Disclaimer, these are my opinions and I have been watching this show since season 2. Things are starting to get repetitive, but I still love the show. I have people who I have loved in the past who have set the bar very high for the people who have followed. I also feel that the stage from the first 5 seasons was way better than the stage for these past three. No one will ever be able to live up to Allison, Ivan, or Dominic, but I will try to appreciate the new dancers too.
Here are my comments on the dances:
Jordan and Tadd- Afro-jazz- This dance didn’t seem very African to me. I like them though. He reminds me of Dominic, because he looks like him. They weren’t very together throughout the whole thing. The tricks were cool. Overall, not bad. Good start to the show.
The third judge, Megan Mullally, drove me crazy, she is super nasal-y and gross sounding which is very distracting.
Sasha and Alexander – contemporary- I like the music. I liked it. I really liked the movements, the end of it was good, powerful. Travis always seems to do a very good job and makes the dancers look very good.
Sometimes I wish Cat didn't say the things she says. Oh man, Mary bothers me. I feel that Mary plays this loud screaming lady and is usually more positive and extreme than necessary. I think the show would be better if she didn't feel the need to be this screaming obnoxious person. This other chick (Megan) better not be on here much more, I can’t stand her voice. It makes it hard to listen to what she says.
Clarice and Jess – Broadway – I thought this was pretty good. I could have used a little bit more of him being into her and her being into him. I didn’t really get the story that they told at the beginning, but it was good. I liked it pretty well. The pirouette Nigel mentioned was very cool. I think I might have liked this routine more if it was people I liked better. If Kent and Lauren from last season did it, it might have been more dynamic and better. (Speaking of Kent, I am pretty sure he was there helping Tyce teach them the dance, and I am pretty sure Jamie from season 3 was helping Travis). I also feel that a different outfit on Clarice might have helped.
Ryan and Ricky – Lyrical hip hop – Love that he said “cray cray” haha, I love that phrase. Love this song, don’t know if I love this version. I am a fan of lyrical hip hop, have been since Ivan and Allison did it season 2, not wild about Ryan’s faces. I think I will have to watch this one again. I think other people would have done it better (i.e., Lauren, Dominic, Ivan, Allison, Katee, Joshua, etc.), but that’s okay, I just have some people who have taken up residence in my heart, lol. I find Ryan's boots with the dress unattractive and slightly distracting. I just muted that other lady. Landon thinks she needs to be taken off the show.
Caitlynn and Mitchell – jazz – Gotta love Sonya. I completely understand how Caitlynn was not having a good time with him because he was so sweaty, GROSS! I would have liked to have seen Mitchell perform this. Welp, looks like Robert is an all-star this season for when it gets down to the top ten, at least that’s my guess. Everything about this is very Sonya. I like the moves and the lifts/tricks. It was alright, it wasn’t as powerful as I think it might have needed to be, and I think part have that might have been the music. Mary thought it was though so idk.
Miranda and Robert – Latin- “Woooo” lol, he is totally the Steve Urkel of SYTYCD. And I said that before I saw him on stage. She lost an earring, I really don’t know why they even give them huge earrings like that, they always come off. She was trying to take the other one off or something and it really bothered me. I liked that, it was very entertaining, idk how technically sound it was, but I enjoyed it. I think I liked it so much, because the song was good. It was a really good thing he caught her at the end. I find Robert to be too annoying with the "woo" and working the crowd, I think he needs to stop.
Missy and Wadi – jazz – This is Landon’s favorite guy. Sean Cheeseman is weird when he explains things. Haha he touched her boob, totally inappropriate. That is a no-no. I never wanted to hear this song, but what can you do I guess. He is so cool! I liked that pretty good. They got off a little towards the end, then got back together and then got off again. I thought it was cool that Wadi got to do some of his tricks. I thought they did really well. Mary is so annoying.
Melanie and Marko – contemporary – She is one of my favorites. I like it so far and it basically just started. It was crazy how still she stayed when he picked her up and spun her around. Her lines are so pretty. The song is pretty, idk what any of the words really say, I haven’t really been listening. I really liked this one. That could possibly be my favorite one Travis has choreographed. That was so good! Wow, I don’t know about that whole best girl on the show, ever thing. Maybe this season, but there have been some realllllllly good girls on this show.
Ashley and Chris – hip hop – This could be really good. (Cat looks likes shes wearing a night gown.) Haha loved it so much when he kicked the flowers. She is good at this style. She reminds me of cousin Ashley from Fresh prince. They did the lil wheel chair thing Nigel did at the auditions. I enjoyed it. She is so cute. This one just made me smile and I think that is a good sign. To me it didn't matter if they were perfectly in sync or not, but they did very well.
Iveta and Nick – quick step – She has been doing quick step for as long as I have been alive. This dance seems a little awkward. His feet are fine, but when he partners with her he seems uncomfortable and flail-y. That was okay. Not my favorite of the night that’s for sure. Wow, they all liked it. It was enjoyable. He is a tap dancer so he should be good at the footwork. She is so legit at what she does. Landon and I think she is probably better than the choreographers. At least at the 10 dances she is a champion at. After watching it back for a second time, i thought it was actually better than I thought it was the first time. They did a good job. I am looking forward to seeing what else they can do.
Good first show. I think the Afro jazz, the Broadway, and the quick step might be in trouble.
I think it will be a good season, as long as Mary isn’t too annoying the whole time.
Hope you all enjoyed it!
Tune in tomorrow for the results show recap.
