Review: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE “Top 6 Perform”

I’m back with an all new SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE review. Only problem is Redlasso has sort of shut down their services so I don’t have any videos yet (I will put them as soon as I can find them). Update: I have added pretty much all the videos except one. Enjoy!

Tonight was the last performance night before the finale and so I think it’s safe to say that the pressure was on.

Let’s find out how everybody did:

I SO totally agree with your assessment of the dancers. But I am sure there are those who think that Chelsea and Mark should be in the final. But this is America’s favorite and anything can happen. I don’t think Katee and Joshua (i adore Josh!) have had a bad performance together or apart and for that reason – they belong in the finale. I just think Twitch is wonderful. After everything he went through last season he so deserves to be right where he is. Courtney and Chelsea…… While I must agree that Chelsea is the more polished dancer, they have never given Courtney credit for being absolutely fabulous in all all genres –regardless of her partners. And her solos have the most passion and technical difficulty (often even more than our beloved Katee . Then of course Chelsea has shown some not-so-nice personality moments in her video packages (with Josh, Thayne and Mark) and that is somewhat of a turn-off. Otherwise she is a fine dancer. I can’t wait to see the results….but it’s not over until it’s over. Love the pics!

I too would pick Joshua, Katee, Twitch, and Courtney as the final four and I agree with first comment. Joshua and Katee have consistently given great performances this season and practically the best performances this season.

I adore Twitch and everything he does. For him to be the least trained out of everyone that was in the top 20, yes he’s even less trained than Comfort, he still has done remarkable on the show and for him to be where he’s at I’m so proud of him. Twitch has always been a senitmental favorite of mine. I know people are going say Mark over Twitch, but I believe there both evenly matched and either one of them could be in the final four.

Courtney has been the underdog all season and she’s risen up to every challenge. Courtney actually stands out more than Chelsie. Chelsie is great and done everything right, but she never had that spark that other people had and that’s why I think Courtney beat out Chelsie to be in the final four.

That’s my thoughts on that, hopefully it will be Joshua, Twitch Courtney, and Katee in the final four with Joshua winning.

Courtney is amazing!!! Have you seen her on the NY Knicks City Dancers? She is so much better than the other dancers. See for yourself: http://msg.com/knickscitydancers/
