It feels like this season flew by.
I apologize for my lack of posts and power rankings last week but I was unable to post, despite having watched and taken notes for a post – I just didn’t get time. I can say I was shocked Melanie Mah went home, as she was a fave from day one for me and I was not surprised Emmanuel went home, as I felt he had gone as far as he could and should have gone home the week previously instead of Cody.
That being said – let’s focus on our Top 4 – – – wow!
There is so much chatter from the judges that the girls are the stars and that a female will win it, I can’t help but wonder if this is suggestive from the judges to try and make it a female since Nico won last year…. maybe I am just a conspiracy theorist…. but I think the men are equally talented as the women and it will be a tough season finale to watch.
I loved seeing the 4 dance together, then the 2 males and 2 females. Plus couples dances and solo’s made an action-packed evening.
We had some awesome judges (yes I am biased-ly in love with Blake McGrath & his blue jacket!)
Leah looked less “wind-tunnelled” (yes, that is as close to a compliment as she gets…. she is too young to have a face that looks it’s had plastic surgery)
Top 4
Melanie LaPatin and Tony Meredith.
Cabaret
Sexy, Hot, Loved the entire thing to bits!
Top 2 Men
Show-Tyme
Hip Hop
This was so fast, I really enjoyed it, I thought Everett picked it up better, perhaps from his tap skills?
Tara-Jean & Everett
Sean Cheeseman
Jazz
This was so moving, it made me love these two most of the top 4… powerful, emotional, despite a tumble…Best / Fave Routine of the Night
Top 2 Women
Melanie LaPatin and Tony Meredith.
Mambo
This was good, Jayme Rae outshone Tara-Jean (in my opinion) but the “salt & pepper spice” comment by Blake and the mini-lap-dances from the girls to the judges was cute & fun.
Jayme Rae & Vincent
Stacey Tookey
Contemporary
This was an awesome routine also – my 2nd fave of the night I think… though at Top 4 they are all amazing aren’t they?
Tara-Jean & Vincent
Maria Torres
Hustle
Her dress was stunning and they moved so well together, it was entertaining and awesome
Jayme Rae & Everett
Kelly Lannan & Eric Caty
Samba
Everett is such a showman and Jayme Rae has such an appeal – I just love watching these 2 dance. Look at this photo – what an ending!!!
Solo’s
Jayme Rae – She became a fave early on and has remained strong. I find her entertaining and alluring and I think people will vote for her. If she wins, Canada will have voted well.
Tara-Jean – Pretty and quiet, she never stood out for me, I often predicted she’d go home but she is still here and she always shows us why. Her solo was full of flips and jumps that impressed me.
Vincent – His solo’s are always amazing. Although I wasn’t a huge fan in the start and even thought he’d go home earlier on, he seems like an easy win based on his following.
Everett – His tapping just captivates me. He is the underdog in my opinion, but if he won it I’d be happily pleased. He is like the Evan of SYTYCD last season in my books.
My Picks
I’d like to see Everett or Jayme Rae take it… but I feel like Vincent or tara-Jean might. I know I am copping out of predictions… I jsut think they are all so wonderful.
