Welcome to Pure So You Think You Can Dance

Great elimination show. Sad to see anyone go, but we still have all the music for SYTYCD. I think we’re pretty close to reaching the point that anyone who gets sent home will be a great dancer.

I loved this little video clip of a sytycd voting party for Thayne Jasperson. The best part is that it shows that people from Utah can’t dance. There are certainly the exceptions like some of the things we’ve seen on the show, but generally I can tell you that people from Utah can’t dance.

Josh and Katee are definitely my favorite total couple. They both have the best personality of any other couple. Josh is just a fun loving laid back guy and Katee is shy, reserved and totally intriguing. I think I just really like people that are humble. Which is why it is ironic that I love this samba by Josh and Katee.

This was definitely the worst dance of the night. Not because Chelsea or Thayne didn’t do well. Mostly because quickstep is a hard dance to knock out of the park on So You Think You Can Dance. It’s a challenging dance that can be wonderful, but to me is just not able to connect the same way other dances do.

Nigel is right about America not understanding this routine. It’s kind of freaky. I think it’s perfect for Kourtni. In the end, I don’t think it’s the best routine I’ve seen on the show, but it was fun to watch and enjoy.

I think I may have been a little harsh on Will in the past. He’s still far from my favorite, but he’s not as horrible as I’ve said previously. I’m still not wearing the rose colored glasses of the judges, but we’ll see how he develops. I think the judges were dead on with Jessica. She seems like she could have something really special, but doesn’t realize it. The good thing is that that’s what makes her so great. I hope she never truly realizes it.

Here’s the video of Jessica and Will’s disco routine.

It’s always sad to put Kherington Payne in a big baggy outfit like this, but the routine was actually quite entertaining. Enjoy the video of Kherington and Twitch.

I don’t think that Jazz will ever be my favorite dance, but the African jazz that Tice does has to be the best there is. It’s interesting, it’s animalistic and entertaining to watch. Enjoy the video of Comfort and Chris.

Here’s the video of Chelsie Hightower and Mark Kanemura performing a Napoleon & Tabitha Top 16 Hip-Hop Routine. I love Napoleon and Tabitha and I’m so glad that they are on the show. They throw something a little bit different out there that’s unique and interesting.

I think that this video of Courtney Galiano and Gev Manoukian’s Rhumba had to be my favorite dance from last night. It was beautiful it was sexy and just one of the most wonderful routines on So You Think You Can Dance. I can’t believe this is the second week in a row that a ballroom dance is my favorite dance. I’ve always loved them, but rarely have they knocked me out like this rhumba. I think Courtney Galiano’s rhumba outfit didn’t hurt any either.
