Videos of Natalie Fotopoulos and Ivan Koumaev Who Were Voted Off So You Think You Can Dance(SYTYCD)

Here are the videos I could find of Natalie Fotopoulos and Ivan Koumaev’s final dances together. I couldn’t find Ivan’s final solo so if you find it let me know and I’ll post it.

Natalie & Ivan Contemporary

Commentary: This couple has a challenging contemporary routine to perform. It’s a routine that has Natalie and Ivan doing a lot of touching. As always, these contemporary routines do very little for me, and the judges agree. The chemistry just isn’t there, which is really important in this style of dance.

Natalie & Ivan Jive

Commentary: These 2 roll out of bed (separately!) and go into the studio way too sleepy to be learning the jive. I don’t know much about this dance, but I don’t think it involves yawning. They come out dressed in some kind of hybrid biker gear, which Natalie seems to be especially embracing. It seemed to lack some energy, especially for a jive. The judges agree, saying it was too low energy and lacked any visible chemistry.

Natalie’s Solo

Commentary: Natalie jumps out with a burst of energy looking ever the 80’s teen queen. She really breaks out the thigh muscle in this one, doing some moves that would break the legs of any mortal woman.

I’m a little behind getting my blogging out since my site got taken down. Luckily, I have a backup server that I can use that won’t have that problem. Everyone knows by now that Natalie Fotopoulos and Ivan Koumaev were voted off So You Think You Can Dance(SYTYCD). Everyone knew that was coming. My wife and I both picked them to be off the show. Too bad I can’t prove it since that’s one of the posts that I lost when my site was deleted. Just trust me on it.

The funny thing is that maybe Fox didn’t get the message of who was kicked off. If you look at the main page of Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance website, it has Natalie Fotopoulos as voted off, but Ivan Koumaev doesn’t say he was voted off. What a crappy webmaster!! They should hire me to take care of these things.

Here is the recap of the results show:

Welcome back to the fun of eliminations. Only 6 dancers left, soon to be only 4. At this point the eliminations are totally brutal, like bending steel. Ivan, Natalie, Donyelle, Heidi, Travis and Benji, I’m proud of you all so don’t fret. Tonight’s opening number is once again wicked sweet (I’ve been saving that phrase in a time capsule) courtesy of Mia Michaels.

Our lovely host Cat Deeley graces the stage looking lovely as ever, though a little bit racy tonight. Cat introduces the judges then it’s time to see some music, some solo’s, and who’s going home.

While they wait for the pot of fake suspense to get boiling in the back, we have a musical guest: Omarion. He brings that early 70’s Stevie Wonder vibe that you can’t help but dig just a little bit.

Natalie rips out another page from the intensely emotional dance book, no sexy Madonna-esque moves tonight. She did however blow a kiss to Allison in the audience.

Heidi storms out with her usual fire and frenetic energy. It’s nothing new or special for her, but still a great solo as they go.

Donyelle has really been very passionate in her solos lately and this is no exception. The outfit is a little…strange but the fire and moves are there.

Travis bursts forth with the standard perfect solo, everything timed out and executed perfectly. At this point in the competition it’s very hard to find anything to criticize. Unless you’re a veteran choreographer, everything looks flawless with these final dancers.

Ivan pulls some tight moves, but his ‘tricks’ are starting to show through now. Before it seemed like there was an element of surprise to his popping hip-hop solos, not so much now. He’s still a brilliant dancer.

Benji is really looking like the favorite of this competition and it’s solos like this that show why. He really lights up the stage with this solo, looking professional, but not cold and over-rehearsed.

Now we see what this top 4 is going to look like. First on the chopping block are the guys. I have a feeling everyone knows in their heart of hearts who is going home, but no one will say. Regardless, tonight Ivan’s time is up. Bring in the tear water truck for Natalie and cue the exit reel. I think Ivan had a VERY good run considering his training and technique.

The ladies now, well not really so lady-like at this point in the competition. I can’t take the unnecessary suspense so I’ll cut right to it: Natalie is going home. I hear she may stick around for a few weeks as an emotional coach.

Your final 4 dancers are Donyelle, Benji, Heidi and Travis. See you next week for part 1 of the spectacular season finale!
