SYTYCD, Week 6

Eeeek, new partners!!!! Oh I can't wait - get it started, Miss Pretty Cat!

Girls group dance: Yay, more Bollywood. hmmm... I'm rude, I know, but I get to be honest on my own blog. They all did a great job, I can't say that anyone really stood out for me - although Melissa seemed a little less "Bolly" than the other gals. But, as Colby so happily pointed out - thanks Hubby - her abs are just entirely reeeeeeee-diculous. Again, it's that darned ballet training at work!

Kayla/Evan: Kayla's flawless & Evan is quite dashing and suave (although I'm betting the judges won't be totally crazy about his performance). Very beautiful!

Brandon's solo: Seriously.

Janette/Ade: Well it was good & fun, and these two are great. But... yes, but! They just don't have the same sync that Janette & Brandon seemed to have from dance one. I enjoyed them but I can't help wishing I would've been watching the old pairing up there puttin' on the funk.

Randi's solo: I love seeing solos from everyone this week, from people like Randi that we haven't seen do a solo yet. She's so strong & so soft in her motion, great to see her.

Kupono's solo: These solos of his always help to remind me why I wasn't crazy about him earlier in the season. He just can't choreograph, I suppose.

Jeanine/Jason: Heavens YES, standing O! Okay, I knew KNEW this was gonna happen with Jason - I have not really cared about him this whole time, something was just missing from him. And I was really happy that he didn't go home last week because I just knew that putting him with another partner was gonna light him up in flames! And yes, I think that qualifies as FLAMES, people. (My cheeks are flaming, that's for sure.... LOL) Superb, the two of them, just completely stunning. Travis said they needed to be totally connected from the first beat & that is most definitely what they delivered. Maybe I need to watch that one again, just to make sure I'm not overrating it... :D

Melissa's solo: I love watching real ballet.

Evan's solo: He's so cute! I do think he'll be going in the near future, but I still love him.

Kayla's solo: Good solo, always like Kayla.

Randi/Kupono: Well, not disastrous, but not a home-run either. Mostly, I'm just not crazy about them as a pair. (I'm so very sad to see Kupono & Kayla split!) Kupono wasn't fierce enough, and Randi had some great moments but also some very awkward passes and stumbling lifts. Most importantly - no chemistry.

Ade's solo: Well, it needed to be set to different music that's for sure; but he's of course super.

Jeanine's solo: I'm always so impressed with her incredible dancing, when she truthfully does not have the most ideal body for dancing. (No, I'm NOT talking about weight! I'm talking about turnout, back arch, torso-height to leg-length ratio, etc...) It's completely obvious how hard she has worked to do the absolute best with what she has, and that demands respect!

Jason's solo: Fun & good; still a little too upright and steady, but getting better.

Melissa/Brandon: These two are so impeccable, seriously. That dance didn't really connect with me emotionally or anything, but that in no way stops me from appreciating their talent.

Janette's solo: Yeah, I'll be hearing about this outfit for the next little while. Go ahead and enjoy, Colbs, she is hot.

Boys' group dance: If I had to pick a favorite from this I suppose I'd say (big surprise) Brandon, haha! In honestly, I don't think any of them were able to fully abandon their own style and let this organic primal movement take over. But they all put forth a ton of effort and it certainly wasn't a train wreck. It was fun!

Man, who could I even stand to lose at this point? Okay, well someone has to go so let's get serious: I suppose Evan & Kupono are probably the most vulnerable guys right now, and for the girls I think maybe Randi and perhaps Kayla ought to be a little worried. But I could be totally wrong, of course. :) We shall see!
