SYTYCD Season 7 Finale Part 1 Discussion
Here y’all go. Straight from me to you – a place to safely store all your predictions, gripes, hopes and dreams for tonight’s Top 3 Performance show, the last of Season 7. Doesn’t that make you all nostalgic already? Do you remember, waaaaay back to Season 7?
Anyone else that went to the season 5 tour expect Phillip and Jeanine just to run out on the stage in Russian costume and do the dance.
LoFro just killed it. Harbinger of things to come, maybe?
I think Lauren is going to win this thing! I don’t think there’s any dance she can’t do….I love both the guys, but they both may have peaked just a tad bit early, where Lo is right where she needs to be…(-:
Well, I was a little bit disappointed with that routine because I thought the pillow distracted from some of the movements…especially for LoFro cause she was holding it most of the time.
But I agree with Nigel that there were touches of genius in there…but I thought the pillow wasn’t all that helpful.
@Amanda: Stole my thought! 🙂 Lol. Well, we were at the same show. I totally did expect them to run out. That would’ve been SO funny.
@ABnew: You may be right.
@beth: I hear ya, but I still really liked the way they fell on it and that lift and lots of other details in it.
Emilie–I agree…there were some lovely moments with it, but I kinda wish it were like the bed in Dreaming with a Broken Heart instead of them holding it in front of them all the time. I dunno. There was one camera angle that really kinda explains what I mean…Lauren was walking forward with the pillow ahead of her, and you couldn’t see the quality of her movement–and that bothered me. Strange prop.
Yeah, I agree with the comments about the pillow dance. I also think the nerd routine was cute, but have to agree with nigel & meanie mia that it was not really finale worthy. They are capable of so much more….but thought it was sweet of Kent to come to mandy’s defense…always the nice guys.
@beth: Yeah, I agree that it covered her a bit – especially since she’s not that big and it was a good-sized pillow. Lol. 🙂
omg. I’m glad to see the emotion from kent. he has so much more than the faces…love him.
Can someone tell me what Kent just said to set the judges off about him just becoming an artist? My hubby decided to take a shower at that exact moment which drowned it out. Ugh!
@Cynthia He got all choked up and said something about how it becomes about the emotion & story and not about the steps…that set them off about him finally understanding what it means to be an artist not just a dancer…hope I got it right (0:
@ ABnew – Thank you!
Aw, Kent just had a moment. And we all got to see it. He really was feeling something and going through something there. I think this whole experience has really had the most impact on him.
Where he came from and how his life has changed? What a crazy transition he’s had.
On another note…Lauren’s solo? Wow. Pretty much reminded me of Jeanine’s from season 5. So. Good.
Love WSS. 🙂
Kathryn killed that. Really liked it once they started the partner work. (and haha at Adam calling out Nigel!! lol)
Would have liked to see him a little more controlled (which is my major criticism of Robert). The beginning was a good example of that. Part of it he needed to pull it tighter rather than flailing…Mia actually said it pretty well. but it was a major part for me.
Prob because this was one of my favorite original pieces of choreography…so I’m a little bit iffy on it. But the concept was great.
@beth: Cept that when we saw Jeanine’s solo, *everybody* knew she’d just won. It’s a lot closer this time around…

A little off-topic, sorry. But you can’t not love Cat after reading that..especially her first answer. She needs a freakin’ Emmy.
Rah. A little bit annoyed that Robert keeeeeeps getting Kathryn..
Emilie–oh, you’re definitely right. I don’t feel the slight bit confident that Lauren will win or lose. I feel like my predictions will be for naught ’cause it’s so close this season and they’re all dancing so strongly tonight.
@Linsey: I hear ya. I love the two of them dancing together and they’re the closest thing we’ve had this season to a partnership like in previous seasons. But, it would be nice to see him dance with other All-Stars.
@beth: Yeah, why don’t *you* try doing a Power Ranking. Seriously, will you do it for me tonight??! I dunno HOW I’m gonna rank these three dancers.
Okay, if Lauren doesn’t win this I’m throwing my shoe at the TV!! LOL That’s all I have to say.
Oh, Emilie, I forgot you have to do that! I’m so sorry!
YOu know what you should do? Just say “no comment”. That’s what all the celebs do, right?
@Cynthia: I hope, for your tv’s sake, that she does. 🙂
@Emilie Yeah, so does my hubby. Actually, I think he may be hiding all my shoes now as I type this. *wink*
omgoodness what is happening?
they just both look so uncomfortable.
lol
@Beth – I think that’s called exhaustion. They really did have a lot of dancing tonight…WOW!
Did anyone else feel like this was a horrible way to end the final performance show? I’m really disappointed. 🙁
I would have preferred something else. It seemed such a waste of their talents.
@beth I enjoyed it something new and interesting.
@Emilie better you than me for power rankings
Good show I’ll be happy no matter who wins.
@beth: Really?!?! You’d let me get away with “no comment”? Hmmmm… and I agree completely with the uncomfortableness of that malevos.
@Cynthia: How about this? Have a soft pillow handy tomorrow and if LoFro doesn’t win, throw that? You can tell your husband to send the check to … 🙂
Yaaayyy, it’s almost starting here in Cali. Whoo. Anyways, according to my TV guide, this will go on in the finale:
Black Gold performs
Quest Crew performs (YYYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!)
Charlie Bruce performs
Manzari Brothers perform
I only know who the first two are. I have no idea who the other two are, but just thought you’d like to know.
I think this has been by far the best finale we’ve had in years (if ever)! In the past, there’s been 1 or 2 really good dances… whereas tonight I felt all of the dances were really good to awesome. Also, I think this is the first year where I really don’t have a huge opinion on who i want to win – I think they all majorly deserve it and have really been dancing pretty incredible dances in the past couple of weeks.
I think that was Kent’s best routine this season. I’m still pulling for Robert, but that routine with Allison was so great, I liked it better than his piece with Neil. Wow. That was beautiful. I’ll post more later since I’m still watching it here out west, but wow, I just had to comment on that.
I just have to say that this was an amazing finale performance show.
I really love Kent and think his artist moment was really sincere and beautiful.
I think he should win — I would really be happy with any of the three winning.
@Lola: Charlie Bruce is the winner of SYTYCD UK last season. She’s amazing! You’ll really like her, I think. 🙂
Did someone say Quest Crew will perform in the finale? I adore them!!! WOOT!!
