Simple Man Entertainment

Welcome back my friends to Simple Man Entertainment and the review for last nights So You Think You Can Dance weekly results show. I have to tell you that last nights show was well worth watching too. There were some great routines from last years show performed by the original dancers and a couple of guest performers as well. Of Course there were also two more extraordinary dancers cut last night also.

Last nights So You Think You Can Dance kicked off with a Tyce Diorio routine danced by the Top 6 dancers. They danced the routine to “Send in the Clowns” by Judy Collins. As usual the choreography was excellent and the dancing was memorable especially Evans little sad clown part at the end. I also liked the clown outfits although clowns scare my daughter, ha ha ha.

After the opening routine Kat Deeley had the Top 3 female dancers out to find out who was safe and who would be in the bottom two. Jeanine was automatically safe, which forced both Melissa and Kayla to once again dance their solos before a packed studio audience later in the show. I will tell you that I was not surprised to see Jeanine sent off stage safe and in the finale next week, because she is I think the best dancer of the three females.

The first guest routine from season 4 performed for the show was also a Tyce Diorio routine called Silence. This routine was danced by the original dancers Will and Jessica to the song of the same name “Silence” by Unfaithful. This was definitely one of the memorable routines from Season 4. I also thought that then that Will should have been in the finale instead of Twitch who is an excellent dancer in his own right.

When the first guest routine was over Kat had the three male dancers come on stage to find out who was going to dance their solos and who was automatically safe and in the finale. To no ones surprise Brandon was found safe and automatically in the finale for the guys. Of course that meant that Ade and Evan would be dancing at least one more solo that night.

The next guest routine from Season 4 was the Mia Michaels routine Mercy and was performed by the original dancers Twitch and Katie who took second place in last seasons show. The routine is called Mercy and was also performed to the tune of the same name “Mercy” by Duffy. This was one of the most popular dance routines of Season 4 and Katie and Twitched really nailed it last night.

Right after Mia Michael’s routine the third guest routine from Season 4 was performed. This routine choreographed by former show contestant turned choreographer Dimitry Chaplin was a Tango danced to the song “A Los Amigos” by Forever. The dancers for this routine then and now are Chelsie and Joshua. Joshua won the finale last year and Chelsie was my favorite female dancer last season.

The Jabberwocky Dancer’s were guests on last nights So You Think You Can Dance and performed a group routine. They danced to the song “Freak-A-Zoid” by Midnight Star. The routine was a very well coordinated Hip Hop and showcased some great tricks by its individual members as well as an excellent performance as a group. I will also tell you that I enjoyed their performance more than the vocal performance of the vocal guest.

The last guest routine from Season 4 performed last night was also my favorite routine of last season. This routine was choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon and is called Bleeding Love. The song for the routine is also called “Bleeding Love” by Leone Lewis. Chelsie and Mark performed the routine originally in Season 4 and just like last season they shined to it again last night. Chelsie and Mark were my favorite couple last season.

The final guest performer of the evening was Reggae singer Sean Paul, who sang his new hit single “So Fine”. I have to tell you that the music had a great groove to it and his dancers were really of the chain. My only regret about this performance was that Sean Paul had to sing. This performance would have made a great dance routine without Sean Paul’s vocal addition to the performance.

Now to get down to what you all really want to know here at Simple Man Entertainment and that is who went home and who went to the finale. Well after four great solos from four great dancers Kat gave the bad news to two dancers and sent the other tow to the finale. At the end of it all Ade and Melissa went home, and Evan and Kayla went on to the finale to be shown next week.

I am going to make a prediction for next week’s finale before I end this post. I predict that the final two dancers in the finale will be Evan and Jeanine. I further predict that in the end Jeanine will win the contest and be voted Americas favorite dancer. That’s it for now my friends I hope you all enjoy this post and the video. I will see you all later have a great weekend and CIAO4NOW!!!!!

We're back at Simple Man Entertainment with your next look at So You Think You Can Dance Season 5. Last night the top 6 danced, and it definitely was a packed show - so let's get to it.

Judging the show was of course Nigel and Mary, and they were joined last night by Lil C.

Starting out the show, the top 3 guys danced a Sonya contemporary routine, which was incredible. Dancing to "True Romance" by She Wants Revenge, it definitely showcased the top guys. Both Mary and Lil C "loved it" and Nigel felt that Evan really "stood out" in this routine.

Paired together this week were Ade and Jeanine. They picked a Samba choreographed by Louis Van Amstel. Dancing to "Love Game" by Lady Gaga, this routine had mixed reviews. Mary felt that the "first 15 seconds were incredible…then it started to fall apart." Even Lil C felt it "fell short" although al the judges had to admit that Jeanine was beautiful and did perform well in the routine - it was Ade that seemed to have the problem.

Next up was Kayla with her solo. This was a much better solo than we've seen from her in the past. In fact, for the girls, hers may have been the best solo of the night, although it pains me to admit it.

Evan and Melissa were paired together and they first performed a Broadway routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio. They danced a cute piece to "Get Me to the Church on Time" from My Fair Lady by Matt Dusk. I really loved this routine and was irritated that Lil C sort of cracked down on Evan, saying he expected more. However, Mary saved the day saying, perhaps this was "get me to the finale on time," and I agreed. Nigel really felt that Evan did bring enough and felt that Melissa did "good work" in the routine.

Ade was the next solo, dancing a routine that was cool and fun. Although his routine wasn't as good as the others, you always have to say this guy has fun out there.

Brandon and Kayla were paired together this week and they were dancing a Contemporary routine with Stacey Tookey. They danced to "All I Want" by Ahn Trio. It was definitely a beautiful piece with intricate work. Lil C called it "really intense" and "beyond amazing." Mary felt it was "exquisite" and Nigel called it "brilliant."

Up next was Melissa, dancing her solo. She did a good job, and as always, showed off her great ballerina skills.

Ade and Jeanine were dancing again next, doing a Hip Hop routine by Napoleon and Tabitha. They danced to "Move (If You Wanna)" by MIMS. This routine was fun, and it definitely made use of some great props. I thought that Jeanine was really hitting it in this routine. Lil C gave it great praise, calling it "buck" and Mary said they weren't "getting their eviction notice." Nigel thought they "got down" and called it "fantastic."

Brandon performed his solo next, and it was incredible. It was very strong and he got a standing ovation from the judges. Usually the judges don't comment on solos, but Nigel said that his solo was "one of the best solos we've ever seen on the show."

With the Quick Step, otherwise known as the "kiss of death" on the show, Evan and Melissa were next. They were choreographed by Louis Van Amstel and danced to "As Long as I'm Singin'" by The Brian Setzer Orchestra. I thought they pulled it off fairly well. Lil C thought it was "fabulous" as did Nigel, although both Mary and Nigel both commented that the middle lost a bit.

Jeanine danced her solo next, and unfortunately I thought it wasn't quite as good as her other solos; however, it was still a nice performance.

Next up came Evan with his solo, and I just loved it. He's a happy dancer and always makes you smile when he dances. Great as always!

Brandon and Kayla hit the stage next with a Disco routine with Doriana Sanchez. She wanted to outdo her last routine, and I'm not sure that this was a good idea. They danced to "Dance (Disco Heat)" by Sylvester. The judges gave this rave reviews with Lil C calling it "awesome," Mary calling it a "home run," and Nigel screaming and running around the set. However, I felt that they overlooked some flaws in the piece. First of all, I felt that the routine had too many tricks, making it look a bit stilted. There were a few times that they faltered on the tricks as well, getting a bit behind. I'm not sure why the judges failed to mention this, and although the piece was definitely difficult and very good, I didn't think it was necessarily "all that."

The last routine of the night was the top 3 girls dancing a Sonya contemporary routine. This was a fun routine and they danced to "Kick It" by Nin Martine. They were supposed to be dancing as cartoon superheroes. Nigel called them "super dancers" and Mary said they were the "epitome of strong, versatile, sexy dancers."

That wrapped up the show. For me it was perhaps a bit anticlimactic. The group routines were great, and the couple routines were pretty good, but nothing stood out like it did last week. As to who will get cut tonight - well that's anybody's guess. Check back tomorrow to find out what happens tonight and who final four dancers will be.
