So You Think You Can Dance: Top 7 Couples Perform
The guest judge on tonight’s “So You Think You Can Dance” was Mia Michaels. Cat quizzed her as to whether her opinion of Brandon had changed and she admitted it had changed…for the better. But, I don’t think even Mia expected Brandon and Jeanette to knock their socks off with the cha cha like they did. Nigel called it “the best damn cha cha I’ve ever see on this show.” Mary said they had two first class tickets on the hot tamale train. Mia made Brandon cry when she told him that she was so hard on him because he had so much potential.
Kayla and Kupono also wowed the judges with their contemporary routine choreographed by Sonya, which Mia felt was Sonya’s best piece ever. I thought Evan was going to kill his Broadway routine with Randi, but I guess the judges expected more because Nigel and Mia both said they were disappointed in his performance. Mary said he did fairly well. Caitlin and Jason got a jazz routine that Nigel called weird, but liked that they committed to it 100%. Mary, however, said the routine didn’t play to their strengths.
Phillip and Jeanine got a hip hop routine in which they were literally chained together at the ankles. How is that for adding a degree of difficulty? But, they pulled it off flawlessly. Jeanine cracked everyone up when she was talking about their practicing and having “chains hanging everywhere in our apartment.” That caused Nigel to scream “TMI! TMI!”
Melissa and Ade performed a beautiful classical Romeo and Juliet ballet routine. Mary said they had flawless chemistry. Karla and Vitolio finished up the night with the dreaded quickstep. Nigel loved it (the outfit change was too cool!) and Mary said they brought the quick step to life. Mia said sometimes Vitolio looks like a wild horse who cannot be tamed at times, but overall, she liked the performance.
