SYTYCD Season 7!

So this is kind of where my summer begins. So you think you can dance starts...and i realize that i stopped posting about the tv shows i love. I am a horrible person.lol. No one really reads these but its so relaxing to write what i want to write and really not have people complain about what i am saying.
Anyways, this season of SYTYCD is going to be really tough. There are only going to be ten competitors. This year they are bringing back people from the previous seasons to be the dance partner. It should be interesting. Also changing this year is America is not voting a person out, and the judges are different! Nigel is obviously still there, but so is Mia Michael's & Adam Shankman. Mary Murphey still will be doing some routines, but is no longer a judge!
Here are the allstars coming back: Comfort Fedoke, Anya Garnis, Neil Haskell, Courtney Galiano, Pasha Kovalev, Dominic “D-Trix” Sandoval, Allison Holker, Ade Obayomi, Stephen “Twitch” Boss, Lauren Gottlieb, Mark Kanemura, & Kathryn McCormick.
I'm really excited to see Neil,Dominic,Ade,Twitch, Lauren, Mark & Kathyrn. I wish some other people would have come back but Dominic being back is really all that matters.
I did watch the first auditions, and only two people made me excited.The first was Sara Brinson, She was wonderful to watch.She was a strong dancer and i think she could do really well. The other person i fell in love with last year, was Teddy Tedholm. His dance this year was so dark and it really touched me. I hope he does well in Vegas because he is so talented.
The last thing i have to comment on is that i have yet to see Billy Bell & Alex Wong. I did read that Nigel said only one of them makes it. I really hope its Alex. His dancing is incredible.

FAIL-Last of the fall Reality shows...

So i failed at recapping the fall shows. I ended up getting sick for two weeks and completely losing track in shows. But who cares? Heres the reality shows..when the other shows come back on i'll recap what i missed before.
Reality Shows:
ANTM13: Nicole Fox won! I wasn't surprised, while i loved Laura, Nicole really took the most amazing pictures. She might actually have a career at this modelling thing.
Survivor 19: The season turned out to be one of the best seasons. Galu totally screwed themselves over.In the end i started rooting for Brett, but i knew he wouldn't make it there. Russell should have won the whole darn show, because he was the best player. However, Natalie ended up winning. I give Erik the credit for his speech he made right at the end. Anyways hopefully Russell will play just as great on the next season, Heroes vs. Villains.
The Amazing Race: In the end meghan and Cheyne won, which was great. They had a great race. I did like of like Erika and Brian, but she was so whiny near the end. The bro team really started to bother me when they started hating on each other. Overall it was a pretty good season. I still loved Matt and Gary!
SYTYCD America: In the end there was a final six which i thought was stupid. They ended up being Ryan, Ellenore,Jakob,Russel,Ashleigh and Kathryn. In the end it was between Jakob and Russell. Russell ended up winning!! I was proud of him, but i thought Jakob probably was the better dancer. It ended up being an ok season ,with a couple of stand out performances. The beginning was way to rushed and that was disappointing. I also miss Mia Micheals. Its also unfortunate they are not doing a tour this year.

SYTYCD6 Top 20 Introduction

Meeting the Top 20. I loved this idea to introduce the dancers. I loved it until i heard that the next show was going to be performances and eliminations. I hate that the judges are eliminating without the public voting. There is also a new stage which i am not loving. Its not as open and its more like a stage which will be harder to get the atmosphere i like. Anyways, each member gets to dance in a group routine in their own style. Its fabulous! They started off with a group routine which was alright, but it wasn't the best top 20 i have seen. There were a few mistakes and hands being missed and such.
Group 1 Russell (Krumper), Legacy (B-Boy) & Kevin (hip-hop/locker) Beggin' (District 78 Remix) by Madcon
It was a really fun routine. They all looked like they were having a ton of fun. They definitely like to perform and this makes me really excited for these three this season.
Group 2 Channing, Jakob, Ariana, and Nathan (Contemporary) Crying by K.D. Lang
It was so pretty and it made me a fan of all four of them I think the two females where a lot weaker, but they still really good. I really liked Jakob the most.
Group 3 Peter, Bianca, & Phillip (Tap) Take The "A" Train by Ella Fitzgerald
I just have to say ,that Everett from SYTYCD Canada would have kicked these three tappers asses. I'm not sure if i liked the routine. Bianca definitely is the best of the group. I also don't understand why they can't do tap routines on the show, when in Canada Tara Jean learned tap for a routine. I don't think it would be to hard to learn.
Group 4 Mollee, Pauline & Ellenore (Jazz) On A Cloud by PPP
I thought this group sucked. It was not a sexy dance and the outfits sucked. They weren't in unison for any of it, and they all just danced without even working with eachother. Not good.
Group 5 Victor, Noelle, Billy, & Kathryn (Contemporary) Viva La Vida by Coldplay
There were a lot of fumbles, but there was so much in this routine. I didn't like the choreography, i thought it was to all over the place. The first group of four was much better.
Group 6 Karen, Ashleigh & Ryan Di Lello (Latin ballroom) Everything I Can't Have by Robin Thicke
This was a fantastic routine. The chemistry was great, and routine was fun.

SYTYCD Canada Finale.

The Finale was filled with dances from throughout the season. The first dance was a group dance from the top 20 and it was a pretty performance. The dances were picked by the judges and Leah ,however i think they were basically picked and the judges just got to announce them and pretend it was their pick. Some of the choices were questionable, as i barely remembered them. There were quite a few that were the best performances this season and i was ever so happy to see them again. There was also a Mia Micheal's piece, in which it was her way of leaving SYTYCD. Apparently she isn't going to be on the show anymore. Unfortunately she had hurt herself so her goodbye was the dance which left many questions unanswered.
Anyways at the end of the two hour finale they called the four onto the stage and they each had their little goodbyes and i can't wait to work with you later speech's from the judges.
The Results:
Everett got 4rth! After his goodbye speech and him tearing up i almost wanted him to win.
Jamie Rae got 3rd! I was surprised, i thought she would have got second.
and Vincent got 2nd ( I had called him from the very beginning winning it so second place is pretty amazing)
which means TARA JEAN IS CANADA'S FAVOURITE DANCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She totally deserved it and I'm especially proud of her being from the prairies!Congrats!

SYTYCD Canada Top 4 Performances

Group Dance: Cabaret* Theme for Gypsy (Shivas Regal) Sonny Lester & His Orchestra
I thought their unison was terrible. The routine itself was ok but it wasn't as good as it should be at this stage. These are suppose to be the top 4 dancers in Canada. The choreography should ave been better, and the dancing should have been better.
The Guys:Hip Hop* B.O.B. -OutKast
I wasn't super excited when i heard what genre they were doing but when it started it was totally cool. They both surprised me. Everett especially hit the floor hard and has that swagger. Overall it was a good piece.
Tara Jean & Everett* Jazz* Say (All I Need), OneRepublic
I really really loved this dance, that little fall isn't going to cost her because through the entire dance you could feel the emotion. These two dancing together is incredible. To me ,they are like the Dominique and Sabra, and the Katee and Josh kind of couple.
The Girls: Mambo* Ran Kan Kan -Tito Puente
I didn't feel the energy from them. The dance was ok, but it didn't showcase their amazingness.
Jaime Rae & Vincent*Contemprary* Can't Stop Thinking 'Bout You, Martin Sexton
I think she made this piece. She really never does anything wrong, and Vincent was ok.
Tara Jean & Vincent*Hustle * Last Dance, Donna Summer
I found her a little nervous, and technically lacking,I'm not sure if it was because she fell in the previous dance , or if she was a little hurt.
Jaime Rae & Everett*Samba* Run the Show, Kat DeLuna
I think this dance had a crazy amount of tricks and it might have been the kiss of death for the both of them.
Everett Solo: It was an awesome solo, i love tappers!
Jamie Rae Solo: It was alright, not as good as some of her past ones.
Vincent Solo: As usual his legs went crazy!
Tara Jean Solo: It was the best solo of the night.
My winner is Tara Jean. I didn't really like her in the beginning but throughout the top 12 she has been great. Her personality makes me want her to win. I think Jaimie Rae will come in second because she really has done nothing wrong in this competition. For third its a toss up really ,they are both amazing dancers, and genuinely nice guys. They both adapted to every genre really well ,and in their each styles they are great.

SYTYCD Canada Top 6 Results

So Tre Armstrong choreographed the group number, and i thought it wasn't that great. It was a little entertaining, but there was nothing that i haven't seen before. I thought the costuming was terrible too!
So after Leah talked about the same old things, and the solos happened the results were in and Melanie and Emanuel were sent home!It was sad to see Melanie go, because she is such a gorgeous dancer, but the top two girls Jaime Rae and Tara Jean are amazing too! I'm really glad Emanuel left, and from the beginning, i said i wanted Vincent to win, and over the past couple of weeks i have loved Everett.
I think a female will win it, but i would be happy with anyone of the top four winning.It would be amazing to see a tapper like Everett win, but i have loved Vincent since day one. I can't wait for the finale!!

SYTYCD Canada Top 6 Performances

Tara Jean & Vincent*Salsa*Vengo Caliente Sonora Carruseles
It had a really good energy and besides me hating the costume i think it was a great way to start the show.
Jaime Rae Solo: I always enjoy her solos, and this one was really good.
Melanie & Everett*Jazz Rock* Burn it to the Ground, Nickelback
This dance fails on every level. The lift was horrible, the choreography was crap, and the song choice was dreadful. The best part was the crowd surfing at the end. I hope there next dance is amazing.
Tara Jean Solo: This is my favorite solo of hers. She really has stepped it up these past weeks, before she was forgettable but definitely not anymore.
Jaime Rae & Emanuel*Quickstep*Let's Go Hipjoint, feat. Sherry, St. Germain
I hate the quickstep, but i think she made him look better then he as in the past. It was an alright performance.
Melanie Solo: It was very pretty. She is a gorgeous dancer.
Everett Solo:At one point i think he almost slipped, but his tap is really good as always.
The Girls: Concerto for 2 Violins in D Minor, BWV 1043: II. Largo Ma non Tanto (J.S. Bach) The Scottish Ensemble/Jonathan Rees
Probably one of my favourite dances this season. One of these three should win. Beautiful choreography, costumes, dancing, lights, just everything.
The Boys: Get Up Offa That Thing James Brown
Everett was amazing. I didn't take my eyes off of him, so i had to rewind to watch the others. Vincent almost over did it, and Emanuel wasn't good enough. As a whole,it wasn't as good as it should have been.
Tara Jean & Vincent*Contemporary* It Doesn't Hurt (Studio Version), Katie Thompson
This was all about her. I think this performance put her into the top 4. It was an extremely emotional peice for the dancers, the judges and me aswell .Brilliant.
Emanuel Solo:I'm pretty much done with him. Solo was so cheesy and definitely not in a good way.
Melanie & Everett*Hip Hop*That's Right, Ciara
I love him in this. He hit it hard, and i hope this dance saves him. She did amazing aswell.
Jaimie Rae & Emanuel* Jazz Funk* I Gotta Feeling, Black Eyed Peas
The dress was so distracting. I think with a little less dress, it could have been great. The concept was great, it just wasn't all there.
Vincent Solo:His hips are just crazy, but it seems like i've seen this solo many times from him.
After a great show its really hard to call, but crossing my fingers for Emanuel to go home. With the girls its a lose, lose situation as those three are so talented!

SYTYCD Canada Top 8 results

The top 8 perform a jazz/theater piece by Tyce Diorio. It was really entertaining and overall a fun piece.
The bottom four people were Kim,Melanie, Cody and Everett. I was shocked, because Emanuel was clearly the worst of the night. I could not believe it. Cody and Kim ended up having the lowest number of votes and i blame the smooth waltz, and not each other. Kim was great throughout the competition, and Cody had pretty good performances as well. Its sucks, but somebody had to go. Next week is an hour and half of dance!

SYTYCD Canada Top 8 Performances

Vincent,Everett,Emanuel, & Cody:Theatre*Beggin' Jersey Boys, The Four Seasons.
The performance was alright. I'm not crazy about it. I didn't think they were in sync with each other. They all kind of did their own thing.
Tara-Jean & Vincent*Rumba*Hero,Enrique Iglesias
The dress was weird, and i hated the song choice. The under the leg thing they did was amazing. The kiss at the end was awkward though.
Jaimie Rae solo:I found that the song didn't match the movements. I think she has been much more solid before.
Kim & Cody*Hip Hop*Humpin' Around, Bobby Brown
I think Cody definitely stepped it up with this piece. I hated the song choice, but i did love that we got to see them in their style.
Melanie & Emanuel*Contemporary*The Scientist,Coldplay
It could have been gorgeous, but it was just ok. The lifts looked unfinished, and i'm not sure if that was choreography, or because of Emanuel's injury's.
Everett Solo:It was a nice solo. It wasn't as a good as last week, but hopefully its enough.
Jamie Rae & Everett*Mambo*En Barranquilla Me Quedo, Joe Arroyo
Incredibly hot. It was the best of the night so far. They are a great couple together, and i always forget how incredible it is that Everett is a tapper and is this amazing.
Melanie solo:It was the first time i didn't really like her.I found it a little to awkward for her.
Melanie, Kim, Jamie Rae & Tara Jean:Jazz*Dr. Feelgood, Aretha Franklin
It was a great routine. They were in unison, they played off eachother, it was all there. I hated the costumes. I think this is probably the strongest top 4 girls ever.
Tara Jean & Vincent*Krump*Chea-Chea-Chea, Tha J-Squad
This dance could have destroyed them but they really stepped it up. She was hitting it as hard as i've ever seen her, and he was really good for a ball room dancer. It was good.
Emanuel solo:I thought it was nice, he gave it his all, which was definitely what he needed to do.
Kim & Cody*Smooth Waltz*What a Wonderful World Louis Armstrong
Oh... this was just bad. That's it.
Melanie & Emanuel*Disco*Hush Hush; Hush Hush, The Pussycat Dolls
It was a good routine, i'm not sure if it was good enough to keep them out of the bottom though.
Kim Solo:I think it was hot, hopefully she saved herself with that solo.
Jaime Rae & Everett*Jazz Funk*Sexy Chick, (feat. Akon) David Guetta
It was amazing. The best of the night by far, top two right here!If she doesn't win this show i will be shocked!
Cody Solo:It was so-so.I'm kind of over him even more then i was last week.
Tara-jean Solo:It was simple ,and beautiful .Simply beautiful.
Vincent Solo:It was an odd song choice, but he is a performer and made it great.
*Best of the night were Jaimie Rae and Everett by a long shot. I'd be shocked if either of these two were in the bottom .They were on fire all night.Worst of the night, i would say is Emanuel by far ,with Cody not far behind him. For the girls its really a tossup, because they all were pretty good. Kim had that one dance that was off, and Melanie had Emanuel as a partner. I think Emanuel and Melanie will go.

SYTYCD Canada Top 10 Results

The dancers opened the show with a beautiful contemporary piece. It was beautiful, one of the best of the season. Leah got right down into it, and named the bottom vote getter's. For the females it would be Melanie and Amy. The bottom males were Cody and Austin. They then got to perform their solos even though the votes were already final. We then had to say goodbye to Amy and Austin. Next week, we have a two hour special. There will be two different dances, and Nico is going to be back as well. There will also be a top 4 girls number ,as well as a top 4 guys number. Its going to be a great show!!!

SYTYCD Canada Top 10 Performances

Now that we are in the top ten, a few changes are made to the show. Firstly, we get to see each contestant do a solo. The partners are switched up. Canada is voting for the contestant they want to be Canada's favourite dancer. The lowest boy and the lowest girl will be eliminated based on the results not the judges anymore.
Vincent & Melanie*Paso Doble*Conquest, The White Stripes
I Hate this dance so much. We rarely get to see it performed properly and with enough anger and passion. I think they did a good job though, the song choice made it a little more fun and not as dangerous.
Cody & Amy*Contemporary*Come Home, (feat. Sara Bareilles) OneRepublic
It was choreographed amazingly. I think some of the other couples might have done a better job at it, but it was pretty good.
Emanuel & Tara Jean*Samba*Samba Vocalizado (The Vocal Samba), Luciano Perrone
I did not like this dance at all. There wasn't one good thing about it.
Everett & Kim*Jazz Fusion*St. James Infirmary Blues, The White StripesThe best dance of the night. I was almost losing hope until these two performed. Just awesome!
Jamie Rae & Austin*Hip Hop*Da Rockwilder, Method Man & Redman
It was an average dance, which made the dancer look average. There was nothing magical about it. Its odd how there are two songs from The White Stripes.
My Rankings(Based on the pair dance & solo:
1. Kim *She commands the stage, i was disappointed in her outfit though.
2.Everett *The best solo of the night, his tapping is crazy!
3.Jaimie Rae *I love her solos, they are always so entertaining.
4.Melanie * It wasn't her best solo, but she still is great.
5.Vincent *He has had better solos, his legs are crazy fast though.
6.Tara Jean *This solo saved her, and maybe even from the bottom two girls.
7.Austin * He is really talented, but i just don't connect with him.
8.Cody *I like him and this solo,but i think he is the weakest male dancer
9.Emanuel *It was a interesting solo.
10.Amy *She is the weakest female and i didn't like the solo.
My Bottom girls would be Amy and Tara Jean, and the males would be Emanuel & Cody.

SYTYCD Canada Top 12 Results

The opening number was great. Kim had the main part, and she did great at it. I have decided that its between Kim, Melanie, and Jamie Rae to win the show. Its definitely going to be a female. The Bottom three couples ended up being Melanie & Cody, Corynne & Austin and Jaime Rae & Daniel.
Solos
Melanie: I love her dancing. She just dances without even thinking about it. Great solo.
Corynne:I think she is a good dancer but technically she needs a lot of work. Didn't like the solo
Jaime Rae: I thought it was a beautiful performance.
Cody: It was cute, but it just wasn't good enough.
Austin:He is really a great dancer, but there is something missing.
Daniel:I enjoyed his solo, especially when he started to take his shirt off.lol
Leah is crying as she announces who is going home. Corynne is sent home and so is Daniel!!!!! Its my first sad moment in an elimination. I didn't think he was the weakest. I really wanted to see him in the top 10.
But here is your top ten:Emanuel,Amy,Austin,Jamie Rae,Vincent,Tara Jean,Kim,Everett,Melanie,Cody
