SYTYCD S7 Top 8 Results Music
Last week, we all knew Melinda was going home. However we felt about that aside, there was a relative comfort in the certainty. Tonight is nerve-wracking. I kinda wish they’d just tell us at the beginning and then let us enjoy a bunch of performances. But you know they’re not gonna. Sigh…

??? is eliminated to the goodbye song: Black Gold‘s “Shine” – from their album Rush.
All of all Season 7’s music is right here.
I’m sooo glad Robert is out of the bottom 3!! I have no clue why he was there. He is incredibly talented and fun to watch. I sit a home and watch every week and I don’t know why people would think he is cocky and has an ego???? I love him and love to watch him!
I hear ya, Jessica. Though I’m not at all pleased with the Bottom 3, I AM glad Robert’s not there.
I still have to wait to watch the show, but WHY THE HELL IS ASHLEY IN THE BOTTOM THREE???!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA???????!!!!!!!!!
Amazing that Cat single-handedly saved both Jose and Adechike this week.
NO, not amazing. TERRIBLE. AWFUL. They don’t deserve saving.
@Emily: I agree that I’m annoyed both Adechike and Jose skated this week while dancers who didn’t deserve it were in the Bottom 3.
@Ben: Lol. You make Cat sound like a superhero. “Able to save TWO contestants in a SINGLE remark.” I’m glad she stood up for them, even if they both deserve (constructive) criticism.
Jose and Adechike should be gone along with the obnoxious Kent. (Don’t know how much I can watch if Kent stays on. I thought this show was about DANCE.
Where is Mary????
Mia is a great choreographer but can’t judge! We are so tired of her using sound effects instead of words… Adam, you rock.
I WANT MARY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UY7TI
I haven’t watched yet, who got eliminated?
COMENT BACK
ALEX
ah man. What a day. The judges got really lucky that they managed to wiggle out of that decision. I hope they’ve learned their lesson and will stop trying to sway our votes. I was actually happy that AdaChike was safe, after the judges were such hypocritical jerks to him last night.
Don’t get me wrong… I still think he should go next. Or Jose.
IM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAD
🙁
^:'(
I <3 ALEX
I hope Alex has a speedy and successful recovery.
Mia’s “I’m a jerk because I’m passionate” speech didn’t seem real heartfelt. She needs to stick with the choreography (which she does beautifully) and leave the judging to others. I can’t believe I want them to bring back Mary, but I totally do.
Alex was probably my favorite this season, and easily one of the most incredibly gifted dancers I’ve ever seen, so I’m very sad that he’s going, but…
Was Nigel saying they’d bring him back to *compete* in S8? Or did I misunderstand? I love Alex, and I hate that he keeps having all these troubles (first not being let out of his contract, now the injury), but I don’t think bringing him back – except as guest performer – would be in any way fair. He has SUCH a huge fanbase at this point.
A sad day indeed. I think Billy sort of understands Alex’s frustration although to a lesser degree. I think Alex literally had the complete package.
However this certainly makes the playing field really interesting. Who stands out next?
I don’t foresee Jose lasting too much longer. Robert I’m kinda rooting for but I have a feeling Kent is going to take it if he continues to dance the way he does. What genre Hasn’t he done yet? Unless….someone starts blowing me out of the water OR gets a personality check, then we shall see….
This is just like last year though when Billy left, everyone just wanted him back. And here he is being voted out but surviving because of another amazing dancer who was forced to leave the competition before his time. The Irony.
@Christine: I’ve been thinking about that irony a lot the last 12 hours or so.
Am so so heartbroken about Alex!
sigh
It’s going to be hard to not see him perform in the coming weeks. Just the worst situation. Can’t wait to see him dance again in the future.
* Btw, great great site! Love the thoughts being posted here.
** Does anyone know whether the All-stars performance accompanying the guests (eg Natasha Bedingfield) is choreographed by the guest? the all-stars themselves? or a separate pro choreographer? Was curious….
Happy weekend to all!
@Marie: Thanks – I’m so glad you like the site! As for the musical guest performances – I was wondering that myself last night. I don’t know. Maybe we’ll do some digging around. I suspect it’s a case by case basis.
Thanks for the reply, Emilie 🙂
I asked about the choreo b/c I thought I saw both some consistency in the way some of the side-by-side moves were from the previous week (dunno, maybe Mark?) PLUS I saw a little Dominick (or, more specifically Quest Crew) in some of the formations (the clock/circle, the crowd-together/poses, even the beginning speed-walking).
Or I am just over-analyzing…as I usually do! 😉
Keep up the great work!
@Marie: Our reader Margot says the choreo was Nappytabs (in the comments of the Results Thoughts post). Thank goodness you do overanalyze – I’m sure we all appreciate it. And I will try to keep it up, just for you. 🙂
Hey thanks to you and Margot! Now I can stop obsessing…!! Yay
Mia Michael needs to go! I agree she should stop judging and go back to choreograghy. She is talented but she is not the gift to dancers, there are many choreographer’s who are just as good if not better. They need to bring Mary Murphy back! What kind of crap was that( her so called apology), She calls herself a teacher<far from it. She needs to take some of the demeanal comments and sound effect words she uses and apply them to herself. SYTUCD needs to Get rid of her.
as sad as i am that Alex had to go… it wasnt kind of good because otherwise who would have gone!!! i honestly love every single person this season but i feel like billy doesnt have a large enough fan base, which is so horrible becasue he is obviously amazing.
Also, Robert should get way more credit. I think he is amazing! As well as Kent. Even ignoring his personality he is AMAZING, and his hungry jazz face is reallyyyyy cute 😀
