So, like I mentioned last night, it really wasn’t that amazing. I thought a lot of the people who should have been on didn’t get to make it to the So You Think You Can Dance Top 20. The people who filled their places got their on personality which I disagreed with because they suck. I’m just bitching about Kelli Baker and Brandon Bryant still. Oh, and the Gene Kelly guy, Evan Kasprzak. I guess everyone can’t be a contemporary dancer.
So who were in the bottom 3 for the first week of So You Think You Can Dance Results show?
Rayven Armijo and Jamie Bayard who started off the top 20 show with a comedy hip hop routine. Bad choice. It wasn’t spectacular enough for a show opening. And when you pick hip hop, I don’t care what style you are, it’s a crowd pleaser so you have to kill it. I blame it on the choreography. You dance what you were given.
Jessica King and William Wingfield who did a tango routine. I have absolutely no idea why they were in the bottom 3. They had style and panache. They danced a style that gets votes. And William Wingfield is a front runner. They should have gotten votes. They were actually one of the couples I could stand last night.
Kourtni Lind and Matt Dorame who did a jazz routine. Although I didn’t love it, I didn’t hate it either. I just thought for some reason, Matt Dorame was showcased more and it wasn’t even. I didn’t get Nigel Lythgoe’s criticism that they Matt Dorame needs to have more personality. I think while he’s not very vocal, he’s a hottie. He should get votes from fangirls. And because of the choreography or camera work, we really didn’t see Kourtni Lind do her stuff.
Anyways, onto the solos. I thought the guys all brought it. The girls, not so much. Rayven Armijo disappointed in her solo. Nothing spectacular and didn’t bring her ballet A game. Jessica King wasn’t memorable either. Kourtni Lind did well but I think it’s because she can choreograph her routines well. Rayven got the axe and I don’t know if that influenced her partner’s departure as well. All things considering if Matt Dorame and Jaime Bayard gave equal solos, then you don’t break up couples. Jamie Bayard got the boot too.
That’s all for this week of So You Think You Can Dance Season 4, first results show. Until next week!
