Goodbye to Chris and Chelsea on SYTYCD.

Everyone who likes SYTYCD hates Thursdays. At least i do, and all the dancers on the show. After voting for like 2 hours with five phones, my sister and I put them down when the lines closed at 11pm on Wednesdays. Now all we could do was wait...

We had been voting for Thayne, who had once been a teacher at Jenna's dance studio before dancing with Odyssey, I believe (i might have some of my facts wrong though, so don't kill me if I'm wrong). Jenna had taken some classes last year from him during the summer camp and she loved it. So automatically we had him and Chelsie H. as early favorites.

Back to last night though. The dancers in the bottom three had all been there before (which i think is sad because some of them did well!). The couples in the bottom consisted of: Matt and Kourtni, Thayne and Chelsea, and Chris and comfort. All of the cutest little guys on the show. Chelsea's solo was first. I liked it. Definitely not anything special though... I don't think the repeated fan kicks and repeated stags and double stag leaps suited the song though really. Maybe if the song had repeated words in it, than i could understand...After Chelsea stepped off the stage it was Thayne's turn. As usual i feel he did a respectable job. Which could indeed be the problem with him! During the show I haven't seen him do anything that blew me away other than his audition solo and his top 20 dance. Time for Miss Comfort's solo. Eh. That's really all i must say to that. Her solo was ehhh. I have seen hip hop solos that are much better than that...Chris. Eh to his solo as well. It was a bit of a mess actually. That pirouette he did was odd. His shoulders were up and his arms were bent. If it was supposed to be like that he should've made it more distinct because what he did confused me. Kourtni's solo was ok. I think she is a much better solo dancer definitely. When i was watching her i was thinking it would suck if she got pared with Thayne who is like 5 inches shorter than her. It wouldn't be fair at all! Her solo was purty darn good though. I like the song quite a bit! Matt's solo was AMAZING! So good! I really think that saved him! It was brilliant and just wonderful to watch! Here is the link if you wish to watch it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MvlBi7Nd4LM

The judges come back to their seats, which means that they've made their decision. Chelsea is the first to step forward and Nigel, very bluntly tells her she's eliminated tonight. Comfort and Kourtni are safe....
It was funny, I went with my mom to this jewelry party thing and so Jenna and Kelsee were texting me who was in the bottom 3 and stuff. And so we were going to get in the car to drive home when i spotted SYTYCD playing on someones tv. and so i stood in the road for about 3 minutes watching their tv to see who got eliminated.
Anyway, Nigel tells Matt he's sorry for always picking on him, but his solo was wonderful and he was safe. Thayne and Chris are left together, both looking like they're going to burst into tears any minute now. Thayne is safe and Chris is eliminated. I knew i was going to be sad no matter what happened because they were all good and so cute! So now Thayne is partnered with Comfort. I hope they do well, and Comfort doesn't bring Thayne down.

So goodbye to Chelsea and Chris. They made it to the top 16! Best of luck in all they do!

Loves,
Brooke

So You Think You Can Dance Season 4 Top 16

So yesterday on FOX was SYTYCD! So just in case you missed it, well that's why I'm here!

Chelsie and Mark did a hip hop routine choreographed by Napoleon and Tabitha. Ever since Shane Sparks left the show for ABDC (America's Best Dance Crew) i didn't think there was ever going to be a decent hip hop routine on the show! This definitely proved me wrong! It was definitely one of the best dances of the night! Chelsie and Mark did an outstanding job since hip hop isn't their specialty! They are for sure on of my favorite couples of the season!

Comfort and Chris did an African Jazz dance choreographed by Tyce Diorio (sorry if i spelled his name wrong). I have to say i love Comfort and Chris! I love Comfort because of her personality ("Nigel I'm wearing Bra and Beads..."), and i love Chris because he looks a little like Stephen Colletti from Laguna Beach and he is a wonderful dancer! However, they seem to be having a tough time on the show! I think the danced this dance well for what they were given. I hated the music and didn't think it suited the style or the choreography. I was kinda disappointed in Tyce... I think they'll be in bottom 3...

Thayne and Chelsea did a Quick Step choreographed by Heather Smith. Ok, I feel so bad for Thayne and Chelsea, they keep getting stuck with bad dance choreography and bad styles! I do think they did the quick step better than Musa and Natalie from season 2! And unless I'm mistaken, didn't Travis and Donyelle do a Quick Step as well? Thayne and Chelsea's was better than that too. I quite enjoyed the routine, though i didn't think it looked that difficult and "quick" compared to Lacey and Kameron's...I think Thayne and Chelsea will, unfortunately be in the bottom again :( Hopefully their personalities will help them.

Will and Jessica did a Disco by Doriana Sanchez. It was respectable. I think there have been some better disco's on the show... I really like Will though, but i think he might get too much praise from the judges which can get a tad annoying after a while! I think he will no doubt make it into the top 4. Anyway, to the dance. After just watching it again, i think i liked it more. I'm not sure about the white costumes though. When i think of disco i think of bright colors! I don't think they need to be getting their solos ready!

Kherington and Twitch did a hip hop routine by Napoleon and Tabitha. Eh. Didn't like it too much. I think i might prefer Shane Sparks just because i don't always like themed dances, which Tabitha and Napoleon do a lot! Uhm. Also, some ugly costumes....Don't like them, but i understand them because of the prison themed dance! I think Kherington did well since this wasn't her style. I really agree with the judges that she brought herself up two levels! If it was up to me, they would be in the bottom, but i wouldn't send them home. I think there should've been a little more energy and just been like WOWZA!

Katie and Joshua did a Samba choreographed by Tony Meridith (sorry about spelling). Ok ok. It was SO much better than Jaimie and Hok's samba (i LOVE Jaimie and Hok though!). It was so good! Katie and Joshua are my mom's favorite couple by far! I really like them and so far they have been able to do a fantastic job at every dance style that they have been given! Both of them do a great job, and neither one is carrying the other. The samba was sexy and very entertaining! I think they deserve to be safe and continue for sure into the top ten! Chelsea and Mark and Katie and Joshua are definitely the couple to beat in this season's competition! Both couples seem invincible!
So sorry, but i can't find their dance on youtube. I will post the link though as soon as the dance is posted on youtube!

Matt and Kourtni did a very interesting contemporary routine choreographed by a new choreographer named Sonya Tayeh (with some very interesting hair!). I don't know, it's probably just me, but I really don't think i would call this dance contemporary. It seems a little more on the jazz side to me! I did enjoy it after i decided i wasn't going to let the fact they called it contemporary bother me. It was danced well and i enjoyed the choreography! They did well! Some incredible technique in that routine as well! dang it, just forgot was i was going to say! oh! For once, i think this did them some justice! It didn't look at all awkward to me! And about Matt falling last week during their dance, i didn't notice and he covered it SO well by hitting a pose! There have only been 2 other dancers on the show that made mistakes like that and covered it well: Lauren Gottlieb and Alli Holker. So Good Job to Matt!

Gev and Courtney did a rumba by Tony and Melody. Eh. It was good! Not too awkward and not that bad. I did prefer Dominic and Sabra and Dominic and Lauren more though it just seemed a little sexier and believable! Jenna (my sister) said i just didn't like it because of the song, but that's not true! I did like it, i just think there could've been some more passion! That little slide down his leg thing at the beginning i thought was a bit odd....and slightly over dramatic. It kinda makes me laugh a bit. Gev did very well considering that he's never done ballroom in his life before. I think this couple is a bit forgettable though... The dancing, overall was very good though and i enjoyed watching it. It doesn't deserve to be in the bottom, it might be though, but not sure.

Make sure to watch tonight on FOX for the results! Thanks everyone!
