So You Think You Can Dance 2009 - Top 10

Bottom 3 couples

CAITLIN & JASON

JEANINE & PHILLIP

MELISSA & ADE

The two who were eliminated were CAITLIN and PHILLIP. I thought it was time for PHILLIP to leave - but I wish we could have seen CAITLIN dance with different partners. I think she is better than what we've seen (and it has been her bad luck to get some pretty bad choreography). But the good news for these 2 dancers is that NIGEL told them they would be going on tour with the top 10.

So now we have the Top 10. . . and it is going to be verrrrry hard to predict who will be eliminated. . . since "we" now have the power.

*** I have made fun of Cat Deeley's wardrobe in the past - so I want to say that I thought she looked really good on Wednesday (with her hair rolled up) and that black dress. Very classy.

So You Think You Can Dance - Top 12 Dancers Perform

Tonight each of the 6 couples had to perform two dances. . . so we got to see a jam-packed 2 hours of dancing !!

MELISSA & ADE danced a disco and a waltz. We all know MELISSA is a beautiful ballerina - but I felt that both of their routines were weak.

KAYLA & KUPONO danced a contemporary dance by MIA MICHAELS (about addiction). I LOVED it !!!! Then they did a "cute" broadway dance. ( I don't think KAYLA is going to "win" - but she is really my favorite)

CAITLIN & JASON danced a foxtrot and a lyrical jazz. They are a couple that are easy to forget. If they are around next week - I'm looking forward to them being partnered by someone new.

JEANINE & PHILLIP got stuck doing a Russion folk dance and a jive. Too bad for them. I think they will be in trouble this week. PHILLIP is really the weakest male dancer and needs to go home. The judges keep raving about JEANINE - but I don't see why !?!?

RANDI & EVAN did a nice hip hop and an OK samba. If EVAN doesn't get sent home this week - I think he'll be sent home next week. I think RANDI is adorable - but she just doesn't compare to the other female dancers.

JANETTE & BRANDON did an Argentine Tango and a jazz dance (by WADE ROBESON).
They were excellent, great, outstanding, superb, etc. BRAVO to these two dancers for being so impressive in EVERY style they've been asked to do !!!!!!

I hate to predict who's going home. . . since last week I was soooo off. . . but here goes - I think JEANINE & PHILLIP are going to be leaving.

So You Think You Can Dance 2009 - The Lost Blogs

7/2

WOW - I was way off on predicting who the bottom 3 were going to be !!

Bottom 3

KARLA & VITOLIO

KAYLA & KUPONO

JANINE & PHILLIP


KARLA was sent home (I thought her solo was very good. . . but I also thought she should have gone home a couple of weeks ago)

VITOLIO is the guy going home. He is soooooo much better than KUPONO. Sometimes I don't think the judges are watching the same show that I am!!!!



It's going to be very interesting to see who will be sent home next week

**** What's up with KELLEY CLARKSON ??

7/1

This weeks competition got off to a great start with JANETTE & BRANDON doing a "hot cha cha". MARY gave them 2 tickets to the Hot Tamale Train!!!

**** Before JANETTE & BRANDON danced MIA "apologized" for her remarks to BRANDON during the audition. I thought the apology was very weak and self-serving.

Then KAYLA & KUPONO did a contemporary vampire dance (choreographed by SONYA).
I LOVED it!!!! (KAYLA has the most beautiful extensions)

After those 2 great performances - RANDI & EVAN did a broadway dance. The choreography seemed way too easy and didn't compare to the 2 dances before them. I think they will be in trouble this week.

Poor CAITLIN & JASON. They had to do a dance by Brian Freidman about an alien who has to seduce the last human on earth. UGH!!! Very stupid dance. . . but they danced it well !! Because of the poor choreography (and costume) - I think these 2 will also be in trouble.

JANINE & PHILLIP were chained together for a hip hop routine. I thought the chain was a cool idea - but it really limited their movement.

MELISSA & ADE did the first classical pas de deux ever seen on So You Think You Can Dance. MELISSA is a beautiful ballerina. I hope the call-in audience can appreciate their performance !!!!

The last couple to dance was KARLA & VITOLIO. They did a quick step. I LOVED the story-line of this dance and KARLA's costume was great (she had on a black & white polka dotted dress and then she pulled the bodice down and it became an evening gown). Even though it was a good performance, I think they may be in the bottom 3.

We'll see what happens tonight.
