I know, the show has been over for weeks, so it's kind of silly that I'm writing recaps now, but I want to finish what I started.
Jay Jay and Jensen
Jazz - Sean Cheesman
Seductive and sensual - YES INDEED!
WOW! Also crisp, tight, exciting lifts, Jay Jay came dangerously close to the edge of the stage, and and some of those tricks looked like they could have resulted in injury.
Super edgy, edge-of-your-seat, thrilling routine.
I didn't want it to end.
Their chemistry was off the charts!
Slavik and Genessy
Contemporary - Mandy Moore
I make a prediction - the judges will fall all over themselves in praise.
It was a good routine.
But should Slavik get praised more than Cole for doing lifts because Slavik is an animator and has no experience dancing with a partner?
Should Slavik get praised more for lifting Genessy because she is taller and heavier than Hannahlei?
Anyway, it was a beautiful routine - lovely lines and lyrical quality.
Darius and Magda
Hip Hop - Phoenix and Pharside
How did they do all that in those heavy costumes?
You could tell that Darius was more than comfortable than Magda, even though they were both out of their comfort zones, but Magda coped well.
It was a high energy routine.
The backbend at the end was cool, but I think the music had already stopped, which meant their timing was off.
Cole and Hannahlei
Broadway - Travis Wall
Travis choreographing a Broadway number? Interesting.
Hannahlei can dance any style and make it look effortless.
She is not my favorite, necessarily, but she is my pick to win. She is an amazing, versatile dancer and the audience is absolutely crazy for her.
This was an enjoyable routine: light, airy, refreshing, sweet.
Slavik and Genessy
Jazz - Ray Leeper
This routine required synchronicity and for the most party they achieved that.
Slavik seemed to do very well with the choreography.
Honestly, I'm at a loss as to what else to say.
It was good.
Of course the judges gave them a standing ovation.
I'm growing weary of the obvious pimping.
Darius and Magda
Contemporary - Jaci Royal
Working / dancing with any prop is tough, but this rope may have been the most challenging prop ever used on SYTYCD. Magda's comments about the routine made the dance even more meaningful. I think she gave an especially moving performance - She was shaking and her face emoted fear, frustration, and sadness at her situation. Dancers often have to be actors as well, and Magda's acting skills were definitely on display here. She was acting from personal experience.
The number reminded me Mia Michael's addiction routine, performed by Kayla and Kupono.
I absolutely and completely disagreed with Nigel on this one!!
Jay Jay and Jensen
Hip Hop - Hef and Randi
I'm glad the entire routine wasn't with the props, because I think that would have been distracting. What I loved was how much fun they looked like they were having. They were both of out of their element, but they were totally living this routine.
Cole and Hannahlei
Cha Cha - Emma Slater and Sasha Farber
Yes, Cole, you have had to do a lot of lifting this season. And in this routine, I felt Cole outshone Hannahlei, which is very difficult to do. Not that Hannahlei wasn't great, she was, but Cole was clearly in his element, with his sharp moves and hot hips. Not wearing a shirt is another way to get some extra attention. We were all waiting for that trick, and it did not disappoint! Holy cow!
Results:
Cole and Magda were eliminated. :(
They both went out on a high note at least.
