SYTYCD : Top 6 Perform 7/30/08

So You Think You Can Dance
is Down to the Final 6!
FOX Wednesday 9/8c 7/30/08

I don't know how in the world to pick the best on this show. It gets harder every season on SYTYCD. Each of these final 6 dancers are incredible in their own right. Tonight proved to be the best yet for the hit FOX show.

Lets break it down.

First up were Mark and Courtney G. with a Viennese Waltz. Finally we get to see a Viennese Waltz in all of its glory! This was actually a Waltz, not a Contemporary wanna-be. Mark finally proved to me he should be in this position. His lines and rise/falls were fantastic. Courtney, I don't like her with a partner, but love to watch her solo. Hmmmmmm....
Glowing reviews from the judges. Song:Time of My Life by David Cook

Chelsie H. was up next with her solo to The Pussy Cat Dolls When I Grow Up. Chelsea showed us a chili pepper Salsa of a solo. It was okay, but didn't really highlight what she is capable of.

Twitch treated us to a Hip Hop solo to The Midas Touch by Morning Star. As always entertainment at its finest, Twitch outfitted himself for the song with a golden 'grill', it was hilarious! But what was better was when Cat Deeley asked to put them on after the dance. "Spit and all," said Cat as she now sported the top 'grill' and the golden sunglasses. Then got a taste of something bad and about gagged!

Up next were Katee and Joshua, thank you magic hat for putting them together again! Dancing to Celine Dion's All By Myself, it was something to see. Though I don't agree with the judges that it was the best ever on SYTYCD, it was special.
The judges pointed out Paula Abdul and Gillian Lynne in the audience. Nigel Lythgoe got bullied into a standing ovation for the pair.

Twitch and Chelsie H. gave us a Mambo. Twitch had to wear his pants up high, he should do this more often! It was one of the better Latin dances this on Season 4 of SYTYCD. I knew Chelsie would hit it, but Twitch stayed down in his feet very well. The judges enjoyed Chelsie and gave Twitch some nice pointers.

Katee soloed to Can't Stop Thinking About You by Maroon 5. I really enjoy Katee's solos, she should be headed for the finals.

Joshua showed us a solo to Like That by Memphis Bleek. He is truly amazing, showing every genre of Hip Hop, doing the splits and coming right back up without using his arms. The highest jumps ever!

Mark and Courtney came back with a Contemporary dance to The Garden by Miria. It was different, the song was very cool, the choreography was weird. The judges loved it, but it looks like they are going to leave it up to the public. Mary Murphy even said it was weird.

Katee and Joshua gave us a Pasa Doble to Filet by LeReve. This was so dramatic. Joshua with no shirt on... we have a winner! At the end of the dance, he dragged he across the stage in true matador style! Mary Murphy screamed twice for them, deafening everyone in North America. Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy both professed that Joshua should "steal the show" if he continues improving his natural talent.

Courtney G. gave us her solo to Rock Your Soul by Elisa. Courtney is a beautiful Contemporary dancer, but her solo got overpowered by Joshua and Katee's dance. Hopefully her fan base won't let her down!

Mark's solo was to Bum Like You by Robyn. Kind of

Twitch and Courtney had the final dance of the night with a Hip Hop routine about 'crazy conductors', to Control by The Vitamin String Quartet. It was the coolest Hip Hop story I've seen this season. In this routine, whoever held the wand controlled the other dancer. Awesome! The judges loved them both, Chelsie more than kept up with Twitch's every move.

This is the toughest season of SYTYCD ever! Two dancers leave tomorrow night and the Season 4 Finale is next week, already. I think it will be, sadly, Twitch and Courtney G. who leave. My guess for the Final 4 dancers are: Joshua, Katee, Chelsie H. and Mark. Man, I hope I'm wrong!

  1. My guess is Mark and Chelsie, although I really loved Mark's solo. That waltz didn't do anything for me and I'm a huge fan of Katee's but her solo was blah for me. Nothing in it stood out.

    However, Joshua and Katee, overall, blew me away. Josh can Paso my Doble anytime!!!!
