So You Think You Can Dance 2009 "Official" thread

[PHILLYLUVSCLAY]

Evan's solo was quirky (as only HE can do!) and truly adorable.   And we all know he has a huge fan base. 

Now I'm also worrying about Ade.      

I'm not worrying about Ade. I think Evan is more in danger of leaving. Boxers. or no..

It should be so Philly.... but we're coming down to popularity now and the judges were rather rough on Ade in the Samba.  Time will tell.

Lil C... It was very interesting to me. The stage is your gola.  I need to see this Buckness. Unison is okay.  I need more than amazing right now.

Mary....You guys are the epitome of strong sexy dancers!

Nigel...I love tha fact begin with a trio.  I love your chemistry!  I think were fantastic!

Time to Vote!

I hate to say I was underwhelmed tonight with the exception of Brandon's solo it was incredible, and he's not been one of my favorites.
Methinks Melissa and Ade will be the ones in trouble.  I agree that Melissa is the girl who should be going, even though I love you Melissa, but I think Evan should have been gone some time ago, JMHO.

[PHILLYLUVSCLAY]

I totatly agree with you Sharon. I think Brandon will sail in the finals.  Also I think that Evan got that"Clay Aiken" thing going on. He's got a rabid fan base, like someone else we know.

Base on Kayla's performance tonight, I think she will sail in the finals as well.

[stilldreaming]

Philly... Sharon!    I think we're all pretty much on the same page tonight.

My top two picks for the girls and guys tomorrow are:  Kayla, Jeanine, Ade and Brandon.

Evan's surely the dark (less talented) horse, but his fan base may surprise (or perhaps shock!) us all.     In which case... Ade will probably fall to the wayside and then I'll be very, very disappointed.

While Melissa is a beautiful dancer and has a special "something" that makes her so memorable, she just didn't impress me tonight.  (And let's face it girls... Evan did not help her cause.)

Hope Thea and Tiffany stop in too!  I'd love to hear their opinions.

Cindy girl, you beat me to it.  When I saw Melissa pick Evan I thought oh crap, this is not good, especially for her.  When he attempted, and notice I said attempted to lift her, it didn't work.  Melissa is such a free, expressive, soaring dancer and Evan just couldn't show that off in her
Once again a rabid fan base as Philly so aptly named them, and yep us for Clay can have a more deserving contestant leave too soon, and if Ade is the sacrifice I'll be pissed
One more thought, the two routines that Evan and Melissa got didn't help their cause either, and yes I know they have to adapt to ANY style, but I'm just sayin'

Sharon... I couldn't agree more.      At this point in the competition, it's really difficult to "compare" the talent level of different dancers when the partnerships AND the choreography are so DIVERSE.  For example.... Evan and Melissa got an extremely tough Quick Step and I was unimpressed (in comparison to) the other routines last night.  But if ALL the couples had to do a Quick Step, then I'd have something to weigh and compare against.  Some dancers would shine and others would not.  Does that make sense 

Of course, SYTYCD will never go that route.  But it would sure help me. 

Only 4 minutes till showtime!!

Sure does Cindy, and that's why it's not a perfect platform.  I would think most voters are young, and many times vote for the style and choreography the more NOW the better, wait ~~~how did Evan get through then he does have an older broadway style, so how does that work Maybe it's the underdog syndrome again just like Clay.

Melissa
  Evan 

I know..

Well, Evan does have "The Clay Aiken Factor"

Ok.  I'll admit I'm a sucker for one adorable, extremely talented underdog  but I think I've hit my limit. 

Could Evan really win this week???  More than likely 

I don't feel SYTYCD is fixed the way AI is.... (yup.  I've said it and I mean it!!!).... so now it's ALL up to the fans.  More than likely it'll depend on which direction Ade's votes swing  and I'm ready for anything.             

[mrs. c.]

I'm going out on a limb and saying the final two will be Brandon and Jeanine

[stilldreaming]

Before I venture a guess, I have a question.... will they have the girls dance with each of the guys this week?   That only seems fair for the final.     Or am I being too optimistic

Seems fair to me too Cindy, but I am not sure, perhaps our hostess the lovely Philly can enlighten us



I can't remember what happen last year... *Looks at Tiffany for enlightment*

[PHILLYLUVSCLAY]

Um....

That reply thingie is acting funky again...

That was me responding to Sharon..

[Tiffany]

You rang Sharon? Yes! They switch couples and dance together and the 2 girls and 2 guys will dance together once as well.
