The Winner is Announced. . .

Congratulations to JEANINE !!!

This was a very entertaining night. We got to see some of the judges favorite dances from this season. It was great seeing them again. There was a group dance that was performed by the Top 20 and the Top 16. It reminded me of how strong this season really was.

KAYLA got 4th place (but she is the one dancer from this season who will be able to get work in whatever genre she auditions for - Broadway, videos, commercials, etc)

EVAN placed 3rd.

BRANDON was 2nd (I'm so impressed with his talent - but the reality is that he is too short)

So now what am I going to watch on Wednesday and Thursday???

Can't wait for Season 6!!!!

The Top Four Perform

Congratulations to KAYLA, JEANINE, EVAN, & BRANDON.

I don't think the Final Four Finale changed anyone's mind about who their favorite dancer is. BRANDON was excellent - but why was he dancing in his bathing suit??. JEANINE was excellent - her solo which was more ballet than contemporary - will probably win MELISSA'S fans votes. Her turns in croise that started out fast then ended in a balance, were amazing. KAYLA is always good. EVAN seems like a really nice guy.

I was very disappointed in the JIVE routine that EVAN & KAYLA did. I really don't think the JIVE ( or disco, or russian folk, etc) is serious enough to be in the finale. I think that because of that routine - KAYLA will not be one of the final 2.

I'm kind of worried that the judges critisized EVAN too much. He definitely has a huge fan base and there will be a "backlash". People will call in for him just to prove that the judges were wrong.

**Note to Nigel - if you think a dancer is too short, or has hooded eye lids, or is too nice, or is too stylized. . . don't put them thru to Vegas !!!!! DUH

The Final Four !!

Congratulations to

JEANINE

KAYLA

BRANDON

EVAN

(I'm not surprised that ADE & MELISSA went home. ADE had been weak for a couple of weeks - I think the "Cancer Dance" was the only thing that saved both of them last week - and MELISSA is a beautiful dancer but she's just too old)

*** I'm not going to make any predictions. You know I LOVE KAYLA & BRANDON - but we all have to realize that EVAN has LOTS of supporters calling in for him. OK - if I had to pick the winner, I guess I would choose JEANINE.

*** It was great seeing some of the dancers from last season doing the Emmy nominated dances.

Again, we had a very entertaining show !!!

Lil C really bugs me.

Cat Deeley looked like a Christmas tree.

I liked Mary Murphys hair.
