^ once the show gets to the top 10 all of dancers do a solo, so hopefully your favorites will still be there for that.

^^ That was what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

I really wish Nigel would have just said "The choreography for the Russian Dance sucked"...

Mmph. The second dance I've seen Kayla do barefoot when she should have been in heels. That just bugs me, and really makes me assume they are barefoot because they couldn't do it in heels.

I just like her less and less every week. Oh, and I totally agree about the Russian piece^^!

SydneyK · #81 07-08-2009, 09:13 PM

Yeah... I just don't understand why the judges like Kayla so much. She's never really impressed me much. But even if she's in the bottom, they'll keep her around. Don't know why. ???

Seriously, there's no costuming reason why she should've been barefoot. It looks unfinished to me.

Because it definitely did!

Is anyone else a little sick of the now requisite choreography praise? Yes, sometimes it is deserved, but not always. The repeated fawning over the choreographers is wearing thin and seems ingenious. In my opinion, unless the choreography is above and beyond the norm, let's just assume that they did a good job with their assigned task and stick to judging the dancers.

ZTAngel · #84 07-09-2009, 07:08 AM

I was surprised that Nigel called out the choreographers. They've never done that before. They've always blamed any inadequacies on the dancers. I wish they had called out the choreographer in past seasons when Dan Karaty created those craptastic routines.

I kept hoping they'd pan over to the Russian choreographers while Nigel was trashing the dance - guess they didn't show up

I thought all of the couples did well last night in at least one of their dances. I really don't know who the bottom 3 will be, nor who will (or deserves) to get booted.

I think Kaitlyn (sp?.. sorry can't keep those names with infinite spelling possibilities straight) is headed home with possibly Evan. The judges heap praises on the other 5 ladies left but just offer her lukewarm compliments.

Evan just wasn't rememberable last night. We will see.

i literally had tears in my eyes with Mia Michaels piece set to Gravity by Sara Bareilles (sp?). it was very beautiful.

LeslieAGD · #88 07-09-2009, 12:56 PM

Another spectacular week for Janette and Brandon! They were by far the best couple on the stage last night (...although in the Wade piece, I couldn't stop thinking about Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka when I saw Janette in the hat, wig, gloves, and glasses lol).

I also really enjoyed both of Caitlyn and Jason's dances. The foxtrot was very elegant and the Mandy Moore contemporary was lovely.

Other than that, I thought Mia's "Addiction" piece was amazing. This was the first time I actually agreed that Kayla deserved praise because she danced it wonderfully, as did Kupono. However, their Broadway dance sucked.

I am not really impressed by Melissa and Ade. Yes, they are good dancers but so is everyone on the show. I feel like they've gotten really easy dances style-wise and that they haven't been challenged like the other dancers have. I would've liked to have seen them have to do hard-hitting hip-hop before they got broken up.

Jeanine and Phillip did what they could with the Russian dance. It certainly wasn't their fault that the choreography was bland. The Jive was okay...I found the costumes to be very distracting and not Jive-like.

As for Randi and Evan, welllllllllllllllllllll...I didn't like either of their dances last night. They danced the hip-hop adequately but, like Nigel, I was wondering why a pregnant woman would be flipping in the air. I know that's Nap/Tab's doing - not R&E's - but it just took away from the performance, IMO. Also, the Samba was weak...but it was nice to see Pasha and Anya again!

***

Bottom three / going home commentary:

It's kind of crapshot tonight...

- I'm pretty sure that neither Janette/Brandon nor Melissa/Ade will be in the bottom.

- Randi/Evan have never been in the bottom before, but they should be tonight, IMO. I wouldn't be surprised to see either - or both - of them go home.

- Jeanine is not going home, even if she's in the bottom. The judges pretty much guaranteed her a spot. Unless she fall and sits down on the stage through her entire solo, she's staying.

- Caitlyn is questionable if she is in the bottom. Everytime she is in the bottom, she dances the very best solo but, if comes down to her and the judge-favorite Kayla, she might be sacrificed...which would be sad and unfair.

- Jason, Kupono, and Phillip are all iffy. The judges like - but not love - all of them. Neither Jason nor Kupono have had great solos in the past, but Kupono is weaker in the solo department. The judges admire Phillip in his own style and probably want him on the tour for diversity, but if he doesn't go this week he'll go home very soon.

- Kayla, Kayla, Kayla...unfortunately, she's most likely safe. Her solos suck ass, but the judges pucker up every time she steps on stage even before she does a single step of choreography. Sigh.

( sorry for writting a novel this week, but I had a lot to say! )

SydneyK · #89 07-09-2009, 01:31 PM

^^^ Well put, Leslie. I agree with almost everything you said.

I'm not a fan of Mia's contemporary pieces, so I didn't much care for the Addiction number. I agree that Kayla & Kupono didn't do so so hot with the Broadway, so I'm all for those two being in the bottom three. I'm sure that won't happen, though. And even if they are in the bottom three, Kayla won't be going anywhere. :rolls eyes:

My pick for the bottom three would be:
Kayla/Kupono, Melissa/Ade, and Randi/Evan, with Kayla and Ade heading home.

My prediction for the bottom three is:
Randi/Evan, Caitlyn/Jason, Jeanine/Phillip, with Caitlyn and Evan leaving.
