SYTYCD10 Top 18/17: My POV July 9, 2013

Opening number: "Pretty Face"
Love the musicality of this piece, how "big moves" come during pauses in music.SHUT UP! It was choreographed by Sonya AND Christopher Scott...that explains a TON.  Of course this dance was amazing!

Jade leaves the competition due to injury.

No one likes that the dancers went home before the show started!  No surprise there.  Glad that they really listen to the audience and switched it up right away.

Guest jidges: Erin Andrews and straight up Paula Abdul is sitting next to Nigel!

Bottom 3:
Guys: Bluprint, Curtis, Jade (None are going home this week because of Jade's injury)
Girls: Jamine Mason, Jenna, Alexis

Dance for your life:
Alexis: Like the music choice, which I think is harder for tap. She's really engaging and is a good performer.
Jasmine: she's dancing really big
Jenna: I keep forgetting she's in the competition to be honest. Ballroom contestants are always great performers. Not blown away, but solos for them are hard and she was solid.

Amy and Fikshun Paso Doble by Jean Marc
"Tractional Dominance"
Amy just slays everything but Fikshun is really keeping up!

Jasmine H and Aaron Broadway by SPENCER!
I'm actually really impressed by how good they are at Broadway.  Surprising a little bit, and they are sooo smooth.

Makenzie and Paul Contemporary by Lindsay (sorry if I spelled your name wrong girl but they didn't put it up)
Very pretty.

Jasmine M and Alan Jazz by Sean
Love everything about this. I hope she stays this week!

Jenna and Tucker Hip hop by Keone and Mari (really can they spell these names for me please?)
LOVE the song choice! LOVE the costumes. LOVE the choreo, somewhat a mix of pop jazz and hip hop. Jenna could maybe save herself with this.

Malece contemporary by Sonya
Amazing, so glad she is getting to dance with Marco (IHOP!)

Hayley and Curtis Samba by Jean Mark
Is it just me or is some of this out of placingly slow?

Alexis and Nico Jazz by SPENCER!
She's killing it, these girls are fighting to stay for sure.

Mariah and Bluprint hip hop by Luther Brown
Mariah killed it

Going home:
Jasmine is leaving...WHAT

My faves were Jasmine and Alan! and Tucker and Jenna! What were yours?

SYTYCD 10: Top 20 turns to 18: My POV (July 2, 2012)

Opening:I  feel like I'm watching a insanely interesting ballet! It's very Wade-esque. Like a newer version of Ramalama.

Guest jidge: Christina Applegate

They're getting rid of them at the top of the show and still making them dance?

Bottom 2 girls: Mariah and Brittany
I like Mariah better but I think Brittany is dancing better

Bottom 2 guys: Carlos and Jade
Oh Carlos thank you, I've been waiting to see someone to dance to this song!

Going home: Carlos and Brittany
I'm really upset about this, I REALLY think they are sending the wrong guy home.

Hayley and Curtis Jazz by Ray Leeper
I am thinking they may just be a power couple. Knocking everything out of the park

Jasmine H and Aaron: Lyrical hip hop by Nappytabs
really good. Jasmine was fantastic.

Malece and  Jade Bollywood by Nakul
Malece is doing really good at this!

Alexis and Nico: Contemporary by Stacey Tookey
OMW a sequel to one of the best dances! So excited! I want to see Robert and Kathryn do it though!  Soooo beautiful!!

Brittany and Bluprint Broadway by SPENCER!
Spencer is a fave so this is exciting!  My bookish heart is LOVING this routine! Do eligible bachelors hang out in the library? I'm barely paying attention to the actual dancing because I'm just so in love with this idea! Brittany was great!

Jasmine Mason and Alan Tango by Miriam and Leonardo
Love the music! Alan is really strong! Jasmine seems a little stiff but her performance is spot on.

Makenzie and Paul Jazz by Sean Cheesman
OMW I LOVE IT at just 16 counts in! Makenzie is fantastic!

Mariah and Carlos Contemporary Stacey Tookey
Mariah is doing great, and I mean GREAT as a hip hop dancer dancing contemporary. Carlos should not be leaving, and I am VERY unhappy about this! "You keep dancing like this you're gonna end up on the other side of the rainbow"- Mariah

Amy and Fikshun Hip hop by Nappy Tabs
They are killing it! Amy had nothing to worry about!

Jenna and Tucker Chacha by Dmitry
They are dancing well, but there is something about it I'm not loving. I don't know if I'm losing connection with the story, or if I feel like they are overacting.

My fave this week is hard, kinda a tie between the sequel and the library. What was yours?
