Mark Kanemura, Twitch Boss, Joshua Allen, Will Wingfield. The guys are SO STRONG this year.

Last night’s So You Think You Can Dance was very hit or miss. Nigel said there were 4 dances that he felt really took the night. If I had to guess which those were, they would be as follows:

1. Twitchington (Twitch Boss & Kherington Payne) - The Prison Break (and Kherington with her lens-less glasses!! My heart will break into tiny little pieces twice when the couples have to get new partners, once for them and once for the couple in #3.)

2. Gev Manoukian & Courtney Galiano - The Sexy Sexy Rumba! Half a dress really worked for this one!

3. Mark Kanemura & Chelsie Hightower - The Hip-Hop Work Addict Leaves his Girl dance. These two melt my souuuuuul. <3 Kanemura, you are the Johnny Depp of the dancefloor! (My heart will shatter twice that night!)

4. Joshua Allen & Katee Shean - Someone either has a very natural talent for all things Dance (Joshua) or has had more training than anyone cares to let on. This man is a POWERHOUSE and for being a popper, has nailed all three styles he’s danced so far, Hip-hop (duh), Broadway, and the Samba. And yes, yes, yes, Katee Shean, you are SEXY and don’t ever think otherwise. (BTW, Katee, love the new haircut!)

———————

I’m really seeing a strong trend here for the power couples (being 1,3, and 4 of the list above). I think there are certain partners that are bringing two really great dancers down, but who, in their own right, are great dancers themselves. These would be Jessica King (partner of Will Wingfield) and Chris Jarosz (partner of Comfort Fedoke) They are gorgeous dancers solo, but I think Chris needs to really come out of his shell and just break something and Jessica is simply being outshined by Will who is AMAZING. Then there are Matt Dorame and Kourtni Lind who I would much prefer to see do solos forever instead of dance together one more time. There’s just something not right about them dancing together (although last night’s dance was fun).

That leaves Chelsea Traille and Thayne Jasperson, who I’m just not sure about but enjoy watching Solo. Maybe they’ve just gotten stuck with some crap dances for what they can handle? All I know is they nailed the first week, but have fallen flat as a pancake the last 2 weeks.

My call as of Week 3 / Top 16 for the Top 10:

Guys: Mark Kanemura, Twitch Boss, Joshua Allen, Will Wingfield, Gev Manoukian
Girls: Chelsie Hightower, Kherington Payne, Katee Shean, Comfort Fedoke, Courtney Galiano
