Kim & Sasha - Jive
Dance: "You Can't Stop the Beat" from "Hairspray"
Poor Kim has stress fractures in her ankles. She begged Sasha not to change the choreography because of it. She was warned that she should sit out rehearsals, but she pushed through. I've gotta hand it to her, that dance was fasst and so many steps. She did a great job. She had some great kicks, but her legs did look a little sleepy and not as strong throughout the whole dance. Overall though, it was pretty great. And with all the troupe dancers, it really was a Broadway production. Years ago, this could pass for a finale freestyle.
Score: 24
Von & Witney - Jazz
Dance: "Bad" by Michael Jackson
This is going to be really interesting. Look at that cool swagger! This actually suits him really well!! There might just be a little Michael in there. You could tell he was loving this choreography. He was really smiling. Usually you can tell he's just really focused, but I think he was letting loose and having fun. Good job, Von!
Score: 24
Jodie & Keo - Contemporary
Dance: Pink's "Try" video
Her injury looked so painful! Keo came down with his full weight on top of her ankle - right smack on the hard floor. Then not to mention getting smacked in the face. Poor girl! Keo, stop beating this poor girl up. Right away she was worried she would be done dancing. Luckily, it was only a deep bone bruise. This video was incredibly cool and so difficult. I can't wait to see how they pull this off. Right away, I recognized a lot of the dance moves from the video. They even incorporated the colorful powders that were on the mattress when he throws her down. She really threw herself - and Keo - into this dance and it was a great follow-up to her awesome dance last week. She brought all of the emotion into this and it was great! You could feel all of the angst and tension with every move. I'm glad Keo was able to step up and make this a great routine. Loved it!
Score: 25
Paige & Mark - Jazz
Dance: opening scene from "Austin Powers"
Poor Mark. They pulled his song and dance style at the last minute and he had to start over. I don't care what he had before, because I literally can't WAIT to see him as Austin Powers. Everyone knows that character and that opening dance number is so iconic. This is going to be so awesome! Oh...my...goodness! I'm dying...he IS Austin Powers! I want to watch Paige, but I can't stop staring at Mark! Paige made a great Heather Graham. Mark is totally nailing the faces! Holy crap! Paige wanted to show off her athleticism and she sure did that. They did a huge cheerleader toss at the end and she kind of did a spread eagle. It was awesome! That was so much fun!
Score: 28 (10 from Len!!!)
Nyle & Peta - Quickstep
Dance: The Mask
The mask is great, but you can't hide that beautiful face of his! If I didn't know better, I would say that's Jim Carrey out there! He's a perfect combo of Jim Carrey and Helio Castroneves who also danced to this dance in a yellow suit. That routine was one that will always be remembered. I think this one could be as well. I think Nyle might have been a little too cocky about this one. He got a little wild on his throw spins of Peta, but man was it entertaining! Wow! That was so fast!!! I hope the judges liked it. I'm afraid it might have been too fast for him to keep the technique on point. He totally brought the character to life. Awesome as always.
Score: 25
Ginger & Val - Jazz
Dance: "Nasty" by Janet Jackson
Interesting. If I remember right, Val and Tamar did Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation". He must really like Janet Jackson. She nailed all the moves, but I think she was a little too sweet to be nasty Janet. Those guys were hot, though! Great routine! What's a girl got to do to get a guy squad like that?!
Score: 24
Doug & Karina - Bollywood
Dance: "Jai Ho" from Slumdog Millionaire
This is one of my favorite Pussycat Dolls songs. I love watching Bollywood. I don't think I'm going to particularly like seeing Doug do it. But maybe he will surprise us all. Look at Doug go! He's got the right hand placemeents. He's even got some speed going! He looked a litle silly, but I think he wasn't doing too bad. Gotta hand it to him for really going for it. It wasn't perfect, but it was fun to watch!
Score: 21
Wanya & Lindsay - Jazz
Dance: *NSync's "Bye Bye Bye" from the VMAs
YES! This is going to be awesome! Couldn't they clear the original version of the song? Come on! At least they didn't totally ruin the song. Wanya was owning those boyband moves! I loved the opening with their heads on the video screens. Very cool routine! And look Lance and Joey are there to give him some love. That was awesome!
Score: 29
Antonio & Sharna - Jive
Dance: prom scene from "Footloose"
Perfect dance for the lovable and fun-loving Antonio. He got those feet really moving. Definitely had those classic moves from the movie - and even included the glitter confetti! He was maybe a little too "loose", but man, did he have a good time and give an awesome performance! That was so much fun! I hope he had enough kicks and flicks to satisfy the judges.
Score: 27
