Emmys 2011, Best Choreography Nominee: Mandy Jo Moore

This video contains the dances that Mandy Jo Moore has been nominated for for Best Choreography at the 2011 Emmys.

The dances are shown in the order that I personally like them, from least to most.

*Sorry for the quality of the first video, it was the best I could find.

Oh Yeah (Jazz): This dance makes me shake my head. I can't believe this is being nominated for an Emmy. First, I can't really look past how awful the song is and how it really doesn't seem to work with the choreography or with the performances from Lauren Froderman and Ade Obayomi. Once again, I shake my head.

I Surrender (Contemporary): I can really appreciate this dance. We don't get to see Mandy do contemporary choreography very often, and this was a really nice change for her. I love Neil, and I think he does a really great job with this piece. One big thing that's lacking for me is the emotional aspect of the performance.

Boogie Shoes (Jazz): This is such a fun dance! I really like how light and playful the choreography is, and how Lauren Froderman and Billy Bell look like they're having a great time while dancing. Though this is a fresh and upbeat number, there's still some challenging choreography. This is a routine that will be remembered for being fun, but not allow for an emotional connection to the piece.

Overall: Even with the disaster that is "Oh Yeah," I think Mandy Jo Moore has some great aspects to her nominated pieces. Unfortunately, I don't think her choreography or the overall appeal of the performances will be enough to really capture the attention of voters. Good for her for getting a nomination, but I highly doubt she'll win.

Thank you for watching, and comments are welcome.

NEIL !!!  ....... need I say more? LOL (I cant believe I have a Neil crush---I have a son his age---teehee)

He is always such a great partner in his routines.

Mandy Moore did an amazing routine on SYTYCD Canada with Melissa and Joey, look it up! It's better than those first 2 dances combined! And it has an emotional aspect. That being said, I adore the Boogie Shoes routine. I don't think you need a good piece needs to be heavy or emotional, because while there are tough times in life, there are fun times in life too! And I think that routine celebrates that.

Lauren is in two of the three routines... There is a reason why she wins.

I guess it's all about opinions, I personally thought Oh Yeah was the best out of the 3 routines.
