SYTYCD Season 10 Top 18 Results Top 16 Perform

Top 18 Results and Top 16 Performances

Opening number: I like it. Fik-Shun is awesome. I wonder what they are landing on behind that thing. That was cool. I think Sonya and Chris Scott should work together more often. I thought I didn’t see Jade out there. I am sad for him, but I think it is probably for the best. He was going to keep being in the bottom, he just wasn’t good enough. I liked the DREAM – Dance Rules Everything Around Me thing he said. I don’t love that it rules everything around him, something else should, but I still like it. It would make a good t-shirt.

I am not thrilled about the judging panel tonight.

I am glad they are doing the results at the end.

Bottom three girls: Jasmine M., Jenna, Alexis. Bottom three guys: Jade, BluPrint, Curtis.

Not really surprised by any of those. I think it was a great idea not to cut a guy because Jade was already out, makes complete sense.

Solos – Alexis – I like her solo alright. I am not sure she needed to wear a belly button ring. Jasmine – her solo is fine, seems hectic a little bit. It also looks like her skirt was starting to come off. Jenna – her solo is fine. I wasn’t wowed by any of the three solos. They aren’t “dancing for their life” like the judges want and like we have seen in the past, but they were alright.

Amy and Fik-Shun – Paso Doble – I am worried that being the first couple might be bad for them. People usually forget the first dance, or at least I do. Hopefully that won’t happen this week. I like the music because it is intense. I am glad to see some of the typical Paso moves in this dance still even though it isn’t a typical Paso. There were a couple awkward moments, but I thought it was really good. I don’t think I will listen to the judges the second time through this week. I just really like this couple. I think they should be the winners this year. I did think it was interesting that Paula knew Fik-Shun from before and from her own show.

Aaron and Jasmine H – Broadway – I like this. I think they danced it well. They were pretty together on the parts where they were supposed to be in sync. I thought it was good. I think they will be safe. I also think it is funny that Erin mentioned the big head posters and that your nose looks bigger. I skipped the rest of the judges’ comments. I just don’t care this week to listen to what they have to say.

Makenzie and Paul – Contemporary – New choreographer, this could be interesting. Mary will cry at the end of this. It is so pretty. I love the lighting, the costumes, the music is good. The emotion is wonderful. The lift where she went up on his back and then slid back down was really cool and looked effortless. I thought it was beautiful. I was right, Mary cried.

Jasmine M. and Alan – Jazz – I think this is a fun concept and it should be fun. I think it is fun. They are doing fine with it. It is weird, but I like it. Alan is growing on me. I don’t have much to say about that one. It was enjoyable and fun.

Jenna and Tucker – Hip-Hop – New choreographers again. This should be interesting. Haha, Jenna said America doesn’t know what is coming for them, is that Comfort, meaning she was going to do really well at it. Hahaha that was funny. This seemed jazzier to me than hip-hop, but I like it. The judges said there are lots of different styles to hip-hop so that makes it okay. I liked it. It wasn’t my favorite piece, but it was good.

Malece and Marko – Contemporary – It almost isn’t even fair that she gets to dance with Marko because the judges love him so much. It is really good. It would not have been this good with Jade. I don’t know why the judges gave it a standing ovation, and went so crazy over it, but it was good. I liked the music and the lighting. I like that Malece was about to cry because she was overwhelmed by the support and the people standing for her. I thought it was good.

Hayley and Curtis – Samba – I am pretty sure she shouldn’t be wearing that dress out of the bedroom. There isn’t much to the dress. I don’t think I actually watched the dance because I was distracted by the dress. I think they did fairly well though. The lift, spin was cool. I like it. I thought it was good.

Alexis and Nico – Jazz – I like this. I think they are doing well. They were pretty in sync, which is a good thing. I liked it.

Mariah and BluPrint – Hip-Hop – I loved the beginning of it. It didn’t stay awesome. It was good. I think they did the choreography well, I just don’t think I loved the choreography. It was fine for me. Not my favorite. I agreed that BluPrint needs to give more and emote more.

Results: I am glad they saved Jenna right off. I am surprised they kept Alexis after Nigel said the choreographers have to keep telling her what to do.

Bottom three girls next week – Alexis, Mariah, Hayley

Bottom three guys next week – BluPrint, Curtis, Nico

Good show again this week, not as good as last week, but still good.  Also, I am thrilled SYTYCD is taking a week off, because I will be at camp and wouldn’t have been able to see it. 

SYTYCD Season 10 Top 20 Results and Top 18 Performance

SYTYCD Top 20 Results/Top 18 Performances

Opening number: I always like trying to guess who choreographed it. I think Tyce did this one. I think Fik-Shun is awesome even at this. I like the costumes and the lighting and the music. I have no idea what the dance is about, but I like it.

Results: I don’t like the results at the beginning, especially since they actually find out who is going home at the beginning and not just the bottom three boys and bottom three girls at the beginning and the actual results at the end. I don’t think it is fair to the ones who get eliminated. Bottom three girls: Mariah, Brittany, and Makenzie. Bottom three boys: Carlos, Jade, and Alan

I was surprised by Brittany and Makenzie. I am glad the judges can save people and I think they got those saves right.

Solos: Mariah – she was about to cry, when she found out she wasn’t saved and had to do a solo. Krump solos are hard to do, but I think she did alright. I wasn’t blown away by it. Carlos – his solo is okay, I am not wowed by it. Brittany – ballroom solos are hard to do as well, but I think she is doing alright. I like her. She almost fell over at one point during her solo. I am surprised she was in the bottom to begin with; I think she did really well last week. I liked her ending move.  Jade – his solo isn’t making my jaw drop like his other solos have. It is almost like he is trying to add other things he has learned and be more fluid, but it just wasn’t great for me.

I was surprised by who they kept and who got eliminated. I think Jade probably should have gone home, but that is alright. I can’t believe they are going to have to dance with the people who are still in the competition.

Hayley and Curtis – Jazz – She says she doesn’t know how to be sexy, but with that outfit I don’t know how you can be not sexy. I think it is pretty good. I think they are doing much better than last week. I didn’t like last weeks. He grabbed her booty, a lot. I didn’t disagree with what Nigel said. I think I would like more of what Mary said if she didn’t say it so crazily. I like Christina Applegate as a judge because she actually knows dance more than some of the others, she knows performance too. It is good. She always gives good advice and wants the dancers to be even better and to improve more. She is a good addition to the show.

Aaron and Jasmine – Hip-Hop – this is alright. I don’t love it. Not sure I will love anything they do. There is just something about her that I don’t like when she dances. I think maybe this time it was her outfit. I didn’t love it, but it was alright. I didn’t feel any chemistry; I don’t know what Mary was talking about. I disagree with Christina about them being the couple to beat. I don’t agree with Nigel either on this one.

Jade and Malece – Bollywood – this could be interesting. I always love the costumes with Bollywood. Bollywood routines are just always enjoyable. Camera went crazy toward the ceiling in that number. That doesn’t happen often on this show. I really appreciated that Christina spoke directly to Jade and basically called him out to be better and to try harder. I agree with Nigel that Jade needs to try harder on a solo if he has to do one again. I like that he asked what Jade’s friends will say. He did seem to pick it up pretty well.

Alexia and Nico – Contemporary – I love Stacey Tookey, I like that they are finishing the story from the previous season. It is going to be good. I liked it much better once they came together than when they were separate. I liked it. I didn’t think it was the best one I have ever seen, but it was good. I am glad that Nigel liked Nico this time. I love that Christina noticed the change in the turns.

Brittany and BluPrint – Broadway – poor Brittany having to do this dance after being kicked off. Haha, BluPrint made a funny about being in the library and needing to study. I like this song. I think Brittany is really good. Saw a camera again. I liked it. I thought it was cute. I agree with Mary, BluPrint does need to give more. I love Christina’s advice, she isn’t just fluffy or for entertainment. She is a true fan and I appreciate that.

Jasmine M. and Alan – Argentine Tango – I love these choreographers, they are so good. Everything they choreograph is good. I hope they keep up. They pick really good music too. You just can’t take your eyes off the screen when they choreograph. I think Jasmine isn’t doing a great job and that it would have been a lot better with Brittany or Jenna because they are ballroom. But it was good. The last lift was impressive. I think Miriam and Leonardo might be the best choreographers on the show. Them, Nappy Tabs, and Stacey Tookey, who am I kidding, there are a lot of really good chorepgraphers. It was good. I liked it.

Makenzie and Paul – Jazz – I don’t love that they gave her bangs and I hate that she is wearing lingerie. The dance seems a little spastic to me. I don’t love it. I think they did it fine. I just didn’t like it. I think she is good, but I didn’t like her in this.

Mariah and Carlos – Contemporary – I love Stacey Tookey. This could be really good. The first time I watched this I actually got a little teary at the end. That doesn’t happen very much for me. It is just so pretty and fluid. They are so in the dance, they are emoting and it seems pretty real. He remembered at the end, or at least that is how I am taking it. That dance was the best one so far. I thought it was incredible. I agree with Christina, Mariah nailed it.

Amy and Fik-Shun – Hip-Hop – I think this one should be fun. I love it and it hasn’t even been 10 seconds yet. They are so good. Love it. Saw another camera. The camera people were off tonight. I loved that routine. They are the only two people on the show who could have pulled off that routine. I agree with Christina, Fik-Shun really is something special. And I love that Fik-Shun realizes that Amy makes him better.

Jenna and Tucker – Cha-Cha –I think it is alright. It doesn’t seem very Cha-Cha-y to me. It was better the second time I saw it. It was alright. I thought Mary and Christina were fine in what they said. I agreed with Nigel. A judge says something about it not being true to the style every time Dmitry choreographs. They shouldn’t ask him back. It was pretty good for me though. I think it was fine.

Bottom three girls after tonight: Makenzie, Hayley, Jasmine M.

Bottom three guys after tonight: BluPrint, Paul, Curtis

It was hard for me to pick a bottom 6. I don’t have a clue which dancers will go home after this week. It was a good show. I have people I wouldn’t mind leaving, but I think America will vote for them. Who knows? I am looking forward to next week.

SYTYCD Season 10 Top 20 Performance Show

Top 20 Performance Show

Opening number: I really liked this and how it incorporated so many different people. The first time I watched this I got so excited every time I saw a different choreographer. Nigel isn’t a very good animator. Christopher Scott is much better than the contestants. I liked that this was all one shot and that it moved all over the place. It was cool. I am really glad Napoleon and Tabitha are still choreographing. Their baby is adorable. 

Mariah and Carlos – Jive – Not bad, it seems kind of slow, but I guess it isn’t the quick step so it doesn’t have to be really fast. She reminds me of Chelsea, not in dance style necessarily, more in look and personality. I like her. There is something weird about her legs or feet in this dance, it might just be the shoes. I don’t know. I thought it was a good first dance for them. I have no idea why Mary was so crazy at the beginning of her comments. I agree that it seemed a little labored and needed to be lighter. I agree with Wayne that it seemed a little frantic.

Jasmine M. and Alan – Contemporary – I like her, not wild about him. We shall see how this goes. Travis is the choreographer, should be good. The blindfold should be interesting. I am pretty sure they can still see through those. Good song, good lighting, good costumes. I think it is really pretty. They have to be able to see through those blindfolds, at least enough to see silhouettes. I liked this one a lot. I liked what Wayne had to say. I agree with Nigel about the getting the emotion from Jasmine and not Alan. It was good. Mary was right about it being light, it was pretty.

Malece and Jade – Jazz- The lighting at the beginning of this is awesome. I love that they filmed the first part in black and white. It was good until about the middle of it, then you can see that Jade isn’t very good at other things. I am not sure I understand the story of the dance, but that is alright. I love that they finished it in black and white too. It was a cool effect. I think it was just alright. I am not sure I really like Malece very much. Nigel thought it was much better than the dress rehearsal and thought it was fantastic. It was good, just nothing special. I like that Wayne gave Jade some constructive criticism.

Jenna and Tucker – Broadway – I am so glad Tucker cut his hair, that whole crazy curly hair hanging in front of his face did not work for me. She is really good. That drop down to the split thing was really crisp and awesome looking. It was cute. I thought it was fine. Not the best one, but definitely not the worst.  I didn’t really listen to the judges for this couple. I am not sure they are a power couple, but they could end up being one.

Brittany and BluPrint – Afro-Jazz – I am glad to see BluPrint with a little more personality. This is really good. BluPrint is there for her on everything and is getting into it. He is doing well on his parts and she is doing really well too. I liked it. I thought it they did it really well. I like what Wayne said about BluPrint being “Just a …” but actually being able to do more. I thought Wayne saying Brittany had the motherland in her was funny. I liked what Nigel had to say too about BluPrint not growing up in the African jungle. They did well. Mary is crazy, but it was really good.

Alexis and Nico – Hip-Hop – This will be interesting. I like Nico because he is from Woodbridge. Or at least that is what it said at his audition. It started out pretty fun. I like it. He reminds me, in look, of Ivan. I thought it was fun and that they had a good time doing it. It wasn't perfect, but I thought it was good. I don’t agree with Nigel. I thought they felt it. Yes, I think Christopher Scott added things that were for them and watered down the routine, but I still liked it.

Makenzie and Paul – Viennese Waltz – I love this dance. I like her from her video and the rehearsal. It is just so pretty. I like the song, the whole thing is just beautiful. I enjoyed it entirely too much to try to find anything wrong with it. I noticed that Cat said it was very Roman Holiday and then Nigel said the same thing. I just thought it was lovely.

Jasmine H. and Aaron – Jazz- I haven’t really liked Jasmine so far. I think her legs and/or feet are weird, we will see how it goes. I like Aaron. I am glad he actually made it onto the show this season. I don’t mind her legs and feet anymore. The work in this routine, and maybe it is just because she has a partner that is just as tall. Her splits were really good. I like this one. It isn’t my favorite and I am sure they are doing things wrong, but I liked it. I loved that Cat said she felt normal because Aaron and Jasmine were tall too. Wayne is funny.

Hayley and Curtis – Hip-Hop – She is adorable. I think it is cute that they were having trouble with the sexy aspect of it because he had to put his hands everywhere. She looks like she should be in a rap/hip-hop music video. I think it started well, but I don’t think it stayed well. The handing light kept flickering and going out and I got really distracted by that. I didn’t think they were very together. She lost an earring during that dance. I completely disagree with Nigel. The two dances were completely different and needed to have a different feel. I didn’t like this one very much at all.

Amy and Fik-Shun – Contemporary – Fik-Shun is my favorite!!! Amy is the judges’ favorite from the auditions and Vegas week. This could be awesome. Amy reminds me of Allison. I have liked Fik-Shun since his audition. He just got so into it. It is so good. I am so proud of him. The lighting and costumes are good. I think they could be the winners. I want him to win, for sure. He reminds me of everything good about Twitch, Dominic, Cyrus, and Ivan. I knew the judges would be standing. Sonya looked like she couldn’t believe how good it was. I am so proud of him. Wayne Brady, so funny. I wasn’t sure how far he would go with taking the clothes off. Fik-Shun is so excited, I love it. It was my favorite of the evening too. That might be one of the few things Nigel and I agreed on for this episode.

Good show. I am sad it doesn’t come on twice a week, but I guess they liked last year’s format better. Oh well. That is fine. We get more dances this way.

I think Mariah and Carlos, Malece and Jade, Alexis and Nico, and Hayley and Curtis are the bottom couples, possibly Jenna and Tucker too. I like Jade, but I don’t think he is strong enough, so I would be okay if Malece and Jade were gone after this week.
