If anyone else could have deduced that from the dance itself – sans explanation – then wow you sure have the artistic eye (I know I don’t).

I don’t have much of one either, I don’t think – most dances just kind of go by in a blur to me, although I am beginning to appreciate it more since I’ve been watching the videos on here. I think I would have realized what this dance was about though because of the use of the head scarf. I thought this dance was beautifully done and it did affect me emotionally because of memories about my mother. It was a great performance but I agree that the emotional impact of it ensured their safety this week. I don’t have strong feelings about any of the dancers, I like them all and admire them all. I was a little surprised about Janette though, I think they’re all really good but she seemed the most likeable to me, I thought that she just had a really cute way about her.

I am not going to get worked up over Katie Holmes. I appreciated Tyce’s work and that was a Judy Garland tribute – it was not about Katie trying to be one of the pro dancers on the show. That “throwback” style was all about guys fawning all over a woman and not so much about the woman dancing up a storm. And sure it was pre-recorded on a special sound stage. It would have been nice if she could have sung during the taping instead of separate recording. I just take it for what it was.

MJ had it bang on the nail – same as I thought WED night. As soon as that cancer number played out, those two went from bottom to safe. It was a great number, but if no one had introduced it, it would have just been a nice number and I at least would never have realized the motivation behind it. If anyone else could have deduced that from the dance itself – sans explanation – then wow you sure have the artistic eye (I know I don’t).

As far as Katie Holmes, I thought it was an EPIC FAIL (okay, it was just a fail, but it was one for me). I love the work she is doing for the charity, but seriously? With all of the amazing alums they had at the show and the Idol alums they could have brought back, they used Katie? I nicely tweeted Adam S and Nigel. Nigel said he was going to block “Katie haters.” I am not a hater, but I do feel that this was a big mistake on a big night (and a fun one, too; Wade, Travis, and Heidi set me into a Paula-like puddle).

And as for the results: BOO, especially for Janette. I had her for top 4, along with Jeanine (who BETTER NOT BE VOTED OFF NEXT WEEK). Jason was not a total shocker, but I think Ade or Evan should have gone first. AND SAVE BRANDON. I haven’t voted this season, but I guess I’ll have to now.

Regarding Katie Holmes, I have to admit I have no idea how she did – I wasn’t watching her, I was watching the guys dancing with her. :smile1_tb: :

TM is keeping top seats back for an auction and IDK if they are skimming off tickets for their premium site like they were caught doing by Bruce Springsteen who put a stop to it for his shows.

I was putting in my order for Boston before my computer clock said 10:00am (the order page had come up) and while I got floors, for ordering 5 I got at least 1/2 way back.

Makes me wonder if not better off to wait for regular sales day unless the pre-sale comes back with awesome seats. Too late for this time, but I know in concert pre-sales, I have often just abandonned offered seats and waited until the main sale date.
