Third SYTYCD Season 7 All-Star Selected
Sorry this is so late today! I wasn’t sure if there’d be an announcement today since it’s April Fool’s Day. You probably already know that Nigel Tweeted a few hours ago:
From Season 3 representing Standard and Latin Ballroom PASHA Happy Easter Tweets everybody. I’ll Give you another All-Star Tweet on Tuesday. about 4 hours ago via Echofon
While Pasha wasn’t one of my 10 All-Stars, I’m super excited to have him on the show! I’ve always loved him.
you beat me to it!! i kinda mentioned it in another comment but I wasn’t at my laptop so I couldn’t do it as a full post. All 3 All-Stars so far are totally spot on. Pasha and Lacey’s mannequin routine from Dave Scott remains one of the most original and fun hip hop routines they’ve done on the show in my opinion. Plus he’s an awesome partner, those top 5 girls are lucky lucky!
Just barely. And really, YOU beat ME to it! :)- You’re sooo right about Pasha!
I guess Anya would be the likely name for the latin and standard ballroom. She’s fairly adaptable. Hopefully she’ll be able to work with the contestants. I find that Twitch, Pasha and Kathryn were all a pleasure to work with not only by choreographers but with the other contestants. The likable personality is what made America fall in love with them as well. I’m not sure about Anya’s personality too much though. She probably wasn’t around long enough for me to develop a stronger opinion about her. I don’t think I’ve heard her have any problems with working with contestants. Chelsie Hightower would have been a great pick though :/
lol If she gets eliminated from DWTS then maybe she’ll hop on board the SYTYCD All-star Tamale Train 😛 (wishful thinking)
@Margaret
I couldn’t agree with you more Margaret! Those girls ARE lucky! I wonder who will represent the contemporary and broadway?
Jakob would be an excellent choice but I’m curious about any lifts that might happen.
@Christine. One can still hope Chelsie will be back because DWTS will be over a few weeks before the live shows start! haha. I can dream. haha
And wouldn’t it be awesome for Sara to come back? She is the only hip hop female that actually seemed to be versatile and she had a great personality
@Kenna: I would LOVE for Chelsie to come back. And Sara! What a great suggestion. She’d be awesome! @Christine: I wouldn’t mind Anya, but she’s definitely not at the top of my list. I enjoy watching her with Pasha, of course, but there are many other female alum I’d rather see.
I loved Sara! She wasn’t really as sharp in hip hop since her ‘style’ was more break dancing. She knew how to do jazz and other styles very well though. There weren’t a lot of hip hop females other than Comfort who really stood out for me. Unless they use a contemporary dancer solely for hip hop?
@Christine: I liked Comfort, but didn’t think she was terribly versatile. Maybe she’s become more so in the years since she was on the show? But Sara was pretty good at disappearing into whatever role she was asked to dance.
funny you guys should mention comfort, i just rewatched her routines with thayne, and really gained a new appreciation for her, especially in the broadway piece they did. she and sara are arguably the 2 best “hip-hop” girls the show has ever had, it would be great to see at least one of them come back. love anya, but i’d be okay if she didn’t come back, i found pasha’s personality much more engaging. would love to see chelsie, but only if she’s able to give herself a break after DWTS! from what i’ve seen, she hasn’t had it easy trying to teach Jake the bachelor, lol. I would actually really enjoy seeing Lacey. she has a fun personality and was successful at every genre they threw at them during her season. what about heidi? anybody heard anything about her lately? it would be fun to see her back as well. will would be one of my guy choices for sure, but he’s on broadway in “In the Heights” right now. i would love to see jason from S5, he was such a strong partner and a great personality. nigel tweets another name on tuesday!
@Margaret: Thanks for reminding me! After eagerly anticipating the announcement all weekend, I’d forgotten about it this morning till I read your comment. Check it out <https://puresytycd.com/2010/04/06/fourth-sytycd-season-7-selected/>
I’d love to see Lacey dance again. I’m not sure I love her personality, after following her on Twitter (not that *that* says much about personality, in reality), but I’ve always loved her dancing.
I think she sometimes rubbed people the wrong way, she’s definitely very direct. But, I watched her dance tonight with Dmitry (my 2nd choice for all-star ballroom guy after pasha) on DWTS and I really was reminded how talented she is. They were dancing rumba (I think) to a Reba McEntire performance, and they both danced the hell out of it. They incorporated a wide variety of moves and it was just awesome. Plus, if Benji ever came back as a choreographer again, i think it would be really fun to see Benji choreograph Lacey.
@Margaret: She was one of my favorites during her season and she’s incredibly dynamic, without a doubt. You’re right about her and Dmitry’s dance. 🙂 It would be awesome if Season 7 could let the All-Stars do special routines together. What if the newbie contestants did group routines on their own and the All-Stars did routines on results day?
