"We have trust issues." Mylar

100th is July 23rd. Should be good.

Well, that was unexpected. I can't believe Randi and Evan escaped B3. Evan's fan base must be out of this world. I was not torn up by either boot. Chbeeb should've gone weeks ago and while I liked Caitlin, she never really caught fire on the show. All three girls had great solos tonight, although Jeanine fell out of a couple of those turns and looked really nervous. And a boy finally served up an awesome solo. Ade was amaaazing. There was nothing about that solo that I didn't love. Jason was still too frantic for my taste, but shirtless helped. A lot.

It is so tight on Kelly Rowland right now. I was embarrassed for her. She needs to phone Bey's weave-ologist immediately and get that Barbie hair replaced with some fine Yaki. And she can ask for the number of Bey's vocal coach while she's at it, because she was just caterwauling there at the end. And what was up with no dance guest? I disapprove.

Just when I'm ready to completely write NappyTab off they remind me that they can actually choreograph when they stay away from the overly literal "smooth" hip hop. I loved that group dance. Janette and Brandon owned that center stage. Those two are fierceness personified.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There was no dance guest, was there? i knew I was missing something.

I'm glad we finally got to see Melissa's solo, they didn't actually show much of her in the auditions. That I saw, anyway, I did fast forward through a lot. More glad to have seen Ade, though.

Loved the group dance.

Janette and Brandon owned that center stage.

They really did stand out, didn't they? I was also surprised to see Melissa do as well as she did in the hip-hop style (the little I saw of her)--I can't wait to see what happens with her and her new partner if/when they get it for their dance.

Ade totally rocked that solo! He had the jumps, the flashy moves, the rhythm, and most important, the passion. He was dancing for his life, and you could feel it, but without the desperation that Jason exudes.

I think that, right now, they've got a pretty decent final ten dancers. I'm really looking forward to the mixup in couples--I want to see Jeanine pop out from behind Phillip's incompetent shadow, and I can't wait to see how Melissa and Janette spark with their new partners.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Are all the remaining girls the same height/taller than Evan?

I think they might all be taller.

That should be entertaining.

Especially in 3 inch heels. (I am as tall as Cat Deely, and I always giggle to watch her towering over the tiny dancers at 6'2" in her heels).

I just watched Ade's solo without sound (I am at work on a public desk) and it was pretty awesome without sound. Can;t wait to actually hear the music!

Because books.

I'm the only one who likes Evan and Randi, aren't I?

I also like Melissa and Brandon, though.

I like them, I just don't think they are up to the level of the others at this point.
