Beyond Reality - So You Think You Can Dance Recap 11/24/09

[Vastatozilla]

this stuff is so gay.

[Kittenswithpartyhats]

You need to play some clips along with it

[leahhea]

this is stupid

[21Hova21]

-Gibson number was boring

-nappy tabs are overrated imo

Ashleigh hip-hop routine sucked

[PenaltyKillah]

I only agree with one of them actually.

I won't say which point, but after watching the very latest episodes (Top 8), I think you can guess. Dancing and acting in one routine is so Season 4.

[VietRebel45]

It's pronounced "Like-lee"

I love Kathryn. She's my favourite. I like Jokob too but I hope Kathryn wins.

[CarlaHeiney]

It is pronounced "Heiney"

thanks, guys. Long "I" like the body part ; )

[classicbigal]

nathan and mollee were AMAZING!! i really don't like karen or victor but there hip hop was by far the best hip hop on there.

[jodalita]

I agree. Victor is leaving for sure. The only possibility is that he may be safe, in which case Russell (or Legacy) would go home. I don't think it'll happen, but who knows?

For the girls, my guess would be Noelle. They already have Ellenore, Kathryn, and Mollee for technique. She is probably the weakest link, plus she gets to go on tour anyway so that she can do her Afro Jazz again. If she's safe, I would go with Karen (or Mollee) to go home.

[trissyton]

Ellenore 'has been' my favorite ...also Jacob....and they still are. I'm ready for victor to go but i kinda like karen...i think the weakest girl link last night was russel's partner (forgot her name) because of the samba performance that wasn't that great. I really love your reviews ...you always bring the facts without overdoing the sarcasm (plus your on my side with the whole Ellenore fav thingy..lol.).....LOVE IT.

[regemo]

Ellenore and Jacob, final two. Dream come true.

[Masterxazer]

Victor is leaving for sure, and then probably Karen. I want it to be Noelle or Mollee though, because overall, Karen has done better than them. She just doesn' t have the fanbase. Too bad.

Ellenore and Jakob rock my world - I would KILL to see them paired up and get Wade.

[britishippo]

Overall, Karen's done the worst; she should have gone last week, and deserved her fate this week. Mollee's more personable and passionate, as demonstrated by her solo.

But Ellenore and Jakob with a Wade Robson piece? Be careful what you wish for; the amount of awesome may destroy the world

[Keeliv]

@britishippo

Mollee's solo had nothing. Her gymnastics are not personable, she's like a cheerleader...No musicality and she's never had a single standout routine.

Karen at least had the Tango, the hip-hop and her cha cha.

[britishippo]

@Keeliv

Nigel even took time to point out that Mollee's solo showed that she actually cared and was fighting for her life, and Karen's only truly memorable (for me) routine was that amazing Tango. Unfortunately, it was followed up by that atrocious Hip-Hop, causing her to be (deservedly) sent home.

Also, think about what you're saying for a moment: someone who is "like a cheerleader" isn't personable and has no musicality? Cheerleaders embody the very concepts of personableness and musicality.

[Keeliv]

Nigel is a manipulative douche who changes his standards from week to week. For example;

Mollee was awful, if you know anything about dance you'll notice that it was all tricks, weak transitions and NO connection with her music whatsoever, just trick after trick. Neil Haskell and Marquis Cunningham were called out for it in previous seasons (however both did better jobs than Mollee) BY NIGEL. When did his standards change? His word lacks weight on this show because he lacks consistency.

[britishippo]

Say what you will about Nigel and his supposed douchebaggery, but notice this as well:

Mollee was safe and Karen went home, and it was a unanimous decision from the judges. Clearly, Nigel and I aren't the only ones who thought that Karen was the weakest link and that Mollee's solo showed that she deserved to stay.

[Keeliv]

I can give you countless reasons for Nigel's douchebaggery, I'd be happy to explain them you're interested in listening. Anyways, over the seasons its pretty clear the judges don't do things solely based on the best dancers anymore. They have their own agendas and that includes selling tickets for the tour.

For all you know, the judges decided to keep Mollee because they thought more people would pay to see her. Why? Because tweens love her, she's perky bouncy and annoying, just like a tween.

[britishippo]

NEWSFLASH: The show is America's Favorite Dancer, not America's Best Dancer. As shown two weeks ago, they go for personality more than technique; if it was based solely on technique, Channing would have stayed.

Plus, ticket sales couldn't have had anything to do with Mollee staying; given that she'd made it to the Top 12, she was going to go on tour no matter what.

[jz123100]

What are you talking about? Did we watch the same show?

[aqualiz]

btw, have a fantastic break, Maddie. You deserve it!
