So You Think You Can Dance 4: Finale Tonight

And my choice for the Season Four winner on So You Think You Can Dance is the one and only Joshua Allen.
Joshua’s got the moves, the grooves, and the proper attitude, plus he’s the only dancer this season besides his original partner and fellow Top Four finalist Katee Shean to have never appeared in the […]

So You Think You Can Dance 4: Jessica Gives Up

According to the news storming the Internet yesterday (which is why I’m only writing about it now — I like to wait until the other gazillion websites get these so-called “breaking news flashes” out of their rush-to-be-first system), So You Think You Can Dance contestant Jessica King has suffered an injury so major, […]

So You Think You Can Dance 4: Round of Fourteen

Following my complaints last week regarding how uniform the judges’ commentary has seemed this season, I had my killer line all prepared for this week’s write-up: “And joining the echo chamber at the judges’ table…”
Thankfully, the judges stole my thunder this week when they delivered useful critiques of each couple that showed they were paying […]

June 26th brought the third round of eliminations on So You Think You Can Dance, which focused on the following Bottom Three couples:

So You Think You Can Dance 4: Round of Sixteen Overview

I learned two things on last night’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance. First, this season, we don’t have three independent judges assessing each performance but rather a tripartite unit that thinks in unison for the most part. This is why they all say basically the same things at the end […]

So You Think You Can Dance 4: Round of Eighteen Eliminations

So long, Susie Garcia and Marquis Cunningham!
The June 19th second round of eliminations on So You Think You Can Dance weren’t all that surprising. The bottom three couples were:

Chelsea Traille and Thayne Jasperson because the judges complained mightily about their failure to execute their routine effectively
Susie Garcia and Marquis Cunningham because they […]

So You Think You Can Dance 4: Round of Eighteen Overview

The dancing on last night’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance was surprisingly non-entertaining. Although the judges — regulars Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy, along with contemporary specialist Mia Michaels — faulted the competing dancers for most of the drudgery, I thought the lackluster choreography was the true culprit on several occasions. […]

So You Think You Can Dance 4: Round of Twenty Eliminations

Well, the first round of eliminations came and went last night on So You Think You Can Dance, and it was a fairly predictable event in terms of which couples received the fewest votes from viewers and ended up in the Bottom Three.

BOTTOM COUPLE #1Rayven Armijo & Jamie Bayard

I completely agree this couple […]

So You Think You Can Dance 4: Round of Twenty Overview

After watching the first round of finals competition on this season’s So You Think You Can Dance, I have to agree with the judges that the dancers have been getting increasingly solid out of the gate as the years have gone by. Of particular note are the hip-hoppers, who now seem to have virtually […]
