So You Think You Can Dance Bids Farewell
To Susie and Marquis
FOX Thursday 9/8c 6/19/08

So I missed you this week, but I did not miss So You Think You Can Dance! This was not my favorite week for some reason, but there were of course a couple of outstanding routines. Included in these were Joshua and Katee, again at the top of my list. Joshua Allen just continues to shine as one of the top male dancers this season on SYTYCD.

Matt D. and Kourtni L. also came back this week with a much improved performance showing why they are on the big stage. The worst of the week were Susie G. and Marquis C. with a bad Salsa dance. I thought it was funny when the choreographers said that Susie was not a Salsa dancer, but a latino street dancer. Salsa dancing is about much more than shaking your hips, if that was all that was needed Shakira would be the queen of all Salsa dancers (which she is not, of course). Susie cried at being described as nothing more than a street dancer, but the truth is a tough pill to swallow. The public obviously has a good grasp on what the dance should be, as they sent Susie and Marquis to the bottom 3 to dance for their lives in the solo format. This early on the judges had an easy call to send home Susie and Marquis, though Chris J. and Comfort F. had a tough time pulling off a Crump routine (Nigel Lythgoe said that his granny is more gansta than Chris J.).

Here are the videos for your viewing pleasure, enjoy!
