So You Think You Can Dance - Top 14 Performance Night - Ep. 615
Judges: Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy, Adam Shankman
So while I was in LA over the weekend, Mary apparently flew all the way up to Toronto, sat as guest judge in SYTYCD Canada's Season 3 Toronto auditions, and then flew back in time to judge this on Sunday (when they tape these things). Wow. (On the other hand, I guess I flew all the way to LA for the weekend just to see Parade (AMAZING and hopefully will transfer to Broadway)!!!)
Did I mention I met Ryan and Ashleigh Di Lello this past weekend? And that they were SUPER SUPER nice? I probably mentioned it about a dozen times on twitter. I'll definitely mention it about a dozen more times in this post!
Ashleigh Di Lello &
Jakob Karr Style: Hip-Hop
Choreographed by: Napoleon and Tabitha D'umo
Song: "Whatcha Say" - Jason DeRulo
Grade: A
Okay, so after having bumped into Ryan and Ashleigh on Hollywood Blvd. this past weekend, and that they stopped, took pictures and were SUPER nice, I feel bad for being so harsh on Ashleigh in the past. So maybe it's because I like her a lot more after seeing her being SOOOO nice to us, but while I still thought there were a couple of minor connection problems between her and Jakob (there was one moment where their arms didn't seem to interlink as smooth as it was supposed to be), I thought Ashleigh did a great job and hit it hard this week. Not as hard as Jakob, who looked like he was about to bust a wall, but really hard considering how small Ashleigh is. And man, she is tiny. I felt like a bloated whale next to her and Ryan.
Loved Ryan and Ellenore. And look at Ryan's left hand when Ellenore is putting her hand on his mouth (or maybe just before). What's he doing? Adjusting?
Wonderful recap, as usual! I am so happy about my fave 3 couples (Legacy/Kathryn, Ryan/Ellenore, Jakob/Ashleigh) each week. I have to say, Molle and Nathan were given a boring choreo by Bootcamp Laurieann. She has no charm for me, unlike Mia. I don't think she respects her dancers the way Mia does when she demands a lot of them. A lot of ego in the way. Karen and Kevin are good, but not in the league of the other parnterships, in my eyes. Could it be that Karen's personal issues? I imagine it can't be easy to go through a divorce with your dance partner/husband, and then have the judges only talk about your hotness factor instead of your dancing every time. Shirtless Legacy turns me on more than shirtless Ryan. I wanted to hear more stores about Victor's mom! did you notice how most of the contestants began their childhood packages with a variation on "I was hell on wheels as a kid so in desperation my parents stuck me in dance class so I could get my ya-yaas out"?
Please go home Nathan and Mollee! It's painful to watch them after watching every one else.
I thought overall (with the exception of those babies) it was a really good show dance wise. Nothing horrendous.
I am with you on Tyce. It taints my enjoyment of a dance when I have to watch him for any amount of time first. His extreme douchiness clouds my enjoyment of anything he might do.
I loved Legacy and Kathryn and would only tell Legacy to keep his shoulders back and his chest more open. Kathryn was beautiful.
Ryan and Ellenore were great too but how can you really suck with a Travis dance? Really? It was stunning.
Karen and Kevin were just blah for me. I love Sweet Charity and they should have brought more.
My bottom three were Karen and Kevin, Nathan and Mollee and Noele and Russell (even though I love Russell I think the foxtrot is the kiss of death much like the quickstep)
I think K&K will go home because Nathan and Mollee won't be in the bottom dammit.
