So You Think You Can Dance Canada – Top 12 Results Show
And now we are down to Top 10. The ten that will go on tour and perform across the country. I am happy with the Top 10 for the most part, heck I’d go see the Top 20 pretty much…. there were so many great dancers this season.
They opened with a very sexy piece from Luther Brown to Lil Kim’s “The Jumpoff”. I loved the leather cat suits the women wore and the body art on the men. Kim was featured again front and center, I didn’t care for her or think of her as a front runner but she is really becoming quite the sexy vixen of a front runner. The routine was hot and had lot’s of hip shaking, spanking and allure.

Solo’s
Melanie – Passionate, beautiful, predicted she’d make it on to Top 10 and am still shocked she was even in Bottom 3 Couples.
Corynne – Seemed a bit frantic, predicted she would be leaving even last night.
Jayme Rae – Her movement and lines looked great, I predicted she’d make it to Top 10.
Cody – a fan fave, had to make it to Top 10 though his solo didn’t seem as strong as I have seen him in the past.
Austin – he excels in his solo, so beautiful and passionate
Daniel – hard-hitting and very entertaining
Good-Byes
Corynne & Daniel went home. I predicted Corynne would go home but had thought Austin would also leave, however, he always pulls out an amazing solo and stays, despite being in the Bottom 3 three times now.
Now we are in the Top 10 – It will be exciting to see what these amazing dancers bring… who are you all rooting for to win now?
so much to comment on, and i have only just finished watching the performances via downloads (i am in the states).
favorite routine of the evening,,, hands down everett and tara jean’s theater piece. its a great counterpoint to vincent and amy’s jive. here’s why. ev is a tap specialist, and he rocked it. tara jean had only a dancer’s passing acquintance with tap, but somehow she pulled herself up to nearly equal ev in the performance. vincent is a ballroom specialist, and while he isn’t the physically striking type we usually associate with that style, but, he blew the top off that jive. he wasn’t kidding when he said that was his best dance. i was trying to remember if he ever danced stripped down, because the boy has to have steel springs in his legs. here’s the diff. amy would also have had only a slight exposure to ballroom, and despite what the judges said, she appeared lead footed in comparison. she just didn’t seem to pick up the bounce of it at all. i wonder if she ever looked at his pace and bounce and tried to match it?
ther was never any doubt that the skating star/ballet/clam rocker was going to the top ten hence tour, and same foe the baby faced b boy cody. melanie has rightfully been a judge’s fav from the start. austin also seemed a given because of his swashbuckling style and looks. if there was ever a possibility of ev not going thru, that tap routine put it to bed. of the boys, daniel was just the weakest left.
as for corynne, i said it before, i don’t think she belonged there. the “sunset blvd” routine was her only good one, and that was because it was hammy over the top.
i hope ev and tara enjoyed that tap routine, because i guarantee you they will be doing it every show on the tour.
i’m ready for the top ten… and more from the usa, endless season notwithstanding.
I completely agreed with the decisions on who should go home tonight. I’m also beyond believed that Vincent and Amy were NOT in the bottom three for a week as I feel that they’ve only been landing there based on the choreography and dance styles they’ve been drawing instead of any failure to deliver the routines.
It should be really interesting to see how dancers like Amy and Kim(?) do with different partners. They’ve danced really well but I’m not sure how they stand up when measured individually.
I do look forward to seeing Melanie dance with someone else though. Cody is cute enough but I agree that while he’s very good at what he does, that doesn’t translate across all styles. I’d love to see Melanie with someone who can keep up with her.
