So You Think You Can Dance - The Top 18

June 19th, 2008 by Jess

Soooo…

My opinion of the dances last night is that most of them were pretty boring. Either the choreography wasn’t quite as powerful as I would have liked (krumping) or the dancers were weaker than I know they’re capable of (Thayne, you should have put some POWER into that KING role. You were not a child prince. You were a grand king!) . Of course, Thayne’s foofy (and boring for being so fancy) outfit didn’t help visually, especially when you compare it to the regal outfits Neil & Danny wore for the phenomenal Final 4 Prince number from last season (*drool*).

Despite an overall boring night, there were 3 couples’ dances that stood out to me. (I can’t wait to see more from these 3 couples and truly don’t want to see partner changes because of these 3 couples!!)

1. Mark Kanemura and Chelsie Hightower - Chelsea is just as cute as a button in the face with the body of a goddess. Mark, who is growing to quickly become a favorite (of mine, anyway!), really expressed what that role needed. He was powerful and passionate and it just worked so well. Stunning dance!

2. Joshua Allen and Katee Shean - What a great dance! I felt this was the only dance of the night that was any kind of fun. It was upbeat and considering you’re looking at a Popper and Contemporary dancer doing this fun Tyce D’orio Broadway routine, it was absolutely great (and got one heck of a reaction out of Nigel!).

3. Twitch Boss and Kherington Payne (fondly referred to as Twitchington). The dance was choreographed by Mark Jenoreaux and his wife and was very special. The Jenoreaux’s daughter lost all of her motor skills at 20 months of age but when she sees movement in the form of dance, it brightens her up, so they put together this piece for her. And Twitch (a popper) and Kherington (contemporary) danced the most beautiful dance, Twitch full of beauty and grace (Grace from a popper! :D), and Kherington, just stunning. She’s gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. I don’t know if I’ve seen a more beautiful face on this show in all 4 seasons.

I love it I love it I love it!
