Top 22 Results Show SYTYCD Canada

I realize last night in my Power Rankings I didn’t predict who would go home… I will try to do that for next week in addition to the actual rankings.

Here is a Summary of Tonight’s Results Show:

Opening Number:
Zombie – “Fela” Original Broadway Cast
Bill T Jones choreographed

First 3 Couples out:
Janick & Shavar
Nathalie & Mackenzie
Kirsten & Jera
All 3 are safe.

Next 2 couples out:
Hanni ( & TJ ) – Dancing for his life
Charlene & Jeff – SAFE

Personally this shocked me, since I rated Hanni & TJ’s dance as my favourite of the night.

The rest of the couples came out:
Amanda & Denys – SAFE
Danielle & Sebastian – SAFE
Bree & Edgar – Dancing for their lives
Claudia & Yonni – SAFE
Julia & Jesse – Dancing for their lives
Jonathan & Kloe – SAFE

Solo’s – Dancing for their life:
Males:
Hanni – Strange padding outfit but strong solo.
Edgar – Smooth moves, nice swag but not too many tricks or fancy moves.
Jesse – The best solo of the three in my opinion. Sharp moves, seemed very precise and passionate.

Females:
Bree – She seemed frantic at times but overall beautiful mocement.
Julia – I really loved her solo, it was an unusal song choice (country) for ball room but she worked it with lot’s of kicks and spins. It was my favourite of the two solo’s.

Of course, there was no third female solo because Shelaina was out injured.

Sent home:
-Hanni – not unanimous
-Shelaina – injury related.

Thoughts:

Doctors decided she can not dance due to her injury, therefore she was sent home. Seems the SYTYCD USA Injury Curse has struck Canada too, I hope it ends here. I also hope Shelaina returns… after last year’s attitude I was glad she smartened up this season and am truly sad she has to leave on these terms.

I am sad that my #1 power ranking went home… Hanni. I honestly feel like part of this early voting and decision making is related to screen time and how well viewers get to know the dancers before the performances.

And now we are down to Top 20…

Hopefully my Power Ranking Predictions improve…. or some of you can help me out in the comments section next time?

Power Rankings SYTYCD Canada Top 22

It’s been a while since I did power rankings so bare with me and PLEASE comment below if you agree, disagree, or have something more to say.

We are just getting to know the dancers so I find it even more challenging. Also, I am not a dancing expert so mostly I judge on what I find entertaining and make me want to pick up the phone and vote.

Top 3
1. Hanni & Tara-Jean- Jazz – Nico & Wynn
That’s how Strong my Love is – Otis Redding
1877 977 4611

I am a MASSIVE Nico fan and also TaraJean, so this was just a favourite before it started! It was so cute, TJ was like a ball of sunshine in her yellow dress and beaming smile. It was the only routine of the night to give me chills and therefore gets my #1 ranking… the playful chase and blanket romp was awesome… They saved the best for last.

2. Bree & Edgar – Hip Hop – Jaeblaze
O.M.G – Usher
1877 977 4610

Canada is known for it’s hot routines. This routine was just that. Grinding and thursting – wow! It seemed a bit spastic at times, maybe because it was so fast, but I really enjoyed it a lot. They rocked it! Mary even put Bree on the Hot Tamale Train!

3. Danielle & Sebastian – Bollywood – Longinus Fernandes
Tera Hi Jalwa – Sajid – Wajid (Wanted Cast)
1877 977 4605

Bollywood was good for Sebastian and Danielle also did well… very entertaining. The skirt change could have gone very wrong but it, like the last jump, went without a hitch. Longinus Fernandes is amazing and he is the choreographer from Slumdog Millionaire. I am a HUGE Sebastian Fan, he reminds me of Mark from USA SYTYCD and I love his quirkiness.

Middle 5

4. Jera & Kirsten – Contemporary – Mandy Moore
“Fireflies” by Ron Pope
1877 977 4602

Beautiful. I kept moving this into #3 then #4. Mandy’s a great choreographer. Her feet bothered me at times, I am not sure why, maybe it is the ballet point? After lot’s of bumps and falls in rehearsal they really mastered it. I have no idea what Tre was talking about “watching Twilight on stage” but I enjoyed the routine. This would have been #3 except for her feet annoying me.

5. Janick & Shavar – Afro-Jazz – Sean Cheesman
Dances with wood / baba – Mickey Hard, Zakir Hussain, Sikiru Adepoju & Giovanni Hidalgo
1877 977 4608

I personally love Sean Cheesman’s Afro-Jazz most of the time. They had the jumps and moves and the outfits just complimented their moves. The drop spin was awesome as were the air headstand flip thing. I think people should vote for this, it was entertaining and well done. I especially loved the all at the end.

6. Jonathan & Kloe – Hip Hop – Sho-Tyme
X Gon’ Give it to Ya – DMX
1877 977 4606

He was really good, she wasn’t bad… DMX is hard and their moves needed to be harder. That being said, it was entertaining and I think people may vote for them. She kept smiling which looked really strange given the moves… but he got his face down.

7. Yonni & Claudia – Salsa – Tony & Meredith
Calabria 2008 ft Natasja – Enur
1 877 977 4601

White outfit was hot, her blue frills were sexy, great personality, perfect genre for them. Slight fall which looked to be his fault, though the judges did not mention it. She was more in her element than he. Still nice chemistry and a fun routine. I think I am ranking this a bit low, they were so amazing… gah! Too hard to choose this first week.

8. Denys & Amanda – Tango – Tony & Meredith
Grand Guiiignol – Bajofondo
1877 977 4603

Her legs shook a lot and looked awkward at times, but this isn’t her genre. Luckily she had Denys in his genre to lead her and lead her he did. I think tango is a tough first week draw. It felt awkward at times and it wasn’t a favourite of the night at all. Side note – poor girl had bruises all up and down her legs. Mary is hilarious throwing her papers all over the place. To be honest I fast forwarded through a lot of the judges, they didn’t see to be offering a critique but instead sugar coating and spewing random stuff.

Bottom 3

9. Nathalie & Mackenzie – Viennese Waltz – Pierre Allaire
For the Nights I can’t Remember – Hedley
1877 977 4609

Beautiful, Mackenzie is all kinds of sexy. The flip/ lift was fabulous and it felt like a more modern version of the waltz. Technically, I can’t comment, but I enjoyed watching. They did have great chemistry and handled a tough dance well together.

10. Charlene & Jeff – Jive – Danny Arbour
Celebrity Status (Shake Shake) – Marianas Trench
1877 977 4604
Rough spin, but nice lift. Very fun routine. I didn’t like the judges all saying they were “cute” how annoying. It was a it slow for a jive and had awkward moments whichis why I am putting it in the bottom 3

11. Jesse & Julia – New Disco – Melissa Williams
Fame – Lady Gaga
1877 977 4607

Lot’s of fog, props, not sure it enhanced dancing or distracted… incredible outfit, she looked almost nude. Powerful movements, I didn’t see chemistry like some other couples. I could be terribly wrong, it has been a while since I did power rankings but I just don’t think this one will do as well.

Thoughts?

Am I way off?

So You Think You Can Dance Canada Top 20 Reveal

I’ve been away for a few days and between AJ, Emilie and me we will get caught up on the music posts ASAP.

Now, onto tonight’s Top 20 Reveal.

The first thing you need to know is that it became a TOP 22!!! 11 males and 11 females will be on the show.

Here is who made it:

Males:
Jesse Weafer, 26, Aurora, Ont.
Shavar Blackwood, 25, Toronto
Mackenzie Green, 20, Regina
Yonni Fournier, 27, Montreal
Jeff Mortensen, 22, Edmonton, Alb
Denys Drozdyuk, 25, Toronto, Ont
Hani Abaza, 26, Ottawa, Ont
Jera Wolfe, 19, Inverness, N.S.
Edgar Gilbert – Reyes, 22, Calgary, Alb
Sebastian Mersch, 21, Toronto, Ont
Jonathan Arsenault, 26, Kitchener, Ont.

Females:
Amanda Cleghorn, 19, Mississauga, Ont
Kirsten Wicklun, 20, Vancouver, BC
Shelaina Anderson, 19, Edmonton, Alb
Charlene Hart, 22, Abbotsford, BC
Julia Harnett, 27, Calgary, Alb
Janick Arseneau, 20, Bathurst, N.B.
Claudia Primeau, 26, Montreal Que
Danielle Gardner, 21, Surrey, BC
Nathalie Heath, 23, Surrey, B.C.
Kloé Schultz, 20, North Bay, Ont.
Bree Wasyenko, 22, Toronto, Ontario

Also:
Justin (Tap) will perform a solo in finale

What do you think?

After choosing the top 10 males they brought Jonathan out to let him know he would be part of the top 22.
During the females they brought out the last 3 girls, who didn’t know about the top 22 and that they all made it.

Some of the “yes” and “no” comments were so cruel, more than usual… “YOu just aren’t top 20 material I am sorry…. you are TOP 10”

Those poor dancers, it’s a wonder they don’t have heart attacks on the spot!!!

Anyways, that’s your TOP 22!!
