I would prefer to see Jose go home because he is skating on charm, and I think he needs to be schooled for calling out Legacy in the auditions. Melinda is a cerebral dancer and the judges have been merciless with her, but she has actually performed very well in dances outside her genre and has been given almost no credit for it while Jose has been incredibly sloppy and allowed to slide by because of his smile.<br /><br />Robert is one of my favorites--I LOVED his solo-- even though Alex, Billy, and Kent each have the technical and charismatic qualities that may make them last longer. Adichike has great potential and I'm glad to see him coming out of his shell. ashleigh is alovly dancer, but like Kayla Radomski, I just find her dull in her non-dancing persona, whihc is unfair, but there it is. Lauren is so unheedingly arrogant, nicer than Kherington, but blurting out egotistical remarks with no clue. she needs someone to help her humble down but without reining in that great spirit, and then she'll be the total package. <br />Alex and Twitch killed the floor. THIS is what Alex has been wanting to do: he apparently started dancing hip hop before he started ballet and I think he wants to integrate those parts of his dance life.momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149328149132703479noreply@blogger.com
