So You Think You Can Dance "Top 10 Performance Show" 7/15/09 *spoilers*

[Kamakzie]

Tonight's guest judge is Debbie Allen.

Cat looks stunning as usual.

Top 5 girls perform Nakul Dev Makajan Bollywood routine. Very nice I enjoyed it very much. Lots of hard work for this routine.

Kayla and Evan - Viennese Waltz (Tony Meredith and Melanie LePatin) - Evan in some major lifts. Makes him look as tall as Kayla. I thought they did very well. I thought Evan did fairly well. HA! Kayla is barefoot and Evan has heels.

Brandon - 1-888-TEMPO-01 - A strong solo, he is a powerful dancer.

Janette and Ade - Hip Hop (Tabitha and Napoleon Dumo) - Wow I really enjoyed. Very nice routine by Napytabs.

Randi - 1-888-TEMPO-02 - I thought she did pretty nice on her solo.

Kūpono - 1-888-TEMPO-03 - Better solo than he did a couple weeks ago.

Jeanine and Jason - Contemporary (Travis Wall) - Very very good. The best one of the night so far. I think their former partners were holding them back. Mary with the hot tamale train in the vacuum of space!

Melissa - 1-888-TEMPO-04 - A pretty nice solo. Like seeing the ballet.

Evan - 1-888-TEMPO-05 - I liked it.

Kayla - 1-888-TEMPO-06 - A strong solo.

Randi and Kūpono - Paso Doble (Tony Meredith and Melanie LePatin) - Wow Randi looked really different, thats for sure. I thought they did pretty good. Couldn't tell if the beginning was a botch or not.

Ade - 1-888-TEMPO-07 - Wow that flip towards the end was amazing.

Jeanine - 1-888-TEMPO-08 - I liked her solo, she's becoming a favorite.

Jason - 1-888-TEMPO-09 - An okay solo.

Melissa and Brandon - Broadway (Tyce Diorio) - I enjoyed it quite a bit. Melissa looked cute in her flower child outfit.

Janette - 1-888-TEMPO-10 - Very sexy Mamacita.

Top 5 guys African routine (Jeffrey Page) - Very good, it wasn't as strong as the girls but it was very well done none the less.

Good episode.

We thought that Evan was outdanced by all the other guys in that african dance routine.

[coolpenguin]

I'm having a hard time getting into it this season. can't figure out if noone really pops out at me personality wise or what. there have been some good routines but nothing amazing ...yet. hopefully the top ten will change this.

Good episode.

We thought that Evan was outdanced by all the other guys in that african dance routine.

Yeah, he's just not cut out for that style of dance. That being said, it did look like he worked his butt off on it, trying his best to keep up. I also think he did a great job in the Viennese Waltz.

Travis' routine was outstanding. They should definitely invite him back.

The Paso Doble was not good, which pains me to say because I like Randi.

I liked Tyce's 'Hair' number, but I thought it was way more "contemporary" than "Broadway." I know Hair is a Broadway musical, but that's not the type of dance I expected to see for a Broadway routine.

[verdugan]

He did work hard, but it can't hide the fact that he's the weakest guy IMHO. That is not the same as saying he's the least popular though. When he danced to his strength he was really good as he did in his solo.

[verdugan]

Up to this point I thought Brandon was the best of the guys, but yesterday Ade was really good. Now, if he could just get rid of the hair pick, please!

[mwhip]

My picks to go home? Randi and Evan but it will probably be Jason.

[Kamakzie]

If you believe dialidol's validity, tonight's girl elimination will be a shocker. However its getting beyond the point where we have to lose some talent.

[realityboy]

I'm hoping Randi and Kupono go home tonight. Randi's the weakest girl left and even though Evan's the weakest guy, I doubt that he'll go home.

[That Don Guy]

For those of you interested in seeing the Emmy-nominated choreographed routines, I think all of them are online:

Bleeding Love, by Tabitha & Napoleon D'umo (danced by Chelsie Hightower & Mark Kanemura)

Mercy, by Mia Michaels (danced by Katee Shean & Twitch Boss)

Adam & Eve (Silence), by Tyce Diorio (danced by Jessica King & Will Wingfield)

A Los Amigos, by Dmitry Chaplin (also danced by Chelsea & Mark)

+1 But now it's not just a dance competition, it's mostly a popularity contest.

I think Randi's pretty likely, but I'd lean toward Kupono for the guy going home. Personally, I was pretty unimpressed with his solo, and the Paso Doble looked like a trainwreck to me.

I'd probably keep Evan for one more week, then send him home next week, along with Janette.

I liked Kupono's solo ok, but that Paso Doble was bad from the very start.

Possibly Janette next week.

I think Kayla will go. I know the judges love her but I don't get it. Plus I use the audience applause to figure out who will go. Kayla gets less than the other girls. Melissa is a close 2nd in lack of applause though

As for the guys, Evan gets huge applause, so he should be safe. Jason might be in trouble but Kupono should be gone based on last nights dance! That was painful to watch.

Love, love, loved Travis being back!

Dialidol's scores look completely out of whack....and not just because of who is at the bottom. The numbers seem very unrealistic.

[photoshopgrl]

Really people think Janette is leaving? I have a feeling that despite the judges constantly pimping Kayla, that Janette will be the last girl standing. I think it's up the in air on the guys though.

Out of those 4, that's one that I absolutely loved.

The dialidol numbers looked pretty meaningless to me. Almost as if they weren't getting any busy signals when trying to monitor. Get that for a few people, and it's just not possible for them to predict.
