SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE – Top 16 Review

Another amazing night of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Did I mention how much I love this show?!

Quick thoughts:

  • My favorite: Sara & Jesus, Sabra & Dominic, and Jaimie & Hok.
  • My least favorite: Danny & Anya, and Lauren & Neil
  • RECAP: (Videos coming up as soon as I can) Update: The videos are up :-)

    SARA VON GILLEM & JESUS SOLARIOKrump

    Choreography: Lil C
    Music: “It’s Okay (One Blood)” by The Game feat. Junior Reid get it on The Game - It's Okay (One Blood) - Single - It's Okay (One Blood)
    Thoughts: This was AWESOME!!! Not as extreme as real krumping is (I mean did you see the documentary “Rize”, now that’s krumping), but damn those two are good. Another week of being one of my favorite couples. (BTW how much do I love this song?!) Rating: 5/5

    SHAUNA NOLAND & CEDRIC GARDINERContemporary

    Choreography: Mia Michaels
    Music: “I Thought We Had” by The Family Stand get it on The Family Stand - Super Sol Nova, Vol. 1 - I Thought We Had
    Thoughts: Mia Michaels is a freakin’ genious!!! This routine was absolutely AMAZING. I mean last week I finally realized how good Shauna is, but with this week she proved herself even more. And Cedric, man, that guy is so talented. What a great couple together. They better not be in the bottom three tomorrow. I know the judges said they would be in the bottom three, but I really think they proved themselves worthy of another week tonight. Rating: 4/5

    LACEY SCHWIMMER & KAMERON BINKQuickstep

    Choreography: Tony Meredith
    Music: “Big And Bad” by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy get it on Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - This Beautiful Life - Big and Bad
    Thoughts: They are still one of my favorite couple. Although I was not impressed by the dance, I thought they had a great chemistry and it looked pretty fun. Rating: 3/5

    DANNY TIDWELL & ANYA GARNISHip Hop

    Choreography: Dan Karaty
    Music: “Oh Timbaland” by Timbaland get it on Timbaland - Shock Value - Oh Timbaland
    Thoughts: Let me start by saying that the choreography was really good, and Danny was really good too. But seriously, homegirl (Anya) got no flava. So far the only girl that was good with hip hop (and that’s excluding Sarah) is Jaimie. Rating: 2/5

    SABRA JOHNSON & DOMINIC SANDOVALRumba

    Choreography: Jean-Marc Genereux
    Music: “Stickwitu” by Pussycat Dolls get it on The Pussycat Dolls - PCD - Stickwitu
    Thoughts: OMG was that really Dominic and Sabra dancing? Can I take back anything bad I ever said about Dominic? I am so glad the judges decided to keep him. I LOVE him, and Sabra. I didn’t use to like this couple but they are moving up and up on my list. It feels like every week their relationship grows stronger and it definitely shows. Rating: 5/5

    LAUREN GOTTLEIB & NEIL HASKELLTango

    Choreography: Jean-Marc Genereux
    Music: “Tanguera” by Sexteto Mayor
    Thoughts: Question: Isn’t Tango supposed to be a serious dance? Then, why was Lauren smiling at some points throughout the dance? This just didn’t work for me. Not hot and sexy enough. I guess I am just not a fan of Lauren and Neil. Rating: 2/5

    JAIMIE GOODWIN & HOK KONISHIJazz

    Choreography: Wade Robson
    Music: “The Chairman’s Waltz” from Memoirs of a Geisha (Soundtrack) get it on John Williams - Memoirs of a Geisha - The Chairman's Waltz
    Thoughts: Where does Wade Robson get his inspiration? I have never seen anything like this before. How did Jaimie get her arms to move like that? It’s amazing. We all know they already were one of my favorites, that just confirms it. Nigel said it best tonight. Rating: 5/5

    JESSI PERALTA MELANIE & PASHA PKOVALEVCha Cha

    Choreography: Tony Meredith
    Music: “Let’s Get Loud” by Jennifer Lopez get it on Jennifer Lopez - J. Lo - Let's Get Loud
    Thoughts: So no Jessie this week? Pasha did really good by “himself”. But, I don’t know, it was weird… No Comments… Rating: 4/5

      Can you please tell me what the song is that Lauren & Neil did their hip hop routine to last week (June 21) ? I missed the title. Thanks.

    • http://daemonstv.com Daemon’s TV

      It’s “The Way I Are” by Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson & D.Q.E. :-)

    • rocket

      What was the name of the Jazz song Lauren and Neil danced to tonight on so you think you can dance?

    • http://daemonstv.com Daemon’s TV

      I haven’t seen “So You Think You Can Dance” Top 14 yet (that’s one of the downsides from living on the West Coast), but from what I read, Lauren and Neil danced their Jazz routine on “Night Of The Dancing Flame” by Roisin Murphy.

      Also coming is a review of the Top 14 on “So You Think You Can” Dance, so stay tuned :-)

      Hi Thanh,

      Which group performance are you talking about? From last year or this year? And how many dancers were left at that point?
