So You Think You Can Dance: Top 8 Results
Don't have the ambition to retype everything tonight, so I'm just going to post the review I did for sytycd.com.
Tonight marks the 100th episode of the show. Hard to believe it's been five seasons now. To celebrate the occasion, many of the contestants from all four past seasons are sitting in the audience.
The festivities begin with a Mia Michaels group routine. It's really good, in a creepy kind of way- which we've really come to expect from Mia's choreography. It's a great way to start the show.
After some highlights from all five seasons of the show, it's time to get down to business and find out the results for the girls. Melissa and Jeanine are safe, leaving Kayla and Janette in the bottom two.
Our first revisited performance tonight is Hok and Jaimie's hummingbird piece, choreographed by Wade Robson. Perhaps it's because we've seen it before, but we're just not all that into this. It doesn't seem as effective as it did the first time we saw it.
Now, time to learn the fate of the boys. Ade and Evan are safe, and Jason and Brandon are in the bottom two. Can't say we're not a little bit surprised to see Brandon there.
Next is one of our all-time favorite routines, the Mia Michaels bench piece performed by Travis and Heidi. God, it's good to see this again. It's so beautiful. And Travis is one of our all-time favorite dancers from the show.
Ratings for tonight's solos:
Kayla- 7/10
Jason- 7/10
Janette- 6/10
Brandon- 10/10
Finally, the moment we've been waiting for all night- an encore performance of Wade Robson's zombie routine. This time around, it features Wade himself performing with the dancers. This makes the whole show worth watching. It just never gets old!
Now it's time for the Katie Holmes performance we've been hearing about for weeks. We have to admit we weren't expecting a whole lot, but it's amazing. It's very classic Broadway, and we love it. It's also very fitting that Judy Garland's son, Joey Luft, is in the audience to see it.
The moment has arrived- time to find out who's going home. It's Janette and Jason. No big surprises, considering who they were up against.
Next week, the top 6 perform.
