SYTYCD Season 9 Top 16 Results

Top 16 Results show: Opening number was cool. Way to go Tice.

I love this show. Even just the opening when they introduce all the dancers is so cool to me.

Tiffany and George: She is doing really well with this I think. I liked it. It was actually hip hoppy as opposed to Tabitha and Napoleon’s other ones this year. Nigel is right about Tiffany, she pretty much owned it. Oh my goodness I can’t stand Mary right now.

Amber and Brandon: Sweet, he is in Step up. I think he might like her. I think his shoes are throwing me off. That was very sensual. I think it would have been better if he didn’t have those dark high top tennis shoes on. Haha, baby making choreography.

Janelle and Dareian: Haha that rap was dumb. Ahh Pascha. She is going to be good at this because she knows how to move her hips. This song is so catchy. That lift looked labored. I think their feet aren’t very good. Oh maybe it is her legs. Yea, it wasn’t great and it was a little slow. She wasn’t as good at it as I thought she would be.

Lindsay and Cole: I like the lighting. Mandy Moore choreographs some pretty routines. It helps that Lindsay is pretty and she has great hair and a cute outfit. That was pretty. They did really well.

Amelia and Will: Mandy has a crush on Will lol. Not really but yea. I usually like Mandy’s contemporary numbers better than her jazz numbers. I don’t think Amelia knows what to do with her face. That was fine. It wasn’t my favorite, but I didn’t hate it. I agree with Nigel, I didn’t feel it either, but I think I didn’t feel it because of her facials. They didn’t seem to match the dance.

Audrey and Matthew: I want to like it, but I think they just aren’t succeeding at it. The part where they were separate was pretty good, but all the part where they were connected and partnering wasn’t great. The second half was better. It was slow, I agree with Nigel on that.

They played a new Peyton Manning commercial during this commercial break, I loved it.

Whitney and Chehon: I like Stacey Tookey, this could be good. Not sure how they will do with it though. I liked the little I speak German too part. Again with the cool lighting and the pretty hair and outfit. That was amazing. Wow. That was sooo pretty. Stacey Tookey – AMAZING. That lift right when the music started was incredible. That took every possible thing that is good about this show and dumped it all into one routine. That is going to be the dance of the night, if not season.

Eliana and Cyrus: Haha she killed her bird that is very bad. His robot belly button is cool. I think this will be a neat routine. Hmm that was interesting. The judges stood up. I don’t know if I liked it as much as the judges, but it was cool. Napoleon and Tabitha created that routine for them. They probably started thinking about it when they saw those two together for the first time, but it’s so crazy that they can just transform their style for whoever they get.

My vote is Amber and George being cut. Amber was good tonight, but I like the other two girls better. I wonder why they didn’t ask Lindsay or George to dance again. I guess they are safe.

I would be so upset if Eliana went home. I would be fine with either guy going, I mean I would prefer George to go, but I don’t think that’s an option.

I did not like the special guests at all. I didn’t like anything about it. Not one thing.

Okay, results. Good, I am so glad they saved Eliana. I know it was a close one after Amber’s dance earlier. I am sad to see Brandon go, but he isn’t as good as the other people. I liked him.

I think Janelle is in trouble next week and maybe Amelia and Audrey. I think Dareian, Will, and George might be in danger next week. I would say Matthew, but I think everybody knows he is a good dancer and everyone thinks he is cute so I think he will be safe.

Off the air for two weeks, ugh! ~Sara

SYTYCD Season 9 Top 20 Results

Top 20 Results: I loved the first dance, the group number. The part where they were in a pyramid and were all in sync was my favorite part. I wasn’t sure who choreographed it, but thought it could have been Nappy-Tabs and that was right. I guess they got sick of hip hop and switched to jazz.

Lindsay and Cole: I was hoping this would be better than it is. She looks like she is trying too hard. Or maybe I just don’t like the choreography. I like these people. I hope they are both safe, not based on this routine, but I do like them.

Amelia and Will: hmm, I don’t know what to say about that one. I liked the movement. I didn’t quite get the story. The partnering was great. I don’t know if I thought it was as great as the judges did, but it was pretty awesome.

Amber and Nick: I love these choreographers. I expect big things from it. I think they have fumbled and stumbled some, but I have liked it so far. I thought they sold it. I mean it was by no means perfect, but I liked it.

Audrey and Matthew: I wasn’t wild about the music and therefore the dancing wasn’t as great as I wanted it. I liked the “stank” steps too. I also thought the best part was the spin she did that he caught her mid spin and stopped it. That was good.

Janelle and Dareian: Love it so far. I think this is going to be great. Nice reversible jacket. That is awesome. Oh my goodness they kissed. GROSS! Lol I loved that. This was so much better than Chris Scott’s first one tonight. I think it could be that these two dancers have more swag than Lindsay and Cole. I loved it. I completely disagree with the judges. I loved it.

Janaya and Brandon: I liked it other than a dude stepping on a girl. I thought the concept was kind of funny. I thought it was pretty good.

Eliana and Cyrus: I am not looking forward to a jive from these two. They are actually doing pretty well I think. I mean I am sure the steps aren’t right. But the vibe is pretty good. Cyrus has moments where he is really getting it and then moments when it is really awkward and uncomfortable. I really like this couple.

Alexa and Daniel: They better be married to be in the tub together. Lol. I liked it. It was really pretty.  I agree that it was pretty but something was missing. I don’t think I agree as much as they do.

Tiffany and George: As much as I didn’t want to like it because these ones are not my favorite. I did like it. She was beautiful in it and he was very debonair. I think they did very well. I enjoyed it.

Whitney and Chehon: I don’t care if this one goes well or not. She looks pretty when she isn’t doing crazy weird facials. It’s hard to not like Bollywood because it is fun and the costumes are always cool. I thought it was good. I kind of really like that there wasn’t a story behind it and that it was just dancing. 

Pretty good show all in all so far. Interested to see how they tackle the results part.

Kind of surprised but kind of not surprised about the bottom 6. I am not happy that a couple could be broken up, but what can you do.

It was so good to see Philip again. I really enjoyed that Step Up dance. It was awesome. I like that they have a big girl dancing, but they could have had her wear pants, even tight pants would have been fine, I just wasn’t wild about the onesie. And by big, I don’t really mean big, just big in comparison to the rest of them. I could have done without the part with the chair and the floor.

Wow, they let Alexa go. Not really surprised about that, kind of happy actually. Brandon will need a new partner. Poor Nick and Daniel.

I think Lindsay is in danger next week and Janelle because the judges didn’t like their dance and maybe Eliana. I think Dareian might be in danger again, because the judges didn’t like it, maybe Brandon, possibly Cyrus but I sure hope not and maybe Chehon, not sure if he did enough this week to be safe next week. We shall see. ~Sara

SYTYCD Season 9 Top 20 Perform

Top 20 opening number:  I liked the music. I would be 100% surprised if that wasn’t a Chris Scott routine.

Glad to see the belly dancer actually being able to dance tonight.

So the sound was off for mine. Hopefully that doesn’t keep happening. I was right about who choreographed that routine.

Wow, so many mess ups and just in the first few minutes.

I am very interested to see how this season will go. I still don’t think I know how this is going to work. I just wish it was the same and there would be a results show on Thursday.

Whitney and Chehon: So I don’t very much care for the first couple. Whitney is definitely not my favorite and I don’t think I care for Chehon. It looks like she has flippers in. (The fake teeth the girls on toddles and tiaras use). They don’t seem too together. Landon thinks he is very stiff. I didn’t feel a connection between the two. To be honest I didn’t watch him too much and just watched her the whole time, but she didn’t seem to look at her partner much at all.

Tiffany and George:  That was pretty good. I find that I am having a hard time thinking of things to say. I am just kind of apathetic about this one I suppose. I don’t agree that George is one of the best in the competition.

I am excited the stepper gets hip hop first.

Janaya and Brandon: WHOA Tabitha is way preggers! They are going to have a crazy awesome hip hop baby. Janaya looks like she is trying pretty hard and that it isn’t natural for her, but I am liking it. Aww Brandon has a very nice smile. Oh Nigel, very funny.

Alexa and Daniel: Alexa is not my favorite. Daniel I have liked so far. I don’t really like Sean Cheeseman anymore. Oh wow an apparatus. I wander if that is OSHA approved. Lol. Uh oh, her top is coming unbuttoned. That was weird. Alexa looks so much better without that stupid red lipstick. I think she just looked like she was concentrating too hard so it was hard for me to really just get to enjoy it.

Amber and Nick: Ballroom getting their genre again. There are lots of lucky people this night. Their lift that went spinning around and around was not very graceful so I didn’t like it very much. None of it was very graceful. I think her arms being so muscular also didn’t connect with me for this dance.

I think I am getting cynical because this is the 8^th season I have watched and I have seen so much of it before.

Amelia and Will: Don’t really care for this couple very much. Oh boy, hip hop for these two. This could be a fun routine. This seems more like a jazz routine than a hip hop routine to me. I think they got lucky by not having to do hip hop. I mean it was a good jazz routine, but I didn’t like it as a hip hop routine. It was pretty cool though. See, Nigel even said it wasn’t hip hop. I think it was a cop out.

Janelle and Dareian: that looked serious in the preview video thing. I actually really enjoyed that. The music was fun and she is super pretty. There was a lot of excitement and power in that number and I enjoyed it.

Eliana and Cyrus: I liked this one. I think they both did it pretty well and played the parts well. (I didn’t write about this one while I watched or after I watched it. I just wrote off of the numbers at the end of the show)

Audrey and Matthew: This one was very good. I really liked it, I really like this couple. (I didn’t write about this one while I watched or after I watched it. I just wrote off of the numbers at the end of the show)

Lindsay and Cole: This paso doble was pretty good. I like her outfit. It was powerful, they matched the music, they were into and powerful like the music was. I really liked it.

So the last four dances were so much better than the first half. I hope the season continues to get better like the dances did on this episode. Can’t wait to see how the rest of this season goes. Hope you enjoy my take on it. Tune in next week to see what I think. ~Sara

SYTYCD Season 9 has begun!

So the new season has started and I have started to blog, but am a little bit behind. I didn't finish commenting on the first show and I don't want to put up the others until I post that one. Hopefully it will be up tonight.
