Last Night's SYTYCD

It's official. I'm a SYTYCD addict. This show makes my day. Last night, each of the remaining four contestants performed twice. Below are my favorite dances from each contestant.
First and foremost, Lauren and Ade's jazz dance choreographed by Sean Cheeseman. I don't know much about Sean's choreography, but he's one of my favorite people because of his last name. Who wouldn't want to be named Cheeseman? About the dance... there's not much for me to say. I think I liked it partly because of the music, which makes me want to do a whole bunch of flips and somersaults and James Bond shoulder rolls, and partly because Lauren attacked the routine with such intense awesomeness.


Last night, Robert danced a Viennese waltz with Anya and a funky hip hop routine with Dominic by my absolute FAVORITE choreographers, NappyTabs. Napoleon and Tabitha explained the plot of this dance is that Robert and D-trix are clowns who were just informed that the circus where they work is firing them, or something like that. So now you have two sad, jobless clowns who decide to release their anger by dancing with a bunch of balloons. To quote the wise words of Tyce Diorio, this dance was "'...everything and a bag of chips.'"


AdeChike had a rough night, which started when he and All-Star Lauren tackled an African jazz routine, that although not horrible, certainly didn't capture my attention. Cheeky Chike's better dance was the contemporary dance performed with Kathryn. The judges tore him apart, saying that his energy wasn't there during this dance, but I didn't notice any flaws. It's of my sad opinion that AdeChike will be sent home tonight, no thanks to the judges' rude comments.
Scratch everything I just said. I rewatched that contemporary piece and my jaw dropped, because I could see what the judges said. So, against my previous opinion, here is AdeChike dancing African jazz with Lauren!

And, lastly, but not leastly, there is Kent. I have to say, I don't think Kent is in any danger of going home tonight, judging by the hundreds of teenage girls screaming in the audience whenever he finished a routine last night. Kent started with a disco number, choreographed by Doriana Sanchez, and even I have to admit, he failed. Epicly. The better dance was a tearjerker, created by Travis Wall, who is an extremely talented young choreographer. I can think of at least two other dances from this season that were his works, that pulled at my heart strings. (What exactly is a "heart string"? It sounds pretty gross.) This dance, performed with All-Star Neil, was about how Kent and Neil used to be friends, but then Neil stopped being there for his slightly shorter blonde counterpart, and stabbed him in the back. When Nigel Lythgoe, judge and executive producer of both SYTYCD and American Idol, asked Travis if someone had stabbed him in the back lately, and Travis nodded, I felt like I was going to lose it. Just to clarify, Kent and Neil are actually very good friends, but some smaller people in my house thought that Neil and Kent were actually archenemies or something like that.

And there you have it. My favorite four dances of the night. I'll try to psych myself up enough to write about the other two weeks that I haven't gotten to yet.
Gonna go hunting for real food.
