I had to laugh at how out of his comfort zone he was with Vogue Evolution.
I swore he wanted to say something like "Y'all are hot", but just couldn't do it.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Shane and Vogue Evolution were just too cute for words. You could tell that he was completely nonplussed and yet at the same time the dancer in him had to give it up because the crew was amazing. He had the best grin just then.
I really, really love Lil Mama and she was tons more eloquent than normal last night which made me kind of sad. She did manage to get a "strengf" in there and to tell one crew how much she enjoyed them when they "leant back like Ciara." And honestly, I think the girl must have been raised by a pack of drag queens. There's no way she should know that much about Balls. When she broke out the "10, 10, across the board/I step out, they all applaud"? I. Was. Dying. She's so fabulous.
But JC is my own particular favorite. Hearing him say "Ante up/Jack that fool" made my entire month. Pure love for that one.

SYTYCD people: What was your favorite routine this season?
eta: (or top 2 or 3 if just one is too hard to pick)
Mine would probably be the Calle Ocho, the addiction dance, and Brandon and Janette's thief dance.

SYTYCD: I guess I'd say Kupono & Kayla's addiction piece. But I don't think the season on the whole was as strong, which is weird because I think there were stronger individual dancers. I guess that says something about what this competition is, though. It's its own thing.

I liked the thief dance.

The addiction piece was great, as well as the thief piece, but I also liked Brandon and Janette's rock-n-roll vs. hiphop number, as well as their tango. And I am a big sap for the French music that Mia used for the butt dance, which was really well-performed, so I'll go with that as another fave of the season.

Yeah, we loved that music. Dave went right out and downloaded it.

The Thieves, the one Travis choreographed, the addiction dance.
Seeing last season's dancers doing the Emmy nominated ones reminded me how much more I enjoyed last season. This time the dancers were strong but the choreography was off, or something.

If you like that type of music, I really recommend the soundtrack for A Good Year, the rom-com from a few years back with Russell Crowe as the Brit exec turned French vitner. It's got everything from Nilsson and Piaf to a French version of "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"!

Yeah, I don't think we get nearly as many strong Emmy contenders as last year. Nor nearly as many good ballroom pieces out of the year.
My faves were the addiction dance, the butt dance, the thief dance and (even though I bitched it wasn't a paso doble) that final paso with Jeanine and Brandon. I couldn't keep my eyes off it and that's what matters in the long run for the dancers.
