'So You Think You Can Dance' Top 14 dancers performance


Cat Deeley wore a baked potato-worthy sheath of thwart to see what the top 14 had to give. It was distracting only because it made me starving for some starch. Previously the So You Think You Can Dance judges have been getting exacting about presentation and sharp routines. Sloppiness had cropped up a lot and they lastly broke. They took no prisoners last week with their critiquing. It was a step in the right direction as season 6 actually hasn't been that extraordinary since the elimination rounds began. The fear of being eliminated may hold some performers back, but that cannot continue if they hope to actually shine and survive.


Ashleigh and Jakob: Hip-hop performance

The stories in Ashleigh and Jakob's routines are forever good, but this time Ashleigh contributed similarly. They noted that the "evolution" of their company has gone from seduction, through marriage and now into infidelity. It's attractive that their performances mature as their partnership goes on. They did a kickass hip-hop number that I would've loved to have learned…and been able to execute properly. But I digress - they weren't jointly at all times but the camera angles could've been the culprit. I also am dying to really cheer for Ashleigh for some reason, but this time it's easy to find some strengths (special note, she performed much better). Jakob is just Jakob, always spot on and showing that spark you cannot teach. It didn't hurt that they tore it up to "Whatcha Say" by Jason Derulo (sampled from "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap - yeah the song from "The OC" episode where Marissa shot Trey). She really was the one that maintained my concentration for once - it had to be the fact that she's not an "ugly cryer" and her whole routine focused on her strong emotions of anger and being scorned. Score one for Ashleigh.
