only had one girl winner, they need another one!
