Paula Abdul will return to judge the So You Think You Can Dance final next week. Olympic gold medalist, Gabby Douglas, will join her, and I predict another Carly Rae Jepsen fail, but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Also, next week’s all-stars will be Comfort, Robert, Melinda and tWitch. Good stuff!
Check out the press release below:
Tonight, after America’s vote was revealed on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, the judges – Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and guest judge Jesse Tyler Ferguson – announced that “Fik-Shun,” Jasmine Harper, Aaron Turner and Amy Yakima were advancing to the performance finale and Hayley Erbert and Paul Karmiryan were sent home.
The Top Four finalists on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE offer their reactions to making it into the season finale:
Fik-Shun – “Making the finale means everything. It makes my journey all worth it.”
Jasmine Harper – : “Making the finale means the world to me. It’s hard to even think about it, because I’m so focused. It is surreal.”
Aaron Turner – “It’s unbelievable to make the finale, because I wasn’t supposed to be in the Top 20. This is like a fairy tale ending.”
Amy Yakima – “It’s been a long journey since I auditioned and I’ve watched the show for a while. It’s really cool to make the finale. I never thought I could do it.”
On Part One of the season finale airing Tuesday, Sept. 3 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the competition heats up when guest judges Paula Abdul and Olympic Gold medalist Gabby Douglas join the judging panel. Also, the Top Four finalists – “Fik-Shun,” Jasmine Harper, Aaron Turner and Amy Yakima – perform for America’s votes for the last time to determine which two – one male and one female – are named America’s Favorite Dancers. The following week, Tuesday, Sept. 10 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), in a special finale celebration, the winners will be announced, with each receiving $125,000 and appearing on the cover of Dance Spirit magazine.
