Top 10: Power Rankings
So since they revealed which dancer is paired with each All Star, I figur ed I would do the power rankings a little different this week. I’m choosing to rank the guys and the girls separately and predict how I think they will do next week.
Guys
Casey: After a great performance this week, he gets to be paired with Kathryn. I’ve got a feeling this will be a good partnership and most likely a good dance.
Ricky: He is the best techincal dancer on the show and hard not put him at the top of the list. I think Lauren Froderman is a good match for him and I’m curious what style they will be dancing.
Zack: He should be ok being paired with Amy.
Rudy: It will be interesting to see him do ballroom. I think he will do an ok job but Jenna could over shadow him after all she is a judges favorite.
Emilio: The height difference will be interesting. I honestly have no clue how they may do. It could be really good or bad. I also think it depends on what style they pick.
Girls
Tanisha & Jacque: They are kind of tied for me. The are both paired with an All Star that is also in their strongest style of dance. I’m excited to see Ryan dance again. Also I’m expecting a great pas de duex from Chehon and Jacque.
Valerie: I don’t think she will have a problem keeping up with Ade.
Bridget: Why do I get the feeling she could be dancing disco, Brandon is a great partner for it. Disco is tough to pull off so it’s another wait and see how it goes.
Jessica: While I think she will be safe next week she is pair with Twitch. She has a lot of work to do to keep up with the star that is Twitch.
What are your thoughts on the pairings?
Katie and Lauren are my two favorite girls from all the seasons so I’m thrilled I get to see Lauren dance next week. The only question is whether they’ll get jazz or contemporary.
I’m happy to see Chehon again as well. I do hope we get a Dwight&Desmond piece rather than that old Bolshoi guy doing another connect the dots old school ballet number. Not that there’s anything wrong with that style of ballet. I like a great Don Q. or Swan Lake pas de deux as much as I like neo-classical ballet but I believe that the very strict, classical whiz bang style is a bit beyond the capabilities of the dancers on this show.
I want to see Jacque and Chehon do something more lyrical.
Ryan and Tanisha are going to be amazing. He’s an incredible underrated dancer.
Emilio has Jasmine right? I like the pairing. Both are dancers who make whoever they are dancing with look great.
I’m just so stoked it’s all-star time!
I’m just happy it’s All Star week too. Kathryn will always be a favorite of mine. I got to see Ryan dance in Vegas when he did the DWTS live show…which was fantastic. I have a long list of favorites. We probably won’t see Melanie Moore this season since she is busy with Finding Neverland the musical which Mia is choreographing.
