Top 8 Review
Okay, time to review... Blah. So yeah. I'm drained, so I won't write much. Yeah...
Danra/Sanny Argentine Tango: Um, soooooo the sex. Gawd, that was friggen' amazing... The pretzel thing??? DAMN GIRL! And the prevideo was hilaaaaaaaaarious.
Domren/Lauric Krump: Yeah, it didn't do much for me. It just wasn't as hard hitting as I picture Krump being. And, I'm sorry, but Nigel commending Lauren for falling just didn't feel right to me... I kind of agree, in that I think it was a good move on her part to do that roll thing back off the floor instead of just plain falling... But it made me think back to when Allison dropped her hat during Bye Bye Blackbird with Ryan, and she made it into part of the dance. Both are *sort of* along the same lines, but Lauren's involves an issue with the dancing, rather than the wardrobe (Which really can't be blamed on Allison). And I know I'm getting ahead of myself ere, but then Allison dropping her hat made me think of Danny dropping his hat tonight, which he could have done more with. I know it was Hip Hop, not Broadwaym so it's harder to just pull a face and play it off, but something about what he did just made it even more obvious to me that it was unintentional. But it was good safety wise to get it off the stage. I dunno. Anywho, Krump tonight = mediocre for me.
Laceil/Neicey Latin Jazz: I have mixed feelings here. I actually agreed with everything that the judges said, but, even so, I was thinking, "Whoa, that's harsh..." And I really enjoyed the dance. The connection wasn't really there, but I still loved it. It made me think of Mia's "earthy" Jazz last season.
Pashra/Sabsha Broadway: I loved it. I thought they were great tonight. Now, I love Pasha, but the thing about him is that he does amazing partner work... He's always there for the girls, and he's strong in his dancing, but he kind of blends into the background sometimes because he's making the girls look SO good (Not that Sara nd Sabra can't do that for themselves, of course). Oh, and LMAO... Ally, Ora... I litterally started cackling when they did that move that was used in The Lioness Hunt. *wink wink*
Danra/Sanny Hip Hop: Okay, as soon as they walked on, I wanted to STRANGLE the wardrobe people... Um, WTF guys... Not okay to make ANYBODY living or dead wear that shit, especially not my favorite guy (Who's left) and girl... I agreed with everything Adam said to that effect... But, otherwise, I dunno what the schnizickel the jidges were talking about, cause I thought they were hot. They were totally on it 100%, and, frankly, the essence of what Nigel said to Sara was, "Come on, Sara, this is your style... How dare you not suck at it more to make your partner - who also kicked arse in this routine - look better, despite the fact that we keep stressing this as a SOLO competition now..." I was like, um, Nigel... Why does your bashing sound like it should be praise??
Domren/Lauric Rumba: Another 'meh' routine for me. I thought that Dom did infinitely better than last week, and God knows their costumes were preferable... But it really was a whole lot of posing, and not much dancing. Plus the song totally brought me back to last season and the Benjelle Montage/First Video Montage that I made to that song. AND, UGH, THAT KISS!!!!! *Smacks Dominic Non-Sexually* No kissing Lauren instead of Sabra, got it???
Laceil/Neicey Contemporary: *gets teary* Now, please don't kill me for this, but the dance, itself, didn't impress me that much. I thought they danced it amazingly, and the story behind it (Along with all the tears) was successfully DEPRESSING, but I was surprised at the judges' comments. I didn't, by any means, expect them to bash it... First of all, because it was well-executed, and secondly 'cause, um, how the heck could you say something bad about that when you know why Mia choreographed it??? I just don't see it as one of those routines that will be looked at as one of the greatest on the show. I thought it was really good, but the chorography just didn't serve it as one of those mindblowing routines I'm used to getting out of Mia.
Pashra/Sabsha Quickstep: I love it, seriously. There were little bits that obviously weren't perfect, but I thought they killed it. For me, they and Sara/Danny were the best of the night. Plus, Pasha looked like Jack Skellington... Which automatically makes it cool.
Moosey's Top Four (Of the night, but also overall): SARA, Sabra, Danny, Pasha
Moosey's Bottom Four: Lacey (Though I want her in my Top Four, too... She's, like, a hair behind Sabra), Neil, Dominic, Lauren
Send Home: Dominic (Or Neil) and Lauren
If Sara leaves, I will die.
End of story.
Peace and Love!
