The judges are giving him props, the contestants are crying. Alex is crying. So sad. Alex was the star of the show. What a loss. He must be so disappointed. Get well soon Alex!

Can I say what bullsh*t it was to have Billy Bell and Ashley Galvan join Alex in the bottom 2. And girls continue to get get shafted in the voting. I mean, Ashley? Instead of Adechike? Instead or Robert? Instead of Jose? Ugh. Billy is better than all three of those dancers as well. It would have sucked losing either one of them.

Who is going home tonight on So You Think You Can Dance? We’ll find out…

Tonight, see performances by pop singer Natasha Bedingfield and the cast of Broadway’s Tony Award-winning smash hit “In The Heights.”

Group Dance: “When We Dance” by Sting – Angels dance on the clouds! Tableaus are beautiful, but looks really hard to hold! Choreographed by Mia Michaels

Alex is automatically in the bottom 3, due to his injury. If he’s not well enough to continue in the competition, he will be cut tonight.

Adam Shankman has been nominated for 12 Emmys, due mostly to his work as producer/choreographer on the Oscars.

Emmy talk: So You Think You Can Dance got 3 noms, Stacey Tookie, Mia Michaels and a makeup pereson. Former contestant, Chelsie Hightower was nominated for Dancing with the Stars. But holy crap, CAT DEELEY WAS ROBBED Y’ALL! She was not nominated for for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program.

Billy and Lauren take center stage. Billy is in the bottom 3! Adam tells Billy to forget that he’s in a competition. He needs to connect. Lauren is safe.

Oh wow. Idol pimping the upcoming auditions with a TV spot. I think that’s a first.

Back after the commercial, the rest of the contestants take the stage. Kent is safe. So is Jose and Robert. Ashley and Adechike are left. Mia apologizes to Adechike for being so harsh on him last night. She says she’s “Tough Love Mama Mia” and will always love him. Ashley is in the B3. BULLSHIT.

Anya and Pasha perform “Magic Carpet Ride” (No Comprende Edit) by Mighty Dub Katz

The cast of the Broadway show, In The Hights take the stage.
