SMH at the whole debacle...

I tivo'd it and fastforwarded through all the talk (or almost all). Even just watching the dances was so boring and ugh.

I believe he only danced in his style...once. He's danced a number of ballroom routines, contemporary, jazz, Broadway, etc. If anyone coasted through, resting on their laurels--it would be (I'm going to catch flack for this) Melanie--she danced contemporary almost every week--throwing in a lyrical hip hop or two. I think Melanie is a gorgeous dancer, but she lucked out on her styles of dance.

I do not think Tadd is the best dancer, I want Sasha to win, however, I don't think he's had an easy ride and I DO think he's a very strong dancer.

I do agree...the finale bored me.

The end.

This season seemed to want to type cast the dancers. "This is the warrior" "This is the contemporary" "This is the b-boy". We get it. We got it five episodes ago.


One thing to notice with the dancing: Melanie dances from her head. SHe is technical. Not as much a full bodied performer. I figured she would be in the top four because her technique is great, but I don't think she is a great performer.

Team Marco or Sasha.

First runner up was robbed. That is all.
