Hey guys. Welcome back. We've almost reached the home stretch as it's down to the Top 6. Let's see which dances shined and which stunk.
First up, Valerie & Ricky with this Broadway dance choreographed by Spencer Liff to “I’ve Got the World on a String” by Ole blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. This dance was very elegant and graceful, like the other Broadway dances this season. But, this one was more slow and Ricky was the better of the two; his leg lifts and kicks really make this dance. Plus, the jump through the swing was also cool. Val was fine here, but couldn’t keep up with Rick on this one. But great job for these guys.
Up next, Jessica & Casey do a Disco ditty to Donna Summer’s “Dim the Lights”. Boy did I love it. The spinning, twirling and grooving were super amazing. And the Dirty Dancing-rise and spin near the beginning was astounding. They did a super, neato, groovy, far-out job! I know that Disco is dead, but when you bring it back in the right way, and show out, then it will turn out to be an amazing revival ahead.
After the 3-minute switch, Jacque & Zack took to Foxtrot for this
-penned dance to “Anything Goes” by Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga. It was really nice here. Zack brung it again. The chemistry was warm and inviting. The split at the end was sup--I mean wonderful.
Later on, Valerie and All Star Stephen Boss aka TWitch perform a
Hip-Hip bit to “Yeah!” by Usher feat. Lil Jon and Ludacris. The strange thing about this set is that both dancers aren’t wearing skin-tight costumes; their dressed as a couple that just got married. But that was awesome nonetheless. The legs part was steamy, and when Val ripped off the gown, things got steamier. Especially when she did the “Milk the Cow” bit. Like I said last week, TWitch can do any dance and slay it. Jessica did better here than in her last dance earlier.
Jessica later paired up with All-Star Ade Obayomi to do an...odd Ray Leeper-Jazz routine to “Boneless” by Steve Aoki, Chris Lake & Tujamo. It really was odd. The grungy costumes look like they come from the Lisa Frank catalogue
the moves were very iffy, and just ended up a fascinating mess. I’d be lying if I said I loved it, because I didn’t I did love the song, though; that shit is tight!!
Next, Ricky & All-Star Anya Garnis dance the Cha-Cha-Cha to “(La La La) Dare” by Shakira-ra-ra. It was a nice one, but I didn’t like it that much as the others.
Casey & All Star Mackenzie Dustman perform a Stacey Tookey-Contemp dance to “Over You” by Ingrid Michaelson feat. A Great Big World. I love the chemistry and emotion between the dancers, plus the physical contact they share is impeccably sweet. And that hold between the legs was awesome.
And finally, Zack and All-Star Du-Shaunt Stegall aka Fik-Shun perform a Hip-Hop rappin’ dance by Phillip Chbeeb to the Unlimited Gravity Mix of Awolnation’s “Sail”. And right from the beginning, it was awesome-sauce. The way they do these moves, the same moves, and match each other or do the move after the other finishes is astounding. Zack killed it, and Fik slaughtered it. I can’t explain more because it’s just so breathtaking to watch. So I’m watching this again, as I name this my Favorite Dance of the Week.
Now time for the really crappy eliminations:
Leaving This Week are--
Casey Askew & Jacque LeWarne
Maybe this week isn’t so crappy. While Casey didn’t deserve to leave, Jacque was very mixed this season and wasn’t as good as some of the male dancers she was paired with this season. She did have really nice legs, though.
Okay folks, it’s closer to down to the wire here. We’re down to the Final 4. Who will go home and who will leave the competition as America’s Favorite Dancer. We’ll see next week at it’s regular time...hopefully. Goodnight, folks!!
