Okay America, So You Think You Can Dance is coming to the end very soon. Will your Favorite Dancer be the last one standing? The show was only an hour long this week. Three couples performed along with 6 solos to win the heart of every wanna-be dancer in America (you know you secretly want to be on this show.) Adam Shankman was introduced along with Nigel Lythgoe, and Mary Murphy as judges. Last week America voted off Comfort and, in a big surprise, Will. To tell you the truth I was upset that Will was booted off instead of Mark. Let’s see if Mark used this chance to validate himself.
Courtney Galiano and Mark Kanemura
Courtney and Mark started off the show with a Viennese Waltz choreographed by Jason Gilkison. They danced to David Cook’s The Time of My Life. This was a very “pretty” dance, as most waltzs are. There’s not much to say about other than it was pretty. For me, waltzs seem to be very much a routine. They’re nice to look at, but there is no wow factor. Their next dance was a Jazz routine by Sonya Tayeh. This dance was perfect for Mark. I told you last week that his dance was “weird.” Well, Tayeh’s routine fit him like a glove. It was a burlesque love story and I’m guessing some will vote for Courtney simply because of the outfit she wore. It was a weird routine, but very awesome in it’s own way. Sonya Tayeh has a very unique style.

Katee Shean and Joshua Allen
Joshua and Katee’s two styles were Contemporary and the Pasa Doble. They danced Contemporary first choreographed by Tyce DiOrio to All by Myself by Celine Dion. The lifts alone in the number is enough to get these two into the final four. Skip the next dance and their solos, they’re already in!!! The pasa doble wasn’t the equal to their first number, BUT it was awesome! I love this dance and they performed it very well.

Chelsie Hightower and Twitch
Chelsie and Twitch danced the Mambo and Hip-hop this week. Tony Meridith choreographed them to a Victor Manuel song. This dance was HOT! Chelsie can move those legs! She is really great at ballroom dancing. Their hip-hop routine was choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon. It was to Janet Jackson’s Control performed by The Vitamin String Quartet. Chelsie looked like the lead in a vampire movie. This was a pretty sweet routine as well. It’s going to be hard to pick the rankings this week since everyone, even Mark, was fantastic! But of course I’ll give it the old college try.

Here is my ranking for the FINAL 6:
6. Mark – Mark did a very good job this week. Not so good that I think he deserves still being in the competition more than Will, so he’s on the bottom of my list.
5. Courtney – I have swayed back and forth on her being the bottom girl in the competition but in my opinion, Chelsie outshined her this week. She’s a wonderful dancer but it just seemed like she was tired of the whole thing and didn’t have any more to give.
4. Chelsie – Chelsie stepped it up this week. Her duets were great and her solo was amazing. She looks as if she’s determined to win this competition.
3. Katee – She is my top girl this week. Her duets with Joshua were out of this world crazy, slap your mama fantastic and her solo showed how great of a dancer she is.
2. Joshua & 1. Twitch – Both Joshua and Twitch have the least training but they’re both in my top two this week. They have got the passion I love in a dancer as well as the personality that shines through when they dance. Twitch is still my number one man because he does moves that make me wonder how the heck he got his body to move that way. It’s as if he’s one of those slap bracelets we use to have back in the 80′s. One little motions and he’s in a totally different position than when he started.
*On a side note. The sharing of the grill between Twitch and Cat was seriously nauseating.
The finale is next week and tickets for the tour goes on sale on Saturday August 8th. Let’s see if I’m right or totally off like I was when Will was voted off last week.

What?!?! You put my girl Courtney in the bottom? Come on, no one watches the solos anyway. Mark and Chelsea (sadly) will have to go.
I thought Chelsie was the best….so did Bill and Hillary…
Now Chelsie has the whole package… Beautiful face. Nice body. Nice legs. She's hott.
Why did they split up Chelsie and Mark? The last episode I saw was when they did the Bleeding Love song which was amazing. I thought they were great together.
Each week they randomly pull names from the hat, along with their dancing styles. That way no one has an advantage.
Did you even watch the show??
I watched the videos…and that's close enough.
By just watching the videos you don't get Cat's wonderful candor.
So Chelsie and Mark were just lucky to share 3(4?) dances together before they were separated?
Hopefully we see them together again at some point. They're really good together.
i love love love love love love CHELSIE HIGHTOWER, go chels go chels go chels wooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!she is so awesome,shes gorgeous,and when she did that mambo i seriously forgot twitch was up there, chelsie so took that,they're hiphop was ok but it wasnt memorable,but damn it katee and josh always do so well together and they stole the show last night and is keeping chelsie from winning this,ugh they piis me off but i do love joshua to i just really want chelsie to win.i dont care much for katee,while she is an amazing dancer her solos suck,she does the same boring crap over and over again and her personality is boring,i mean i dont know her but from what i see on the packages shes kinda dull,unlike chelsie whos solo rock everytime never get tired of seeing those legs work,joshuas solos are really cool,he very entertaining and really the most versitile dancer on the show,twitch's solo are cool they're really playful,but hes not going to win and id he does im gonna be pissed he should have gone home instead of WILL!!!!!,anywho courtney and mark's jazz routine was awesome as well but their waltz wasnt bad it was actually good but it wasnt memorable either,i always love marks solos but this one didnt do for me,courtney solos alway feel like she gives a100% like she puts all her heart in it and they come out good,unlike katee who is boring!!!!!!!!i think the people who are safe are of course joshua an katee and omg im so scared chelsie might go home but i full confidence in her.GO CHELSIE but i hope shes not a lacey because lacey was consistent throughout the whole show,made it to the bottom four then i got cut and she was alsoa ballroom dancer.I LOVE YOU CHELSIE.lol i sound like an obsessed psycho lol
OMG, longest comment EVER without a paragraph break! Bravo!
LOL thanx
Sorry, let me clear that up. Once the contestants reached the top ten, they had to pick from the hat. Before that, they were stuck with who they were stuck with…unless one of them got booted off.
Wow…that's all I got to say about that.
to bad theres no audio would like to hear that in one long breath!!
correction i meant to say lacey was in the top 4
My eyes started crossing after the second line…I only made it to line three before I had to stop reading. But I think she's saying that she likes Chelsie…
Oh…
Okay.
CHELSIE ROX!!!!!! sorry for the long commets i just really had to get that out
Ya know this is just coming to me… but I'm starting to think Chelise might be pretty good… I know thats coming out of left field… but I bet others would agree with me… if only we could find someone to agree with me… =)
Who's Chelsie?
chelsie hightower from so you think you can dance is perty awesome as you can see ive pretty much clarified that i love her
Chelsie would be the person who have their named spelled correctly unlike Chelise who would be the spanish version of Chelsie
I'm still undecided… I might say Chelsie might be the best, but I cant seem to get any support!!
i support u cap'n schwartz
ALRiGHT!!! Its like the signs have been all around me the whole time, I just couldnt see them…Together we will get Chelsie into the finals!!!
OH NOOOOO!!!!! *CRIES**CRIES*CRIES*CRIES* IM SO PISSED AND LIKE I LITERALLLY CRIED WHEN CHELSIE WAS FREAKIN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this wasnt suppose to happen WAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH AMERICA !!!!!!!! keeping courtney omg chelsie was mostly the main reason why i watched this season,i dont even wanna watch the damn show anymore
even chelsie herself looked shocked,she was cryin her behind off,like she couldnt even say nothin,that was another big shocker,first Will now Chelsie,sumthin aint right and im gonna be so pissed if courtney wins,im mean im not a katee fan but she better beat courtney because chelsie didnt deserve to get eliminated like that.
Doh!!! we needed more in our Chelsie army!!
Its rigged, like american Idol, whats up with that!?!?!
Somebody call 911, cause Chelsie got robbed!!!
LOL!!!! *cries* im so pissed i hope theres more of chelsie hightower the future,but u know im not gonna hate on courtney,even though chelsie deserves to be their more than her,courtney did work it,but rite now i really hate america for making the one dumbest decisions ever,if they cant vote right on a simple dance show how are the going to vote right for the president of the united states,this nation is not going to make it
See, now Nigel just looks silly for convincing all those stupid Americans to register to vote. They can't pick the correct person on a dance show (according to ambrie bonilla) and now they're going to pick the leader of the free world? Scary.
Courtney Rocks!
lol, that's bad.
LOL yeah i was really pissed
LOL…point!!
sweet
Courtney is my fav! I was so happy to see she made it. The girl was born to dance. Did you know she was also a member of the NY Knicks City Dancers? The team is actually looking to get their last spot filled but the dancers are no Courtney! Watch it right here: http://msg.com/knickscitydancers/
