SYTYCD Blog #21: We Have Our Top 4 Finalists
We are down to the top four and on our way to the Season Finale. The show started off with a Mandy Moore choreographed group number, and performances by Lady GaGa and a 6 year old dancing phenomenon by the name of Lil' Demon. Also news from guest judge Adam Shankman, the winner will be receiving a dancing role in an upcoming movie being produced by Shankman himself. At the end of the show Mark and Chelsie were sent home. This means our top 4 dancers competing in next week finale are Twitch, Joshua, Courtney, and Katee.
Well, I am happy with tonight’s results. And I was definitely reassured in my choice of Courtney over Chelsie tonight after the group number. Chelsie was struggling to do some of those movie, where Courtney was doing the dance effortlessly. I have stated that in the couple dances Chelsie has been better than Courtney throughout the season, but she was terrible with the solos. And we were looking for the best “dancer”, not the best “group dancer”. So I do believe that Courtney was the best choice. It is sad to see Chelsie go, because she was a joy to watch, and very talented. I think she has a bright future ahead of her. As for the loss of Mark, he is also a great dancer, but as I said yesterday, his time was up two weeks ago. Finally, wasn’t that Lil’ Demon so cute? Absolutely adorable, and he’s got some great moves. That is a star in the making right there. So next week is the finale, and I am ready for it! It is going to be one heck of a show.
The group dance at the beginning had some really nice partnering moves that I enjoyed and Lil’ Demon was pretty cool for a six year old kid, but Lady GaGa looked like a freaky reject from the eighties. Her mic kind of sucked, but I don’t think I would have enjoyed the song even with a good microphone. It was like a train wreck that you just couldn’t look away though.
I was not surprised to see Katee and Joshua picked first as part of the final four. They had such an amazing night last night, I would have been surprised to see either leave the competition. As I said yesterday, Courtney and Chelsie were neck and neck, I stand by my call that Chelsie is the better dancer of the two, but I am glad to see Courtney in the finale-she was an early favorite for me. If Twitch had been voted off I think I would have quit the show immediately, after Will left, he’s my favorite guy. I like Mark, but I think even he knew that he was just a little too weird to be America’s favorite dancer. My vote for the winner of the competition now sits with Katee, I’m not sure if she’s the most popular dancer, but I think she has the most talent of the people that are left. I think Twitch however is the most popular, so he could very well win it too.
As Dancer X stated, Courtney and Mark were the weak pairing of the night… Dance #1 was boring and Dance #2 was stupid. Effectively, they went from unmemorable to obnoxious, but Courtney’s past performances with Gev kept her alive. Perhaps undeservedly, although Dancer X can’t think of a single thing that Chelsie did last night so Dancer X has no issues with her unceremonious exit. Dancer X had a crazy Wednesday night after the show, but for unrelated reasons.
As for Mark, he’s been a character, and generally enjoyable to watch, but his brand of silliness clearly does not resonate with America when compared to the super-tight, high-energy moves of Twitch and Joshua.
Dancer X is very excited for next week’s finale. Dancer X calls it: the final two will not include Courtney. She has been overshadowed by the other three. Twitch has been floating along on post-Twitchington goodwill, and his weird stunting (gold teeth?!?) this week hurt him a bit… leaving Katee and Joshua to rise to the top. Although wait for the inevitable SWITCHEROO as Katee picks Twitch from the random partner hat.
Dancer X predicts L’il Demon FTW.
Your Top 4 Finalists!
