SYTYCD Top 6 Results Thoughts (Finale Part II)
It hasn’t been a terribly long time since the season began (or since Season 5, for that matter), but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been rabidly looking forward to tonight’s finale show.
My thoughts, as they happen…
-Love watching each of the Top 6 talk a little and then say, “I wanna win.” Anybody else think Kathryn being last is prophetic? ;”) Anybody else hope that it will be prophetic?
-AWESOME group routine! It reminded me a bit of last season’s Nappytabs/Dmitry group number and a bit of the “one” routine from Chorus Line. Both of which I loved, so I’m happy. One of the highlights in the routine, for me, is seeing Peter again. I LOVE the Top 6 entrance and that they’re the last ones standing at the end. Perfect.
-Cat says that the beginning of the season seems like only yesterday… yeah, no kidding…
-6 judges on the panel tonight: Lil C, Tyce, Debbie, Adam, Mary and Nigel. It’s good to see Lil C, Tyce and Debbie again, but it doesn’t have the same feeling it did in previous seasons when they participated, as judges and choreographers. Debbie didn’t choreography this season. Did Lil C? I can’t remember. John says once, he thinks. Tyce did, I know. But it doesn’t feel the same as it usually does at this point. Still, it’s great to see them again. I miss Mia up there, of course.
-I’m liking the Avatar connection. Wonder if people who don’t normally watch SYTYCD will who will watch tonight for that, for the Zoe Saldana/Sigourny Weaver stuff, for the footage and the theme song.
-Cat mentions the upcoming auditions for Season 7, but STILL no mention of the Season 6 tour. What’s going on here?
-The judges’ favorites begin. Lil C picks the Russell, Legacy and Kevin routine from the Meet the Top 20 show. Not one of my favorites, but it’s fun.
-Adam picks the “Tore My Heart” 
Sonya routine with Ellenore and Jakob. Now, this IS one of my favorites. Love seeing this again.
-Nigel picks the tappers routine from the Meet the Top 20 show. Again, not my favorite from even that one night. It was nice to see the tappers, of course. But I wonder what it means that there are already two favorites from the Meet the Top 20, before the competition even began.
-Mary picks… a new routine? Whaaa? The DiLillos perform a jive they choreographed. While it’s fun and great to see them dance together in their style, I have two thoughts. A) This new routine took away a spot that could’ve been for an actual favorite from this seaosn. B) The DiLillos must be going home first. C) Subtle song choice with “Straight to…Number One” . At least they have a sense of humor. 🙂
-Leona Lewis performs the Avatar them, “I See You” . I’m so not a Leona Lewis fan. I’m not a Celine Dion fan, either, but I could always see how “My Heart Will Go On” was so popular. This is awful. At least there’s Avatar footage in the background. That’s really nice, at least. I keep hoping J.Lo will come out on stage and show Leona Lewis how to sing. By taking the mic by force.
-Man, I hope Cat doesn’t have to say all the Top 6’s names over and over through the show. That sounded like it was tough.
-The Groovaloos are coo. The girl reminds me of Tabitha. Anybody else?
-Nigel picks the Kathryn and Jakob contemporary from last night. I’m on board with that. LOOOVE this routine. Makes me wonder what his choice was before last night, though. 🙂
-Tyce picks Mollee and Nathan’s Bollywood. It’s good to see it, for sure, but I dunno about favorite… You can see how Mollee has grown, I think, though I don’t know if Nathan demonstrates as much growth in this early routine. Did they change up the end with him just handing her the sword? Nathan seemed a bit wobbly at the end.
-Technical difficulties? We can’t hear Cat. Then, I swear I hear her say, “Mia!” and I’m excited, thinking that Mia’s making a guest appearance to announce HER favorite routine from the season. But no, Russell is injured and is supported on stage by Ryan.
-Who gets eliminated first. It’s quick. Quick because it’s hard for Russell to stand? He’s a stand up guy and continues to support Russell as he’s eliminated. Good guy.
-Love watching Adam Lambert perform. This feels like sacrilege to say, but I think I’d rather watch more dancing, though…
-A recap of Season 6. Pretty cool. We’ve come a long way in a short time. This is a nice reminder.
-Cat brings everybody on stage again and jokes, “It’s amazing what some people will do for a stool.” Lol. Nobody says how he got injured, but I suspect it might’ve been that leap from the stage in the hip hop with Legacy and Kevin earlier.
-Ashleigh’s #5. I think she saw this coming when Ryan was eliminated. You could see it on her face a little. So far, my predictions are correct. This seems right to me.
-Adam picks the Ellenore and Legacy Travis Wall “dangerous routine.” Yay for Adam’s picks! He’s doing a great job, cause this is one of my absolute favorites.
-Debbie picks the “frog dance” with Noelle and Russell, which I’m also pretty pleased about, even if we don’t get to see it live since Russell’s injured.
-Ellenore is #4. She’s gorgeous and I love that Sonya says “love you” from the audience. I love Ellenore. Amanda texts me from the Kathryn hometown party: “She is the top girl. It’s nuts here.”
-Lil C picks a contemporary as his favorite. And not just any contemporary, but the one from Meet the Top 20 with Ariana, Channing, Nathan and Jakob. This is awesome to see. But…Nathan seemed to struggle with Channing there at the end. What was up with that?
-And Mary picks a hip hop – Kathryn and Russell’s specifically.
-It was cool seeing Mary J. Blige perform, but I would’ve preferred more…dancing…
-Nigel picks the Wade and Amanda Robson Top 20 group routine and I’m sooooo glad. Even if it is another taped routine, it rocks to see it again. It really sucks that Russell’s injured because they have to count on all these taped performances and the other dancers don’t get to dance again.
-Kathryn is #3 and I’m SO disappointed. I was okay with her being #2, but I really think she earned at least #2. But…we had a female winner last year, so it’s a “male year,” apparently. Grumble grumble grumble. Amanda responds to my text (No!!!!) with, “I know. Now I’m team Jakob.”
-Jennifer Lopez performs “Louboutins” and this is the *only* musical performance I wasn’t missing dancing for because there was dancing! Not only was there dancing, but J.Lo’s a big SYTYCD fan and handpicked her favorite female SYTYCD dancers from Season 6 and seasons past to dance with her!! I spotted Kherrington, Kayla, Karen, Ariana and Courtney from Season 4. I’ll re-watch it to pick out more. Who did you see?
-It’s down to Russell and Jakob. I would’ve said Jakob hands down last week. But he had a “meh” night last night, whereas Russell had a strong night. And, according to your comments, Russell’s line was consistently busy. Still, I’m surprised to see Russell wins, even though I have an inkling of it right before Cat says it. And I’m actually turned off by his tearing his shirt off and calling up *just Kevin* to be with him on the stage, after hopping away from Jakob. And he’s injured, right? He seemed to forget it a bit there at the end. But, no sour grapes – this is a sweet result, even if it’s not the one I wanted because Russell has a had a great season.
What do y’all think?
RUSSELL WON!! IM SO EXCITED!!! :DDDDDD He deserved it! Heheh :DDDD
Dances I would have chosen for the finale:
Kathryn & Legacy’s Hip Hop
Jakob & Mollee’s Viennese Waltz
Kathryn & Legacy’s Contemporary
Ryan & Ellenore’s Broadway (the spookey one)
Fantastic results show, despite Russell’s injury.
Woot!
*does happy crazy dance!*
That is all. 🙂
Katee Shean and Janette Manara was also in the JLo routine.
I must admitt I was wondering for a good first half of that JLo performance wondering when my SYTYCD girls were coming on. (Should’ve had them on sooner)
So good to see Kherington, Katee, Kayla and others up on that stage again!
Happy for Russell, but kinda shocked that Jakob lost :/
YAY RUSSELL!!!!! I thought Jakob was going to win, and I would’ve been very happy with that result, too, but I’m totally excited for Russell!
Dances I would have chosen for the finale:
Jakob and Ashleigh Hip-hop
Nathan and Mollie’ – Pop Jazz
Ryan and Noelle’s hip-hop
Russell and Noelle’s Contemporary
Ryan and Ashleigh from last night
Kathryn and Legacy from top 14 and the waltz!
Russell and Ashleigh’s bollywood since she was not able to dance it last week!
I was happy with the top 3. I thought Russell would win back in week 1 or 2, and although I came to hope it would be Jakob or Kathryn, I’m still happy for Russell.
Just once, though, it would be nice to see the best dancer actually win…
I’m happy Russell won, as I thought he would since day 1. I was a little shocked that after he won, he tore off his shirt and acted like his leg didn’t hurt. I know adrenaline in a situation like that probably takes over, so he might be hurting a lot more tomorrow. I was happy with the top 4, those were the 4 I had been voting for through out the season.
I thought Leona Lewis’s song was terrible! It was good seeing the girls from past seasons in the dance w/ JLo. I was also impressed by JLo when she was talking w/ Cat after her performance.
Thanks for including my texts in the blog. All my thoughts from the party will be posted sometime tomorrow night.
A little surprised Russell won. It’s that curse of the really technical male dancer placing 2nd. Anyways great show I would have included the Kathryn and Legacy contemporaty in the favorites.
oh Lil C did choreograph this season and Debbie was a part in forming the top 20.
I had a feeling that if it came down to Russell and Jakob, it would be Russell who’d win.
I was rooting for Kathryn… totally bummed she came in 3rd 🙁
And I agree about the musical performances…
this isn’t American Idol… did we really have to have THREE musical guests?! Leona Lewis was awful. Just awful. There should have been more dances!
russel won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The way he celebrated showed true emotion. Of course his injury didnt bother him after he won. If you won a quarter of a million dollars you wouldnt be worried about your injuries, and obviously he must be really good friends with kevin and thats why he invited him on stage and not the others.
I was very disappointed with the finale show (not the results mind you, even though I had thought it was Jakob for sure). If you had asked me which dances were my favorites of the season, I certainly wouldn’t have picked FOUR routines from the “Meet the top 20” show — especially ones that were taped. So not only were they not my favorite dances but there weren’t even that many dances because we had four musical guests. I have taped the finale for every season but this is one that I can’t see myself ever wanting to watch again.
Routines that would have been nice:
*Ryan/Kathryn cha cha
*Mollee/Jakob viennese waltz
*Ashleigh/Jakob hip hop
*Kathryn/Legacy Paso doble
among others too
@Amanda: I’m glad you’re okay I included them. Lol. They were part of my finale-viewing experience, so I felt I should. 🙂
@Matthias: I agree. However, I think the taped thing was last minute because Russell got hurt. I suspect most or all of those routines would’ve been live, otherwise. Bummer for us, but always good to see oldd good routines again, whether it’s on my t.v. screen for a live show or privately on my computer. 🙂 But, I did mean to make that point that almost all of the judges’ favorite routines were from either the Meet the Top 20 or last night. Which was…weird. I do hope it means they’ll continue doing the Meet the Top 20, which I liked a lot.
There is no solo..That is only what i sad about..And We missed lots of great routines in this season..Specially Legacy & Katheryn’s Contemporary..
and I was little suprised about the result, I thought that Katheryn or Jakob were only winner..but after i thought about Russel’s journey..now i understand Russel had a great journey, too..
We have so many injuries in this season..I think Fox need to make a new rule about the injuries..And Top 20 performed their style was good idea, but Top 6? without Solos? It was so bad..
I loved this performance because it has some of my favorite girls. I loved it that Katee and Kayla were sandwiching J.lo.
I could not take my eyes off of Katee, she’s become a sexy woman. I’m glad she is getting so much work – Last year’s Emmy’s, Tyce’s assistant, Glee and this.
From Left to Right:
Jeanette (Season 5)
Arianna (Season 6)
Kherington (Season 4)
Karen (Season 6)
Molley (Season 6)
Katee (Season 4)
Kayla (Season 5)
Noelle (Season 6)
Bianca (Season 6)
Channing (Season 6)
Courtney (Season 4)
Pauline (Season 6)
Thanks for listing the dancers, Dennis!
RUSELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy!!!!!
I thought overall this was a strong final night. Take away all the stuff we’ve been griping about all season, and we still saw some fantastic dancing.
LOVED the top 18 number, so cool, and it was great to see some of other contestants shine. I was especially taken with Kevin, I had forgotten how much I missed seeing him. I do wish he could have gone further, I would have loved to have seen him with different partners.
Strange to see all the judges up there after having the same 3 all season, and I caught onto them picking so many from last night, weird! Btw, according to Blake McGrath’s Twitter, Mia is doing a lot of work for SYTYCD Canada, he says working exclusively for their show, but I don’t know. Don’t read Blake’s Twitter unless you want some REALLY honest opinions, after all, he IS Blake, haha.
I wasn’t entirely surprised with how the order turned out. Yet again, the technically sound dancer doesn’t win, however I think Jakob took it very well. Russell just has a magnitism about him that was unstoppable all year. They will both go on to have fantastic careers.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually really enjoyed Jennifer Lopez’s performance! My dad was sitting watching with me and even HE liked it! Kudos to @Dennis for the list of the girls, I was only able to catch a few of them.
You’re welcome! I watched it over and over.
J.Lo gave me clues that the Season 6 Girls were in it. I knew that Ashleigh, Ellenore and Katheryn wouldn’t be in it so I had to find the other seven girls to find the girls from previous seasons. Jeanette looks like an elf. Kherington has an unforgettable smile. Katee and Kayla are easy to pinpoint. Courtney has a very upclose shot of her face that lasts for half a second.
Did anyone find Waldo?
Was Pauline the only one who didn’t get a featured dance?? Sad… Even Arriana got to dance (other than the top 19 dance), Then again…Victor didn’t get a chance either.
I’m kinda shocked that Jakob didn’t win. Russell is a well deserved winner. There was just a lot of things missed this season. I actually liked watching the packages because it gives me an idea what i’m seeing. What’s the interpretation? I can’t read Sonya’s mind. And the solos would have helped too. Jeanine’s solo in the finale I think was the clincher for most people and shows off their personality.
Actually I think this was a great Season for Sonya. Whatever dances she choreographed worked out well for the most part. Travis as well. Jason Gilkeson had a tremendous season too.
Sometimes I wonder how the routines would have gone if Legacy was in the finale.
Looking forward to Billy Bell next season =D
Well, my favourite male and favourite female both “won”, so I’m more than happy with the results – even if I got the order wrong 🙂
A win for Jakob would not have been surprise, but as is pointed out regularly the show isn’t solely about technical proficiency. Russel was the most charismatic personality on the show by a long way and his dancing wasn’t too shabby either.
No complaints (although the tapes dances were a let own), and I’m really looking forward to seeing Billy actually compete next season (if he makes the top 20 that is).
I guess after the reading the rest of the comments, I must be the only one feeling disappointed. It was a disappointing finale to an underwhelming season in general. While I think the dances were great, did we really need to see 2 dances that were shown the night before?? And did we really need 4 musical performances? At least JLo had dancing. Booo to Adam Lambert. I think he’s conservative after the AMA debacle. I skipped through the other 2. I was hoping for some kind of “surprise dance”, like the judges dancing to One last season. I think Jakob may have ultimately been hurt by a 6 person finale. I wonder if Ashleigh and Ryan were eliminated in a Top 6 show, if people that voted for them would have voted for Jakob in the finale. I guess we’ll never know. Bummer
This season was so MEH that I skipped the finale and just read the results online. I am still not sorry I missed anything! Too many injuries, too few judges, too few great routines, let’s get the show better by going back to rotating judges, decent sets, MIA…
yes back to rotating judges, keeping the same judges got boring…….really fast!
@Amie & Glory: Keep Adam and rotate everybody else. 🙂
Jakob didn’t have personality? He may not have oozed as much personality while dancing as S5 Phillip or Twitch but I seriously doubt that he didn’t have personality. He had both technique and personality which is why he excelled at Broadway numbers. I would also say that he had more personality than Russell, who I feel won because of his triumphant journey. Jakob didn’t have a journey, he’s been brilliant since episode 1.
I think the reason so many people latch on to dancers like Kathryn and Jeanine is that we aren’t saturated with them like we are with featured auditioners like Russell. They sneak up and knock our socks off. Audience members also latch on to dancers like Russell and Joshua because it’s almost incomprehensible how WELL they tackle this stuff. And finally, people love the underdog, especially the underdog victorious, which is how dancers like Ryan and Evan make it to the finale. This leaves truly talented technicians like Jakob, Will, Travis, Danny, etc. on the sidelines because, yes, they dance amazingly but that continued excellence (and the choreographers using their “signature” moves like the jettes in Jakob’s case) means we are treated to almost the same performance week after week. I literally got bored of Jakob and watched his partners. I knew he wasn’t going to surprise me because he had already.
What I’d like to see in the next season is less pandering to the excellent dancers. Jakob spent most of season 6 in the air, but I would have loved seeing him physically shoved out of his element. He’s flexible, let’s make him dance inflexibly. He had one hip hop, and I didn’t really care about watching him because Ashleigh was rocking my world. What I did notice is he didn’t hit nearly as hard as she did.
As for Mia, she’s had some great routines for sure but I loved the difference in contemporary choreographers. Travis, Stacey, and the pair that did Jakob & Kathryn’s were welcome changes. If Mia did one or two routines in the next season that would be great, but I think doing SO MANY for each season exacted its toll on her creativity.
Finally, this season was shoved around and had so many different things changed all at once that, had even one small alteration been made, we could have had drastically different results.Could this be due to a fall season vs. a summer season? Could we see a return to format in the summer? Regardless, scaling back on some of them would prove to be beneficial. Heck, we could call this the Injured Season! How different would things have been if Noelle or Ashleigh had been cut with their injuries, if Billy Bell hadn’t gotten ill?
Sorry to ramble, my thoughts on this season are many. (What I mean to say is – don’t even get me started on Nathan…)
@Ben: Well, now I’m dying to know what you have to say about Nathan, do tell! Keep an eye out for my Cheers and Jeers of Season 6 post, coming soon.
Awww poor Nathan. He did so well the first 2 weeks but just couldn’t seem to recover from the harsh criticism over his salsa. I think him and Mollee just had some bad chemistry, because they did well with their solos and new partners.
Seeing Bianca dance made me wonder what the season would have been like had she not been voted out in week 2. I didn’t think her contemp with Victor was bad, but I don’t think they would have been bottom 3 had voting been allowed.
Arianna was never even given a chance either. I suppose I just feel slighted that 4 dancers were eliminated without any consideration of the audience at all.
@Ben, I agree with you! I thought Jakob had tons of personality! He was my favorite dancer this whole season, though I had a sinking feeling he wasn’t going to win.
I agree with all of your comments about the choreographers, I wish we could have seen more of Travis and Stacey Dwight/Desmond. And Sean Cheesman! He does contemporary and Broadway as well as African Jazz. I wish we could have seen one of Spencer Liff’s routines again, specifically Ryan and Ellenore’s Chicago piece, I loved that one, way more than the tap routine.
Overall, it was great to see all the dancing again, though it was definitely a reminder of what could have been.
another season gone and once again none of my favorites won. 🙁 haha. so sad
melody
allison / travis / ivan
danny
chelsie hightower / mark / katee
kayla / ade
ellenore
anyways, congrats russell!!!
Nathan was given a golden opportunity, and I don’t think he ever rose to the occasion. His solos were strong in auditions and his potential was great. He took his criticism as insults and let it hamper his performances. His sour faces were obvious to everyone and it was no surprise when he got cut. I just think there was an implicit promise made there that wasn’t kept. Nathan wasn’t as amazing as he could/should/would have been. And the show didn’t help either, pairing him with Mollee was an absolutely bad idea (as made obvious by Mollee’s late-season growth) and giving him plenty of styles that didn’t suit his personality. Nathan had a lot to offer but I felt like both he and the show stunted that.
I only started watching SYTYCD in Season 5, so that’s the only comparison I have, and with that, this finale disappointed. It wasn’t so much the chosen performances (though I agree, it was heavy on the first and last shows), or the actual results. I think Russell deserved it, though his behavior at the end (only Kevin?!) kind of spoiled it a bit. No, I think it was just a mediocre TV Show. Too many musical acts with too little connection to the show; and I could have done without JLo in JLo’s performance (Loius Vuitton’s? Seriously?), just the SYTYCD girls would have been fine. I guess we have to live with the taped recordings as a result of Russell’s injury…. The most disappointing moment for me was when Tyce announced the Bollywood routine: Did anybody else notice that his excitement was fake that he read his words off some paper in front of him? He kept on looking down. Now I know that probably nothing spontaneous ever happens on TV shows, even if the audience is to believe so, but it can be done well an believable (as it probably was with Mary’s hilarious Botox moment last season) or terribly bad, as was Tyce’s announcement in this finale.
I guess to some extent this applies to the entire season: That they had to be finished before Christmas could hardly be a surprise, so why did they draw out the beginning of the season for so long, with 6 one hour audition shows instead of three two hour shows as in season 5, only to hurry into a six-dancer finale? I loved the season 5 finale when everybody danced with everybody, so there was an all-boys and an all-girls routine which were skipped in the very short and uncelebratory final perfomance show this season.
I feel sorry for the dancers: Their chances to showcase their ability suffered from mediocre TV production.
Season six was fabulous dancing and fair results. It was just bad TV.
@Ben, Who said Jakob didn’t have personality?
Other than that, you’ve been quite comprehensive as to why he didn’t win. Jakob didn’t take us on a journey, he was just there, fully formed. Where’s the fun in that?
I have conflicting opinions on what I’d like to see changed about the show. I’d love to see rotatiing partners from the start, not just for the top 10 – but I’d also like to see an even spread of styles, which is’nt possible with random partners each week.
@Robin, it was in reference to your comment about having solely technical proficiency. Just look at his Sonya piece will Ellenore, there was so much charisma in that performance! I’m not sure if you meant to say that Jakob was ONLY a technician or not, but that’s how I read it 😛
As for an even spread, it would be neat if they had, say, 6 “set” styles (hip hop, contemporary, broadway, jazz, latin ballroom, other ballroom, for example) and then wild card styles, which would be the atypical styles like bollywood, can can, pop jazz, stuff like that. I think it would work nicely.
I didn’t mean to imply that Jakob had no personality, just that Russel (to me) showed more over the course of the season.
Although I realise it’s impossible to make the show perfectly fair, it irks me that a bad initial pairing can seriously undermine a dancer’s chances, and that some dancers can get through an entire season without really being pushed out of thier comfort zones (Jakob would have impressed me more had he had to do something like a hard hitting hip hip, or even a bollywood routine. Not his fault, but still).
Wouldn’t you agree that Nathan & Mollee had way too many ballroom routines to really show their stuff off?
One thing that bugs me is that there was no Top 5 girls or guys routine this year, or was there an boys piece and a girls piece at the finally OR did they do a top 6 piece that just featured all of them like they did the Top 4. The season….was a let down….maybe it was the stage, or the feeling that the show was rushed. I am still happy Russell won though.
And Paula never guest stared….go figure.
ok…..Nathan DEFINITELY fell in the bollywood routine….right? I stumbled backwards, and “recovered” by jumping back up and doing his posing moves before freezing.
Anybody else catch that?
As a fan since season 1, I will also admit to being disappointed by this season. And that’s upsetting b/c Russell was my favorite literally from the moment he finished his audition. Too many changes were hurled at us, which combined & just left everybody uncomfortable. They stole our focus away from the dance.
I will say this about the amazing technicians who haven’t resonated (to the tune of a win) with the viewers… perfection is kind of boring. I love, love, loved Travis, Danny, Will, etc. But they were almost TOO good. Add Brandon and Jakob to that mix, as well. Nothing seemed hard, or as if they had to even struggle a little bit for it. Also, personally I like a bit of “swagger” or raw-ness… and each of those I mentioned didn’t seem to have that. They had no achilles heel… or at least, the producers wouldn’t let us see it (or maybe the blame lies with the choreographers… jete much?). I would love to see a masculine technician with a touch of “swagger” shows us how he has to work at his craft… does that exist? lol
For Season 7 and beyond, I’d like:
1) kill the new stage (or at least the megatron)
2) let fate back into the competition (pick your partner AND your dance out of a hat)
3) Top 20 = America’s input like seasons 1-5. Period. Non-negotiable
4) Rotating Judges! Even if Adam keeps his perma-gig, let’s rotate a 4th judge and just limit their comment time allotment. At times, I felt like I was hearing the same comment said 3 different ways… but substantively identical.
5) Pre-dance packages either ALL the time or NONE of the time. I personally think they’re an irreplaceable part of the show. How else do we fall in love with the dancers as a whole? But either you think personality plays a part or it doesn’t… this sometimey thing is for the birds.
6) Single-sex routines! Top 5 on through the finale… I missed those. Especially in the final competition night. Ashleigh would have been EXPOSED…
Sorry so long… but I love this show so much. I could wax poetic for hours on end, lol.
[…] Season 6 in review. Y’all brought up a lot of this stuff in recent comments (Mrs. D’s comment in particular), which gave me the idea to do a review of the season, what […]
[…] all this hubbub was about is Jakob Karr, who not only made Top 20, but also Top 10 and Top 4 and eventually came in 2nd place to Russell Ferguson. And he auditioned in New Orleans. I got to see his audition, in fact, though I didn't know it was […]
