SYTYCD Top 4 Routines You Hope to See
I’m going to steal part of another great comment from Christine to talk about the routines you’d like to see from the SYTYCD top 4. Here’s the routines Christine lists that she’d like to see from the So You Think You Can Dance top 4.
Kayla Brandon: Paso Doble
Kayla Evan: Lyrical Jazz
Jeanine Brandon: Contemporary or even Bollywood. (As much as I like the soft hip hop by Jeanine, I have a feeling Brandon will dance too hard and will lack connection with his partner.)
Jeanine Evan: BROADWAY or even west coast swing if they can pull that off without pulling their face too much (bring Benji back!) … but I have a feeling it might be some waltz or if Evan can just keep his frame straight)
Brandon Evan: hmm…not sure yet. Broadway is the only thing i can think of that’s broad enough (no pun intended) to incorporate their strengths
Jeanine and Kayla: Hip hop might be interesting here and Contemporary would be battle of technique and strength. (This pairing makes me worried for Jeanine because I feel like Kayla could definitely outdance her depending on the choreography. If this was a Wade Robson routine, it would take both acting and skill to make it a great piece where I think Jeanine might outshine Kayla. It’s just whether or not their connection with each other and to the audience will be achieved)
Top 4 dance: Something with a lot of power. I have a feeling these are amongst the Strongest dancers we’ve had. Chuck full of muscles from top 6 and down.
Personally, I don’t have many preferences for this one. My only thought would be that I’d love to see Brandon and Evan do a Krump battle of some sort. Put Lil’ C with the cliche broadway white boy and the muscular black boy and I think they could create a pretty entertaining Krump battle. I mean the difference between what Brandon and Evan would do would be hilarious and great to watch I think.
What styles would you like to see from our top 4?
Hmm…haven’t really thought about it too much. I kinda enjoyed being surprised…lol. I just hope their solos are creative. I’m looking forward to Thursday show…it’s always nice to see the top 20 together again.
I think the boys should get a Wade piece and the girls get -the weird guy whos name is drawing a blank that did the Alien in-pregnating Catlyn and Jason piece- A pop jazz piece. Even though I would love to see Evan try some Krump, then if or when he masters it, the votes will come pouring if for him.
Since this is a wish site, more than anything, I was hoping for a Brandon/Kayla contemporary choreographed by Mia. I think it would have been Emmy worthy.
Jackie,
This is more than just a wish site. Although, I like the idea that it is a wish site too;-)
Your wish is still a possibility. Brandon and Kayla still have one performance together and we do need Brandon and Mia to meet at some point. Otherwise, it will be unfortunate.
GO-GO! Nowhere to go but up! I liked the attempt on SYTYCDCanada no matter how… unfortunate the result was. In any case, we haven’t really seen either of them be a fun sort of sexy. It could be an interesting way to go.
Or, a bolero! They like to use different styles than normal (Lindy hop, trepak). Plus, it would be a callback to that sad couple that auditioned. Though, I wouldn’t want to see either of the gentlemen dance it.
John:
Wow thanks for pulling my comment out into a seperate entry! I know it’s difficult for a lot of people to really look forward to the dances at this point because (in relation to the raw dancers post), everyone is technically too strong. Because everyone has high expectations already it’s making the choreographers push the dancers which is maybe the cause of america voting for the Choreography.
I would like to see Brandon and Evan do krump–that’s a great idea! Wow. And I’d like to see Jeanine and Kayla do a weird contemporary piece–or better yet, a Mandy Moore jazz. I wonder what 80’s one-hit wonder we’d get to see there? You know she loves those 80’s pieces. lol I think it’d be great to see Jeanine versus Kayla in their own styles–that would rock. However, it’d be neat to see some sort of latin battle between the two of them if they could pull it off somehow without male partnering.
I would like to see a Brandon and Jeanine rumba or tango. I think that would be jaw-droppingly hot. 😉
Kelsey – Brian Friedman choreographed the Caitlin/Jason alien piece
And I am also jumping on that Brandon-Kayla-Mia-routine train. I think it would be pretty amazing. Although, Jeanine would do a great job too! It seems to me that Kayla and Brandon have better chemistry though. But seriously—they have to match up Brandon & Mia. Maybe its not a big deal anymore because she has already praised him and backtracked on her initial comments.
I think a Brandon-Evan krump would be quite the show. I’m sure Brandon would knock it out of the park. And hopefully Evan would be a pleasant surprise. I actually thought he performed really well in the NappyTabs hip hop number, however….krump is much different. He’s got some groove though. I have a hard time believing his Krump won’t come across as kind of silly looking. but maybe he can pull it off. it will at least be entertaining.
I also think a Kayla-Jeanine pop jazz routine would be awesome…esp if it was a Wade routine. Another cool Sonya routine would be awesome. OR hip hop….we haven’t seen a girl/girl hip hop. Really….if NappyTabs, Mia, Sonya, or Wade do a piece for them….I’ll probably be happy.
Hopefully Wade at least does something for the finale.
Brandon/Kayla: contemporary, jazz, paso doble, hip hop
Brandon/Jeanine: contemporary, hip hop, pop jazz (just cuz their last one was awesome), maybe a hot latin ballroom number, or disco
Evan/Kayla: hip hop, Broadway, waltz–they’re last one was pretty good!
Evan/Jeanine: krump, contemporary
Im excited for what past routines they bring back on the finale. I bet we see the Tyce Breast Cancer routine, Mia’s addiction, probably a few by Brandon & Jeanine because they always did great- maybe their wade routine, the tango, or the cha-cha. Maybe the Shane Sparks zombie hip hip. Brandon/Jeanine’s pop jazz. Brandon & Kayla’s contemporary
Maybe they can just do the Bleeding Love routine…again 🙂
I bet we’ll see the butt dance, and I’m also hoping to see Brandon and Janette’s Cha Cha…I’m not a fan of ballroom, but that was HOT! And there will be a dance with Phillip and Caitlin, too. Hmmm. For Phillip, I think either the Broadway routine (with the couch) or the NappyTabs piece where they didn’t want to go to bed angry (the very first dance of the performance shows!) For Caitlin…not sure. The Bollywood?
Stephanie,
Randi’s butt will definitely be included in the finale. I think Caitlin’s will probably be the impregnated alien, but it should be the Bollywood since it was the better one. Her hand stand with her feet doing the Bollywood moves was still a huge highlight from this season for me.
FINALE AGAIN! Can you believe it’s the end of the 5th season already? 😮 time passes so fast.
got over my mourning over janette. now i just really hope the dancers put in all they have left and really just dance from their hearts and show their love for dancing. i would really like to see the passion of dancing from them one last time.
this season may not be the most memorable, but filled with amazing dancers and some great routines to be remembered.
so yeah. can’t wait to see who wins. actually it doesn’t matter since all of them deserve to be winners. 😀
i bet melissa and ade’s contemporary, kayla and kupono’s contemporary, brandon and janettes’s argentine tango, randi and evan’s contemporary will come up again. i think. i’m hoping for a reenactment of the contemporary that karla and jonathan did, but it probably most likely wouldn’t, sadly. it was one of the only contemp pieces which i really felt both dancers, especially karla, have the maturity and substance in their movement to dance it. and stacey tookey’s amazing. so, yeah.
but melissa and ade’s will definitely comeup again, i am willing to place my bet. 😀
IS IT WEDNESDAY YET???
^ LOL too true julia.
i want to see Brandon & Evan tackle a Krump! that’d be amazing. but actually if ANY of the top 4 did Krump that would be amazing.
Kayla/Jeanine should do a Latin ballroom. that’d be very interesting. and a contemporary to compare techniques.
ROFLOL!!
Can you imagine Jeanine and Kayla doing a krump battle? 2 white girls trying to get their Krump on. I’m going to request it of Lil’ C on Twitter.
I can barely come up with a wish list. I wish Ade was in the finale.
Lindsey Renuard: Me too!
Ade, Brandon, Jeanine & Kayla were my fave top 4.
