Shocking Results

In tonight's SYTYCD week finale episode, the finalists were announced, Jeannine, Brandon, Kayla and surprise of all surprises, Evan. So Melissa and Ade headed home, two extremely strong and talented dancers, were let go to make way for next week's final four episodes, and subsequent naming of America's favorite dancer.

I was not shocked to see Melissa be voted off since despite her strengths and gracefulness, I felt it was her time to leave the show. As for Ade, he was robbed. By Evan. America, what are you thinking!? Ade is tremendously more talented and technically trained than Evan, and is an overall better performer and dancer in all aspects.

This night leaves me with disappointment because of this fact. There is no doubt in my mind that Jeannine and Kayla and Brandon truly deserve to be part of the top four and in the finals of being voted America's favorite dancer.

As for the rest of the episode, three pieces that are Emmy-nominated from last season were performed: Mia Michael's "Mercy" piece, Tabitha and Napoleon's (or Nappy Tab's as they are affectionately called) "Bleeding Love" a searing hip hop routine performed by Chelsea and Mark, and Tyce's Adam and Eve piece.

Other than that, the episode was fairly boring. I'm ready for some high-energy, highly emotional choreography next week.
