Last night was the performance finale on So You Think You Can Dance. I’ve been totally into this season because of Melanie. Are you watching? Honest to god – from her first tryout until last night – nothing has been bad, not even close. Everyone else has had at least one brutal performance but not my girl.
Watch this one…and don’t you dare turn it on before she jumps, quite literally, across the entire stage and into his arms! NO WAY!
Confession? I am the WORST dancer in the planet. I’m like Elaine from Seinfeld except I’m aware that I suck. I think that’s why I love this show.
I’ve learned a few things too!
a. Contemporary dancers have flat feet, ballet dancers pointed feet and hiphoppers red shoes.
b. Male dancers have awesome abs. Same goes true for female dancers and asses.
c. Celebrity judges are ridiculous. Did Katie Holmes google ‘Cyd Charisse’ before she got there?
d. If you draw Bollywood, Disco or Latin Jazz – you’re screwed!
e. There is no category called ‘drunken shimmy ass slap’ – so I’m officially out of the running.
Are you watching? Is Melanie a shoe in or is the fact that Marco is dancing with a bullet lodged in his shoulder going to sway the sympathy vote???
**here’s me dancing at a wedding…yes I said dancing. My date is so horrified, he can’t even look at me!
Holy crap! What a leap! I have to admit, I almost didn’t watch it because I’m soooo not into these shows usually (I tried a few times but they just drag the suspense out and it bugs me). But I did. And I was impressed! The girls heard it and came running to watch. They watched it three times and then started linking to other dance numbers on YouTube. They love dance, especially Sophie.
tracey you’re right about the judges…but the canadian ones. they are BRUTAL!!! all they say is “love”….yup, watch it….”lovelovelovelove” over and over again. then the canadian host, yikes!
i don’t know if it’s her or the writers but the convoluted mess she spews to tell the contestants whether or not they’ve advanced confuses everyone, including the dancers! i’ve seen her actually have to say, “elaine, it’s you” after one of her “the dancer who will in second place, after the first one, who will not be going home this week or maybe the next one will maybe not be…” blahhhhhhhh
WAIT. I DANCE LIKE ELAINE.
I have decided that being a bad dancer is extremely liberating. I just GO FOR IT . BADLY.
I just watched the leap. HOLY. What a party trick
I haven’t been watching the show much at all, but I did catch that number, and holy amazeballs, that leap! The whole routine knocked the breath right out of me. (Because also, there was Neil, who is one of my all-time favourites…wowza.) LOVE!!
And I don’t watch, mostly because ohmygod hosts, can you just SHUT UP PLEASE??!
This is why we get along. Melanie has been my #1 pick from her first tryout when she talked about losing her dad. The she danced. Right into my fave-dancer spot.
She has not let me down and every single week I waited for her.
When she kissed Marko in week 1..or was it 2…? loved it.
And the leap (that you posted)…magic.
Was it just me or did Katie Holmes seem grossly out of place judging this comp?
“You were amazing” “It was great”
It was a major let down when she performed last year. Eva dances better than her…
So ya – Melanie is my girl. She better take it. She deserves it.
