So You Think You Can Dance Top 16 perform

June 25th the top sixteen couples took to the stage.
Key performances included:
Kherington and Twitch's prison break hip hop routine. It was fully entertaining and Kherington brought it!
Chelsie Hightower and mark also did a really good hip hop routine to bleeding in love. Mark played the role of a work-aholic and Chelsie was the significant other who didn't want him to leave. Truly believable performance!
A third notable performance was the Disco routine performed by Jessie and Will.
And last, but never least are Katee and Joshua who did a fantastic samba. I couldn't take my eyes off them during this routine!
I also found it interesting that Comfort and Chris did an African Jazz routine to Marylin Manson's "Beautiful People". That was about the last song I would have expected to hear on the show. It was an interesting performance, but neither brought enough rawness to it for it to be really good.
Results:
This weeks performances brought the end of the road to Chelsea Trail and Chris. I agree that they were the two logical choices of who needed to leave.

So You Think You Can Dance-Top 18

Last Wednesday the top 18 performed. Stand out performances were Katee and Joshua's Tyce Diorio broadway routine and Kherington and Twitch (aka Twitchington)'s Jean Marc Genereux Vienese Waltz routine. The Broadway routine was incredibly entertaining to watch and the Waltz routine was done for Jean Marc's daughter and it was very touching.
Susie and Marquis were the unlucky couple to be sent home. The performed and Alex Da Siva Salsa routine and it just wasn't very good. I, for one, was happy to see Susie go... I was surprised she ever made it to the top 20.
I can't wait to see the top 16 perform next. A great group of dancers remains, and possibilities are endless.

So You Think You Can Dance top 20


I think this is my favorite show!!! I am so excited it is back. Last Wednesday the top 20 performed. I find it hard to get to know the new cast everyone year after growing so fond of the previous cast... but these guys are good. I thought the two best performances were the contemporary routine choreographed by Mia Michaels meant to be like Tim Burton's wedding and performed by Chelsie H and Mark. That was really really good and I don't know how Chelsie made herself such a tiny little ball. That routine was sooo good and Mia really is an excellent choreographer.
The other routine I really liked was the slow hip hop routine choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon and danced by Katee and Joshua. Personally, I really like Joshua, seems like a super good guy and that move he did going down forward and then coming back up, amazing!!!
I also can agree with America's and the judges decision to say good bye to Rayven and Jamie. The bar seems to have been raised this year and their hip hop routine was week. Still better than I could imagine doing, but compared to the rest of the field, it wasnt up to par.
I can't wait to see what the dancers bring this week!!!
