I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know if anyone knows about this, but the so called à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“liveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  results show last night was not all à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“liveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ . My daughter was actually at a Jonas Bros. concert in Mansfield, MA last night at the same time they were supposedly performing live on SYTYCD. I wonder how much of the show was actually pre-recordedà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

It’s all documented in my spoilers from Tuesday:

http://mjsbigblog.com/so-you-think-you-can-dance-finale-spoilers.htm

All of the special guest performances were pre-recorded, including Mary and Nigel’s dance routines.

I know exactly what you mean! I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t watch season 1 at all, and season 2 only here and there. But I watched season 3 from the beginning

Hey that’s the same thing I did. My mother and friends kept telling me about the show, so I finally caved, and watched the last few weeks of season 2. Loved Travis. Thought Sabra was great last year.

Okay, so everytime someone types “Kherington Payne” I literally crack up knowing that it is someone’s actual name and not a character on a nightime soap.

I’m not a huge fan of the contemporary dance style. It’s so weird and choppy to me, and seems to lack flow. That’s why Mia is a genius to me – because she can choreograph that style to look smooth.

I actually thought the first blond contemporary girl – the one who tried out last year and came back – was better than Kherington.

Either way, I know this, Nigel loves him some blond contemporary dancers, so one or both of those girls will be in the top 20. Problem is, America seems to hate them. So, whichever of them makes it will most likely be out in the first 10.

What I noticied with this set of judges is that they even gave the “underwear guy” constructive critizism. After they controlled their laughter they didnt say “that was utterly ridiculous” they instead asked why did you feel the need to do that and when he told them Mia said she understood his concept but she and Mary explained to him that he needed to go another way. You could see how earnest he was and they saw that and didnt want to humiliate him. So, I liked that about them.

While I thought they were good, I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think they were anything compared to Pasha.

Oh yes, Pasha. The ultimate Prince Charming. There is a certain elegance about his dance and his personality.

Favorite weekly event: What will Cat Deeley wear?

That à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“sexà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  guy comes back every year to torture us.

I have to groan every year when I remember about him and the almost 100% chance that he will audition once more. Ugh.

I am keeping my eyes out for Kherington. She seems a bit like Lauren in that she’s always smiling (not necessarily a bad thing), but she brings a lot of energy to the dance floor. I don’t know if she necessarily has the best technique out of the auditioners we’ve seen so far, but she has a radiance that really draws me in. Plus, it’s nice to see someone who’s just really enjoying themselves and having fun.

Danny and Travis are brothers. Danny is adopted. Their mother runs a dance studio, I believe. Both are amazing dancers! Both have provided memorable moments on that show, fer sure.

I’m not 100% clear on the details – but here’s what I know. Denise Wall owns a very prestigious dance studio. Her sons are fabulous dancers (as evidenced by Travis’s second place finish on Season 2). She adopted Danny when he was about tween age. He was a student of hers who was a severely neglected child who managed to get himself the many miles to her dance studio every day. Danny has an extensive ballet background as well – he’s truly gifted. Danny finished in second on Season 3 (robbed!!).

Also Sumi – I think I saw Sara too. And yes – Dom was rocking some serious moves on Wednesday night – he was wearing a bandana so he was hard to recognize.

For all of you Elliott fans, Danny did one of his solos to A Song For You.

Okay – to make my post somewhat relevant & timely – about last night….. That “sex” guy comes back every year to torture us. And, the host Cat is adorable – she has such huge love for the contestants and is so encouraging of them, that she can pronouce any words weirdly that she wants to and I will always love her.

Was it Danny that had the brother in the competition before? Travis or was that Neils brother??

Travis was choreographing the dancers who moved to that round last night.

Hope we see more of him, and past contestants, this year.

Unlike with Idol, these dancers, including the winners, just fade into the woodwork when the season ends.

There seemed to be a lot of love from the judges for those 2 pairs of ballroom dancers. While I thought they were good, I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think they were anything compared to Pasha.

Word on that. My guess is they were the only ballroom dancers auditioning in LA. Gotta fill the quota, ya know? Pasha could do almost anything. (Although I’m glad I didn’t have to see him krump.)
None of the comtemporary dancers last night could even be in the same room with Sabre or Allison.

The choreographer, Wade Robson, can do no wrong IMO. Enjoy!

I love Wade, I really, really do. Most of the time, I think he’s brilliant. But, that mama & baby fox thing he did for last year’s finale with the girls was kind of dumb. I didn’t think the piece was as bad as the judges did in general – but the problem with it was it didn’t give the girl’s enough to work with to show their talents. And, that’s important for the last night of competition.

But, on this show, Wade has given us some really special moments, so I’m willing to forgive and forget, and I look forward to seeing him again this season.

Last night was a fun show. There seemed to be a lot of love from the judges for those 2 pairs of ballroom dancers. While I thought they were good, I didn’t think they were anything compared to Pasha. I’m predicting that we’ll see some better ballroom representatives, and I don’t see any of those 4 making it past Vegas.

The one thing I love about this show, is how it allows those people who even make it to Vegas to come back each year and try again, and show what they’ve worked on over that time. So, needless to say – I’m hoping Twitch makes it to the show!
