9 Performances, 9 Great Dancers, But Where Are Their Personalities?????


I would really like to know the answer to that question. There is no doubt in my mind that these nine dancers are anything other than phenomenal. Lets face it if they were not they would not be in L.A. on that stage. However, every week we see awesome routines form the contestants and the all stars, but we are really left with no idea of most of these dancers personalities, which makes these excellently choreographed routines feel a little fake.

Fortunately, I am not able to say this about all of the dancers this week, because a couple of them really stepped up their game last night, and I even got kind of a pleasant surprise too. Unfortunately, I am able to say this about most of the dancers, some of which are definitely crowd favorites, For the record though I am not the only one watching this program or judging these dancers who feels the same way. Last night the judges continuously re-iterated and confirmed my statement.

Some of those who took this particular criticism from the judges are Billy Bell, Kent Boyd, and Melinda Sullivan, Lets face it Billy and Kent are most certainly crowd favorites. Billy Bell is almost certainly the most genius dancer ever on the show, and Kent according to Adam is the most hirable dancer ever to compete on So You Think You can Dance, yet they continually hide themselves instead of letting go and getting totally into the routine. As for Melinda she just cannot seem to connect and will probably be going home this week.

On the positive side of this week’s criticism, I have to give kudos to Adechike. This young, talented dancer had really struggled the first two weeks showing a total lack of personality and I believe dance quality, really stepped up to the plate and delivered last night. The first two weeks it was my opinion that he should have been the one to go home and that the fans really screwed up. However, I now I hope they let him move on to week four in the competition because he really showed great improvement this week.

The two dancers that really impressed me last night were Ashley Galvan and Alex Wong. Ashley paired up with all star Ade, and performed a contemporary piece that was not only beautiful, and completely believable, but her best yet. As far as Alex Wong goes I think last night he set the standard and stole the show with is Hip Hop routine with all star Twitch. That is right his partner was not only a guy, but arguable the best in his genre and Alex not only kept up with him, but he totally dominated the performance.

I am going to stop right here for now, because I have pressing personal business to attend to, but Simple Man Entertainment will be back tomorrow to tell you all about tonight’s results show. I hope you all enjoy this post and the videos, especially the Hip Hop routine it is off the chain. I hope you all have a terrific Thursday evening and I will be back next week for another round of So You Think You Can Dance.
