SYTYCD, Week 4

Oooo, I've got a good feeling about this week. I think it's gonna be a hot one! Here we go:

Janette/Brandon: Okay! So, Brandon can cha-cha as well, apparently! Which begs the question: What CAN'T he do?!?! And Janette is completely cha-cha-licious, too. (Colby over here says that she's his crush for this season. Even with those bangs? ;) ) I mean, does everyone out there realize that these two have smashed - not just done well, but ROCKED - every single dance they've gotten so far... and they haven't even gotten their own flippin' style yet!!! I think they have pulled ahead as my favorite couple, as of this moment.

Kayla/Kupono: Well, the song choice was EXCELLENT, of course. :D hehe And Sonya is just purely twisted, once again! I'm gonna go completely crazy here & state that Kupono actually outdanced Kayla with this one - and that's no rip on her, 'cause she was fabulous as always. Yes, I know, more praise for Kupono, from me! I loved the performance from both of them - they really sunk their teeth into this piece. hehehe

Randi/Evan: Um, I think Evan's a little drunk tonight! haha Okay, that was some of the strangest choreography I've ever seen! I couldn't stop thinking about those Austin Powers dance scenes that were reminiscing those wacky 60's movements. But anyway - as always, these two went neck-deep into the style. I thought they did better than the judges are seeming to think - I always love what they bring to their dances, they're definitely some of my favorites.

Caitlin/Jason: I think... that may have been a little too weird for me. I mean, that was really pushing it to the limits of my personal preference. But they danced it well enough to make me almost like it! If Caitlin needed to own that dance, I'm pretty sure that is what "Caitlin owning it" looks like. So, well done to her for stepping out of her box, and well done to Jason for pulling his weight as well. Loved the dancers, was disturbed much by the dance. :)

Jeanine/Philip: Wow, hip-hop again for these two - Philip is one lucky guy. :) They did it super well & it was definitely interesting... but I think they were actually quite hindered by that dang chain! I mean I liked it & thought it gave a really fun dynamic, but at the same time you could just tell they were worrying about it the whole time. I feel like it could've been just a little better if they were chained at the hip or wrists.

Melissa/Ade: hehe This just tickles me; you can imagine the producers going, "Okay, we've got an ACTUAL ballerina on the show this year, what say we do an ACTUAL ballet?" Melissa was of course exquisite, and Ade, while clearly not a real male ballet dancer, did very respectably for a genre of dance that you cannot pick up in a week. There's a reason they haven't done much ballet on this show: it's the only style of dance that you can't really do unless it's what you do. So I'm very happy with that number!

Karla/Vitolio: Costume change!! That dress thing was so sa-weet, we had to rewind it twice. And guess what? I must've just not liked Asuka, because I liked Vitolio so much better tonight! Yeah, that was so much fun, very well done for the new couple. And Karla has gorgeous extension.

Bottom 3 this week is gonna be a considerable challenge - I'm not really sure where to start. Okay, well, it has to be done:

> Caitlin/Jason
> Randi/Evan
> Karla/Vitolio

Way to be, Week 4, I loved just about all of it!

I knew you would love Sonja's song choice as soon as I heard it. :)
