SYTYCD 7 - June 23-24

I wish Billy or Robert had gotten that routine. I didn't really see the growth in Adechike's performance quality...I felt like Mia's evaluation was pretty much right on.

Careful, love. Ade is my mid-life crisis and Adechike is our love child. Okay, the math doesn't work, but it's fantasy

[Allen]

Seeing Alex dance with Lauren makes me wish that the contestants were paired with the same all-star all the way through the competition. Lauren looked like she was dancing that routine at a gentleman's club.

[Cyn]

Next up......Ashley of the Robot Voice, paired with Mark K. for Contemporary.

[Theatregirl1122]

It'll be interesting to see Travis's choreography on Mark.

[Garden Kitty]

Let me say again, I love Cat!

In the fluff piece, Alex says that he doesn't know much about Fosse's style, so he's going to do some homework and find clips of his dancing.

Nigel's first comment: "your dance background probably didn't give you much exposure to Fosse. When you're in that situation, you should go look at some clips"

Right after Nigel's stupid comment, Cat turns to Alex and says "you looked at clips, didn't you? what did you look at"

I thought the Kerri Russel rule was, if she didn't have long curly hair, the show sucked?

[Allskate]

Cat is wonderful. I wish she would replace Ryan Seacrest on American Idol.

[my little pony]

Ashley is the luckiest person ever

[slicekw]

no teknik question:

How is it even with a good toe-point, I don't see Ashley's lines *extend* like it does for some dancers?

[Cyn]

Oh gee, a contemporary piece about angsty love How original.

Wonderful by Annie Lennox

Some interesting lines and shapes in that, but it almost seemed too loaded with lifts and jumps.

Yeah, I like her the best. (along with Tom B. from Dancing with the Stars) She never makes the show about her while taking good care of the contestants.

[Theatregirl1122]

Can I do that dance with Mark? Can he be shirtless all the time?

I really liked that.


Nigel is mad a Travis for doing Contemporary instead of Jazz. Can't seem to critique Ashley because of it.

[my little pony]

Nigel needs to step away from the crack pipe

[Garden Kitty]

Ashleigh and Mark

Nigel snarking at Travis because the dance is more contemporary instead of jazz. Telling ashleigh she didn't show anything new, although he mentions again that it's more the choreo since he already knew she could do contemp

Nigel saying he hopes the audience realizes how good the women are since the men are so showy-good.

[Cyn]

Oooooohhhh.....Nigel calls Travis out for choreographing Contemp rather than Jazz (which is what it was supposed to be).

Nigel says he hasn't learned anything about Ashley. Not much else from him other than a lukewarm "good luck."

Mia: Loved the walk at the beginning. Says Ashley is one of her favorite girls. Needs to be aware of her transitions (is this skating? )

Adam: Needs to lose herself in the music. Lots of lifts that made that challenging.

[rjblue]

Ashley lots of cute girly photos and kiddie dance video.

Travis and Mark and Jazz.

More Ashley in love stuff.

Wonderful- Annie Lennox

Yikes. I watched Mark all through that. It was such a guy throwing the girl around kind of number where I want to see a big strong guy doing it (normally). With Mark it doesn't feel like tricks, he is just so intently radiating the emotion of the dance. If Adechike can only pick up a piece of what Mark can do...

Nigel says it wasn't Jazz. Mia says she is one of her favourite girls, but needs to keep dancing through the transitions. Adam agrees.

Mark in a white shirt.

Some interesting lines and shapes in that, but it almost seemed to loaded with lifts and jumps.

Is Cyn really Adam Shankman?

[Matryeshka]

The judges critiqued wunderkind Travis? *faints* *thud*

[Cyn]

Is Cyn really Adam Shankman?

[Theatregirl1122]

Billy doing Krump is already ridiculous and we've just seen a shot of him in costume. I do not have high hopes here. And I adore Billy.
