Mia Michaels joined the judges panel tonight on SYTYCD stage.
Here is how the night went down:
Janette & Brandon: Cha Cha (Jean Marc G.) Music: "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" by The Pussy Cat Dolls
This was a fast paced routine, looked a little more like a disco. Brandon sang throughout the song, annoying. It was good, but I hope tonight gets better. Brandon did well with his footwork, the only part that looked like a Cha Cha.
Nigel Lythgoe: "...the best damn Cha Cha I have ever seen on this show ever... "
Mary Murphy: "... I hear a train coming... you 2 have 2 tickets on the hot tamale train..."
Mia Michaels: "... I know I have scared the bleep out of you Brandon... you have so much potential... you're gonna love me and hate me on this journey... Janette you've been on fire since day one..."
Kayla & Kupono: Contemporary (by Sonya Tayeh) Music: "Eyes On Fire" by Blue Foundation
The story of life and death in the vampire world. I liked the music the most. I just don't get any feeling from these two. Maybe it was better for the judges.
Nigel Lythgoe: "... the inspiration for Sonya was absolutely fabulous... Kupono you are a new man up there this week... I thought it was absolutely fabulous... there was so much technique..."
Mary Murphy: "...these two are alive and kicking... I think Sonya did a brilliant job of playing to your strengths... you're staying on the hot tamale train..."
Mia Michaels: "... you're a stunning couple... Sonya, for me this was your best piece ever on the show... amazing..."
Randi & Evan: Broadway (Joey Dowling) Music: Richman's Frug
This is made for Evan, he dances like he was born on Broadway.
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood tonight, but this was boring too. I have no idea what it was about. They looked good together.
Nigel Lythgoe: "... a great homage to Bob Fossi... I thought Randi, that you did very well... Evan, you have to bring a little more to the party..."
Mary Murphy: "...I think most of the time you got the character really well... it was entertaining..."
Mia Michaels: "... the choreography was there... you guys didn't take it to that level... Randi, it was a little heavy for me... Evan, I expect more from you..."
Caitlyn & Jason: Jazz (Brian Freidman) Music: "Creator" by Santigor
So it was a hip hop routine. Surprisingly much better than the couple's actual hip hop routine that was an epic fail. I really liked it. Hopefully they won't fall to the bottom 3 again.
Nigel Lythgoe:"... it was very weird.... you have to commit to it 100% and I think you both did that... I'm not sure about the costume... It looks like a dancing condom." Cat Deeley, "Safety first, Nigel."
Mary Murphy: "... I didn't think it played to your strengths... it just doesn't sit right with me... I love the two of you..."
Mia Michaels: ".... it's kind of refreshing a little, to go out there and just have fun... I don't like the tin foil (on the costume)..."
Jeanine & Phillip: Hip Hop (Napoleon & Tabitha) Music: Love Lockdown by Kanye West
Chained together for the routine... it was a great idea. In places it worked well. In others it did not. No way to say Phillip did not do his part and Jeanine did pretty well to keep up. The chain was in the way for me.
Nigel Lythgoe: "...you should be chained together for life... "
Marry Murphy: "... I thought it was so incredibly creative... you guys really brought it on..."
Mia Michaels: "... I found myself getting caught up in the 'chainography'... it takes away from the hard hitting..." EXACTLY!!!
Jeanine said they "had been living with the chain". Phillip grabbed the mike to say, "she made a mistake right there!" The two are not 'living' together.
Melissa & Ade: Ballet (Thordall Christienson) Music: "Romeo & Juliet"
A Romeo and Juliet routine from Melissa, a true ballerina. She looked stunning as usual. Ade looked more contemporary, but evendentally that is allowed now. It was ok.
Nigel Lythgoe: "... it was beautifully danced... Ade, your footwork could be a little better, but your carriage and everthing else was great... thank you so much..."
Mary Murphy: "... I just loved it... the chemistry was just flawless..."
Mia Michaels: "... I am so excited to be celebrating classical dance on this program... I love that it's a black and white Romeo and Juliet... you can't fake classical ballet..."
Karla & Vitolio: Quick Step (Jean Marc G.) Music: "Puttin' On the Ritz" by Rufus Wainright
Finally a dance that is choreographed to it's name from start to finish. I love to watch the Quick Step and this was a good one.
Nigel Lythgoe: "... there were so many good things about that... it was really entertaining..."
Mary Murphy: "...they brought the whole thing alive... it was really well done..."
Mia Michaels: "... Jean Marc is a genius... it's amazing what a choreographor can do for dancers... I was surprised... "
Well overall it was much better than last week on SYTYCD. This season has yet to live up to SYTYCD Season 4. That group was just amazing. Phillip Chbeeb continues to impress me, I hope he stays in for a while. No clear leader yet.
