So You Think You Can Dance – Season 5 – Top 14 Results – VIDEO
Karla is eliminated.
Vitolio is eliminated – VIDEO
WOW. So Caitlin and Jason were safe! If not, I think the judges would have eliminated them. Did America rally behind them after the judges dissed their routine? If I had voted last night, I would have thrown them a few, for sure, because I did not hate that routine the way the judges did, and I have a feeling America felt the same.
At least Karla and Vitolio were eliminated on a high note–their quickstep was one on my favorites of the night. I also loved Karla’s solo. And I agree with the judges, Jeanine’s solo was beautiful, powerful–Kayla’s not so much. Vitolio was visibly moved speaking about the folks whose lives he touched. Aw–his partner Asuka in the audience looking sad.
Happy to see and hear the fantabulous most awesomeous Idol evah, Kelly Clarkson sing her latest single, “I Do Not Hook Up.” Yay Kelly.

AND KELLY CLARKSON IS IN THE HOUSE! She performs “I Do Not Hook Up” I Love Kelly! – VIDEO
Back from break, we start with the girls. It’s a unanimous decision. Nigel tells Jeanine that hers was the strongest solo of the evening–and brilliant. She is SAFE. Nigel tells Kayla she is a favorite, but her solo tonight was static, not dancing from the heart. He tells Karla she is a very good dancer, but she hasn’t captured the star quality she had a the beginning. She is eliminated.
Now for the boys. Again, it’s a unanimous decision for the boys. Nigel tells Phillip he is “absolutely unique” and superb at what he does. But tonight, he thought his solo was a little desperate. He has a lot of hard work ahead of him in the coming weeks to master the other genres. He is safe. Nigel tells Vitolio he has great presence on stage, but he doesn’t deliver anything at the end of the day. He tells Kupono his solo was weak, that he expects more, and that’s what he’ll be expecting next week. Vitolio is eliminated. Asuka is in the audience getting a little teary. Vitolio tears up as he talks about the letters he got from people telling him he changed their lives.
Safe:
- Randi and Evan
- Janette and Brandon
- Melissa and Ade
- Caitlin and Jason
Bottom 3
- Karla and Vitolio
- Kayla and Kupono
- Jeanine and Phillip

I’m starting to hope that Jeanine pulls a Kris Allen coming out of nowhere going from cannon fodder to champion. She’s gorgeous in every aspect of the word and so is her dancing.
They did fine. Definitely wasn’t their best performance ever, but it was definitely passable. The biggest problem is that the choreography didn’t suit either of them particularly well. But in a night of great performances, I didn’t think they stood out. Everyone was so good on Wednesday!
LOL yeah, me too about BFree. I liked the routine and thought it was an interesting concept, but it wasn’t my favorite, much like the Sonya piece.
About Caitlin – I liked her at the beginning… loved her audition. And liked both her and Jason a lot in the Bollywood piece. I think she started losing me with the hip hop. But I definitely agree that she’s a black hole of personality. I like her solos, but Jeanine’s solo last night was better than any solo any female has done so far this season, so if it’s about keeping good female contemporary dancers, Jeanine is better. But, I’d like to see both of them in their own style, since neither of them has had it yet. But I fully expect Jason and Caitlin to get, like, a Tyce Broadway and a Waltz next week, or something comparable. lol.
I read on Shane Sparks’ twitter today that he’s back in LA. I wonder if he’s choreographing a hip hop routine for next week’s show?
I’d really like to see Janette and Brandon tackle a West Coast Swing. I think they’d be able to nail it. I’d like to see Janette in a contemporary or jazz too. I have her as my overall winner because I think she’s pretty versatile. While she may not have the huge fanbase right now of, say, Evan, I think she’s versatile enough to handle just about any genre and will be strong down the stretch. I hope at least. Don’t let me down, loan processor chick!
Kayla is amazing. How the heck does she keep ending up in the bottom 3?
