SYTYCD9: Top 10 my pov

Opening Number:


Tiffany and All-star Brandon disco
Okay, number one the music was an excellent selection. Number two, this is the best disco routine I've seen in some time! What a way to open the show!!


Witney and  All-star Nick Jazz
First, let me remind you all that this girl is a BALLROOM DANCER, and this is a JAZZ routine. Emphasis on jazz.  Nick is one of the standout Jazz dancers from all 9 seasons, so much so in fact...he WON, and Witney truly held her own!  I am becoming more and more of a fan


Cole and All-star Anya cha cha

Dmitry picks the best songs to choreo too that you probably wouldn't guess would be "ballroom" songs.  I think as a not ballroom dancer it would be especially intimidating to ballroom dance along side Anya or Pasha.  Cole held his own pretty well.


Lindsay and All-star Jakob broadway
The lighting was killer in this piece!  Jakob was fantastic! Lindsay was alright.  There was something about her that just seemed very...move.move.move..not fluid enough.  Even though their were many poses that they needed to hit Jakob had a little more of a flow between them.



Will and All-star Kathryn bollywood
Kathryn is one of my favorites, ever.  Bollywood is (almost) always a hit.  What I mostly have to say is Will's  faces were hilarious throughout the routine and he kept me thoroughly entertained. Bravo.



Cyrus and All-star Jamie- Travis Wall contemporary
I LOVED it and I'm not sure if it's because I mostly watched Jamie, or if Cyrus just seemed to dance flawlessly with Jamie. Truth is I don't care, the fact that I couldn't tell means quite a lot.

Chehon and All-star Lauren G- Dave hip hop routine
It was fine.  I think Chehon did a very good job.  He transformed well.  I think the choreography spot lighted  Lauren too much, and that's hard for me to watch.  I know she's one of the alumni that get's a spotlight on anything So You Think related, but it's hard for me to like her seeing as to how she treated the other dancers her season.


George and All-star Allison-Tyce
Kind of reminds me of season 1.  A little prop, a lot of dance, very jazzy.  They both performed on the same level which says a lot about you if you are dancing with Allison.


Eliana and Alex- Stacey Tookey
This is how I've been waiting to see her dance! Thank you Stacey!

Audrey and Twitch- Dave Scott hip hop
I think she did great, and Twitch just gets better as the years go on.

Bottong 2 girls:
Witney and Audrey

Bottom 2 boys:
Chehon and George

Witney:
great music choice, she killed that


Audrey:
She was better, she laid everything on the line
 (can't find a video!)

Chehon:
His solo is reminding me of Ade's solos and I LOVE it! The music combined with the musicality makes it so unique and I love it!

can't find video

George:
He's my least fav of those in the bottom but his solo was the best last week so we'll see.  His solo's might just save him everytime until they are finally like "You're in the bottom every week time to leave."  Yet again, his solo was the best.

can't find video

LA Dance project:
The music started to wear on me towards the end.  It became like terrible grade school organ -esque



Goodbye to: Audrey and George


SYTYCD9 TOP 8: my pov

Opening number: It was great, but for some reason, even when watching it twice, couldn't keep my full attention

Guest Jidge: JESSE TYLER FERGESON!!! SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED! (video contains SPOILERS)

Tiffany solo: Solid, she poured emotion into it, I justdon't know if it will stand out by the end of the night.

Witney and all-star Twitch: hip hop

You can all stop saying Witney can only do ballroom now, not sure how you didn't see this already in all the other non ballroom routines she did but she KILLED this routine and completely kept up with Twitch the entire time. Haha Jesse holds up the cards with dancers names, tell us more production secrets JTF! "I especially love the part where you were waiting for the bus together"


Will solo: I must I did not like Will in the beginning and I don't know why.  However, out of all the dancer's his personality seems the most endearing.  This solo was solid as well.


Cole and Allison:  "Sonya"-I mean that should be the name of the style right?
Why do they give Cole the "adistic" characters.  Allison is BY FAR upstaging him.  Although, this may be his best character acting.  Allison KILLED this!

Lindsay:
Name-throwing like no one's business.  The fact that she is young enough to have had Mark Ballas from DWTS as a teacher should make most everyone one of us feel old.  Her solo was ok, ballroom solos are tough.


Eliana and all-star Ryan: quickstep..aka kiss of death by Jonathan Roberts
Thought: they should use Ryan for the more "formal" ballroom styles and Pasha or Dmitry for the latin styles. Genius  I know.  I think she defeated the kiss of death.  She had just enough story line, personality, and technicality to beat it. Oh Mary Murphy saying her interview that she wanted Eliana to do Quickstep was a joke? Uhuh suuuuuuuuuuuuure. The waterfall trick was great.  Who's the old lady sitting next to Jonathan?  Don't the assistants usually sit next to them??



Chehon: When Cat says ballet dancer does anyone else think it sounds like belly dancer?  She must be missing Janelle.  My eyes are starting to tear up and I'm not quite sure if it's allergies or this dance, but I think he did extremely well.  I know from fb that he wanted his solo to show vulnerability and tell his story and I think he was successful.



Lindsay and Alex: Sonya again

I'm rather excited to see a dance to this song, only Sonya! Usually my sister an I "prance" around like mice to this song, it's um...interesting.  I have a bias against Lindsay because I think she's been the favorite between her and Witney since the beginning and I like Witney better, but she did great. Haha I love JTF, "I'm in fan boy heaven"...me too JTF, me too.


Will and Lauren G: hip hop
Can we just get Sara as a hip hop allstar instead please.  I would like him to be hitting some of the "poses" a little harder but he's doing WAY better than I'd expect.  One of the few times the show I'm watching the contestant instead of the all-star.  I like their set and costuming. Um, Nigel, please stop making extremely inappropriate passes at the GIRLS. Most of them are DECADES younger than you, and even if they weren't, it's creepy and inappropriate, you are an authority figure to them on this show. And this has no place.


*side note* I feel like this season is lacking in Mary Murphy screams.  She seems much more subdued this season.  I hope that she's ok..

Witney:
Okay, maybe Linday's solo was better than Witneys, but I think Witney's choreographed performance was more stand out tonight.


Cole:
ooooooooh Cole wants to be an actor, it all makes sense now.  He is EXTREMELY unique.


Cyrus and Melanie: Mandy Moore jazz

oooooo this could be TOUGH for him.  This might be my least favorite dance of the night.  They did great, the style of the jazz..so Austin Power-y just doesn't mesh well with me.  Cyrus brought tons of personality, but to be honest most of the time I was watching Melanie.



Eliana:
I just love how she makes ballet feel a little more modern.


Chehon and Anya: Argentine Tango
I freaking LOVE watching Argentine Tango!  I mean, he partnered well, but we should expect that right? He is a ballet dancer after all.  Standing O from everyone, it's not an easy feat to dance with Anya and have everyone love your performance. Bravo!
Ok, I feel a little better now that Mary put somebody on the train! Hahaha..nachos,,,hot jalapeno bus! Can JTF be on any week that Shankman isn't???


Cyrus:
Did we doubt that he would have one of the most interesting solos?  I mean, he would be the ONE dancer I would NOT want to go up against in dance for your life, cuz even if your dance was EVERYTHING, his would be one that no one has ever seen before, and that will win out nearly every time.



Tiffany and Ade: Mandy Moore

First of all ADEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Secondly: I LOVE that instead of introducing them you just hear Cat cracking up! Perfection.  By the end of the show I forgot Tiffany was still here, but she had the stand out female performance of the night (non all-star). The end was soooooo unexpected and yet so perfect.  Standing O was BEYOND deserved!!  Why do they keep quoting One Direction?



Bottom two:

Girls: Lindsay and Witney

I was sooooooo expecting them to keep Lindsay and I'm soo excited they kept Witney!

Boys:  Cole and Will

I can't believe this. Cole stays.  I mean he's a great actor, but I don't know..I would just think that Will is more capable of connecting with America.  I think Allison may have saved Cole.

Only Cat could essentially call someone a dog and have it truly mean it to be, and have it be taken as a compliment.

So You Think You Can Dance9: Top 14 Perform (my pov)

Opening number: ??????

2 GIRLS and 2 GUYS leaving to compensate for the hiatus? boo! This makes me nervous

TOUR!! I'm beyond excited guys, last year ended up being my favorite tour even though I wasn't as emotionally attached to the dancers but the experience as a whole was great..except for one major thing: The major lack of organization.  I had meet and greet passes and couldn't for the life of me find out where/when, by the time I finally got to someone with an answer I had missed it! Was told there wouldn't be one after, found it anyway, and didn't get to meet the one dancer I wanted to because he was the last one and they made him go in with just 3 of us left to meet. MAJOR BOO! THIS YEAR THOUGH, the tour is coming back to my home town and a venue that doesn't suck!

In other hiatus news: the SYTYCDtour page posted one of my pics on their fb page and twitter! I have no clue how they got it, apparently I posted it on their page but I realy don't remember. It was the best night ever! (That was the start of my happiness that night and I was BEYOND excited!)

Guest Jidges: The Ballet Boys
edit: I actually really like that they never have seen the original choreo or these dancers perform before.  It gives a fresh perspective to the judging.

All Mia routines, I have known this was gonna go down, and not gonna lie this makes me nervous.  We are already in love with these routines and how the original dancers danced them.  So I'll post the performance and try to post the original afterwards so you can compare if you don't remember.

Oh here the opening number is, thanks for joining us!


Eliana & Cyrus: Mercy, the "Door" routine (Originally danced my Katie and Twitch)

First thought: Of course Cyrus has this routine. You know if Twitch can't dance it just put in glitch? Holy cow their kiss, with how nervous they were they really went for it, more than I think I've seen on this show. I actually am loving this.  They are staying true to it but bringing just enough of themselves to make it different. This actually may put them back in the running.


Tiffany and George: Hometown Glory (Originally danced by Katee and Joshua)

Okay the walk at the beginning gave me goosebumps again but when they looked down at their hands it didn't seem desperate enough. I think Tiffany is killing it but George is holding back, he's not giving into the character as much as Joshua did.  Tiffany killed it, George didn't come close, he partnered her well but I TOTALLY disagree with Mary that he elevated the role.  Am I the only one that didn't love George in this routine?  I mean, I guess when they slow-mo it he looks better...


Amelia and Will: the butt dance (Randi and Evan!!)
Will's favorite is the best..hahaha I love how he was like "I'll never kidnap you Nigel!"  "She sticks it out really well.  Like a french poodle." hahaha...oh Mia!
They are such different dancers than Randi and Evan, and I totally didn't see this coming but this was PERFECT for them!  They danced this brilliantly!

Janelle and Dareian: the bed routine (originally performed by Kherington and Twitch)

Dareian is freaking KILLING this!  Janelle isn't doing too shabby either but I think Dareian is dancing circles around her.  I think perhaps the ballet boys hit it on the head that the routine's movement is mostly about the guy so Janelle had it going against her in terms of standing out.

Audrey and Matthew: Time (Lacey and Neil)

This may be the hardest routine to stand up to so far (and judging from what I've seen on Twitter I'm right).  I actually (can't believe I'm saying this) liked it better.  I bought it more, I noticed the little intricacies, the desperate moments.


Witney and Chehon: the bench routine (Travis and Heidi)

This is probably the one I'll be most judgmental of and in 3 places, under/on top of the bench, the run leap off the bench and, the flower at the end.  The bench part sold, the leap...eh kinda, the flower, kinda.  Overall though it filled my heart just like it did the first time.

Lindsay and Cole: Addiction (Kayla and Kupono)
Ask my friend C, I share this routine with people A LOT, ugh Mia is SO good! I feel like it's not as fluid.  I'm ok with Cole making it really different.  I just feel like they are really like move. move. move. And it's just not as fluid, which in turn takes away from the strength. Kayla also just seemed more desperate.  Don't get me wrong, Lindsay is killing this for a ballroom dancer, I would be shocked if I learned she didn't have any other kind of training.


Bottom 3
Girls: Janelle, Amelia, and Lindsay
Boys: George, Dareian, and Matthew (WHAT?)

Phew, they all get to dance again..although I'm SHOCKED Matthew is in the bottom-he was GREAT the first two weeks and freaking good the third, I really want them to give Dareian a chance.  I think he is a phenomenal dancer and so different than anyone else and they just can't look past his toes!


Amelia's solo
excellent song choice.  The last like 6 seconds of her routine were so great.


Janelle's solo:
She is such a great performer.

Lindsay's solo:
Her song choice is, I don't know, nothing can replace Danny and Lacey.  I like her outfit, and she is doing great.  I always think the ballroom solo's are the hardest and she killed it.

George's solo:
His solo was everything! So now I'm confused, because I am just not a fan of his choreographed routines, but his solo's are always top par.

Dareian's solo:
He'll probably leave tonight because of his toes, dumb but true.  His solo also isn't touching George's.

Matthew's solo:
YUP. That's all I have to say about that.

Wait I forgot four people are going, crap!  My guesses are...actually I have no clue.  I just really don't even know.  My heart is torn guys!

So Lindsay stayed; as did George.  Wait, WHAT? Granted he DID have the best solo, but still...
This is the thing though, two alternates have to come along on tour.  Guesses as to who it will be?  What all stars do we think will grace us with their presence next week?

Ps. I really liked that they had the dancers tell their favorite SYTYCD moment; it made me feel connected to them.

REMEMBER: to watch live and let's keep the ratings up and our show on the air!

SYTYCD9: Top 16 (My POV)

Group piece: Tyce Diorio
Perfect piece for Amelia, glad the didn't feature her too much though and it was spread out evenly.  I liked it but I don't know how it will go over with the general viewers, the music was slow paced.

Cat says she has bad news to deliver. She tells us there will be a 2 week break for the Olympics after this week and that tonight we will loose two more dancers.  Not new news.

Guest jidge:
Christina Applegate, love that they are bringing back the greats from last year and adding some new great guest jidges.

*Thank you SYTYCD for bringing back a little more of a "get-to-know" before hand

Tiffany and George: Tabitha and Napolean Hip hop
"Adventures in Babysitting"
Love the concept. Great movie.  Love the set up. SYTYCD is going over the top in props this year.  Here's a more hard-hitting hip hop routine from NappyTabs for all of you that have been complaining nonstop since week one. "Could you make that soupier"-love her!



*What the heck, we are in a severe drought all summer and it only decides to "maybe storm" when SYTYCD and beep out warnings that there is a watch every time a dance starts.  Second week in a row!

Amber and Brandon: Ray Leeper Jazz routine
New pairing this week.
First week I have really liked these two!  The choreo was spot on, and they may have gotten really lucky with this pairing.

Janelle and Dareian: Cha Cha with Pasha!
I think Janelle was great.  Dareian was alright, a little soft, I would have liked to see him a little stronger.  I think Mary hit it on the head when she said there was no real chemistry between the two.

Lindsay and Cole: Contemporary with Mandy Moore
"Wild Horses"
This girl is a ballroom dancer? You would never know from this piece.  Cole too, he's a martial artist and you would never know.They danced it beautifully!

Amelia and Will- Jazz with Mandy Moore
Hahaha Mandy dancing with Will is hilarious. I don't know that there is anything bad to say about their dancing.  They were great, but there was something lacking in the genuine area about it that I'm having trouble placing.There was a lack in connection somewhere.


Audrey and Matthew: Salsa
It will be nice to see them challenged a little bit more and see if they are as great as they have been the last two weeks.  Although there was a disconnect between the music and the dance at times I don't think it was as bad as the judges made it out to be.  I in fact thought they did quite well.

Witney and Chehon: Stacey Tookey Contemporary
The moment when they danced in the silent and then the music and the lights came on during the lift was MAGIC!  Best piece of the night so far! Hands down!  These ballroom girls are crazy good, you couldn't tell that she wasn't a contemporary dancer either!  Yup, the kept the right dancers last week.

Eliana and Cyrus: Hip hop with NappyTabs
Love the take off the music box, so clever with her being a ballerina and all.  Love the remix of the song.  Eliana did such a great job at learning from what Cyrus is really good at.  This is what this show is all about and why dancers of different styles are paired together. Again stop complaining about the soft hip hop, Nappytabs does freaking everything!  You got what you want now!  This dance was everything!


Bottom 3 
girls: Amber, Lindsey, Eliana
boys: George, Brandon, Dareian

(to those using this to catch up Lindsey and George were not asked to do a solo)

Amber's solo: Super strong, but I think she's going home tonight.  She peaked too late in a competition that is really strong.


Eliana's sole:  She makes ballet so relate-able, in a culture where it is often pushed to the side.  It is the basis of all technique.

Brandon's solo: He showed his personality but there was nothing that made be go WOW. He'll be going home tonight for sure.

Dareian's solo: And  this is why he made it to top 20.  He'll stay, this week at least.


Jungle Jazz guest performance piece
(shown in above video)




Amber and Brandon go home.  Glad they brought the good-bye packages back.  Sorry that last weeks dancer's missed out though.

SYTYCD9: Top 20 Part 2 (My POV)

Opening number: Beautiful People.  Tabitha and Napolean are REALLY branching out.  More power too them every other style can do it so why not them! I enjoyed this piece.


Wait, what?  Before we voted for pairs but now we vote for them as individuals and they are introduced as pairs?  Does this seem backwards to anyone else?

SHANKMAN IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!! *Mary Murphy scream!*

Hang in there with me..the weather service seems to know every time a routine is starting so I'm gonna have to watch some of these online so I can hear the music instead of the beeping and warnings

Lindsay and Cole- "teeth"
Dentist routine...it was good but not something I'd go crazy over.  They did a good job with the characterization.


Will and Amelia- Sonya routine
Beautiful, I think Sonya did a great job at really showing what they do best.


Amber and Nick-Argentine Tango
Who else has done a dance to this song? I swear I recognize it! They did a solid job when it comes to the routine.  However, I don't feel any investment into these two dancers.




Audrey and Matthew-Sonya
Yup!  If we were voting couples they would no doubt be number one last week and this!  They are just winning when it comes to choreo! It is truly theirs to loose, especially Matthew being with everyone's obsession with the doppelgangerness.


Janelle and Dareian- hip hop
It was so feel good and I really liked it!  The "jidges" (yes, I couldn't go one blog entry without saying it) got it right when they said they needed to buy into the characters more. Overall though I enjoyed it.



Janaya and Brandon-broadway
I don't like the idea behind this routine.  Don't see the need to go crazy over the "50 Shades of Magic Mike" frenzy.  So going in I was expecting not to like it.  However, I really like the routine, that lift near the end was CRAZY!


Eliana and Cyrus-Jive
Not really feeling the music.  Week 2 that they didn't win me over.  This makes me so sad because I had such high hopes for Eliana.

*We learn that there is a new format in picking routines.  The dancers draw a number out of a hat and then choose their routine.  Wonder how much of this is true after watching certain interviews as of late..  Plus I wonder how challenging this is to the dancers if they consistently draw and early number. Hmm..

Alexa and Daniel- contemporary with Dee
The music was beautiful.  I dance was beautiful, but I didn't get it.  I think Adam hit it spot on "It was really beautiful but a little chilly."

Tiffany and George-Fox trot
A dance like this is hard to have in the first couple weeks.  Even if you do great it doesn't quite grab the attention of the voters.  Judging from the scream, they should be fine though.

Witney and Chehon-Bollywood
Bollywood just looks like it would seriously hurt the next day!  They did fantastic!


Bottom 3

Girls: Janaya, Alexa, Witney (I think Amber should have been in the bottom)
Boys: Nick, Daniel, Chehon

As of just the first week I think that Janaya and Nick should go.

Step up Revolution:
I am so excited to see this movie!  Flashmobs are really inspirational to me!  Plus, Kathryn was one of my favorites her season!

Witney is saved.  Janaya really stepped it up this week.  Alexa had everything against her because of making it so far last year, and she really did a great job.  It's a shame.  I think every week is going to be hard everyone is so great this year!

Cehon is saved and he totally deserved it after this week but I'm SO BUMMED that Daniel is leaving!

Friday, July 13, 2012

SYTYCD9: Top 20 (My pov)

The competition is on! Excited to see how the new layout will work!

Guest "jidge": Kenny Ortega, he is a professional in this particular business so I expect to hear some solid critiques from him.

Group piece:  So intricate! What a way to start the season off! I love when Christopher Scott is on the show!



Witney and Chehon: Samba choreographed by Louis Van Amstel
Lucky Witney, starting off in her specialty.Chehon seemed to hold his hold.  In the middle of the routine his energy seemed kinda flat in comparison to Witney's.  I think Nigel's comment hit the nail on the head that he needs to give in more to the music.  Hope he figure's out what that will mean to him, because once he let's his personality fully come out he will blow everything away.


Tiffany and George: Contemporary, by Sonya
The story line sounds gorgeous.  Sonya paints pictures. I watched this twice before watching the judges comments.  It's just beautiful.


Janaya and Brandon: NappyTabs, hip hop
Haha..Brandon's face when his 9 seconds ended..he looked so sad!  It was a solid routine.  NappyTabs are such great story tellers.



Alexa and Daniel: Sean Cheesman, Jazz
I am first of all SO excited for this pairing! I expect this routine to be great. This routine has the feel for me that some of the great jazz routines from season 1 and 2 did, and that makes me happy.  I wish it had a little more of that story feel to it though.  Are the costumes hot pink or red? I can't tell.  I particularly like how they used the prop at the end. If the dancers keep dancing like this,it really might come down to the choreography and solos when it comes to who goes.  It's not their fault that there weren't any "breaths" in the choreography.  I hope that the voters realize how great this was.  Okay, thanks Mary, the costumes are in fact red.



Amber and Nick: Jason Gilkison, Viennese Waltz
Nick's name almost took up the full nine seconds.  Another ballroom dancer get's their genre.  Looks like it might be tougher for him though.  Love how the routine starts.  The music selection added so much to the piece, or the dance to the music I suppose.  The end seemed somewhat random.  Best quote EVER goes to Nigel: "He was a proper little Abby Lee Miller from Dance Moms" (talking about how Jason spoke during rehearsal).  Even Better that ALM herself was in the audience!



Amelia and Will: NappyTabs, hip hop
OMW, Will strongly believes he's Simba. Cracked me up so bad!
The story line and their personalities seem likely to be a winning combination.  Nappytabs went outside the box a bit, and I like it.  That lift was crazy!  Was this hip hop?  Can we agree to call it hip hop jazz?  It still freaks me out every time they say "Tabitha."  Best ever was one day at work and old man saw my name badge and said "oh like..." and I cringed waiting for the wrinkle of the nose and a witch joke.  However he surprised me and ended with "...like the choreographer on So You Think You Can Dance?" I was beyond happy to be compared to her! 


Janelle and Dareian: Sean Cheesman, African Jazz
I am loving the endings of these 9 second takes.  I'm super siked for African Jazz!  Janelle suddenly looks so young to me.  I love, love, love, loved this routine!  Can someone teach me African Jazz?  I need to find someplace that has a class in this!  Okay, yes this routine was breath at the beginning breath at the end again, but it felt to be more of a story, or maybe I just really like African Jazz.


National Dance Day: July 28th.  I really wish I lived in LA so I could go to the Dizzy Feet event, it sounds Amazing!

Eliana and Cyrus: Tyce, broadway
Okay, this pairing sounds really exciting too!  "Finger's crossed, I'm not lying" -Tyce.  I don't know how I feel about this.  It was good, but it didn't overly excite me.  Apparently I was the only one?  What did you think?  I do agree with Nigel's comment on Eliana setting the bar for the girls, and that we didn't get to see her full capabilities in this routine.



Audrey and Matthew: Contemporary, Travis

I'm so excited to watch this routine! I've seen so many gifs from this piece.  It's set aboard the Titanic! It's a Travis Wall piece!  I'm about to burst!  Emmy here we come!  This dance was EVERYTHING!  Excuse me while I go watch it 5 million more times! opiashdpifheoi;j! Gah! I can't even!

WATCH THIS!!!!


Lindsay and Cole: Paso, Jason Gilkison
WHAT a start! I love the slow, quick, slow.  The musicality is SO spot on, the lighting and everything just solidifies this piece.  Definitely the best paso ever on this show!  All the ballroom dancers drew ballroom.


My bottom 3:
Boys: Chehon, Nick, Cyrus
Girls,\: Janaya, Amber, and ???

What do you think? Who's in the bottom? What was your favorite routine of the night? Standout quotes?  Can we just make Adam Shankman a permanent jidge and have a rotating guest 4th that only talks if they have something really significant to say?

Don't forget to watch the show live! This is so important! I know we all have dvr and tivo, and I am guilty to starting a show 15 minutes late to not have to watch commercials.  However, if we want another season we MUST WATCH LIVE!  The ratings really need to be much higher!

No SYTYCD this week :( Signature Moves

I hope you all had a safe and happy 4th! You know that there is never no dance news in the world of SYTYCD; the most recent being the videos of the dancer's signature moves.  Overall I was a little disappointed when compared to the signature moves of seasons past.  Nevertheless here are my favorites:

Eliana-She is just so polished.  Watcher her I feel like she already won.

I like how she puts her own touch to a very popular move on the SYTYCD floor.

Dareian-I feel like this should be a "warning: do not try this at home."  He's the only one where it seemed like the explanation didn't prepare you for what he was about to do.
Daniel- I just like Australian accents to be completely honest. Haha and he named it a "whackback."  How many other dancers named there signature moves? None!
Alexa- She had some punch to it.



Here are the rest if you are interested:
Amelia-(I'm interested in how she is in rehearsals. She's really good but you can tell she's talking to a person behind the camera. It will be interesting to see if she starts to play to the camera.)
Janelle
Chehon

Tiffany

Brandon

Cole

Janaya

Amber


Witney.
Will
Nick

Matthew

Lindsay

George

Cyrus "Glitch"

So what's the verdict? What was your favorite signature move?


Don't forget to watch live! We need to get ratings up so we can watch a season 10 next year!!!
