SYTYCD 4.6...

Before I go any further let me explain the above picture. My sister Jamie and Steve came up with this idea for a designated SYTYCD notebook for me. I'm a little embarrassed to say how this all came about but here it is. OK so I admit it the last few weeks I have been taking a few notes while watching SYTYCD. The reason for this is that by the end of a two hour episode sometimes I have a hard time remembering(I have a bad memory) all the dances. Since I've been blogging about it I wanted to make sure I didn't leave something out that I really wanted to mention. So anyway last week Steve noticed me writing something down and asked me what I was doing. When I told him he about died laughing. So of course he had to tell my sister and this is how my new "Official SYTYCD Judges Notebook" complete with attached pen and personal photo came to be. So there, the secret is out! I must admit it is pretty cool(thanks Jamie...I think?) I will probably never hear the end of it. So I broke in my new notebook last night and here is my recap...

This week the top four couples performed two routines each as well as their individual solos. We also got a little tidbit on each of the contestants regarding how they started dancing. Here are my(a.k.a. "America's Judge) favorites...

Courtney & Will's (Smooth)Hip-Hop Routine choreographed by Tabitha & Napoleon Dumo gets my gold. The song was "Like You'll Never See Me Again" by Alicia Keys. It was about being able to turn back time and spend one last moment with someone you love that you have lost. In this case it was a husband that had passed away. It was a very touching number and a great reminder to not take the people you love for granted and enjoy every moment you have with them because you never know when it will be the last.

Katee & Twitch's Contemporary Routine choreographed by Mia Michaels gets my silver. The song was "Mercy" by Duffy. It was about a guy and the pyscho ex-girlfriend that doesn't want to go away. It was a explosive number that used a door as a prop. There was also a pretty steamy kiss at the very beginning.

Courtney & Will's Samba Routine choreographed by Jean Marc Genereux gets my bronze. The song was "I Fell In Love With The DJ" by Che'Nelle. It was just a really fun, hip shaking number. I have really started looking forward to watching Courtney because she is so fun and usually does such a great job at all of her dances and this was no exception.

Chelsie & Joshua's Disco Routine choreographed by Doriana Sanchez gets my honorable mention. The song was "Everlasting Love" by Gloria Estefan. It was jam packed with extremely difficult lifts all of which these two pulled off amazingly. It was quite the work out for even tough boy Joshua and he was pretty much drenched with sweat(and out of breath) by the end.

My favorite solo was Will's(he was inspired to start dancing as a result of seeing Dirty Dancing) which he danced to "Get Up Offa That Thing" by James Brown. He was dressed like James Brown(including hair) and it was a real fun routine and tribute.

My prediction for who will go home this week is Comfort and Mark. I know I've mentioned who my top four are before but after this week Twitch and Courtney are among my favorites as well. So I think if Comfort and Mark go then any of the top six are contenders for the title. There are a few that stand out as amazing technical dancers and then there are those that dance from their heart. So I guess we will see how America votes.
