So You Think You Can Dance/ Glee Weekly Update

So You Think You Can Dance and Glee Weekly Update

Wednesday Dec 9th

I will talk about Glee first and then move effortlessly into talking about SYTYCD

I LOVED THE FINALE while a tad predictable because of build up from previous episodes it was AMAZING!

Mercedes's audition for the ballad was amazing. I felt bad for her when she was seeing the other group at sectionals singing it. She would of nailed it.
How diid the other Gleeks expect Rachel not to find out.. they were kind of dumb to think she would't figure it out and tell Finn. I felt REALLY bad for him but loved how he came through for everyone at the end despite how angry he was at Quinn and Puck.
Will and Emma!! YES!! I was dead on about them getting together.
Don't Rain on My Parade- BEST MUSICAL # of the whole show. I LOVE LEA MICHELE!
I love how Pricinpal Figgins totally bitched out Sue about leaking the set list. She definitley got what she had coming to her Glee Club is victorious and can't be brought down. I loved how Emma went up to the the teachers from the other two schools and told it like it was about how they cheated and how it doesn't reflect very good on them as teachers. That is so true! Way to go Emma!




and to add: Glee has been nominated for 4 Golden Globe Awards!! 2 for best musical drama 1 for best Actor Matthew Morrison (Mr. Schuester) an 1 for Best Actress Jane Lynch ( Sue Sylvester)

Top 5 Least Favorite Songs from Season 1 of Glee

1. Hair and Crazy in Love Mashup I think this song did a total injustice to the title song from HAIR which is a really good showtune. It was a bas idea on the part of the producers of the show to combine it with Crazy In Love. Beyonce and Broadway showtunes do not mix. I was glad that song was not on the CD. I would have instantly skipped over it if it was.

2. Don't Make Me Over

3. (You're) Having MY Baby This song was just horrendous to listen to, I just skip over it on the cd.

4. Crush

5. Gold Digger
NOW for SYTYCD!!


Top 6 Pairings and Genres




Couples:Jakob & Mollee – Broadway (Joey Dowling), Viennese Waltz (Jason Gilkison)
The Viennese Waltz is not one of my favorite styles of dance but you have to admit it is beautiful. Jakob and Mollee had beautiful chemistry in this dance and wonderful lines. For the Broadway routine they danced to one of my favorite songs Easy Street from Annie. They did fabulous with capturing the emotions of the chracters.




Legacy & Ellenore – Contemporary (Travis Wall), Hip Hop (Nappy Tabs)
Very interesting concept behind the contemporary. Quite an intense number. Not sure it was one of my favorite performances of the season but still worth watching. The hip hop # was average at best and I didn't understand the story behind it. They had amazing chemistry. :) I love Nappy Tabs.




Ryan & Kathryn - Disco, Cha-Cha
The disco was fun and entertaining to watch. It doesn't seem like Ryan really danced a lot and was very stiff. That could bring down the partnership. On a scale of 1-10 the ChaCha rates a 5.5 overall in terms of sexiness and sasiness. It was good otherwise. Hopefully both of these performances will keep Kathryn OUT of the bottom 2.




Russell & Ashleigh – Hip Hop (Shane Sparks),Bollywood




Ashleigh was out due to an injured shoulder so Russell had to dance with the chreographer. This is not the first time Russell has been in this situation this season. This could bring him down this week which is a concern. Russell was good in the hiphop routine .

RESULTS

Top 4: Ashleigh Jakob Kathryn Russell

Bottom 4: (bolded- went home) Ellenore Legacy Mollee Ryan

Why do I have a feeling the fox.com message boards are going to be full with a lot of upset postings about tonight's results show? I am right along with them,I'm afraid. The voting on this show is most certainly rigged. Legacy was SO much better than Ryan last night and it is definitely not fair that Ashleigh got in to the finale when she didn't even DANCE last night... she got in purely because of SYMPATHY votes. She had very few routines that stood out to me this season and her solos were mediocre. In comparison, Mollee who was never my favorite from the beginning of the season has grown on me and has grown into an incredibly versatile dancer. She will be missed in finale.

This season has been full of shortcomings and I am left unsure if I will continue to watch next season.

Negative things about this season

• Mia Michaels not being a choreographer or judge
• Adam Shankman being a permanent judge- I have lots of love for Adam but I also liked hearing differnt view points from other people each week and it gets boring having commentary by the same people each week.
• I found that there were very few dances that were memorable this season. Out of all the dances I would only say about 5 or 6 were memorable as opposed to last season where there tons more routines that stood out. Those listed in my favorite dances list below are the ones that truly stood out and were the ones that I'll look back on and remember
• The fact that this season was so soon after the summer season.
• The fact that Nigel was so incredibly rude and degrading to Nathan. See my post from November 27th.

All the waltzes I have seen on this show have been absolutely gorgeous so it's really hard to comapre one dance to the other. A lot of hip hop performances have really stood out to me too a majority of them being from last season though there have been a few of them that have stood out to me this season.
