Don't forget the Heaven lying at your feet

LEARN TO BE STILL

what you've been waiting for, i know!


I found a bunch of videos online and watched SYTYCD episodes over, and over again. I am ready to post about my favorites. Seriously, there is nothing else on tv even worth watching this summer. Do you feel the same?

http://www.fox.com/dance/ (In case you want more info on the dancers.)


So here's the link for you to see the top 10; I will be talking about them in this post. The thing I very much don't like about the web site though is they don't post videos of the performances. I had to find them anywhere else I could. I'm sure there are copywrite laws and stuff, but come on-you have to see them. Good luck finding them. Here's the run down...
  • Katee and Joshua: solid couple, dedicated to any and every routine. My favorites have been: the Bollywood (Indian culture) they did last week, the Hip Hop to "No Air", the Contemporary by Mia Michaels, and the Broadway by Tice Diorio. I think that includes one from them every week. I wasn't sure I'd LOVE them at first. But I do know!
  • Jessica and Will: really good together I think, Jessica gets a lot of flack-and complimented and the same time. It's a dancing contradiction. I loved the Lyrical by Mandy Moore to "Alone", and the Contemporary they did last week by Tice Diorio.
  • Kherington and Twitch: they usually do well. The one that stands out the most was a Contemporary by Mia Michaels. And last week they were in the bottom 3 couples and had to perform solos to "dance for your life". TWITCH was so cool! He's a popper/breaker I guess is how you classify him and he did this symphony conductor thing. http://www.redlasso.com/ClipPlayer.aspx?id=7fe5097e-c761-4821-a4f7-84e89c797772 I think that link will take you to his video. ENJOY!
  • Chelsie and Mark: last but not least. One of the very first shows they did a Contemporary by Mia Michaels called "Tim Burton's wedding"-very good. But my favorite was a Hip Hop to "Bleeding Love" two weeks ago.

I know-that's only 4 couples..."top 10" would be a total of 5 couples. I just can't quite give out any lovin' for Courtney and Gev-they are good, I just don't love, love them. I guess they have been consistent...but nothing outstanding yet.

I'm all ready for tomorrow night's show. I think this is the week they start drawing names out of a hat for partners as well as the dances. Mixes things up a bit. And I have been seeing rumors that Jessica has broken ribs or something and is being replaced by the last girl voted off-Comfort. She's a breaker- "b girl", and I don't love her either. Her lack of formal training really showed last week and I was ok with her departure. So I don't know what's going to happen there. I hope Jessica is ok! I'm guessing Comfort will be back just to fill the void-and they will eliminate one boy this week. I think that's only fair.

Enough already, I know you are thinking it...you might not even be reading anymore but I have to share what I love here and right now this is it. Gives me an outlet too so I've enjoyed my little break from chores to blog a bit. Later!

ahhhh I love this show. I just sent you an email about it (and about your comment on my blog). It was hilarious b/c last night Alf had meetings at church and he said, "DOn't watch So you think you can dance without me...." I was totally c racking up. he's hooked! and it wasn't even on last night, but he was worried he'd miss it!
