batting .500

last night was the results show for SYTYCD 5 where the top ten were revealed. at the start of the season i predicted who i thought would be part of the illustrious top ten. i ended up getting 5 out of 10. not the best but with little to go on for some of the dancers i think i can give myself a little pat on the back.

thus far there have been only a few stand out routines in my estimation. i think the dancers have "brought" it but the choreographers left it at the dance studio door.

Standout Routines:
Kayla & Kupono performed Mia Michaels' "Addiction" - it always helps when a song i adore is used for powerful choreography
Janine & Phillip performed Nappy Tabs "Mad" - first dance of the season and it was fabulous!
Ashley & Kupono performed Wade Robson's "Crash Test Dummies" - entirely inventive and entertaining
Kayla & Kupono performed Sonya Tayeh's "Vampire Stories" - the costuming and make up was fantastic but the dancing was even better, loved the almost violence of their movement
Janette & Brandon performed Dave Scott's "Rock Hip Hop Wars" - so much fun and loved the ending!

hoping for more excellent dancing once the pairs are split up. i've pretty much enjoyed all that melissa and ade have done especially their mandy moore jazz as well as evan and randi. really need the "star quality" to shine like nigel mentioned. i guess he does know what he's talking about.

Seeing that you are a fan of SYTYCD makes perfect sense from our earlier days. I will never forget the Footloose music video you recorded.
