Join me.
Group Number: Move To The Ocean by Brick and Mortar
Cool stage set up. Very theatrical. Awesome costumes. Good song. Great way to start a show.
That was choreographed by Mia. That’s why it was so awesome.
The All-Stars that the dancers are paired with have also choreographed the routines.
Our Judges: Nigel, Mary, and Jenna Elfman. Jenna Elfman actually has a dance background we were all unaware of. She might actually be able to give legit feedback tonight. Fingers crossed. She’ll be better than Carly Rae Jepsen at least.
Your Bottom Four: Fik-Shun, Jenna, Tucker, and Hayley (WOW). Amy just got touched by an ANGEL. Bye Jenna. lol
All four are dancing solos.
Fik-Shun- If You Krump Stand Up
Fik Shun has made it the whole competition without needing to dance a solo. Had he, we might have seen this. This was brilliant.
Hayley- Skin an Bones
Hayley is beautiful in her movement. I feel like it was a typical contemporary solo though.
Jenna- Greyhound
Jenna’s benefit is also her downfall when it comes to doing a solo. She’s the only non-contemporary female dancer left, which could make the difference in keeping her. However, it makes her solo harder.
Tucker- Beautiful Child
His solo is quite terrific, lots of leaps. Better than Hayley’s.
1) Aaron and Chelsie Hightower- Jive- Great Balls Of Fire from Million Dollar Quartet
What I love about Aaron is that he always injects his personalty into every piece, and he’s incredibly masculine while doing so. That’s actually kind of rare on this show. As far as Chelsie’s choreography, I thought it was solid. A nice Jive. Lots of stunts to show off Aaron’s ability. Aaron’s shirt is open after the number, and he doesn’t notice. Mary says he missed a connection, and some other technical things, like with his shoulders. Jenna tells him to button his shirt, finally. Jenna is impressed with his journey. Jenna calls him a money dancer. Nigel says he’s proud of Chelsie for doing Dancing With The Stars. Nigel thinks Aaron has done enough to be a finalist this year. Since he thinks Paul can win, we know who his top 2 are.

2) Fik-Shun and Allison Holker- Contemporary- Skinny Love by Birdy
Story based on society’s prejudice. Fik-Shun has a little trouble lifting Allison in one part. Otherwise, this is a beautiful piece. Unfortunately, my eyes are drawn to Allison, who is stunning, and she’s outshining Fik-Shun a bit. But when I am looking at him, he’s doing a good job. Except for that one lift. Allison should choreograph more. Definitely. Jenna wants to be Allison. She tells Fik-Shun he can do no wrong and calls him pure lifeforce. Nigel liked Allison’s routine, and mentioned Allison’s impending marriage to Twitch. He spends a lot of time praising Allison and her choreography. He does manage to bring up Fik-Shun’s lack of technique. LOL. Mary also loved Allison’s choreography. Most of the critiques were about Allison. Hah. Mary thought Fik-Shun has something unique that affects people.

3) Tucker and Courtney Galiano- Contemporary- Clarity by Zedd feat. Foxes
Well, obviously Tucker is great in this. He’s dancing in his style. Courtney is fantastic too. Solid choreography. I think Allison’s number was a bit better though. Nigel tells Tucker that he is inspirational. Wow. Courtney has MS, and was blind in her left eye for a month. Damn. I had no idea. That’s gonna crash this site again. LOL. I’d better save this post now…Courtney gets a standing O from the judges, and she’s genuinely touched. Mary tells Courtney she loves him, and loves Tucker’s dad for being so supportive. Jenna tells Tucker he’s special and moves her every time she sees him.

4) Paul and Comfort- Hip Hop-
That’s a really cool background. Whoever painted that is sick. I think Paul does hip hop better than some of the other boys this season (Tucker), but Comfort is wiping the floor with him. There’s no contest here. She outdanced him. Valiant effort, but it wasn’t hard enough, or gangsta enough. Paul lacks the appropriate swag. Mary applauds Comfort first. Mary calls Paul one of the most versatile dancers on the show (there aren’t that many left, lol). Jenna never thought she would see him do this. She’s inspired by him. Nigel thanks Comfort for the routine and calls it great fun. I hope Comfort choreographs again.

5) Hayley and Dmitry- Rumba- Meant by Elizaveta
An easy rumba for Hayley, it’s almost contemporary in parts. She’s super sexy in this routine though. Dmitry has made her look fantastic, and has choreographed a great piece altogether (even if it is a weak rumba). Jenna loved the choreography, and gets googly eyed over him. She says there’s nothing that Hayley can’t do. Nigel thinks Hayley has done everything to her absolute best, and hasn’t missed a step, and has grown each week. Nigel congratulates Dmitry on being an Emmy nominated choreographer. Mary says Hayley got it right tonight.

6) Jenna and Mark Kanemura- Jazz- I Am The Best- 2NE1
I can’t even begin to describe this. It must be watched to be truly enjoyed. Mark needs to choreograph more. What a fantastically bizarre routine. Standing O from the judges. Cat gives Mark a big hug and says she’s never seen anything like it before. Nigel says it was phenomenal. Nigel thinks Mark should choreograph for Gaga. Nigel says Jenna is a brilliant dancer who does anything asked of her. Mary calls it great. Mary hopes to see more of Mark. Jenna says Mark has a big career ahead of him as a choreographer.

7) Jasmine and Twitch- Hip Hop- The Power by District 78
Twitch and Jasmine play superheroes. Twitch’s solos were always the best, so his routine is gonna be sick. Jasmine is believable as a hip hop dancer. The only problem is that Twitch always steals the show. It’s impossible to outdance Twitch in his own style. Mary says Jasmine was firing on all cylinders. Jenna says that she loves Twitch’s sense of humor. Nigel says it was a good attempt to out twitch Twitch. Nigel says Jasmine is now his favorite dancer, having lost Makenzie. He hopes she makes the finale.

8) Amy and Travis- Contemporary- Wicked Game by James Vincent McMorrow
Amy’s cousin is a Rockette. This is pretty typical Travis choreography. Good, strong work. Amy is not outshined by Travis. He’s managed to highlight her. That leap was insane (the one right near the end). Standing O from the judges. Jenna calls Travis’s choreography perfection, and says Amy is an angel, and technically perfect. She says Amy communicates emotion effortlessly. Jenna says Travis’s routine last week affected her, and changed her life. Nigel thinks they just saw something special. Nigel tells Travis that he has something special, and believes that he’ll achieve a level beyond his wildest dreams. Nigel calls Travis a genius. Mary agrees. Mary tells Amy that she went to a different place tonight.

My predictions? I think this is pretty close. I’ll go with Jenna and Tucker. I think Nigel knows even if he saves Jenna this week, she won’t make the finale, and she definitely can’t win. She’s consistently in the bottom. And Tucker has been in the bottom far more than Fik-Shun has. I think Tucker and Fik-Shun is really a flip of a coin at this point. I wouldn’t be surprised if they saved Tucker.
Going Home Tonight: Tucker and Jenna. Nigel says Jenna did the best routine of her life tonight. I think those two knew the writing was on the wall.
Join me next week! Top 6 perform, 2 go home, and America will decide who it is.
