SYTYCD Top 14 Review :D
So yesterday on SYTYCD the top 14 couples performed not one, but two dances! Why? Well, we're not really sure. Usually they don't have to do this until the top 10 or later. Some of the couples definitely needed the second dance, and second chance!
Beginning with Comfort and Thayne. A new partnership since Chris and Chelsea were kicked off last week. They're first dance was a Broadway routine. I think it's unfortunate that Thayne didn't get a high energy sort of routine like Benji and Donyelle's "You Can't Stop the Beat". He would have done much better with that kind of Broadway.

The new couple also did a smooth waltz. I thought thayne did very well. At some parts Comfort did the "Lacey" hand thing and i thought she didn't have very many good lines. When Jaimie did the waltz, it was not technically right, but her beautiful lines made up for it. Uhm. Part of me wants to sympathize with her because she is a hip hop dancer, but the other half says that shouldn't be an excuse anymore. People have done it before. Link for the Waltz: http://youtube.com/watch?v=vxTWfPXnvzE
Matt and Kourtni first did a hip hop choreographed by Cicely and Olisa. All i have to say is i miss Shayne Sparks. I have never quite been a huge fan of Cicely and Olisa's work, and I think Matt and Kourtni did fairly well. Ivan would have been amazing in this though and been able to pull it off. As a plus, it didn't look too awkward! Link for Matt and Kourtni's Hip Hop: http://youtube.com/watch?v=XcX0PWTBT1k
I agree with this person's comment on youtube: "i feel kind of bad because i feel like they get jipped in terms of choreography. like tabitha and napoleon are amazing, they're just so different. and to not get mia or at least mady for contemporary is sort of a disappointment for the dancers. they have so much potential once they get the right rountine. i love matt, i think if he had a different partner he'd be doing better" And i think the same goes for Matt and Comfort.
Matt and Kourtni second, did a Mambo! I disagree with the judges. Matt did great in this! And i couldn't keep my eyes off him! Kourtni did well, but not as good as Matt. Link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=XcX0PWTBT1k
Twitch and Kherington, Twitchington did a Paso Doble. I think it's SO easy for couples to over act when it comes to Paso Domble and just ruin it. I thought it looked it little bit cheesy and just too much. A lot of the part's Kherington looks like she's snarling at him! Just too much for me, personally! Here's the link for their Paso Doble: http://youtube.com/watch?v=gyQnrz_MNTI
Second, they did a Mia Michael's contemporary. AHHHHHHHH! It was amazing! I love how they are never on the bed at the same time! It was, as usual, a magnificent MIA MICHAEL'S routine. Adored it so much! They danced it well! One of my favorite dances from the whole season for sure! Here's the link and you would do well to watch it!: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9vJ_oaTsFbc One more time i just have to say i loved it! I loved the explosion when Kherington first throws the rose pedals! wow!
Jessica and Will did a Jive choreographed by Tony Merideth and Melanie LaPatin. It was ok. I have seen better (Anya and Danny). I feel bad that Jessica is always getting picked on! She did just fine in this dance, and so did Will. But I'm not a Jive expert. It was ok, just ok :D Here's the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=zoxazaCdkec
Second they did a Mandy Moore Lyrical Jazz. The shirt thing was very creative! I Really enjoyed this dance and they definitely danced it very well! Will just lifted and threw Jessica around and it was a great dance and some very lovely choreography! I love explosions in dances where the music just goes KAPOW! And they do something remarkable! This dance they definitely did it! Here's the link for Jessica and Will's Lyrical Jazz routine: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Lxk-bNanVcY&feature=related
Gev and Courtney did a hip hop dance. It was good! I quite liked it! I thought that Gev actually did it really well! I liked Gev no matter what the judges said! Courtney did really good too though! She's definitely a little cutie and i thought for a "ghetto" (lol, Alli) she did a very good job! Here is the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bbhnUxBBt-U
Second they did a cute little Broadway routine! They totally look like a lost little couple in new york! They're so cute together! This dance made me smile a lot! It was very enjoyable! The little jump that Gev does though, what was it exactly? It makes me giggle! Was it supposed to be like a toe touch? Or was it supposed to be like that? We'll never know. Great use of the stage and it just reminds me of that ride at Disneyland where you sit in those seat and hey lift you up and it looks like you're flying over things! :D Link for Gev and Courtney's Broadway:http://youtube.com/watch?v=JKiato-Qhz8&feature=related
Chelsea and Mark did a Jazz routine by Mandy Moore. I'm sorry to say i didn't enjoy it too much. It was ok. Not Chelsea and Mark's faults at all! It was the choreography. That song deserves much sexier choreography! For what they were given they did well, maybe could have been a little more energy...Sorry, but i don't have much to say about it. Link:http://youtube.com/watch?v=ofbsZj3wtZ4
They also did a Fox Trot. It was good but i think dearest Chelsea dress took away from it because i couldn't see her body moving or what she was doing through all the feathers! Loved her hair though :D But how was it possible for them to dance with when they go to take a breath they inhale feathers? They did it well for breathing feathers, but i wish she could have had a less bird-like dress.... They are a great couple though! Love them! Here's the link for Chelsea and Mark: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wHrjAVlRGrQ
Lastly, Katee and Joshua did a Mia Michaels contemporary as well. Not my favorite of hers... It was still very good, but the bed one was a little better to me and more meaningful! The difficulty of this routine was very high i think and very fast too! I think I've mentioned before that i like routines where the dancers just run across the stage! So the running was definitely the best part of this routine for me! Katee and Joshua did a good job! Here's the link for it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wq9HoyA6gf4
They also did West Coast Swing by the champion Benji! I love the little doggie he brought in! So cute! Sorry Benji, but unlike your wowing choreo last year with Pasha and Sara, this was a little boring. Love the hip action going on though! It was one of those dances that just says "I'm just hanging out dancing for the fun of it!" There's nothing wrong with that! But just so boring, could have been the music or the fact Benji wasn't dancing it. Uhm. I liked Katee in this more than Joshua...Since Benji said it was a tough routine, they really made it look easy and carefree! Here's the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=c_8J-qglsBA&feature=related
So that is what happened last night! Wish them all luck, though i think we know who will be in the bottom 3 :(
