SYTYCD Canada Top 10 Results – Down to 8

I apologize for not listing the bottom 3 or who I thought would go home in last night’s performance show post.

I wasn’t entirely sure how it would look because of the individual voting, also, I was pretty tired from driving 5 hours in the rain on scary highways from Kamloops to Vancouver.

Moving on….

Here is tonight’s results.

Top 10 Group Routine – Sabrina Matthews
“Heavy in Your Arms” Heavy In Your Arms - Lungs (Deluxe Edition) – Florence + The Machine

This was awesome. They all looked nude, wrapped in tape. It was really well choreographed and danced. I will post it once I find it on YouTube.

Female Results:

Lindsey – Safe
Denitsa – Not Safe
Yulia – Not Safe
Melissa – Not Safe *gasp*
Jordan – Safe

Male Results:
Christian – Not Safe
Shane – Safe
Francois – Not Safe
Adam – Not Safe
Matt – Safe

Solo’s
Denitsa – “Born This Way” Born This Way - Born This Way (Bonus Track Version) – Lady Gaga
She did very well, but she always does in her genre and her solo’s, trust me as we have seen her “dance for her life” numerous times.

Yulia – Not sure the song
She had feathers all over her outfit, danced like a bird and looked kind of strange to me. ANother we have seen too often “dance for her life”

Melissa – “Swans” – Uncle Bob
Shocked to see her in the bottom, but Jordan was there once also. I thought it would be Lindsey or Jordan only because we needed a bottom three. Was nice to see her solo, such talent!

Christian – Not sure the song
Danced amazingly well as I imagined he would.

Francois – Not sure the song.
He danced well. I didn’t expect him in the bottom based on last night but based on the whole season so far it didn’t surprise me.

Matt – “Fix the World Up for You” Fix the World Up for You - Songs for You, Truths for Me – James Morrison
So great to watch, really talented and powerful dancer!

In the end it was Yulia & Francois who went home.
It is going to be tough next week as we get down to the best of the best, or Canada’s most favourite!

Lindsey, Jordan, Melissa are so talented! Denitsa is also, but I think she is a one-trick show for the most part. I would LOVE Jordan to take it but I think Melissa may.

For the men, at this point, I feel bad saying that they all blur together still. I mean Shane is the clear front-runner for me, but Christian, Adam and Matt are all very talented, I would have a tough time putting one miles ahead of the others. I just feel Shane is amazing!

Who are your bets to take it all the way?

Side Note: It drives me NUTS when Leah Miller says “Why are you so…” last night she said it so many times.. “Why are you so good?” or “Why are you so in shape?” and “Why do you have to stop?” I can’t stand her! She comes across so condescending! Between her and Jean-Marc I almost can’t stand watching the show! I usually just watch the dances and maybe a guest judge or two, thank goodness for PVR (fast-forward the annoying parts)

SYTYCD Canada Top 10 Power Rankings

 

Tonight’s judges were Jean-Marc, Tre Armstrong, Stacey Tookey and Mary Murphy.

Tonight the dancer’s had new partner’s as well as solo’s to perform as we start voting for individual’s not couples this week.I think this will really show us who Canada likes and not mask poor dancers with partner’s who are favourites.

First of all I will do the Ranking of the Coupled Dances:
1. Jordan & Christian
Jazz – Sean Cheesman
“Skin” – Skin - Loud Rihanna

*CTV Has more photos that are amazing*
I know not everyone will agree with me but this routine was sexy and amazing. The start with one on each side of the wall yet still in sync, the spins and back flips and all that skin. It was sexy and my favourite of the night, but I think Canada may place them lower than I do.

2. Shane & Melissa
Hip Hop – Luther Brown
“The Time” The Time (Dirty Bit) - The Beginning (Deluxe Version) – Black Eyed Peas

I really loved this routine also, but hip hop sometimes scores lower with Canada’s votes. Melissa got her 6th standing ovation from the judges and she really worked this routine hard.

3. Lindsey & Adam
Contemporary – Blake McGrath
“Remember When it Rained” Remember When It Rained - Closer – Josh Groban

This was an amazing routine. It was my favourite when it came on but after the whole episode I felt stronger about the Hip Hop and Jazz routines, though I could be wrong. Honestly, all three of these routines were just absolutely fantastic!

4. Yulia & Matt
Contemporary – Sabrina Matthews
“My Love” My Love - The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Deluxe Version] – Sia

I love this song and was impressed with Yulia despite her uncomfortableness with the routine. The fact is, to go further she needs to be able to step outside her genre, and she really doesn’t do that well. Tonight was good, but I think others were better.

5. Denitsa & Francois
Mambo – Gustavo Vergas
“Bemba Colora” – Ceilia Cruz

There were some nice moments and they are both ballroom so it was well done, but it was the first dance of the night, and not that memorable. Denitsa’s scarf didn’t come out and she almost dropped the one Francois threw to her to use. There was great partnering but overall it was just not as memorable or entertaining as the others.

Now for Solo’s, I don’t actually like the dancers in this order at all, but based JUST on what I saw tonight here are my thoughts…

Men:

1. Shane: David Guetta ft. Chris Willis’s “Love is Gone” – Love Is Gone (Original Mix) - Pop Life

2. Francois: Jackie Wilson’s “Reet Petite” – Reet Petite - Jackie Wilson: 20 Greatest Hits

3. Adam: The Bee Gees’s “You Should Be Dancing” – You Should Be Dancing - Saturday Night Fever (The Original Movie Soundtrack) [Remastered]

4. Christian: Max Sedgley’s “Happy (Spiritual South Go Happy in Rio Remix)” – Happy (Spiritual South Go Happy In Rio) - Happy - EP

5. Matt: Hedley’s “For the Nights I Can’t Remember” – For the Nights I Can't Remember - Never Too Late (Bonus Track Version)

 

Women:

1. Melissa: The Cinematic Orchestra’s “To Build a Home” – To Build a Home - Ma Fleur

2. Lindsey: Katie Thompson’s “It Doesn’t Hurt” – It Doesn't Hurt - KT LIVE

3. Jordan: Adele’s “Hometown Glory” – Hometown Glory - 19

4. Denitsa: Guem et Zaka Percussion Ensemble’s “Le Serpent”

5. Yulia: Peggy Lee’s “Fever” – Fever - The Best of Peggy Lee

 

PLEASE comment with your thoughts, I could be way off, but based on tonight’s show this is how I feel. I do not know how the eliminations will go tomorrow, but I will post results tomorrow
