So You Think You Can Dance Week 8

1 Week til the finale!! So glad I don't have wait long for Season 6 to start. I am really hoping to go see the Tour at Verizon Wireless Arena on Sept 22nd but I do not know if budget will allow. I am praying that it will.

Top 6

4. Jeanine
5. Kayla
6. Melissa

Top 4:    Brandon, Evan Jeanine  Kayla.     I have mixed reviews about tonight's results.  I am super happy that Brandon and Kayla made it but I feel that  Melissa and Ade got really shafted.  Jeanine has not really been a favorite of mine through out this season.. Kayla was never really in my top either to be honest.  Brandon blew me away  with every dance he did this season whether it was in couples or solos.  Melissa was amazing and  I was so sad to see her go home tonight. Her and Ade were my favorite couple all season long  my favorite dances from them being the Romeo and Juliet piece  and the Breast Cancer piece.  I feel that Ade really should have been in the  finale instead of Evan..  while both were really good I feel Ade was the stronger dancer of the two.   Out of the guys Brandon Evan and Ade were always in my top so  it was really hard to decide which one to vote for last night. The girls were easier because I actually really wanted  Jeanine to go home  because I thought Janette  did a lot better than her.

Genres

Melissa and Evan  Broadway and Quick Step

The  quick step allowed Melissa and Evan to break out of their comfort zones but to be honest it was not their best dance.  The  Broadway  number like previous Broadway numbers  was fun energetic and dynamic. Melissa broke out of  her comfort zone which is more classical. Evan was in his element.  Ratings 10/8  Total Score 18

Jeanine and  Ade  Samba and  Hip Hop

Samba I felt was  a  week point for Jeanine and Ade.  They could have  danced a lot better.  Of course most  Latin  numbers that have been done in previous weeks   were not my favorites.. it could just  be something about that genre.   Hip Hop I feel has been Jeanine's strong suit all season and the fact that she is so strong in that allowed Ade to break out of his comfort zone which like Melissa is more contemporary/classical.  Ratings  5/6  Total Score 11

Kayla and Brandon    Contemporary/Disco

All I have to say  is that they were dynamic and fluid in both  pieces. They were very well danced.  I think that Brandon has a good chance of making it into the finale. For the girls it's a toss up between Kayla and Melissa.
