Season 8 Top 12 Results show

Opening number – that is a big skirt she has on. I really like the fans and how they come out on the beats. This is really good. Powerful and hard hitting and the girls look sexy without being gross. I really enjoyed that.

First two couples – Clarice and Jess and Caitlynn and Mitchell, I like Caitlynn and Mitchell, but loved Clarice and Jess last night so I don’t know. I thought Clarice and Jess were great last night so I want them to be safe, even tho I don’t really like Jess. I didn’t like Caitlynn and Mitchell’s first dance, but I think most of that was the story and it failed miserably. Their second dance was really good tho, so idk! I am actually happy Clarice and Jess are safe this week because I loved them last night. I am sad for Caitlynn and Mitchell.

All-stars!!! Oh no! Alex got hurt again. Yes!! Allison, Twitch and Chelsie oh and Comfort too!!!! Yay!! I wish Kent was an All-star.

Next two couples – Melanie and Marko and Ryan and Ricky, obviously I want Melanie and Marko to be safe and I don’t really like Ryan and Ricky so I want them to get out. Good, I don’t think that was a shocker to anyone.

Last two couples – Sasha and Alexander and Jordan and Tadd, I want Jordan and Tadd to be safe even though I didn’t like their second dance. I think Alexander nailed his second dance and for that reason I hope he makes it to next week because he might be ready to shine now. I want Tadd to be safe tho too. Yay, I am glad they are safe and I am pretty sure they will keep Sasha, not sure about Alexander though.

Ok, I think Ryan and Ricky should be out tonight.

Jason Samuel Smith and Group – I love when tappers make the beat. Wow. This is incredible. I do not understand how they can do that and do that so well. I knew that was the girl from before! I knew it.

Solos:

Caitlynn – wish she wasn’t dancing to lady gaga. I like her. She is pretty.

Mitchell – Not sure what he is wearing, but that’s ok I suppose. Wow, that spin into the splits was crazy. I just don’t know about that.

Ryan – I don’t mind this solo, but I don’t really like her and her legs or feet are weird.

Ricky – Ricky might be in trouble. The first half of his solo wasn’t so good. A lot of walking around the stage, his spins and his last trick were good, but idk.

Uh-oh wrong camera shot.

Sasha – this song is catchy so I am more into her solo. I think she will be safe. I think it is time for Ryan to go.

Alexander – whoa he has tights on. Ballet solo, not sure what the judges will think about it. It’s like ballet and Paso Doble all rolled into one. I don’t know he might be in danger.

Nicole Scherzinger or whatever - She is so gross and she isn’t even good at singing. What is with the jump rope move in the dance. Is this her only song? I have already heard her perform this on American Idol I think. I do appreciate that she has some bigger longer shorts on so we can’t see everything even though it is a terrible outfit. I think this is a waste of time.

Results

Girls – Caitlynn looks so nervous. Ryan looks rough right now. Sasha is pretty. I am glad it is Ryan. I feel bad for her, but everyone knew it was coming. I used to like her more, but she just lost something, she got annoying looking and her legs bothered me.

Guys – Mitchell looks very worried, Ricky is trying not to cry everyone loved his solo, I didn’t, Alexander, I am actually a little bit surprised. Not a lot, he has been skating though on Sasha’s coat tails the whole time. It’s just a shame he peaked so late.

I am alright with the results. He never really clicked with me and she got annoying so that is ok.

Season 8 Top 12 Performance

I will get back to the ones I missed, but for now I have this show to comment on. Hope you enjoy.

Cat looks weird tonight. It is an ugly dress.

Wow, Sonya on the panel, that means no Sonya dances. I have never heard of that guy before. Jesse has an interesting suit on.

Sasha and Alexander – Paso Doble – They are missing hands a lot. I don’t think they are actually doing very well. I think it is sloppy. I also felt like they weren’t hitting hard enough to go with the music. Nigel says it is stronger and not as sloppy as I think it was. Oh well. It was a different type of Paso because there was no cape, but it was ok. I enjoyed the concept, I just don’t think they nailed it. The Jesse guy is a little fem for me, but that is ok because he is funny. I don’t see her as all that strong, they say stuff about Sasha being super strong every week, I guess they see her intensity as strength. Maybe she seems so strong because Alexander is not.

Jordan and Tadd – Contemporary – I am surprised this one isn’t all about friends and a relationship. I don’t remember the concept, I wasn’t exactly listening, but I like the dance, it seems cool. I think they are doing well. Yea, I am not sure I get it, but it was good and pretty powerful. Hahaha, Jesse made a funny, saying everybody knew this story and that it was common, and then the “in it to win it” Randy Jackson comment. Good stuff, I think I might like this judge. It is crazy to me how far Travis has come and how he can choreograph things every week and incorporate the dancers’ strengths.

Ryan and Ricky – Broadway – Could be a fun concept. I don’t like her legs, there is something about them that isn’t graceful, it is almost like she is pigeon toed or something. It was alright. I agree with Jesse, it didn’t sparkle, it wasn’t anything really special. I agree with Sonya too, it was just ok. I just don’t think I am really a fan of Ryan anymore.

Caitlynn and Mitchell – hip hop – I am afraid the concept will be overworked, but I hope it is good. I want this to be better. I just don’t think this style works for Mitchell, I don’t believe it at all. Caitlynn is a little more believable, but not much. Ok, I am not sure how that really represented the kids who are pulled off to war, but I mean I guess good for him trying to plug a good cause. I agree with Sonya, the lack of synchronization made it a little bit difficult. I agree with Nigel too, I didn’t get the abductees thing, but hopefully their next dance will be better.

Melanie and Marko – Tango – Good, no story line, just the dance! I am not sure her legs should be that bent with all of the moves. Also I am not sure their arms are high enough. The little move off the side of the stage was pretty cool. Wow that flip thing at the end was crazy and scary. I don’t know what it was about this dance, but it made her legs look stumpy and not graceful. Tremendous in comparison to before, doesn’t necessarily mean it was tremendous, but I guess it was according to Nigel. I liked Mary’s little overview of the different types of Tangos, that was actually interesting to me. I like what Sonya said about them and them being timeless, but I wasn’t wild about this dance.

Clarice and Jess – hip hop – Uh-oh, not sure how this will go. I love lyrical hip-hop. I think I will like the concept. I just hope it comes out in the dance. It is good so far. Wow, Jess can do some sweet moves. I was not expecting him to be good at this. But he is doing well. Aww. I really liked that. And I think they both did very well. I was pleasantly surprised with Jess on this. Mary should definitely not dance in her seat like that ever again. Ahaha. It was so good, it just made me happy and I loved that he was trying to tell her she didn’t need to change.

Sasha and Alexander – jazz – I liked Alexander’s aerial. I think they did better than the first dance. I am pretty sure they definitely messed up the end. Me and Jesse (the judge) could be friends and just talk about SYTYCD all the time. I agree with Sonya, Alexander just finally did it. He was jumping higher and hitting harder this time. I want to know what the ending choreography was supposed to be that Sasha messed up, guess I will never know. Mary kinda nailed it about Alexander, he did just let go.

Jordan and Tadd – Broadway – what is with these crazy stories. Haha what is with the kisses this season? What are they wearing? I think people are on Broadway because they couldn’t be real singers. This song isn’t very good to me. And for that reason, the dance wasn’t good for me. I agree with Sonya, it was underwhelming, and a jumble of things and I didn’t like the music. I think I missed some of the dance while I was typing and making sure I was not having a million typos. I like them, so I hope they are safe.

Ryan and Ricky – Cha-Cha – I am afraid of this one. I don’t think she will be very good. And I only see him as a cheerleader now. Them trying to be sexy with each other just creeps me out because I don’t buy the chemistry. It isn’t as bad as it could have been, but I just can’t get past how awkward she looks with her legs bent. I feel like that dance would have been wayyyyy better with two other dancers, like Jordan and Tadd, I think they would have nailed it. I didn’t even look at Ricky, I was too focused on how awkward Ryan was.

Caitlynn and Mitchell – jazz – hahah she can’t slap him. I think it’s cute that she can’t slap him. Oh nice song. I am thoroughly enjoying this. Haha. Their lift down into the split was really good and powerful (the one Mary mentioned). I think she almost came out of the top of her outfit. I agree with Mary, it was all of those things she mentioned.

Melanie and Marko – contemporary – their outfits made it look like it would be good and simple, lol. I really like the movement, I think it is pretty and very nice. I am not so sure I fully understand the concept, but it is still really pretty and nice. “My brain just exploded” hahaha “It’s like Braille on my arm right now” I thought it was really good. I agree, there is definitely something about these two together. I agree with Nigel, it just felt like they were dancing, not following steps.

Clarice and Jess – jive – eek. Jives are tough. I think Jess will be fine at it, because he is an actor basically. I think Clarice will be fine. She is pretty. I think they are actually doing really well. The lifts scare me because Jess is so small. Wow, Jess’s split thing was crazy. I thought they were actually very together, and basically nailed it. Hahaha I like Sonya and her comments, they are funny and are pretty accurate. I thought they did really well and I think the music helped and that they should be safe.

The people I think should be in danger are, Ryan and Ricky, Jordan and Tadd (unfortunately, because I like them, but their second dance just wasn't good), and probably Clarice and Jess even tho I don't think they should be this week and they surprise me every time. Actually, maybe Sasha and Alexander will be in the bottom. Oh, and Caitlynn and Mitchell might be hurting because of the first dance. I don't really know who it will be, but I definitely think Ryan and Ricky. The only couple I think should be safe this week because of the dances is Clarice and Jess, which is strange because I don't really like him. I wasn't wild about Melanie and Marko's first dance, so they could be in danger too.

Hope you enjoyed this.

I won't be able to post this week because I am at camp and can't watch the show. Stay tuned for three weeks of sytycd updates next week. Sorry!
