SYTYCD S7 Top 8 Results Discussion
Somehow, I think y’all still have stuff to get off your chests and that there may be even more to discuss during tonight’s episode. Well, here’s your forum. Go for it!!
[I’m re-watching Adechike’s Bollywood before the show starts and I’m SO PROUD of Cat. I will definitely understand if fans rally for Adechike tonight because there was a lot of weird energy coming at him from that judging panel. I happen to agree with everything they said – no, he didn’t dance the routine as well as he could have, yes it felt African (which was actually one of my favorite aspects of it), yes I was really missing Alex during the routine – but I felt there was a LOT of bad/weird energy from the judges toward Adechike.]
I thought they praised Kent Boyd too much for that Hip Hop piece. It was really just okay.
While Adechike didn’t perform that well, he didn’t deserve the Mia massacre.
I loved the african jazz piece more than the judges did. Oh! As well as Robert in the barbie box! Loved that
alex wong not in the opening routine.. not a good sign.. im pretty sure ade was stepping in for alex.
MY HEART IS SHATTERING.
also i love cat, but not feeling the outfit or the hair 😛
@tammi: It was Ade. I was VERY confused as to why he was there till you pointed out (dur, thanks!) that he must’ve been stepping in for Alex. Maybe they’re just trying to rest him up and build suspense????
mia apologizes.. interesting.
probably just doesnt want people to not like her.
as if ashley is in the bottom, ..
and im still wondering whats going on with alex.
im guessing theyll send billy home if alex can dance.. such a shame. it should really be jose. (or adechike, although i feel bad for how the judges were to adechike, he still needs to go very soon).
YES ANYA AND PASHA!
only good thing with sytycd right now.. =(
Ashley and Billy do not belong in the bottom 3!! What the hell? They are going to send Ashley home (grrrr) because they are not going to get rid of Alex or Billy. Unless…Alex will go due to his injury. Either way, who ever goes home tonight they will be sorely missed!
As for Mia’s apology to Adechike, felt a little insincere to me.
ok.
i’m angry.
i’m very very angry.
i do NOT understand how Adechike manages to sneak through every week, last night he bored the hell out of me. although Mia may have been a little harsh on him, I do essentially agree with what she said. and putting Ashley and Billy in the bottom with Alex?!
ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING ME??! WHOSE VOTES ARE YOU COUNTING?!?
it’s so annoying cos this is the first season i’ve actually been able to actively and consistently vote, and it appears it’s doing jack all.
ok, now in the heights is on and i feel a little better.
@tammi, Cynthia and katie: I’m with you. On all of your points, all of the above. ANGRY. Mildly distracted by In the Heights. Just wait for my thoughts post. That’s a threat and a promise, fyi.
are you KIDDING?!!?!?!?!? I’m pissed. I haven’t watched it because I have work to do, but I just read these comments. ASHLEY and BILLY in the bottom!? with alex, which is obviously so sadenning. Something is very very wrong.
Tonight Mia proved to me that she has no balls. An apology, seriously? He deserved no apology. Adechike (and Jose) should be in the bottom three NOT Ashley.
i could hear adam’s response while ashley was pulling out all those turns. she did good. billy was smart choosing that solo too, cos it’s one that everyone recognizes from last season, and it’s the one that made adam have an emotional breakdown during s6 vegas week.
I’ll be crushed to lose any of them. alex not dancing did make me feel any better.
the allstars make me happy though. i least i know my favorite allstars can’t get kicked off unfairly.
@Bizzle i’m kinda with you i agreed with her last night, but seeing the comments on playback it did seem a little harsh, and Mia is all about the love, she just wants them to grow as dancers, and she was obviously concerned she’d hurt his feelings. i think if anything it took some guts to admit she may have taken it a bit too far last night.
***Spoiler Alert*** Dammit dammit dammit dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m going to miss Alex!! I hope he heels quickly and gets back to dancing. The dance world can not lose him!
The dancers are reaping what the judges sowed. By pulling so baldly towards and against dancers in personal ways in their ‘critiques’, I had a sinking feeling that Jose, Robert and Adechike would all get the votes for them…leaving the ones given faint praise in danger.
So so SO sad, though, the reason why the bottom two were safe this week.
Can someone tell Mia to lose that hair-do? Looks kinda like she had a “Something About Mary” moment before she came on…:)
so sad. Totally heartbroken for Alex, but BLESS YOU Nigel and co. for inviting him back next year. He is so so wonderful.
Billy and Ashley should never have been in the bottom 2. Adechike needs to go. Jose is so so sweet, but I think he’s reaching his peak. Even Kent is losing his sparkle for me. But clearly just voting once for your favorite is not enough. If i have to vote 10 times for everyone except Adechike, then goddamit i will.
Ok, i shall stop leaving all these ranting comments now.
good night, dear sytycd-ers!
I AM ACTUALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW
like balling my eyes out
so friggn heartbreaking
he was going to win this season, its just not the same anymore.
i hope he comes back next season & that his foot is better soon. he must be in so much pain.
**spoiler alert** (just in case)
So, did I hear Nigel right in that Alex will be able to return next season? It’s so sad that he got such a terrible injury and had to withdraw. He was certainly in my top 3.
GUTTED. Shattered. Woebegone. Destroyed. I can be on a plane tomorrow to LA with a new Achilles tendon, Alex!!!!!!!!!!!
@Lisa: You heard right. He’ll be back. It’s the only thing reassuring me right now.
@Robin: Keep watching! We need your voice here on the site! He’ll be back – that helps a lot, right? And it sounds like he has a VERY good chance of recuperating, so hold onto your tendon for the moment. <3 🙂
My stupid news station cut into the show airing “the decision” (I’m in Cleveland), I was not very happy. Luckily, I didn’t miss anything important. I’m glad Alex will be back next season. He is capable of anything, that Hip Hop last week proved that. I was looking forward to him dancing this week.
Also, I’m okay with Billy being in the bottom 3. I didn’t agree w/ Ashley being there. My perfect bottom 3 would have been Billy, Jose, and Adechicke. I was so glad that Robert wasn’t b3!
Oh… oh… thank god they’ll let him return. Hopefully next year it won’t be awkward or weird and that he’ll still be the best and win like he should’ve this season. Well, Top 8 Elimination has shocked us again.
i hate top 8 results!
allison, sara (i know not a lot of people were devastated by this, but i was so disappointed), will, jeanette…
such a bad week, basically every season. =(
should be called the top 8 curse!
Ok. I cried my eyes out for Alex. He just cannot get a break. But I”m so appreciative that they are letting him come back. They are bending the rules quite a bit by letting him come back. I think its because he was just so amazing, and he wanted it so badly. when Jessica was injured season 4, no one really cared that she was out, but Alex has been through so much, sacrificed his safe job for this. I’m so glad. And if anyone says its unfair, I will smack you in the face. because. I’ve never seen someone so talented, so deserving of ego and (no one should be arrogant, but if anyone had a right to be, its alex) arrogance, yet still the most humble person to ever grace the stage of sytycd.
ps. I loved how he like, said “kent” during his goodbye b/c kent was crying up a storm.
pss. ashley did not deserve the bottom. billy did. adechike or jose should have been in the bottom, but as usual, the judges comments had the opposite affect of what they hoped would happen.
Adechike should’ve been in the bottom. I feel like he isn’t growing as much as he should. It disappoints me that he hasn’t been in the bottom yet, but Ashley and Robert have. (I’m in the middle with Billy, maybe because of his lack of connection?) I do like Jose and his personality. I don’t know how long he’ll be able to continue with that, but I do agree that his routines last night were very weak.
I’m so sad Alex is hurt! My heart was broken when they said he couldn’t dance. I hope he recovers fast. I was really hoping for him to win it this season.
PS. I can’t believe Black Gold played at The Republic!! I was unaware of that.
Well that was freaking sad. Am I the only one that rewinds to look at the safe dancers to see who all is in tears? Mercy.
The bottom two were just wrong. And while appreciated Mia’s apology, Adechike and Jose still should have been in the bottom…
I’m interested to know how they work Alex in next year. I thought once you made it into the performance and elimination shows you couldn’t come back again…
@Annie: Do you live in New Orleans? You coulda been my +1. 🙂
I hope Alex does come back next year (if the show comes back). I don’t think he needs the show, professionally, but I hope he decides he wants that cash prize.
Kent was so cute, bawling his eyes out. Kent has big shoes to fill for me now – he’s moved into my Number 1 spot. Don’t let me down, kiddo!
I’m hugely disappointed in America’s bottom two choices. What on earth were people thinking? I think Ashley is wonderful and the only thing that could bring her down was drawing the quickstep (which they should really just retire from the show because it’s an immediate disadvantage to whoever does it) and Billy is such a gifted dancer. I firmly believe that to cut one of them before Jose or Adechike would be madness.
I can’t help but be crushed for Alex, who worked so hard and obviously wanted this experience so very much. I think it’s wonderful that they will let him back onto the show and hope that he does return. I think he deserved to win this season and there’s a huge chance that he would have done so. It’s a tremendous blow to the season and to Alex.
What a disappointing week for SYTYCD! 🙁
[…] movement. I was annoyed by some of the theatrics of it. And confused to why Ade was in it, till tammi reminded me Alex was sitting out (I think I’d blocked it […]
I am heartbroken for Alex! He was supposed to win this season! He’s amazing in so many aspects, he’s got soul, he can do every type of dance and he’s sacrificed so much just to be on the show. He’s just EVERYTHING! Even though I love the other dancers this season; it won’t be the same without Alex.
Alex you are loved, hang in there and we’ll see you next season.
I am extremely disappointed that Alex is out of the competition but glad that he can come back next year. I also disappointed with the the bottom three this week I mean Ashley in the bottom , it should have been Jose and Adechike, I can understand Billy being in the bottom but I personally think that Jose or Adechike should leave before Billy.
@Emilie: YES! Oh well, haha.
@Annie: Ah well. It was a great show. There’s a show tonight or tomorrow in Tampa. The tickets are all yours if you can get down there. 🙂
@Emilie: I won’t be able to, but thanks anyway.
My complete JOY at seeing Mark and Courtney dance NappyTabs choreography (my Holy Trinity) was quickly dashed when they announced the news about Alex =( I’m not sure I ever would have voted for him, but at this point he fully deserved to go the entire way and I would have been fine with that. I went to bed so sad for him…
