Well the finale is here...where did the time go? We have a fantastic final four and tonight was a fight for what they all want...here we go one last time.
Marko/Melanie-They started off with a fun and fast disco number. It was good but the lifts were a little shaky and there were a few moments where I thought he was going to drop her...not their best routine.
Sasha/Mark-They danced a contemporary routine that was full of determination and intent. Sasha danced forcefully and really laid it all out there, she's not playing games tonight.
Tadd/Joshua-They danced a Lil' C hip hop routine that was very hard-hitting. Even though Tadd could work on his facial expressions a little more I still think that I would say that he out-danced Joshua.
Melanie/Robert-They danced a beautiful contemporary routine that gave me chills. It really told a story and reminded everyone why they fell in love with Melanie from the very beginning.
Sasha/Marko-They danced a broadway routine that was a lot of fun and let each of them show a character (which they did rather well).
Sasha/Tadd-They danced a Mark Ballas Cha-Cha routine that for me was one of the worst of the night! I really can't find anything positive about this; there was no connection to speak of and there was very little technique (and what was there wasn't very good). Any Sasha or Tadd fans might need to be a little worried because of this one!
Marko/Lauren-They danced a beautiful contemporary routine that really told a story. They connected with both the audience and each other while at the same time bringing the audience into their world as they danced...spectacular!
Tadd/Melanie-They danced a jazz-esque routine that was amazing! Their characters were spot on from before they even began to dance and it was just so much fun to watch. This was definitely a redemption piece for Tadd!
Melanie/Sasha-They danced an incredible, emotion-filled contemporary number that had amazing musicality to it. It evoked feelings of isolation and loneliness and pulled at the heartstrings of everyone that watched.
Marko/Tadd-They closed the show with a stepping number that was painful to watch. The timing was off, there was no synchronicity, and didn't do either of them any type of justice.
So there you have it....the finale. Who is going to take it? My guess is the same as it has been all season...Melanie!! Make sure you check back tomorrow for all the results/reactions!
RESULTS
Winner-Melanie
2nd-Sasha
3rd-Marko
4th-Tadd

SYTYCD Top 6
We are to the Top 6 and next week is the finale...can you believe it?? I know I was gone last week (as was my blog) but I had a date with a man named Josh Groban...you may have heard of him (and if you haven't shame on you). However, I am back and so is my blog so without further ado...on with the show!
Melanie & Twitch-They did a NappyTabs routine that was very hard-hitting. There was complete commitment to the movements and it was nice to see Melanie sink her teeth into a piece that is a little more gritty and rough.
Sasha & Kent-They danced an absolutely beautiful contemporary number. It was so emotional and told such a beautiful story...and the use of that wall was breathtaking!
Marko & Janette-They danced a paso doble that overall went very well. Marko lost his footing a couple times but never let it detract from the rest of the routine. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my favorite.
Tadd & Ellenore- They danced a Sonya Tayeh routine involving a chandelier and I have to say that it wasn't one of the better ones she has choreographed. I didn't feel the connection between the dancers and the audience which left me feeling like something was missing. The technique however was great and showed just how fearless these dancers have to be.
Ricky & Jamie-They danced a contemporary routine that was very free flowing. Ricky once again had the problem of dancing too high; he really needs to feel the movement through his entire body. He's great technically but the fact that he doesn't really get into the movement completely takes away from the magic a little.
Caitlynn & Pasha-They danced a very hot samba! They had such amazing chemistry together and I was so impressed with how much Caitlynn's technique had improved! It was really a turning point for her in this competition...it just may be too little too late.
Sasha & Ricky-They danced the first ever wacking routine on SYTYCD and it was definitely a new experience. For me it was a little lackluster and just seemed to be missing something. Sasha was better then Ricky but neither of them were fantastic.
Melanie & Tadd-They danced an amazing broadway number choreographed by Tyce. I absolutely LOVED the use of the mirror in this piece and it really gave Melanie a chance to show that not only is she a phenomenal dancer but also a great actress. Tadd was completely overshadowed in this piece and I honestly don't really remember much of what he did...never a good sign.
Caitlynn & Marko-They closed out the night with a jazz routine and for me it was the best routine of the night! It had such true emotion and Caitlynn took another huge step towards where she needs to be heading. Everything about this piece was magical.
Who do you guys think is going home? It's going to be a tough one this week but 2 have to go!

SYTYCD Top 10
It is Wednesday once again and the All-Stars are here! Personally, I am very excited about having the All-Stars back because I think it just brings the dancing up so much more (plus I love seeing certain dancers again)! Who stepped up to the plate and who fell flat? Let's find out!
Marko-He danced an extremely fast samba with Chelsie Hightower. I had wondered whether he may lose some of his magic when he and Melanie were split up but he definitely did not! He had amazing footwork and was really moving those hips! He is continually showing just how versatile he is and I would not be surprised if he sticks around for a very long time.
Jordan-She danced a very difficult contemporary routine with Brandon. I always knew she was a great dancer but this was the first week where I really realized just how amazing she really is. Her technique was fantastic, she was strong and powerful, and she felt what she danced. I agree with Nigel, America needs to wake up and see just how great this girl is.
Tadd-He danced a super fast paced hip hop routine with Comfort. It's no secret that I really don't care for Comfort, lucky for me she was completely out-danced tonight! He had fantastic timing and really showed his stuff with all of that choreography. There was so much going on and he never missed a beat...incredibly impressive!
Mitchell-He danced a broadway number with Melody and in my opinion he fell way short. He completely over-performed the whole routine and took the "cheese factor" way too far. Broadway just does not seem to be his style and I think he's in trouble this week. (BTW-who noticed Neil Patrick Harris diss Tyce's choreography? Oh snap!)
Caitlynn-She danced a sensual Argentine Tango with Pasha which was easily one of my favorite routines of the night! Tonight was the night that she took her dancing and the competition to another level. Her technique was remarkable and I really felt the story that they were trying to convey. I have a feeling that this routine will stand the test of time and become one of the best of the season.
Sasha-She danced an amazing Christopher Scott hip hop routine with Twitch (one of my personal favs) and once again it was easily one of the best of the night! They had so much chemistry together and you could feel the fighting spirit all through the number. She had amazing musicality and technique, she definitely shined tonight!
Jess-He danced a contemporary routine with Kathryn and it was one of my favorites that he has done thus far. He dealt with all of those lifts like a champ and really was a great partner. I could feel the emotion that he was trying to convey and he helped make a relate-able routine even more relate-able.
Melanie-She danced a Viennese Waltz with Pasha that had a beautiful message to it. I don't think this routine had a single downfall; it had a constant flow of movement and emotion. It seemed effortless and Melanie danced weightlessly. I don't know how she does it each and every week but she is definitely the one to beat!
Ricky-He danced a fearful contemporary routine with Alison and I think this was one of the first weeks that we really saw Ricky shine. He matched Alison move for move and was not out-danced like some of the other contestants tonight. He embraced his character instead of fighting it and allowed his movement to be powerful and raw. I was very impressed with him tonight!
Clarice-She danced an intricate Bollywood number with Robert (another fav of mine) and did it remarkably well. I don't think there was anything she could have done to perform better; she had high energy and hit all her marks and steps. I'm still just missing that connection with her...she danced fabulously but to me it felt disconnected. If other people feel the same way she could be in trouble.
What a night! I think the All-Stars definitely raised the bar and most of the dancers met them. It's going to be tough seeing some of these dancers in the bottom 4 tomorrow night...I have a feeling we may be in for a surprise!

SYTYCD Top 12
It is Wednesday once again and this week of SYTYCD is more important then ever because whoever makes it through this week gets to go on tour. It is also the first week where each couple has had two dances to perform...did they hold up under pressure? Let's find out!
Sasha & Alexander-Their first dance was a paso doble which was stronger then I expected it to be. It got a little sloppy at the very end but the rest of the dance was solid and full of fight. Their second number of the night was absolutely amazing! Even though she fell at the end of it she made it work for the number. It was hands down their best number of the competition and one of the best of the night.
Jordan & Tadd-They started off their night with a Travis Wall contemporary routine which was absolutely amazing (as usual). They had such great musicality and technique! It was such a strong routine and it really showed that both of these dancers are powerhouses! Their second dance of the night was a broadway number that paled in comparison to their first routine. It's not that it was bad, it just wasn't great. I didn't feel anything when I watched it, it was just a lot of good technique.
Ryan & Ricky-They danced a broadway routine which was less then stellar. I'm not sure whether it really lies with the choreographer or the dancers but it didn't sparkle. I felt like Ryan was better then Ricky in this routine; I felt like she embraced the character of it more and was much more mesmerizing then Ricky was. I honestly couldn't tell you what Ricky did because my eyes almost never went to him. They then danced a ridiculously fast cha cha number that was hot but could have been hotter. Ryan was a little sloppy while Ricky was super surprising by being very tight and strong. I think they could be in trouble this week.
Caitlynn & Mitchell-They danced a hip hop routine with a very serious and powerful message intended to be behind it. I felt like it fell short though; it wasn't as hard hitting at times as I felt it should have been and they weren't in unison as much as they should have been. They didn't move together which took away from the piece and lost some meaning in translation. However, they completely redeemed themselves with their second number! It was a Travis Wall jazz routine and it was AMAZING! There was so much intensity and fire to it...one of the best routines of the night!
Melanie & Marko-They started off with a very difficult tango routine by Louis van Amstel that they did very well. The final lift was absolutely breathtaking! There were a few shaky moments here and there but nothing big enough to take away from how impressive they were during this routine. They then danced a gorgeous contemporary routine that just took my breath away. It was so full of genuine emotion and feeling that I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Amazing routine, amazing dancers, amazing everything...I'm going to be sad to see these two split up.
Clarice & Jess-They had a lyrical hip-hop number to start the night off and it was a really great number. I felt like Christopher Scott choreographed a very relatable number and the dancers held up their end of the bargain. I did feel like Jess was better then Clarice in this particular number but they both were solid all the way through. They closed the show with a jive which was good but not the best I've seen. I felt like once again Jess was better than Clarice. Clarice had a few mis-steps throughout the routine and her flicks weren't as strong as Jess' were.
What a night of dance! It's going to be tough to see two people go home tomorrow and see the pairs split up but I am really excited to see who the all-stars are and see how high they can raise the level of dance like they did last year.

SYTYCD Top 14
I feel like I haven't blogged in forever! With The Voice being over and The Bachelorette being a rerun it's been a week since I've had a new post. I was super excited for this episode before it even began because I found out that Travis Wall was a guest judge last night! My love for Travis Wall knows no end and this was definitely no exception!
The night began with a number by the Top 7 boys re-enacting the 7 stages of grief. Had I not been given this explanation beforehand I probably wouldn't have known that is what is was about. The piece was good but it didn't wow me. The majority of my time was spent noticing how off Chris was....there were very few moments where he actually matched the other 6 guys. He was continuously about two beats behind which lessened the effect of the piece dramatically.
Melanie & Marko-What can I say about these two that I haven't said a hundred times before? They danced a jazz routine that was very passionate and commanding. Technically they are leaps and bounds above everybody (especially Melanie) and the amount of confidence they come with is astounding. I feel like I can safely say that these are the people to beat.
Sasha & Alexander-They danced a hip hop routine that was in my opinion very lacking in many areas. Alex really wasn't successful in the "swag" area....I'm sure he tried but it just didn't come across. There wasn't a connection anywhere to be found, whether it was between them, between them and the choreography, or them and the audience....it just wasn't there. Sasha did come across more then Alex did but this is one number that won't be receiving my votes.
Jordan & Tadd-They danced a magical and dreamy waltz that for me left something to be desired. Technically they were both very solid, although there were a few moments that seemed to be a little stop and go instead of continuously flowing. I didn't feel that the emotion they were trying to convey came through, it was pretty to watch but I didn't feel anything at the end of it.
Clarice & Jess-They danced an anger-filled contemporary routine which turned out to be one of my favorite routines of the night. It was a very emotional number but not in the usual sense where I end up tearing up at the end...it was a very true reflection of what that situation is like and that's anger. The emotions each of them conveyed was very honest, it wasn't forced and it wasn't fake. These two improve each and every week and might be ones to look out for as the competition progresses.
Ashley & Chris-They danced a salsa routine that was anything but hot. There was no chemistry between them and no chemistry between them and the audience. There were many moments where they seemed to hesitate instead of being confident in what they were doing. Technically they did the choreography (although Chris seriously needs to work on his hip action) but they just came up short. I would be shocked if they weren't in the bottom 3 tomorrow.
Ryan & Ricky-They danced a zombie inspired jazz routine that was absolutely amazing! This routine was so fun to watch and they brought an amazing amount of energy to it the entire way through. They were very much in character the whole time and the synchronicity of the movement was impeccable! If America knows what is good for them they will vote for these two and keep them safe tomorrow night!
Caitlynn & Mitchell-They danced a contemporary routine that was by far the best of the night and without a doubt my favorite. The beauty and emotion was so present in every move they made, even the small ones Caitlynn would make with her foot while in a hold. It gave me chills....it was amazing end of story.
The show closed with a Top 7 girls jazz routine that once again proved just how amazing the girls are this season. When you put their number against the one the guys did in the beginning of the show it is obvious that the guys need to either step it up or move out of the way.
Who do you think is in trouble this week? Let me know!

SYTYCD Top 16
It's Top 16 week and not only does each couple have a dance but they were split into two groups and have to perform a group number. Let's see if they were able to handle the load....
The show started off with a group number choreographed by Tyce DiOrio (LOVE) and it was very much about girl domination. It's no secret that the girls have been dominating the competition from the start and Tyce took full advantage of that...and made it into something great. It was a power packed number and a great way to kick off the show.
Sasha & Alexander-They did a contemporary routine that involved the use of a piano as a prop. First of all, the use of the piano was genius. I didn't feel as moved by the piece as I wanted to but the end was beautiful with the hands coming from within the piano.
Kaitlynn & Mitchell-They danced a samba and WOW!! That was incredible! It was so rhythmical and such great hip action from both of them! I was floored at how fantastic it was!
Miranda & Robert-They did a broadway number and really embodied their characters. Both of these dancers have shown an amazing amount of growth thus far and I'm really excited to see where they can go from here.
Melanie & Marko-They danced a NappyTabs lyrical jazz routine and I got chills watching it. They are each such amazing dancers and when you put them together it's just magic. It was hard when it needed to be hard and it was soft when it needed to be soft. Like Nigel said, they really are the couple to beat right now. That being said, I can't move on without talking about the kiss fest that went on during judging. What on Earth was that?? Nigel kissed Mary (yuck), Kristin kissed Lil C, and the Nigel attempted to kiss Lil C....they have completely lost it!
Ashley & Chris-They danced a jazz routine which was technically sound but felt disconnected when it came to the emotional aspect. It was sharp and tight but the connection just wasn't there and that made it a little boring for me to watch.
Clarice & Jess-They danced a gorgeous foxtrot! Everything about this dance was just beautiful! They were so elegant and graceful and even the small movements screamed loud. Brilliant!
Ryan & Ricky-They danced a heart wrenching, emotion filled contemporary routine that I think many of us can relate to. They not only let the emotion show but they let it flow through them. It was beautiful and mesmerizing and I'm so glad that these two were saved last week.
Jordan & Tadd-They also had a NappyTabs routine this week but they got hip hop. It was a very fun and playful routine and they did great with the characters of the piece. There was a time or two where they looked slightly out of sync but that could have been due to either the camera angle or the degree to which each did the movement. Very fun routine to watch!
The show closed with the 2nd group number and I think it was a great way to end the night. It was full of powerful dancing and a great story!
Voting this week is going to be hard because there are so many couples who did amazingly....will America get it right this time? We'll find out tomorrow night!

Kaitlynn & Mitchell-They danced a samba and WOW!! That was incredible! It was so rhythmical and such great hip action from both of them! I was floored at how fantastic it was!
Miranda & Robert-They did a broadway number and really embodied their characters. Both of these dancers have shown an amazing amount of growth thus far and I'm really excited to see where they can go from here.
Melanie & Marko-They danced a NappyTabs lyrical jazz routine and I got chills watching it. They are each such amazing dancers and when you put them together it's just magic. It was hard when it needed to be hard and it was soft when it needed to be soft. Like Nigel said, they really are the couple to beat right now. That being said, I can't move on without talking about the kiss fest that went on during judging. What on Earth was that?? Nigel kissed Mary (yuck), Kristin kissed Lil C, and the Nigel attempted to kiss Lil C....they have completely lost it!
Ashley & Chris-They danced a jazz routine which was technically sound but felt disconnected when it came to the emotional aspect. It was sharp and tight but the connection just wasn't there and that made it a little boring for me to watch.
Clarice & Jess-They danced a gorgeous foxtrot! Everything about this dance was just beautiful! They were so elegant and graceful and even the small movements screamed loud. Brilliant!
Ryan & Ricky-They danced a heart wrenching, emotion filled contemporary routine that I think many of us can relate to. They not only let the emotion show but they let it flow through them. It was beautiful and mesmerizing and I'm so glad that these two were saved last week.
Jordan & Tadd-They also had a NappyTabs routine this week but they got hip hop. It was a very fun and playful routine and they did great with the characters of the piece. There was a time or two where they looked slightly out of sync but that could have been due to either the camera angle or the degree to which each did the movement. Very fun routine to watch!
The show closed with the 2nd group number and I think it was a great way to end the night. It was full of powerful dancing and a great story!
Voting this week is going to be hard because there are so many couples who did amazingly....will America get it right this time? We'll find out tomorrow night!
