I'm a HUGE fan of So You Think You Can Dance (I was a dancer back in high school and college... konek?) but haven't really blogged about the show. Well, I've wanted to when the latest season (5) started but 'coz of things I had to take care of, it's only now that I got to do so.
So You Think You Can Dance Season 5 dancers, I believe, is the most talented batch of contestants I've seen so far. I still love Seasons 3 (Lacey, Chelsea, Mark, Danny, Dominic, Pasha, Anya, Neil... okay, all of 'em!) and 4 (Joshua, Katie, Will, Twitch, Courtney, Gev) but they're not as technically good as this new batch.
Anyway, if you're here to find out who got eliminated this week, it's Azuka Kondoh and Jonathan Platero (I had to play it again 'coz I forgot his name).
I'm so glad Azuka is out of the competition. She's selfish and really irritating. I can't forget what she did when she found out that she was in the Top 20. She and another dancer were the last 2 girls to learn the news if they're in or not during Vegas week. And I cannot forget how Azuka treated the other dancer.
Y'know what she did? Okay, first, lemme ask you, what would you do if you found out you got promoted and a colleague, who was with you in your boss' office when you got the news, got fired right in front of you? Would you jump up and down to celebrate your promotion? Well, if you said yes, you're as mean as Azuka. Me? I'd comfort my colleague first and celebrate my promotion later. That's what you call RESPECT and MANNERS.
That's exactly what Azuka did not do and that's why I hate her. She almost jumped up and down, and she even hugged the other dancer in glee! Sheesh. And she acts like she's all that, but, damn... And she's rude! She told Vitolio Jeune that the reason they can't connect while dancing was because she's not attracted to him. Excuses, excuses, excuses. You're just not good as Anya so I'm so happy you're out of the competition. I hate her face.
Poor Jonathan. I like him 'coz of his personality and the way he carried himself with his partnership with Karla Garcia. I guess his lack of personality is what got him eliminated.
Karla and Vitolio will be dancing next week. I don't really like this pair up but what can I do? I think Nigel Lithgoe just wanted to get rid of Azuka and partner Vitolio with someone else and Jonathan was the sacrificial lamb. Plus, I don't think Nigel wanted to break up the other couples who were amazing in the past weeks' performances.
Talking about the other couples, my top 3 (couples) are:
Melissa Sandvig & Ade Obayomi
They're the couple to beat for me this season. I love how much versatility Melissa is showing, being a ballerina and all. And all her talk about her age, damn, she looks lovely when she's dancing! And she can even keep up with Ade. I love her! She might not have that big personality as the other female dancers this season but she's just amazing!
And, Ade. Oh my gosh. Me and Mai didn't even like him before the whole competition started. I was actually rooting for Evan Kasprzak. But, damn, after watching Ade's 3 performances, he just amazes me. It was really a surprise. Gosh. And I love his personality. He's just sweet.
Brandon Bryant & Janette Manrara
I love Brandon and Janette's partnership. And Janette shocked me, really. Can't believe she was able to keep up with their Disco dance routine from Doriana Sanchez last week. I love her personality, even though she seems too "hyper" for me at times. But she's just great. I'm glad Brandon was partnered with someone as good as her.
Well, I've loved Brandon ever since I saw him auditioning in the past seasons of the show. I'm glad he's in this season. He's pretty talented. And I don't understand why Mia and Lil C weren't amazed by him. And I can't even believe how much Mia can be a hater sometimes. Just because Brandon was smiling when you were giving him negative comments doesn't mean he's disrespecting you or he finds what you're saying funny. That's just his personality. He's a very sweet person, from what I've seen. He's confident, yes, but not at all arrogant. Sheesh. I'm glad Brandon didn't take it negatively and even took it as a challenge. That's why me and Mai love him! I hope he goes far this season!
Evan Kasprzak & Randi Evans
They're just so cute! I love this pair, especially Randi! Evan was kinda a disappointment. I thought he'll be stronger and will be on top this season but, damn. He needs to seriously AMP his game or else, he'll end up going home too early. Randi is doing pretty well so he needs to keep up with her energy. I love them both so I hope they perform well every week.
Now, for my Top 5 dancers. Well, Melissa and Ade are my Top 2 so here are my top 3-5:
I love Kayla! She's actually tied with Melissa for my top female dancers this season but 'coz Melissa's with Ade, who's my top male dancer, Kayla's my Top 3. Anyway, Kayla's just amazing. I'm so freaking glad that her partner Max got eliminated last week. He's just pulling her down.
I would've loved to see Kayla partnered with Jason Glover 'coz I hate Caitlin. I can't even believe she's still in the competition and why she got in the Top 20! First of all, she's not as talented as everyone else. Second, she doesn't have the personality to be loved by viewers. Third, and most important of all, she's not putting forth enough effort to nail her performances! She's just pulling Jason down. Argh. I can't stand her! I would've preferred her sister staying instead of her.
Going back to Randi and Brandon, well, I've already mentioned why I love them. I just hope they stay longer 'coz I love to see them dance!
My other fave dancer this season is Philip Chbeeb, y'know, the famous popper from last season. I enjoy him a lot doing his own thing but he's not versatile enough to win this. But, with his following, I'm afraid he might. Argh. I would completely hate that. It's completely unfair to let him into the competition, especially when there's Ade who's gotten NOT enough exposure in Vegas. If Philip wins, it's like Kris Allen winning over Adam Lambert all over again. Sickening.
Can't wait for next week's performances. I wanna see more Wade Robson and Mia Michaels routines. And I love Sonya, Napoleon & Tabitha. I hope Stacey Tookey can stay to choreograph more this season 'coz I love what she did with Karla and Jonathan last week. And, please, Nigel, if you get to read this (as if), please, please, get rid of Shane Sparks. He's not a good choreographer at all! Sheesh. All he can do are dance steps you'd usually see in a club.
Gosh. I just love this show!
nigel is a control freak
