Remove this ad "I really like Travis as a judge (not because he said the same thing as me this one time), but mostly because he gives specific suggestions that actually make sense." I agree with that, and he seemed to make Mary and Nigel raise their game a little bit.

I loved him choosing one of my favorite Gloria Estefan songs ever. Agree to zippityboomboom, disagree to littltimmy. If you called that a bboy solo, you're wrong. It was a solo with bboying at the end: everything from the one-handed handhops on was the bboying. Everything before that was not. He's generic in his bboy moves, but the guy has a freaking amazing personality when he dances. It's funny, I only saw the last 15 seconds of the solo the first time the show aired; I assumed the rest of it was b-boying as well (just like his first solo, which actually was a generic b-boy solo). So I should amend my statement to say that I find his b-boying�pretty generic right now (and the rest of his solo didn't really "wow" me either) So far, the only compliments you've made about his solo were his song choice, and his personality; not exactly a stellar endorsement of the dancing.�IMO, out of the B3, he's probably my favorite guy, but that doesn't keep me from thinking that he easily had the least impressive male solo of the night (although his song choice was better than Ricky's...). It was just... solid, and that's it. His audition was very creative in a lot of ways, and he has yet to replicate that, so he's been�disappointing me so far in the solo department. It probably doesn't help that�I don't find Tadd as hot as everyone else...but if generic solos are his biggest problem, then he's doing a fantastic job, which he is. He actually reminds me of Mitchel, in a way, who is so great in his partner routines that I expect his solos to be terrific and memorable as well, but they're just not (although Mitchel needs to work on his solos a lot more than Tadd does).� Although, it was nice to see Travis pretty much say the same thing in this video, just using the word�stereotypical�instead of generic (around 1:45). I really like Travis as a judge (not because he said the same thing as me this one time), but mostly because he gives specific suggestions that actually make sense. I'm sure I would grow to hate him if he was made a permanent judge or something, like Adam. �Also, I like Mary finally mentioning that Melanie/Marko have not been challenged at all; I wish she'd bring it up on the live show, but Nigel probably forbids it.� Oh yeah, his bboying is generic. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you on that. He even screwed up his transition down from his handhops (I do not believe his foot was supposed to touch the floor). But like I said personality is the other half of it. You don't have a performance without personality, and that's what defines his style. Even if it's not the hardest thing, the WAY he does it makes it enjoyable. I didn't give him large props for his act, but I laughed and smiled. I wish Travis was on every time ): He's such a better judge than the rest of them. (Cept maybe Debbie ) I like how Mary forgot to mention that Ryan/Ricky are in the same situation. I will kill Nigel if they get a Travis Wall routine that should be Jordan/Tadd's (two Waltzs wtf?)

The best dancer rarely ever wins. And Tadd is one of the best looking guys this show has had on in a long time. I hope the Filipino vote gets him to the finals.

He told Nick he had the potential to change the way the world views tap. Nick says he now has the drive to make tap as appreciated as hip-hop and contemporary and he may have found his calling in life. Way to go fellow Badger :) ps. suck it Nigel

Posts: 13965 (07/10/11 11:34 PM) OMEDETO, CATHY!! Reply Quote More Recent Posts	This season could be really good because I think from a girl's standpoint they are the most talented crop ever. However, the choreography is shitty and they have a lack of males that can really stand up to most of the women. The only one that really can is Marko with Melanie. I guess I'm rooting for Jordan and Sasha but I lack a hard core favorite. I'm still bummed out about Iveta going. Only girl that needs to go is fucking Clarice. That bitch is such boring fodder and I'm sick of her. Odds are good that she'll be btm3 next week and she'll most certainly go in that situation. If she somehow isn't bottom 3, she is for sure the 1st girl boot in the top 10.

Posts: 2592 (07/11/11 04:40 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I found it funny that Travis said in an interview that the decision was easy because of who was in the bottom 3 with Chris and Ashley (he phrased it a little nicer than that), but had the B3 been different, Chris and Ashley would probably not have gone home (well, he said Ashley and Ryan, but it was obvious what he meant). With Chris it's obvious he meant Alexander, but who would they have eliminated instead of Ashley? It wasn't Melanie or Caitlyn (since they wanted Ashley gone over her last week), so that leaves Sasha or Clarice. I hope it's the latter, because she has not impressed me since her Vegas solo, and she's been getting her style every week (and seriously, Jess was the one who carried that fox trot; her "overly intense" arm movements took me out of it a couple of times). I'm assuming Travis wasn't talking out of his ass to make Chris/Ashley feel better or something... (although I do believe Alex would have been gone had be been B3; Chris was better than him and the judges hate Alex). Of course, I'm excluding Ryan from this evaluation; since why bother anymore (but she really is the worst of the girls; she's been the worst since... forever, and I don't even think I'm exaggerating).

Related: Gossip, Spoilers, Season 8 Sytycdjuly7ep2--784793374154058316 Photo Credit: Adam Rose/Fox Week 5 of the competition is here, and tomorrow night the remaining 12 dancers will battle it out in one of the most important weeks of the competition. This week marks the elimination of two more dancers, bringing us to our Top 10! It’s crucial for the dancers to leave their heart and soul on the dance floor because everything changes next week — couples are broken up, and the All-Stars enter. So, what’s on tap for this week? One thing we can be assured of it that we have some great choreographers working with our Top 12 this week. Travis Wall is choreographing at least two routines. “Jazz routine all the way done... Now onto contemporary,” he posted recently on his Twitter. His numbers are always a judge and crowd pleaser. Tyce Diorio is also choreographing one of the duets. He challenged his online fans to guess which couple he had this week. Votes included Jordan Casanova and Tadd Gadduang, Melanie Moore and Marko Germar, Ryan Ramirez and Ricky Jaime, Jess LeProtto and Clarice Ordaz, and Sasha Mallory and Alexander Fost. “Someone kinda guessed ... But, I can’t confirm yet,” he replied. Our vote is on Ryan and Ricky. And next up, Dancing with the Stars' Louis Van Amstel is choreographing two ballroom routines on two different couples. “I'm excited to find out who my two couples are on SYTYCD and the two dances I'll be choreographing!! Who do u guys think I should have?” he tweeted. We think it’s about time to see Melanie and Marko in a serious ballroom routine. Marko posted, “Wow my brain feels pretty fried. So many details to remember. But I have faith and I know how [Melanie] and I work and perform so I'm not worried.” Ballroom technique is all about the details. Will this be the week? July6ep8--396687877145389079 Photo Credit: Adam Rose/Fox Photo: Sasha Mallory and Alexander Fost perform a hip-hop routine to "To The Moon," choreographed by Shaun Evaristo on the July 6 episode of So You Think You Can Dance Season 8. It sounds like Sasha and Alexander will be dancing a style that is not only new to them, but new to the show as well. “Morning! Getting prepared for rehearsals had to do some research on the style we got. I've always wanted to do this ... Can't wait can't wait!” Sasha posted. Alex added, "By far the best dances I've ever done on this show and the hardiest!" A few things are 100 percent certain though for Week 5. Every dancer is in love with the group routine and tweeting like fiends about it. Ryan Ramirez wrote, “LOVE this group routine!!!!! SO much fun! So hot :) yayayaya!” She posted just one of many exclamation and capitalization filled-tweets. What could it be? A smokin’ Broadway number? Or perhaps a spicy jazz routine? The other sure bet is that as long as Mitchell Kelly sticks around, these dancers will be well feed. He appears to be the resident Season 8 chef. We can’t wait to see the dancers dish it out on tomorrow night’s episode. Will the couple elimination trend continue before the couples are split up for good? Don’t miss out on all of the fun.

I like Jordan (and he has yet to get her style, I don't care if the waltz was catered to her; at least it wasn't barefoot), but Ryan has got to go, and so does Alex. What I hope does not happen is Ryan/Ricky end up in the B3, and they send Ricky home instead of Ryan for "failing to connect with the audience" or something.
