SYTYCD, Week 8

Well, Janette's gone. :( Very big tear, super-big. But, I suppose we have to press on! So let's.

Boys' dance: I'm really distracted tonight, I'm gonna be doing a lot of rewinding tonight. Um, again, very STRANGE from Sonya! I super-mega-LOATHE those costumes, and they really distracted me from the dance. But excluding those, I thought it was pretty cool! And I loved what Lil' C said about Evan - he can't really be complimented about doing a standout-fabulous job compared to Ade and Brandon, but he get full props & kudos for "not getting swallowed" by the ability of the other two. They all did it well, I think.

Jeanine/Ade: Very hot, very sharp - very samba-ey! Mary's retarded. She just likes to sound like an expert in the ballrooms dances by being highly critical when they come around. Okay, so it wasn't perfect but I thought it was lots better than the judges found it.

Kayla's solo: Yeah, same old kayla. I'm getting sick of her.

Melissa/Evan: It's like the waltz of the albinos! hehe Yeah, lots of fun & cheese; well danced, good personality. But, something fell short for me. Don't really know exactly what, hmm.... (lol Apparently Lil' C feels quite the same.) And great comment from Nigel about Melissa - I've known a few classically trained ballerinas & they literally cannot NOT do ballet - they walk, sit, and sneeze like ballerinas. So it's highly impressive that Melissa has so successfully performed the various styles that she has.

Ade's solo: Love Ade, really hope to see him in the finale.

Kayla/Brandon: Who-ie, racy little number that was! And not necessarily in a bad way... haha! Yeah, I may have my issues with Kayla but she is definitely someone that can keep up with Brandon & the combination of those 2 talents made for one heck of a number. Very top-notch.

Melissa's solo: Very pretty - but just a tad boring this week.

Jeanine/Ade #2: Not my favorite from Tab & Nappy. Didn't like the costumes, the music, the choreography, the props - but I liked Jeanine & Ade just fine! So, I have no beef with their performance, just with everything else about that number.

Brandon's solo: Are you joking me?! lol It's a busy week for him, he figures "I'll just use the solo the I auditioned with, it was good enough to get me here." Did I mention I think he's pretty good?

Melissa/Evan #2: That number would've definitely made it into a professional competition - but it wouldn't have actually won anything. Okay, that was perhaps a touch harsh, it was fairly well done; but there were some awkward moments and it was far from perfect.

Jeanine's solo: Good classic Jeanine; she definitely has a recognizable style in her solos. Hope she makes it into the finals!

Evan's solo: Aw Evan, you are fun. I have nothing against you personally; but, I just don't wanna see you around next week. :(

Kayla/Brandon #2: I think Doriana Sanchez is using every opportunity this season to prove that Disco is alive & legit, 'cause she has thrown these kids this year every trick she could dream up! Another insane disco number, and again well done. Brandon was golden, Kayla was definitely channeling her inner Soul Train star, and they did a great job.

Girls' number: Man, I guess I didn't drink my Sonya-Juice this morning or something...
Didn't really like the dance & REALLY didn't like the music. (Someone got PAID to produce that?!) And I'm not sure that whoever made those costumes has finished their Jr. High TLC class yet... hehe Had to be said. But I can't really fault the girls for that & I thought they all did just fine.

So now, WHO SHOULD GO? Well, Evan, for one; and either Kayla or Melissa, I can't bring myself to decide... But that doesn't answer the real question: who WILL go?! I'm so so worried that Evan is more popular than anyone knows, and I'll just scream if he stays and one of the other guys has to pack up. Less than 24 hours & then we'll know!
