So You Think You Can Dance Top 4 9/3/18

Genessy and Slavik
Hip Hop - Luther Brown
Slavik was in it more than last week but still not as much as Genessy.
I liked the bright costumes and cool vibe.
Genessy had some especially great moves in this routine.

Jensen and Hannahlei
Heels (fusion of jazz, contemporary, and Burlesque) - Brian Friedman
They danced to a RuPaul and Todrick Hall song!
Quick, sharp movements
They were trying to out-dance each other.
Both of them are really going for it.
They are in it to win it.

Genessy and Jonathan
Samba - Elena
You can tell that Genessy has Latin roots.
Her hips were killer!
But she looked at the audience more than her partner, which was a little distracting.
Still, she was super hot.
Samba is a tough dance.

Slavik and Melanie
Contemporary - Travis Wall
I didn't think Slavik could dance on a level with Melanie, who is one of the best dancers in the history of the show.
But I was pleasantly surprised.
It was a beautiful, powerful performance.
I would say it was Slavik's breakthrough dance.

Hannahlei and Slavik
African Jazz - Sean Cheesman
Amazing flexibility by Hannahlei - that is what I will remember most about this routine.
I love Sean Cheesman's choreography - it is so original!
I thought Hannahlei and Slavik had good chemistry considering it was their first time to dance together.

Jensen and Genessy
Broadway - Travis Wall
This piece required great acting as well as great dancing, and they both succeeded with the acting and the dancing.
They played well off each other.

Hannahlei and Fik-shun
Hip Hop - Randi and Hef
This routine reminded me of Fik-shun and Amy's "Bellhop" routine by Tabitha and Napoleon.
Fik-shun has such an outstanding personality; he always looks like he's having fun. He brought that out in Hannahlei.
It was such an entertaining routine.
I loved their facial expressions and all the tricks with the boxes.

Jensen and Robert
Contemporary - Mandy Moore
Beautiful lines and shapes.
Jensen looked like a contemporary dancer.
And Robert is SO hot! Just sayin'.

Genessy and Hannahlei
Contemporary - Talia
Very good synchronization
Genessy held her own but I thought the performance belonged to Hannahlei.

Jensen and Slavik
Cha Cha - Oksana
Definite improvement by Slavik's over last week's Salsa.
He looked more comfortable and gave it more of an effort.

Results:
Congratulations to Hannahlei - She is America's favorite dancer for 2018!
I wanted Jensen to win, but I'm so happy for Hannahlei, and she is definitely deserving.
