Top 8 Feels Great!

Yes, I felt the urge to rhyme there.

Sorry this is a couple days late - Wednesday was unusually busy!

I'm not sure how much I liked Tyce's opening routine. I didn't like the lack of dancing. I didn't like the horrible camera angles, which I guess are not his fault, but don't they do camera blocking?! I didn't enjoy that he used the same song as the last guy Vegas audition song. I definitely didn't enjoy watching Ashleigh and Ryan's tongues attack each other in the middle of the stage. I guess I didn't really like this number at all, despite my excitement based on Janette and Jason's tweets. It did show off a dozen more ways that Jakob can jump though, so that was obviously great.

After an especially fabulous recap of Tuesday's especially fabulous show, we have the following bottom four: Noelle, Kathryn, Ryan, and Nathan. All of these are legitimate except for Kathryn. That's pure BS, America. The only explanation/ excuse I can offer is that she and Noelle are too similar in look and dancing styles, and people might get them confused. But alas, those are the bottom four, so we have to be subjected to Ryan's horrid solo yet AGAIN. Ugh.

Ok, so I had been hearing about LXD (Legion of Extraordinary Dancers) on Twitter for a few days now, so I had high expectations already, but they were exceeded by about 3 miles! THAT WAS AMAZING. I can't even put into words, I just have to post a link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZApyius_3E . I had to watch it 3 times to take it all in! Everything about it was amazing. There were isolations, gravity defying jumps, people appearing on stage as if from nowhere, and perfect synchronicity, and it was all set to the Vitamin String Quartet version of "Yellow". I could not believe how much I loved it. Watch it! Then watch again and be re-impressed. You won't regret it.

Solos were the same as Tuesday's, but Noelle and Nathan changed theirs up a little bit. Noelle used a different cut of her song and wasn't as cheesy reaching for the rain. I actually liked it a little better. Ryan did the same stupid solo - next. Katherine was great again, but I don't know how unique she really is; I just really like her. Nathan put his heart out on that stage and left it there for everyone to see. You can tell how much he really loves dance, and he always seems to tell a story with his movements. Too bad being partnered with Mollee really killed it for him.

Then there a performance by Snoop Dogg, which I admittedly fast forwarded through, but only because it was almost 1 am and I was really tired and just wanted to find out the results. I will have to rewatch, so I can see my boy Dominic and Quest Crew perform! I'm sure they were sick - looked like it in fast forward at least!

Results - Noelle and Nathan are going home. So sad for Nathan! He really was benefitting from not having Mollee as a partner, and now he doesn't get a chance to show who he really is. Ryan should have been gone awhile ago, and I really have no idea who is voting for him, since he's pretty much last place on all polls I've seen so far. Oh well, he better be gone next week is all I have to say.

And last but not least, here are my predicitions for next week:

Jakob/Mollee
Legacy/ Ellenore
Russell/ Ashleigh
Ryan/ Kathryn

They better not put the married couple together, which could also be a possibility. But there's probably nothing on the show I'd rather see less than that. The Top 8 is always a hard show when eliminations come, at least for me. We lost Allison in S2, Dominic in S3, Will in S4, and Janette in S5. Not a good track record America, let's make sure we VOTE! Since it's a Top 6 finale this year, I'm hoping regardless of performance on Tuesday, the DiLellos get the boot. And that's it for me, I promise to blog on time next week. See y'all!
