The Top Four are Revealed.

I have to say that I am not expecting any big surprises tonight, but right off the bat I get one from Tyce Diorio.

Group Performance

"Send in the Clowns" – Judy Collins (Tyce DiOrio) –
This was probably my favorite Tyce choreography ever! Gary asked me as we were watching "who did this" and I didn't have a clue, and usually you can kind of pick out the choreographer if you have seen enough of their work. I loved the box, the costuming and the movement was just beautiful. I wanted it to go on and on.
I was glad that they immediately sent Jeanine and Brandon to safety, but again this was no surprise.
I am so glad instead of listening to Lil'C, we got to watch old favorite dances. This was an unexpected treat.

Emmy Nominated Performances

Jessica & Will – "Silence" – (Tyce DiOrio) – I loved seeing Will dance again, and although I did prefer this the first time around, it was still a gorgeous piece.

Katee & Twitch – "Mercy" (Mia Michaels) This was one of my favorites last season, and even with the door refusing to stay shut, these two never broke character and made it highly entertaining. I am pretty sure it was taped though.

Chelsie & Joshua – "A Los Amigos" (Dmitry Chaplin) – This dance was as great as the first time they performed it, and was smoking hot. I wish I had the mad love for the current dancers that I did for these two.

Chelsie & Mark – "Bleeding Love" (Napoleon & Tabitha D'umo) –Was it me, or is something up with the suitcase? Otherwise, I was thrilled to get to watch this again. I can't hear that song without imagining my mother trying to learn to pop with my daughter. I am not dissing her, I sure can't do it, it just cracks me up that she wants to learn hip hop at 66.

Solos

Melissa – "I Put A Spell On You" - Nina Simone - Same solo, but maybe with a little better camera angles, as I enjoyed it a bit more than last night.

Ade – "18th Floor Balcony" - Blue October - Is it me, or does Ade sometime wing it?

Kayla – "You Found Me" - The Fray - Seemed less together than the night before, she didn't hit the big musical cue or something.

Evan - "The Lady Is a Tramp" - Sammy Davis, Jr. -It may have been the same number, but Evan had an even better performance of it tonight. His leaps were crazy high!

Guest Performances

JabbaWockeeZ - "Freak-A-Zoid" - Midnight Star – This was the moment I was most excited for because I love this crew. They were so synchronized and I love the weird formations they make. This was the highlight of the evening for me.

Sean Paul – "So Happy" - Yuck. What was up with the random shouting guy in the background? I had to resort to the pause, then fast forward option.

The Kick-Off
Goodbye Melissa and Ade! We can't wait to see you on tour! I will especially be looking forward to Tyce's piece on breast cancer and of course (in Gary's words from last season) "the potted earth".

I am hosting a finale gathering. Anyone who lives close enough that reads this blog is welcome. That includes you little dingo.
