Can't they all stay????

So You Think You Can Dance was UH MAZING last night!!!!!! I am pretty sure I am going to have my heart broke every week from here on out. I just LOVE them all wayyyy too much.
I voted for Legacy, Kathryn (first time I have ever voted for her) and Ellenore. Allias voted for Russell. If I had to choose anyone to go home it would be Ashleigh and Ryan. I think it would be cool for them to go home together. I like them both it's just I like the others more. I am pretty sure Ashleigh will get the sympathy vote especially after her husband's tearful plea but seriously ACK!!!!
ACK!!!!
I think Jakob is the best dancer but I think Russell could win it all. His joy is totally contagious!


My favorite dance was the contemporary piece choreographed by Travis Wall for Ellenore and Legacy. It was super super fantastic!!!!!

I am scared for the results tonight!!!!
ACK!!! ACK!!! ACK!!!!
I am sooo going to watch this top ten on tour! (I know I know I keep saying this- you will probably hear it several more times before the season is over)

So You Think You Can Dance

Sorry to interrupt my 30 days of thankfulness but I just have to comment on So You Think You Can Dance. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this season. I don't want any of the girls to go home but if I was the one forced to choose I would probably pick Noelle or Mollee. I wish Karen would have been partnered with someone other then Kevin in the beginning. She is a great dancer but he just rubbed me the wrong way and I think that maybe I wasn't the only one and that is why they ended up in the bottom so often. As far as the guys I am pretty sure it will be Victor. If for some crazy reason he ends up safe and someone else goes home I will cry.

I voted for Legacy and Kathryn and threw in a few for Eleanor and Ryan as well.

Can't wait to see how everyone dances with new partners.

I am Thankful Day 23

Today the cat puked on my floor in the wee hours of the morning and woke me up. I think it was around 4 AM. I threw the cat outside so she could finish vomiting and headed to the bathroom to get some toilet paper to clean up the mess.

When I opened the bathroom door, Kailyn's dog Molly came running out. No idea why or how she got in there but as I made my way over to the toilet to get the TP I slipped on something wet. Lovely. I looked down and guess what? It was dog pee. I cleaned up the pee, cleaned up the puke and put Molly in her kennel then I went back to bed.

I knew I would only have 30 minutes to an hour more to sleep before I would be up again for seminary but I wanted it. As soon as I got back into bed Molly started whining in her kennel so I got up again and moved the kennel out in the living room (Kailyn had moved out to the couch sometime in the night), then I went back to bed. As soon as I laid down our dog Tucker started scratching and whining at the door. I ignored him and fell asleep.

I literally woke up at 5:40 (Seminary starts at 6) but I am an expert at getting ready SPEEDY QUICK. I threw on a dress, threw up my hair and threw on some blush- but it was totally freezing in the house so I put on some polka-dot socks and a fuzzy hoodie and headed into Seminary.

I have been dragging all day. It is funny what an hour of broken sleep will do to you. I am wayyy thankful that the majority of my nights are spent sleeping without interruptions. I am super grateful that I can get ready in under 20 minutes and most importantly that no one in my seminary class made fun of my outfit this morning.

Oh and an added bonus- when I went to sit down at my computer this morning the cat had puked on my chair as well!!! I am thankful the material was easy to clean.


(on a total So You Think You Can Dance side note- I voted for Legacy and Kathryn and Ryan and Eleanor- I want Kevin or Victor to go home from the guys and Channing to go from the girls)

I am Thankful Day 12

Today I am thankful for the amazement and joy that is So You Think You Can Dance. This season is already blowing my mind. I am soooooo excited. I know once the public starts voting I am going to be totally sad when people go home. I am pretty sure this will be the top ten tour I refuse to miss.

My favorites are (these aren't in any particular order)- Karen, Nathan, Mollee, Legacy, Russell, Ryan, Eleanor and surprisingly Kathryn. She and Legacy are my favorite partnership right now followed very very closely by Nathan and Mollee. I honestly think Nathan could win this whole thing.

I loved the meet the top 20 and I hope they do that every year from now on! I love the judges and I love Cat- she is my favorite reality TV host- sorry Ryan.

In case you were wondering why Kathryn and Legacy are my favorite partnership at the moment here you go. I would search again on youtube but the videos keep getting pulled. Sorry.
Links are going to have to do.

Here is a link to the contemporary peice they did last night. Seriously though you should watch it. AMAZING! I have watched it like ten times.

"Season Six is going to be sic"

Seriously I am pretty sure this is my FAVORITE top 20 EVER!!!! I cannot wait to see these kids dance!
I already don't want anyone to go home. I usually have a few favorites right from day one but this year it is sooooo hard to choose because I like them all. I think they did the perfect job of balancing talent/heart/personality. Last season I thought they focused way to much on just talent and that doesn't make me "like" the dancers. I want to see a good show!
My three favorite girls so far are Eleanor, Mollee and Karen (Paula was totally my favorite but I guess a movie contract is a pretty big deal). The guys are a lot harder I don't think I can pick just three this early. I am liking Russell, Kevin, Nathan, Billy, Legacy and Ryan. I cannot wait to see who everyone is paired up with. I don't think I have been this excited for a show to start EVER!
I am also wayyy excited that they are doing a "meet your top 20" kick off show on Monday!!!!!

After reading each of the dancer's bios I have found out that Ashley (she and her husband both made it) graduated from BYU, Ariana is from New Bern, NC and Noelle Marsh (who seriously annoys me) is from Sanford, NC. Several of these dancers have already done amazing things in their dancing careers and I cannot wait to see what they bring to the show.
As Russell said last night "The show has just begun!"

Top Ten

Last night's show was mediocre to me. I liked the two group dances and Ade and Janette doing that hip hop routine. I also LOVED Ade's solo. I voted for Kayla and Ade- I would have voted for Janette as well (her solo was smokin!) but I watched it late and by the time she did her solo it was too late to vote. I think that the girls are all better dancers then the boys. If I were to predict who is leaving I would say Randi and Jason- even though I think Jason danced really well in the group dance and with his partner- his solo was kind of boring. I really don't like Randi or Evan but according to dial idol they are getting the majority of the votes. Not sure what the appeal is. I will be bummed if Kayla goes home.

SYTYCD

This was my favorite week on SYTYCD so far this season. I thought everyone danced really really well. Brandon and Janette were INSANE!!! That Wade Robson routine was UH MAZING! Wade is seriously a GENIOUS! I LOVE him!!! I still don't really care for Brandon much personality wise but boy he can dance. The addiction dance that Kupono and Kayla did made me cry and I thought Melissa and Ade were fantastic and they look so beautiful together when they dance. Ade is one of my favorites for sure. I am confused at how many people seem to be voting for Evan and Randi. I don't care for either of them and I don't think Evan is all that great of a dancer.
I ended up watching the competition and results shows back to back since I didn't have time Wednesday night to watch. I pretty much figured Caitlin would be the girl leaving and that Evan or Jason would be the guy. I was surprised to see Philip and Jeanine in the bottom three again and totally shocked that Melisaa and Ade were there even though his waltz wasn't fantastic. The solos were simply brilliant. Ade- all I can say is WOW! I had a feeling if Philip went home before top ten that they would ask him to join them on the tour. He is just so good at what he does- and hey its all about money- which he will bring to the tour. Allias is going to be totally bummed when he gets back from scout camp and realizes Philip is no longer on the show.
I am excited to see the new partnerships next week and what this top ten can do!
Just in case you missed it- here is Brandon and Janette doing a Wade Robson jazz routine. I have watched it like ten times- it is that good!!!

Predictions

I missed SYTYCD last week because I was on vacation but was a little bummed that Asuka went home. I enjoyed all of the dances this week but wowsers Philip was insane with his chest popping. Freaked me out. I actually liked Brandon for the first time as well and I still love Kayla but can't stand Kupono.
I voted for Ade and Melissa- soooo beautiful! I love to watch people dance on point. AMAZING

My prediction for bottom three
Caitlin and Jason
Karla and Vitolio
Randi and Evan

I am pretty sure Karla will go home- the boys will be a toss up.


oh and watching the recaps from last week- I felt very sorry for Randi and Evan- terrible choreography in my opinion.

So You Think You Can Dance

Overall I was disappointed with the show this week. My favorite part of the show was when they showed Evan's brother trying out for next season. That guy has serious talent. If he doesn't make the show they should totally hire him as a choreographer.

I am beginning to feel like they chose dancers that are amazingly technical but totally lacking in the personality department and this week even the dancing wasn't even that great. I didn't like the choreography on either of the hip hop routines and I thought the Tango Philip and Jeanine danced was probably the WORST I have ever seen.
I am also getting annoyed with the judges. They seem to cry over anything and I am starting to feel like this is going to be another classic example of the theory that when everyone is super no one will be.
I thought Brandon and Janette danced that insanely fast disco routine very well but I don't like either of them.
I enjoyed Max and Kayla's routine and I was sad to see Max go. There are sooooo many contemporary dancers this season and I thought Max had been fantastic so far. I would have rather seen Kapona go. I didn't like his solo at all and I hate it when they compare him to Mark from last season. They are NOTHING alike.
I liked Vitolio and Asuka's routine up until Mary started blubbering all over the place. Then I was like ummmmm yeah and the only other routine I thought was even half way decent was Johnathon and Karla. I agree with Mary that he danced it better then his own style. He really doesn't do his own style very well actually.
I also would have chosen to keep Ashley over Caitlin- even though I hated her solo.

I watched the show so late I didn't get to vote but if I would have probably voted for Vitolio and Asuka and possibly Kayla and Max.

So You Think You Can Dance!!!!!

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!! Even more then Idol.
This may be the most trained best technical dancers they have had in their top 20. I hope they have personalities to match.
My early favorites from the auditions/Vegas are
Asuka
Evan (I wish his brother would have made it too)
Phillip (I am pretty sure he will surprise me all year)
Vitolio (crazy that he grew up in an orphanage)

My Notes from the show
I ♥ Cat Deeley

Couple #1 Jeanine and Phillip
Love when the do "soft" hip-hop
Amazing Brilliant choreography
I can't even believe this is the first dance of the season. Soooo brilliant! I voted for them.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Couple #2 Asuka and Vitolio
Asuka could seriously be a model she is so pretty.
The dance was pretty good but I agree with what the judges are saying about personality and character. I like both of them though so I voted for them A LOT.

Couple #3 Karla and Johnathon
Not sure about them being paired up. I do like the Cha Cha danced to Poker Face though- pretty cool. Johnathon has way to much of a baby face to look sexy. LOL but he is pretty adorable.
Mary is annoying- I usually like her but wow she is even more over the top then normal tonight.

Couple #4 Randi and Evan
They are both so stinkin cute. I think I like Randi- she looks really cute with curls too. The Choreography is fantastic and I totally agree that they danced it very TALL. I voted for them.

Whoooaaaa Nelly there are wayyyyyy too many commercials!
Couple #5 Paris and Tony
YAY!!!! More Hip Hop
Super fast choreography for the first show of the season. I hope they can keep up its insane. They really don't have any chemistry but I don't agree with the judges they did just as well as anyone else so far.

Couple #6 Caitlin and Jason
I originally thought they picked the wrong sister for the top 20 but she is actually out dancing Jason. WOW!
And Mary is at it again. I hope she mellows a tiny bit.

Couple #7 Brandon and Janette
Brandon gets on my nerves for some reason. The dress is gorgeous. No chemistry but they danced decently. The last lift was CRAZY.

LOL at Mary's botox comment. I could totally tell that she got her lips done during the Vegas shows!

Couple #8 Ashley and Kapona
I LOVE Wade. This routine is totally mesmerizing but Mary was right during the auditions. Kapona dances like a girl.

Couple #9 Melissa and Ade
Kind of boring and I don't really like her. After the judges crazy praise I rewound it and watched again to see if I missed anything and it was nice but still bored me a bit.
Mary screaming isn't special anymore she has been doing it all night.

Couple #10 Kayla and Max
wow they look wayyyy good in rehearsals!!! Dang they soooo NAILED it. Kayla looks like she has been dancing ballroom her whole life. I am really liking her now. ♥ I voted for them too but was only able to get through a few times because the lines closed.


I am honestly going to hate seeing any of these guys go home. They are all really really good. I think they should let us watch them all dance for a few weeks and then start the voting!!!! Dial Idol shows everyone as being safe- maybe they know something we don't!

If Asuka and Vitolio get to stick around I hope they get a routine that shows off their personalities more.
