For all the faults of this season, that was a pretty awesome finale
What is most shocking to me about this season is that my three favorites dances were all choreographed by Napoleon and Tabitha. That shit ain't right.
ETA: Actually, make that four.
Inorite?
Wow, there`s a lot to talk about from a results show! First of all, so happy to see Alex. Even on crutches, that boy is a wonder and I`m just glad to have him on my stage. I still feel like my whole season was robbed by is injury and I still blame the show (thus am also unamused by Nigel).
So congrats, Lauren. I thought it would be Kent for sure. But I voted for Lauren, much to my surprise. Just like my conversion on Kathryn the high talker, I guess first impressions can be decieving. She won me over, and apparently America too. More power to her. And Kent will be all right. The two of them are so hireable it`s ridiculous.
Now for the show, considering I bitched the whole season, there were a lot of good routines. There were definitely some I thought should have been in there that weren`t, including that prom piece. Oh, and I was just thinking, I wish I could see Alex & Twitch`s piece, and there comes Ellen! She held it down, too. There was stuff she didn`t do, and the extent of her movement was limited, but still!
Breaking it up since I`m phone posting. The UK winner was stellar. Our women (including Lauren, sorry) were not that good and committed. That`s how you do jumps and holds, ladies. Like you`re going to hit the floor. Like you have it all to give.
And I`m so glad to see Russell & Lil C together! They ground it out! So good. I love what they do. It makes my muscles contract. That`s what I wanted out of the routines all season. I wanted them to want it so hard. C`s movement is so phenomenal. His control and mastery of his body, but all set loose and wild and free. The contrast of his fluidity and hardness. I just love watching him.
Overall I have no complaints, other than insufficient Mark. But there never can be enough Mark, so.
. I still feel like my whole season was robbed by is injury and I still blame the show (thus am also unamused by Nigel).
See, this is my Vortex (see: discussion yesterday about TC). I cannot get over this and will not forgive.
LeN, I'm only hating on one contestant, you're hating on the whole show! :)
You know, I don't really hate SYTYCD, but your remark made me laugh.
I hate the judging and especially Nigel. The contestants have been decent this year - just not evaluated "fairly" by the judges.
I could still watch Russell all day long. Nice to have that confirmed.
wasn't he lovely? I almost don't want to say it, but I think he did better than Lil C.
I totally thought he out-danced Lil C! He's still got that eye-drawing charisma that just oozes out of him on stage.
