Hmm. I didn't dislike the number, but I wasn't wild about it. SYTYCD needs to stop doing Cabaret. It needs to be a lot grimier and grittier than the kids are going to get. And Will is very pretty, but Mark totally could've done a better Joel Grey. Eh. It'll do in a pinch.
ETA: Nice fake out. Mary needs to be taking notes. That's how it's done.
ETA: Oh, no. My pocket couple! You really can't fight the shirtless hotness. That means yet another week of Jessica (unless Comfort and Thayne somehow managed to leapfrog them - which would be a huge shocker). I do love how Nigel basically assured them that they wouldn't be going home tonight. He hates Matt.
Tice did that number and I actually hated it. Oh, and the camera work totally sucked!
Oh, and the camera work totally sucked!
This. All season long.
Tyce really needs to give up on his obssession with Cabaret. What is this, the third? fourth time?
Yay, Popper Dude! I love this guy. I hope this doesn't mean that he can never be on the show as a contestant now.
I think he was happy with dropping out when he did.
Kourtni and Matt: Both solos were really lovely. They are beautiful dancers.
Courtney and Gev: Fun solos. Courtney was shaky on her turns, but she was good. Gev's solo was great. Very well choreographed, not just a bunch of tricks. And the tricks that were there were well done.
Comfort and Thayne: Comfort is getting better at the solos. I think that was her best one yet. Matt is better than Thayne. And the Guy Smiley thing has got to stop.
Based on those solos, I'd send Thayne and Comfort home. Let's see if that will happen. I kinda doubt it.
ETA: And Nigel and his pants are overruled. Well, at least he got to get rid of Matt, which is bullshit. But Comfort and Thayne's days are numbered. I'd be shocked if they made it through next week.
I wish it had been Thane and Comfort instead.
They're supposed to dance there at the end, aren't they? I kind of love when they don't.
SYCTYD: I didn't realize that Napoleon and Tabitha used to be supervising choreographers on "America's Best Dance Crew." Did anyone here know that?
NappyTab were the early round judges in S1, the ones who decided who made it to the first televised battle (and I think the Nappy half was also an early round judge this season,maybe?). Small, incestuous world.
Ack! I was scared for Courtney and Gev there for a minute until it was made pretty clear they would make it through the night. It does mean they are vulnerable, though. I'm fine with Kourtni going home. Matt and Thayne were a bit interchangable to me- neither overly capable of showing much chemistry in the sexy dances and both carrying themselves too high, I guess. My knowledge of contemporary isn't good enough to find many differences between the two of them although Matt appeared to take things more seriously and I did find him more believeable.
I still think I must be missing something with Comfort. I found her solo tonight to be kind of boring.
