Layla, I couldn’t agree more. His solo looked like an amateurish, disjointed strip tease to me. Even though I will most likely lose them all, I’m putting my points on him tonight. I just can’t put them on Twitch. Well, I can…..I won’t. ;) I’m so far down on the list, it doesn’t make any difference in the greater scheme of things anyway.
Generally speaking, it was a terrific show last night!
Mark and Cookie! Woo! Mark is SO versatile. He completely transformed himself from the romance of the waltz to the freakiness of the jazz. I hope he made the finale, because I feel like he earned it the hard way- with the least amount of support from the judges, and no free passes on messing up outside of his specialty or watered down choreography. *coughTwitchcough* And I much appreciate his solo. LOVE Sonya- best choreography since Wade Robson left, and best this season for me.
Josh was awesome in the paso- definitely redeemed himself for the overpraised disco last week.
I kind of want a Mark/Chelsie/Josh/Courtney final four, but that will never happen.
Wrong thread.
marks solo’s never ever change i feel i’ve seen the same thing the whole season… same with chelsie and her hip swivels lol but what do i know
i’d love joshua katee courtney and twitch in finals ( or chelsie instead of courtney happy with either)
Oh gosh Layla I have to disagree on Mark not having the it factor. Until last night I didnt catch on to him but after last night I just fell in love with him because of “it”. He has totally got “it” in my book now. I hope Joshua wins of course, he is madly talented and I just LOVE him, I want to keep all the guys too PLEASE!
I was so glad for Mark that he received the partner and the choreography he did last night to remind everyone of how they felt about him when he was a part of Hawtsie. I was just set on Joshua back then but I dont remember a whole lot of bad reviews on Mark until he was partnered with Comfort and Kherington
I’d actually say that Josh’s solos have been boring. It’s the same chest-popping and body wave thing that he does every week. Then he adds a split jump and a simple bboy pose. For me, Mark’s solos are a lot more diverse and interesting. JMHO.
Yes, Yes, and Yes. As much as I love Twitch, I’m not sure he deserves a place in the Final 4. His VW, his contemporaries, and even some of his hip hops have been pretty easy stuff. I would say his only difficult choreography was his Paso maybe (which he didn’t do too well in) and his hip hop with Comfort (which is the only dance I enjoyed him in this entire season). So I do believe that Josh and Mark earned a spot in the finals over him. Again just my 2 cents.
Okay, I’ve made up my mind. Josh/Katee/Mark/Courtney. For a variety of reasons. Josh FTW. (As if what I think matters) LOL.
I like your thinking Judy and that is who I want now for the top four. Twitch I love you I do but Mark blew me away last night, surprising me.
Judy,
I agree with your final four: Josh/Katee/Mark/Courtney. I was torn as to which two girls, between Katee and Chelsie, but I’ve decided on Katee, because I’d like to see Mark dance with her, since they haven’t yet. But, I much prefer Mark FTW, for two reasons: I think he a better, more versatile, and magical dancer; and he hasn’t had the support of the judges ever since they realized how popular he’d become, threatening their desired outcome.
However, I don’t kid myself to think that’s ever going to happen (Mark winning), and I think Josh is great.
I may be of an unpopular opinion, but I am tired of watching Twitch do hip hop/krump, Katee do contemporary/Broadway, and Chelsie do ballroom. Every week since the split, all three of those dancers have had a dance in or similar to their own style. I think at this stage of the game, they need to be a bit more challenged than they are.
Joshua, on the other hand, has only had hip-hop once, and it was the very first week. I think Joshua is an awesome dancer, but he has had more opportunities to show diversity than a lot of the other dancers. I kind of think he’s been given the variety he has because he’s the only one who can handle it.
As far as solos go, the only person’s I really enjoy is Courtney. I think she dances with such power, yet such elegance at the same time. I usually like Mark’s, too. I never have liked the ballroom dancers’ solos, but I can’t really fault them, either. I’m sure it’s hard to dance ballroom alone.
All that said, it’s not the dancers’ fault what styles they are given. It’s the quest for “America’s Favorite Dancer,” and my favorites are Mark and Chelsie. So, I spent an hour and a half voting for the two of them last night. I didn’t want to split my votes 3 ways, but if I was going to vote for a 3rd person, it would have been Courtney.
ETA: I HEART that screencap, MJ!
ETAA: How fortunate that “Time of My Life” is in 3/4 time so it could be used for a beautiful waltz. If that’s not fate, I don’t know what is.
I spent a little over an hour voting for Mark. I would have spent the whole two hours, but we don’t have a landline, so the calls aren’t free for me. Each call counts as a minute toward our limit. (Thank goodness for rollover minutes!) I wish they’d have a non-toll free number to call, since long distance calls are free after 9:00.
I have no idea how many calls I got in, but I’m guessing (hoping?) it was around 300. (That’s 5 hours of calls, in AT&T/Cingular cell minute-speak.)
I hope I need to call next week, too.
Thank god for MJ’s videos when I forget about the show and therefore forget about voting. *headdesk*
Anyway, WOW. I thought every freaking routine was just damn, damn, DAMN fantastic! I did think Twitch could’ve been better in that mambo, but otherwise I just effing loved everything. The Markney jazz (go Sonya!) and the Manatee paso doble were my favorites, however. HOT.
I think it’s almost inevitable that Courtney’s going to go tonight (sob), but it still seems to me like a toss-up between Mark and Twitch. I’ll be sad with either going, but I’d love to see Mark again next week…
kerfuffle - wait, calling the number for SYTYCD and Idol counts against minutes even though it’s after 9pm? I didn’t know that, then I again I mostly texted votes for Idol and didn’t vote much for SYTYCD.
Anyways, on topic. I thought last night’s show was great all around. I loved the move where Josh caught Katee in the middle of a leap. That was insane.
I think Twitch is going home for the guys. For the girls it’s a tough call. I think Chelsie will stay though. I’d be happy with any of them though and will be sad for whoever goes home.
stardust462,
Yes, according to AT&T, every “toll-free” call is charged like regular phone calls, with a minimum of one minute. If you make a connection (to hear “Thank you for voting, blah, blah, blah …”) and then hang up, it counts as a one-minute call. So if you get in six calls in a minute, that one minute will be charged as six minutes. I read somewhere that someone else said they checked and were told if you are connected for less than like 10 seconds, the call didn’t register at all. I don’t think that’s true though, because during “voting season” (AI & SYTYCD), my cell phone bills are pages longer than usual, listing each less-than-ten-second call separately. You might want to check with your provider (or maybe plans vary, too) though, to be sure.
Dialidol has Chelsie and Mark as the lowest busy signals. Hmmmm.
I know Judy, but I have zero confidence in them for SYTYCD. (Check previous weeks’ results.) The only time they said they were absolutely sure of who was going home, they said Comfort - she was in “red”. That was one of the weeks she didn’t go home.
Their AI results have been impeccable, though. I think it just boils down to the sheer volume of calls for AI vs. SYTYCD. It’s kind of hard to tell anything from busy signals when you’re really getting so few. It also matters, apparently, where you’re calling from. I got zero busy signals in over an hour of voting for Mark - though I did get a couple of “Network Busy” messages, whatever that means - while others here last night were reported difficulties getting through to vote for him.
I have to say, I LOVE Katee in her routines but I find her solos to be boring. I feel like all she does is run all over the stage with little dance involved. She and Chelsie seem to just do the same thing over and over again. But I enjoy Courtney’s solos, she’s always emotionally involved and moving (other than running). I’d rather see her stay than Chelsie. I LOVE Twitch’s solos. I think if he stays tonight it’ll be the only thing that saved him. Unfortunately I am going where there’s no TV and no internet, so I’ll have to find out Sunday night or Monday. :(
My top 4 of choice would be Josh/Twitch/Katee/Courtney (duh). Mark has definitely stepped it up lately though…..
OMFG, what an amazing show !! I, too, missed the airing of the show, Thank the good MJ for video, This was probably the best show I have seen in all the seasons. And, I have seen every show!!
I agree with most other posters, sadly, it’s time for Twitch to go. I am glad I got to know ya Twitch, you’re a helluva character, and a pretty good dancer, but the other two gents are simply in a different league. As far as the ladies, yeahhhh, I got nothin. No idea, havent a clue, in the dark, etc, etc. I hope to see Katee and Courtney, but I’d be OK with Katee and Chelsie.
Regardless, It’s gonna be a bittersweet night and I will be in chat to console and comiserate with the broken and downtrodden. And yeah, Adam is great , and WTF was Pauler doing sober, did they tape at 8 a.m. ?
About the Chelsie solos-yes she mostly does the same thing but she is a partner dancer so what else could she do? I understand that and that is probably what she is comfortable with but she has done a lot of dancing this season and maybe could incorporate some leaps into her solos. She is incredibly talented and it would be awesome if she threw in something unexpected.
