Nappytabs WTF? Do that more.
And Alex. Hell to the yeah.
which crack you were referring to.
Hee. I'm sure the viewers were hoping for some crack! But I was thinking more of the stuff that the wardrobe department must be smoking.
okay I'm at the end of SYTYCD finally!
Let me be real for a sec:
Twitch, you are invited over for coffee (and pie!) too.
Alex, you ain't gonna tell me that you haven't been at the clubs a time or two. Alex pulled that OUT. I was so shocked. You go ahead. Man, I hope he wins this thing.
Not that anyone cares, but the cooking wine is 15% alcohol. So, basically, wine.
Adechike and Lauren/Dave Scott/Hip Hop/Hot 'n Fun - I have to cut Adechike some slack because his idol is Desmond Richardson and he's the truth. And lo and behold, the spirit of Desmond was with him tonight 'cause that's the best he's ever danced. Cute routine; intricate a d fun. Adechike showed personality and spark for the first time ever. He hit hard when he needed to, smoothed it out as appropriate. He made me not have to watch Lauren, so big props to that. Good job.
Hah, brenda! I thought so.
Well, I'm a little bit sad but I guess shock really isn't something JP does well. You know what I thought of after the fact: the original pornos - those ancient Greek decorated pottery with the v. salacious images - which are comically drawn in that classical Greek style. Kind of like Dudley Do-Right depicted doing really unexpected things. They have images of auto-fellatio, don't they?
Ashley and Ade/Dee Casperey/Contemporary/Cosmic Love - Ugh. Enough with the contemporary for this girl. However, for a second, I thought they announced the choreographer as Diddy and had that been the case, this would've automatically been my favorite SYTYCD routine of all time. Alas, it wasn't Diddy. Still, good routine. A little competition 101 hair flingy for me, but I thought it was danced beautifully. There were a couple of holds where Ashlay had her legs held straight out in front of her or was on her belly with arched back that were crazy difficult and demanded great strength and control which she delivered. And the ending was gorgeous. She still doesn't really connect for me, but I can't deny she has a great quality of movement.
Billy/Solo/Something Bigger, Something Better - Incredible. Ridiculous. Extension. Control. Passion. Abandon. Everything.
I loved Jose beyond reason. He wasn't a great dancer, but he was an incredibly strong partner. He was there for her every. second. I think that doing the yoga gives him a strong core and that's really helping him here.
The Twitch Alex routing was MON-EE. Damn! I loved the concept and the execution. But, I'd seen you tube videos of alex fooling around in different dances with his friends, so I'm not surprised that he can do hip hop. I think he's going to take it all.
Robert and Courtney/Sonya/Jazz/XXXO - Sonya has such a hard on for this kid. She does like 'em tall, dark and ripped. I was really impressed in that piece by Courtney. She tore it up. Robert was just OK. I totally got what Mia and Shankdaddy were saying. He dances very light. He reminds me of lots of competition kids, lots of flash and tricky dazzle, but there's not a lot of heft to it. The plié example, I thought, was kind of genius. Watch Robert's plié as opposed to Alex's plié. It's like Designer Imposters vs. Chanel No. 5.
Jose solo/Superbad - Eh. He's just not that great of a b-boy. When I think of the really awesome breakers they've had on the show . . . Dom and Gev and Legacy . . . Jose's nothing special compared to them.
