So You Think You Can Dance 2009

Mary and Mia I expected to cry, but Nigel! I was shocked to see him so emotional over it. And I did shed a tear or two myself. :o
Ellen is so darn funny. I'm just glad she didn't keep saying the same thing over and over. She actually stopped with the jokes toward the end, which I thought was nice. I liked what she said to Evan when she disagreed with Nigel. :)

My two favorites were a couple last night! Woo Hoo!! I'm sad they got bad reviews on their first dance though. I'm talking about Jeanine and Brandon. :D

:love: Jeanine and Ade. The Breast Cancer piece had me in tears too as I'm a breast cancer survivor (and a former dancer). It's such an amazing art that you can tell a store and express emotions without words - that piece is being circulated around the Internet today via YouTube.

I thought the first part of last night's show SUCKED. I didn't really like any of the dances until it got to Kayla and Jason's broadway piece. After that, I pretty much enjoyed all of them. The emotional contemporary piece with Ade and Melissa was incredible! I cried through the entire dance, I love when art hits me like that.

I can't really pick a favorite at this point, but Jeanine really is wonderful, Kayla is just about the prettiest thing I've ever seen, and I love Melissa's maturity and lithe body, and Jeanette's fire. Hard decisions. I have a feeling Evan is going home, but I hope not. Although I don't know who I'd rather see go. :)

Ok, first thing...not impressed with Katie Holmes. Great voice, I thought, but disappointed that she lip-synched. And, unimpressed completely with her stage presence. Great organization, however, and her involvement in it is cool!

Anyway...the results really surprised me. I don't know what I was expecting for the girls, and I don't know that I would have felt any differently had anyone else gone home.

But, for the guys, I was shocked that Evan wasn't in the bottom two. He's got quite a fan base, apparently! I think he's wonderful, but I really was blown away that he wasn't even in the bottom two. I'm pretty sad to see Jason go.

I pretty much agree with everything you just said.

At this point I'm sad to see any of them go. They are ALL such wonderful dancers. But I am glad Brandon did not go home. I was sad to see Janette go. She has such a big personality.

I wasn't impressed with Katie either. In fact I wasn't even excited about seeing her. All I did through her performance was try to recognize the guys dancing with her. The only one I could remember his name was Joshua! I recognized other faces, but not their names.

I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the Wade Robson routine (in fact we watched it twice :p). And it was so nice to see all the past contestants back. Benji and Danyell!! Woo Hoo!! They were my favorites in season 2.

This is such a tough season because everyone is so talented. So there is no telling how it will end. I will be happy with whoever wins. :D

Yeah I was not impressed with Katie Holmes either. she didn't do much dancing and it was painfully obvious that she was lip synching. but all the men were great :D so I just watched them instead lol.

Yeah I figured it would have been Evan going home. I really do like Evan but I don't think he is as solid as the other guys. sad to see Jason go home.

but SERIOUSLY disappointed to see jeanette go home. she was my favorite. I thought she was the best dancer in the bunch male or female. She just had such power and such presence when she was on stage you just couldn't keep your eyes off of her.

But yeah at this stage of the game... no matter who goes home it is disappointing

I will have to say that I thought Nigel's accolades for Jeanette were nice, but overdone, considering he was basically saying that Kayla should have gone home instead. I just think there's a way to give kudos to one without going overboard like that. Especially because Kayla is still there, and I don't know, I think if I were the girls left, that would bother me. But, depending on their personalities, it could just be more motivation to kick some arse.

Well, I'm shocked! I can't believe Ade went home before Evan. I thought Evan had the worst night I've seen a single dancer have in two seasons. He just seemed tired or distracted or something. I adore him, but I really thought it was his turn to go. The boy has **quite** an impressive fan base!

Brandon is really showing up, though, he is remarkable. That solo was sick!

I LOVE JEANINE. She has become my very favorite, I love her look, her personality, her style, her expressions, everything. I'd love to see her win.

Kayla is fantastic, but I only really enjoy her when she's dancing. Not that she bothers me when she's not, but I just love Jeanine, dancing or not.

Those are my thoughts on the results and who's left!

I must completely agree with you, Kari. I was shocked to see Evan stay, even though I like him better than Ade. It would be MY perfect four if Janette were in Kayla's place. I will be happy if Jeanine or Brandon win. :D

I wonder if part of the reason Evan is still in the competition is all the criticism he's gotten from the judges have made people sympathize with him, and he's a little easier to identify with as someone you could meet and like because he's NOT perfect and gorgeous and incredible muscular - comes across as an ordinary guy ...

I would be happy with any one of them winning, they all have obvious dedication, and have worked tremendously hard to get there ...

I was so happy for Brandon when they spotlighted his mom when she finally could be there - did she EVER look like the picture of a proud mother, or what? :)

Oh man I am SO disappointed.

Evan is a great dancer but IMO he does NOT deserve to be in the finale. he has struggled all season long. I honestly fear he will win even though I do like him as a person.. .he is NOT THE BEST DANCER by FAR. he has a great personality but this isn't america's favorite personality. and that's what kind of annoys me about these kinds of shows. kind of why I like things like hell's kitchen where ultimately the BOSS makes the final choice.. not a bunch of votes from people who don't know the difference. I am not proclaiming to know dance at all really... I don't. But I DO know that evan is not the best dancer and Ade should have stayed. he was a MUCH stronger dancer :(

At this point... I don't know who should win and I'm not really sure I care too much anymore at this point :(

I'm not into this season as much as I was last season, not really sure why. But I do really like Evan. I don't know why...maybe because he's different. Ade is a great dancer but I kept forgetting about him. I am thinking that Brandon will win, he is certainly an incredible dancer. But it really could be anyone's game at this point...Jeanine is probably my favorite at this point, but I like all of them (although I would have preferred Janette in Kayla's place).

I think it seems to end up being a mixture of great dancing and great stage presence/personality. Ade is a brilliant dancer, but his personality is pretty understated. I liked him a lot, don't get me wrong, but Evan has a brighter, more expressive face and a seemingly bigger personality, even if he's not as good a dancer. I think he's a great dancer, just not as versatile as some others. I think he'll go far in his area of dance, though.

I would be okay with any of the 4 winning, but I think Jeanine and Brandon are my favorites.
