This Woman's Work

Yes, I know, I talk about this show a lot, but please allow me this free pass. Last night was extremely powerful due to a dance by Tyce DiOrio talking about the turmoil that a woman goes through when she has Breast Cancer. There is not a lot more that I can say, it speaks for itself.

SYTYCD Week 4- Good stuff, lots and lots of good stuff!!

Janette and Brandon: Cha, Cha, Cha- HOT, HOT & HOT! Holy Moley! THE HOT TAMELE TRAIN CAME FOR THEM, OMG, AND THOSE WERE FIRST CLASS TICKETS!!!!!! I HAVE TO SEE THAT AGAIN!!! I am so glad that Mia came out and said that she is the hardest on the ones that are bursting with talent because I’m sure that Brandon felt pretty crappy about himself after Mia and Lil C had a little too much to say to him at the auditions. You could see how much that compliment choke him up…but Brandon has nailed everything that they have given to him, he is simply amazing!

Kayla and Kupono: Jazz- If only I could understand the place that Sonya’s dances come from, I just don’t understand her mind. The dance was really dark, but not in a bad way it is just a new world of dance. This is the reason why I really LOVE this show, it opens your eyes up to what dance could be. Simply awesome! I really like the two of them together, not to say anything about Ashley or Max, but they are a great couple! And they were given a second trip on the HOT TAMELE train. WOOHOO! Alright 2 for 2 for the HOT TAMELE TRAIN! What a great start to the week!

Randi and Evan: Broadway, Wow, I figured that the judges would be all over that, because I absolutely loved it. But here again, I do not have that educated viewpoint. This was not would I would traditionally think of as Broadway, but it was darker play fight between man and woman with a Broadway twist! Hmm… I really liked it.

Catlin and Jason: Jazz, Okay- woman alien invades earth and she has to find the last man to procreate with…Really?? How do they come up with this? It was certainly enjoyable if you are able to just imagine and play along with the story that they are telling, but boy, that was straight up weird! I just love this show!

Jeanine and Philip: Hip-Hop Very cute! They were literally chained together at the ankles and not once did they mess up. It was great!!! (They should have been on the HOT TAMELE TRAIN).

Melissa and Ade: Classical Ballet- Yeap, you heard me right CLASSICAL BALLET on SYTYCD!!!! Romeo and Juliet, it was simply amazing! The two of them were just awesome! LOVED IT!!!

Karla and Vitolio: Quick Step, Oh boy, this dance is always the kiss of death. But they did a really great job!!! That was great! WOOHOO!

And what you have to remember is that these are not the styles that any of these dancers were trained in and they look like they have been dancing these styles for years. It is unreal how amazing these dancers are. I do not know who goes home this week, and I am glad I do not have to make that decision.WHAT A GREAT EVENING! THAT WAS AMAZING!

SYTYCD Week 3

I am a huge fan of the show, HUGE! I get so excited for this time of the year! And to have it again in the fall, OMG!!! Woohoo! (insert flaring arms here) So here is a quick recap of the night for those who may have missed it.

Karla and Jonathan: Hip Hop- Cute, but probably not going to be memorable. I don’t know if it was as bad as a “Sunday School Picnic” as Nigel stated but I agree with Mary, the two of them looked off. We’ll see.

Asuka and Vitolio: Jazz, Okay. There seemed to be a lot of “dead spots” in there between the moves. Maybe hesitation is a better word. I am not a dancer, so of all of my critiques are from an uneducated point of view, just an entertainment factor.

Melissa and Ade: Rumba, Wow, now that was a dance! I would love to be able to pull off and outfit that Melissa had on, it was gorgeous. I really enjoyed watching that!

Janette and Brandon: Hip Hop, That was very cool! And I think that Brandon has to have proven Mia and Lil C wrong with that number.

Kayla and Kupono: Vietnamese Waltz- I like these two together. Kayla is an amazing dancer; she has nailed everything that they have given to her. I think she might be headed to the Top 4.

Randi and Evan: Jazz, OMG, to be in the mind of Mia Michaels, what would that be like?? The butt dance was great, and extremely original. I really like the two of them, they are awfully cute together! Probably my favorite number of the night! Well, Melissa and Ade were pretty darn good too. Hmm…

Katlin and Jason: Paso Doble. I enjoyed that. The music automatically makes number that pretty powerful.

Jeanine and Philip: Broadway, what a cute number! I never would have thought that a “popper” would have been able to pull that off, but I thought that he did great. That was a fun number.

Nothing really hit me as an amazing “OMG, I have to see that dance again” but that is just me. What did everyone think?? Let the discussions begin!
