I hate salsa danced to rock songs. Salsa is syncopated for a start, rock isn’t. It’s so wrong. Sigh. I was just thinking: are the women stronger this year than the men – and someone else mentioned it above. I liked Danny and Kat’s routine – maybe the best. I could really do without Murphy – she and Bonnie barely have an entire sentence between them.

Last year when Mary Murphy was here the show was underwhelming as well. She must think our dancers and/or choreographers suck.

Great recap!

OK, the girls…
Gianne was a big surprise, I didn’t expect her to get the moves but she did. Imagine how she’d be with another few weeks in that genre. Talia, wow, what amazing movement she has! I think Jason is really rooting for her too, which is making up for the poor partnering and lack of in-genre dances. I wanted Amy to do well tonight, I think she’ll struggle because it was the first routine in an overall underwhelming show. The Penny was a mess. The routine was really disjointed, not sure if it was the weird song arrangement or that neither dancer really extended each movement. Poor Pania, she really didn’t cope with a routine that required sexiness. And is this the first time burlesque has made it to a SYTYCD stage? And Kat’s trip on the tamale train was more of a pity trip. *sigh*

The guys…
They’re just not really doing it for me this year. Danny’s great but he just feels so not-quite-Rhys. I have to agree with the comments on Loredo, salsa is down and dirty and he seems too emotionally dark and brooding for it.

I agree with your entire post! lol. No original thought of my own. I think Penny and Charlie should be in the bottom three, that was one of the crappiest waltzes I have seen on this show. Technique was awwwful.

OMG Talia and Loredo were MAGNIFICENT. That was freaking amazing. No idea what the hell was with Mary’s criticism of Loredo (especially after not bothering to criticise the waltz AT ALL), but I think her tamale ticket to Talia was genuine. I actually thought the one to Kat was pretty forced.

Talia and Loredo better not be in the bottom three, and if they don’t have Contemporary or Lyrical I will be so pissed off next week I don’t think I’ll be able to watch. It is fucking ridiculous that Talia hasn’t had ANYTHING in her specialty yet. And Loredo is due for something Lyrical.
