SYTYCD9 Finale!!: MY PoV

Ugh second time "SYTYCD" was just blacked out on my tv..so I ran around the house until I could find it working!!! Way to make me nervous Time Warner

Jidges: Nigel, Mary, Tyce, Debbie, Lil C, and THE Adam Shankman! Loving the bow ties gents

"Torn"
The girls are wearing socks with those dresses right..for part of it? I kinda like it..quirky.  Favorite group routine so far. This is the best..when at the end it's just the top 4 left!!!


Nigel's pick: TITANIC ROUTINE Audrey and Matthew
Thank you Nigel! Fav routine of the season!


Lil C: Witney and Twitch
Love Wit in this routine, good choice Lil C double hashtag bucc. #oldsytycdreference #waitingforthebus


Debbie: George and Tiffany Sonya poiece "Turning Page"
I forgot about this, but once it started I remember really liking it and loving the song and wanting to get it, thanks for the reminder


Shankman's favorite ballroom routine: Paso Cole and Lindsay
Ahh I almost forgot if her name was an a or e...It's been a while.


Tyce: Love Cats. Nappy Tabs
IT makes total sense for Tyce to love this dance the best, it's right up his alley. (See what I just did there ;) )


#4 fav Audition: Bree Hafen This routine made me cry! Completely melted my heart! (sorry I forgot to put the first one)


Mary's fave "emotional" routine: Tyce's holocaust piece

I really LOVE this routine, mostly because I have always honed right in on anything I can learn about the Holocaust. I read everything about it.  It's just something that has always grasped my attention.  It pains me now to know he "stole" this choreography though...


Eliana's fave routine: Bang Bang with Alex


This is a great choice, the first time she could just let go and show what she's capable of.

Audition #3 NINJA TWINS! They were SOOOOOO entertaining


Cat's fav routine: Disco (11 lifts) Tiffany and Brandon
One of the best Discos on the series
Haha...Tiffany's outfit is really Shankman's?


Chehon's favorite routine: Argentine Tango with Anya
Didn't see that one coming.


New HIP HOP: Twitch, Comfort, Cyrus and Christopher Scott
I am so hyped to see Christopher Scott dance right now you guys don't even know!!!! Can he come on tour?


Tiffany's favorite routine: The Power of Love with ADE!!!!!!
The other of my two absolute favorite routines this season! Thank you for picking this Tiffany!


Um no..I did not like the 2nd most memorable moment: exorcist...I don't understand why everyone was crying, I didn't like it at ALL.

1st: Dragon House


Carly Rae Jepsen: This Kiss
I freaking LOVE her hair! Ryan and Nathan...SYTYCD alums as a backup dancer! That's right..SYTYCDers booking jobs left and right.

Cyrus' favorite routine: Cyrus and Twitch
this is a given favorite.for him. What's up with them overlapping the "live" footage with the tape.  Hey, we got to see Christopher Scott again.


Ahh you know what though..I kinda wish we would have got to see the DUBSTEP routine again! That was great!

Judging from the screams, I think Cyrus is the winner for the guys.

New! Nappytabs top 20 routine(kinda) TOP 10 PLUS ALL STARS: LION KING

omw Will must be in HEAVEN right now! Nappytabs taking hip hop to new heights.  Allison must be the best, she is totally standing out above EVERYONE..a group of 20! This dance was the BEST!

And Cat is the best host ever! I love how she interacts with the contestants!

And the (female) winner is....................

ELIANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omw I'm so hyped!!!!!!!!!!


And the (male) winner is.......

Chehon

I am thrilled! but SHOCKED! I truly thought America liked Cyrus best! And that is the first time I think I ever heard papa Jeff's name on the show.

I am SERIOUSLY running around the room screaming! This is one of the most exciting nights of the year for me #sadtruth I LOVE SYTYCD! Until next year guys...well or tour..maybe I'll blog about tour!


Ah and I mean really..TWO BALLET DANCERS JUST FREAKING WON SYTYCD...BALLET IS THE LIKE FOUNDATION OF 99% OF DANCE AND IT JUST MADE A COME BACK!

SYTYCD9 Performance Finale; Finale 4:My pov

Opening number:
This number is important, I mean who doesn't still think of Heidi, Donyelle, Travis, and Benji when Sexy Back comes on? O wait...what? There isn't one. I guess it's apparently not important? Maybe at the end of the show...

Eliana and Cyrus: Paso
Cyrus is being a good partner in the fact that he is lifting well, and all you are noticing is her.  He is by far being out danced..which only kinda shows in the end when she is the one standing powerfully on the stage.

Tiffany and Will: Sonya
This routine is obviously very technically difficult, but it doesn't seem like a finale standout routine.  She's killing it, but I'm just worried at the end of the night no one will remember it, and she didn't do anything to deserve not being remembered.  I mean Sonya always choreographs brilliantly, but she usually get's your emotions involved in it...and this was the first routine I think she didn't give them that opportunity.

Eliana and Chehon: Ballet, duh!
I think this is the first time classical ballet has been a featured routine on the show, which when you think about it is extraordinary seeing as this is the ninth season and ballet is the foundation of most all styles of dance.  They are dancing flawlessly and are breathtakingly beautiful.  It takes serious control to make all of that craziness look so effortless.  Those may be the two winners ladies and gents.

Cyrus and Tiffany: lyrical hip hop with someone that isn't Nappy Tabs
Ok the first couple seconds and I'm feeling like here is the SYTYCD I know and love again. This is what they need to be given in the finale, this may put them back in the running.

Ok, here it is. TOP 4 ROUTINE: Tyce Diorio
What a PERFECT fusion of all of their styles that really showed them all off. I don't know how much it flowed, or how much it will stand out when it comes to all 9 seasons of the top 4 dances.  However, I do really appreciate that they sincerely tried to show them all off.

Eliana: solo
Watching her dance makes me remember why I wanted to in the first place, and I know I've said that before but that's really significant to me. I haven't danced in a while and she makes me want to again.  She reminds me what it is I love about dance.

Chehon and Allison : Stacey Tookey
2 points for Chehon so far, this piece is being danced beautifully.Best piece so far?

TOP TWO GIRLS: Eliana and Tiffany: burlesque/broadway
Eliana obviously has the advantage here.  This is definately the most standout piece so far whether it's your cup of tea or not, it's the only one that is vying for a place in the finale.

Cyrus: solo
If you don't expect his solo to be brilliant you are just bitter because you are mad that your favorite got cast off.  I say this, with him not being my favorite, ever.  His solos are untouchable.

Tiffany: solo
she's fantastic



Top TWO GUYS:Chehon and Cyrus:Sonya
The top two guys routines are always the best!  This is a routine that should be in the fainle for sure!  Hope to see this one on tour!

Someone from Paris:
It's nice that they are showing how people of varied abilities can dance, but honestly I just would rather  see more of the top 4 so I can decide who i want to win!

Chehon: solo
Yes, he is dancing for his life.  Best solo for him so far.

Eliana and Alex: Travis Wall routine!!
This is the positive of when they get to dance with all-stars, the all-stars are if not at the same level, better than them so they get to just let go and fully perform and show what they are capable of.  Travis is a brilliant choreographer and they danced this beautifully!

Tiffany and Chehon: Dmitry rumba
 Beautiful.  I don't really think there are any other words for it than that.

Cyrus and Twitch: Animation
Very cool. First time he got to do a choreographed combination and just be himself. I can't believe Nigel just told us who he wants to win, and I'm honestly shocked.  I thought he was partially the reason Cyrus was still here.

What was your favorite routine of the night? What two dancers do you want to win next week?

SYTYCD9 TOP 6: My POV

Top 6: Sonja

This routine was so good and really gave an opportunity to compare the dancers side by side.



Guest jidge: Christina Applegate
Yay! She's a fun one!

Cole and All-star Melanie:

NOW THIS IS A DANCE ROUTINE! This was perfect in every way. Melanie is a BEAST! And Cole made sure she did not outshine him.  This is just what he needed! Ahhhhhhhh soooooooo good!


Witney solo:

I know this is not popular opinion, but I think she just gets better as the weeks go on!



Tiffany and All-star Benji:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! BENJI!! He is my favorite SYTYCDer ever and I'm SOOOOOOO excited! This dance is so much fun and Tiffany must be having a BLAST! I was so happy to see the signature double cartwheel..it just wouldn't be a Benji routine without one.


Eliana:
She has the best solo of the night so far.  It was magical! She just has this quality about her that makes ballet what I remember seeing it as before I danced, when I was a little girl.

Witney and All-star Marko:

I would like to start this by saying IHOP! (;) if you get that). Also, Marko shaved his head.  Also, remember the time (like only a week or 2 ago) when SYTYCD tour page posted the pic I took of Marko kissing my sister's cheek on their twitter and facebook? Yea me too, that was exciting.  THIS PIECE EMPHASIZES MY POINT THAT WITNEY CAN DANCE MORE THAN JUST BALLROOM! She is outstanding! This piece was magical and brilliant and I loved it! Oh, it is such a good night of dancing! And then tomorrow will come, and I will read online that everyone hated all the pieces and I will be mad at you, because I love them and I love SYTYCD.



Cole:
 Okay Cole, I will admit it: you are a REALLY good dancer.  Well done.



Chehon and Kathryn: 

This piece enchanted me.  I feel like most people won't feel the same, but I don't really care.  It was a story, and one that was well told, and I love stories.


*apparently this piece was stolen from a different country's sytycd that tyce judged on?*

Tiffany:

It was a very pretty solo.



Eliana and All-star Twitch:

Anyone else love that Twitch is seemingly a mainstay on the show like Nigel or Cat? This routine is very cute. Not my favorite routine ever but Twitch killed the character and Eliana did great.



Chehon: 
 He brought way more to the routine than I expected him to; I thought he did great.


Cyrus and All-star Comfort:

This night is shaping up to be SO GOOD! First of all just the concept of this routine, the music, and the dancing is just SPOT ON! So exciting to see Cyrus do a little bit of what he does best.  ALSO, so exciting to see a hip hop female dancer that is not Lauren G!
Nigel's regards to people questioning why Cyrus is still there..he must be reading tumblr.

Witney and Chehon: Chacha

I feel like Chehon did really well, but Witney was trying to compensate really  hard for the little bit he was missing.  The lifts seemed really forced and I don't think we were able to see the best of Witney, and it totally wasn't her fault.

Cyrus solo:

You know what, I have not been a Cyrus fan in particular. He's just been there, I haven't been either pro or con when it comes to him.  However, I am freaking proud of him. He fought freaking HARD to get to this place, and he is still fighting.  His solos are always stand out.


Eliana and Cole: Mia Michaels

From the beginning this routine just crys out that it's going to be great.  Mia is such a good storyteller, and she is so good at not only pushing the dancers, but really using their strengths.


Tiffany and Cyrus: Spencer! Broadway

When it started I thought it would be "greater" than it was, but it was still pretty great.   Cyrus really kept up, I was highly impressed with them.

Dance company:
I want them to help choreograph a routine for Artie on Glee! That would be fantastic!  The lefts and assists were beyond!

Girls: comes down between Witney and Eliana.  Eliana stays and Witney goes home.  I honestly couldn't have made a decision between the girls, too hard.  I think I want Eliana to win now though.  Eliana and Witney were my faves.

Boys: comes down to Cole and Cyrus.  Cyrus will for sure stay.  Everyone is on their feet for Chehon and even both boys seem genuinely excited for him.  Yup, Cyrus stays.  Cole had to have known at that point, it would have been crazy for Cyrus not to when he's never been in the bottom.  But hey, producers can change things...(in my opinion) because Lacey never was in the bottom and she placed fourth.  It's just my opinion, but I don't think they wanted sibling winners, especially in sequential seasons.
