SYTYCD's 100th Episode!!

This episode, despite the travesty that was Katie Holmes' number, was entertaining and heart-wrenching. It was great to see Emmy-awarded numbers such as Wade Robson's the Hummingbird routine and the bench routine by Mia Michaels performed exquisitely by Travis Wall and Heidi Groskreutz from Season 2. Not to mention the group piece to Roisin Murphy's "Rama Lama Bang Bang" choreographed and this time PERFORMED by Wade Robson. He is a force of nature, with his detailed, precise and innovative choreography in many different styles from Jazz to Contemporary to Pop.

The show was a great marker of almost 5 complete seasons and 100 episodes brimming with dance, magic, love and wonderment. The talent that has come across that stage is truly amazing. And while now the voting is up to America, it seems that no one should be let go because all the finalists are extremely talented. It is at this point during the SYTYCD season that the voting comes down to who has more backing and who is more popular with the American public.

I was sad to see Jeannette go home, whom Mia Michaels and Nigel Lythgoe blatantly stated they thought she would win this season, but it seems that Kayla and Jeannine have more sway with voters. As for Melissa, despite a tepid Cha Cha with Ade, Tyce's "This Woman's Work" ensured that both of them would be remaining in the competition for next week's Top 6. I was just as disappointed to see Jason go home who is not only adorable and flexible and incredibly talented, but dances with such emotion, such conviction and drive, it is hard to turn away when he takes the stage. But again, I must reiterate that all of the Top 8 dancers are essentially on the same level when it comes to technique and talent, and now America just picks off who they like the least.

I know all SYTYCD fans are excited for what promises to be exciting choreography and the voting of the FINAL 4 dancers in next weeks episodes. As for me, I'm pretty happy since I already have tickets to see the SYTYCD tour when it comes to Boston on September 22, 2009 at the Agannis Arena. Presale tickets are on Ticketmaster right now, and are open to the general public tomorrow morning at 10 am.
