PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I'm glad Ellen's here. I suspect Nigel's motives for having her on and right-next-to-him. Is he trying to win back the gay community after being such a jerk?

6. "RE: Group Number"
Nigel. Fantastic again, feel like a proud father. Love this look, very lady gaga. I don't normally like faces covered but the style stood out.

Ellen. I can do that. Second of all when Travis asked me to help with the wardrobe. We did Christmas lights and tangled up the extension cords but we anded up with this.

Mary. The dancing was great, the costumes was great and the choreography was great. Pick on a couple of people...nobody to pick on.

Mia. The first thing is I am beyond proud of Travis. He's got it going on. To you guys. You guys did a great job, want to wear the costume. I loved it I had a blast, thank you for that.

11. "RE: Janette and Evan"
That was fun.

Play NICE.

Nigel. Two little stars of this season. Personalities coming out. I am finally getting it. Janette you are wonderful.

Ellen. I can do that. Seriously it was hard hitting and fullbodied (the wine I had). Y'all were amazing.

Mary. It was a lot of fun, this is way out there and you did a really good job. Evan, You could have been a little bit rougher, but you were getting there. You didn't, the athleticism and the synchronization and the lifting, spot on. Nigel puts hand on her mouth and barks at Nigel. Sit on your degree or something. Janette you can't take a wrong step.

Mia. I'm going to say for Evan I think you made a step in the right direction, emotionally and character wise, you are a great stylist with this little mush face. That is the thing because you are so adorable you will never be a dark freakish dancer that Sonya, wasn't my favorite. Janette you are my favorite this season.

Janette looked really great during that. Not my favorite Sonya routine.... Evans jumps looked great. I agree that the part didn't quite fit Evan, but still.... he did ok.

118. "RE: Janette and Evan"
I think the problem that some may have with Evan is the same that some will have with certain actors. It doesn't matter what movie they are in, it looks like "A-list actor playing role" rather than "character in movie". I have that problem with Brendan Fraser.

So, you might project your expectations onto him which might influence the way you view the dance. At least, I think it does for Nigel, at the very least.

Not good.

26. "RE: Jeanine and Brandon"
Good thing they have another dance, egad this is going on forever and ever.

Nigel. That was an extremely tough routine, but it was so demanding as slow as it was. It was like pulling teeth, for insomniacs. It is controlled power and with that slowness you have to be under such control and I didn't get as much of the top 8 and two of my favorites, a little disappointed.

Ellen. I disagree with Nigel (crowd goes wild) Watching the two of you dance reminds me of (babbling) Vat is the hold up. You two are fantastic.

Mary. It is true it was slow waltz, probably the slowest one. It takes unbelievable control. Any professional would have a tough time with that tempo, you were respectable. There are some things I'd like to see a lot stronger. I would love to scream, respectable.

Mia. I'm going to say you weren't dreaming about birds and bunnies it would have been better. Because of the training I expected the space and the breath to be magical. Taken to another place. So many hiccups and stuck moments that it didn't take me away. It lacked, especially from the two of you.

I didn't see much waltz in that waltz with my untrained eyes - it was pretty in places. I don't think the music did them any favors....

For some odd reason I can only remember Ade and Evan.

You say Jason to me and I don't know him from a hole in the ground. Brandon? Brandon who?

I remember Phillip too but he's gone so it doesn't really matter.

Same with the girls. I don't really know their names other than Randi and that doesn 't matter and Kayla but only 'cause I hate her.

Brandon's the one that Mia used to hate.
Jason I finally learned who he was last week.

Janette I remember as the latin dancer
Melissa is the ballerina.

Jeanine and Kayla are fairly interchangable other than hair color.

All the remaining dancers received much attention during Vegas except Jeanine and maybe Ade.

Oh wait, this a Latin version of that Usher song.

Liked him in this better than her, but good.

Nigel. Great routine, lot of things you could show off with. Melissa you don't turn out a little too much. A lot of good sexy moves. Don't purse your lips when you are trying to be sexy. Let the movement do it. Ade great stature. Tall guy. It's there. You could have sizzled a little bit more.

Ellen. I have a question, are you two carpenters, because you nailed it. I loved it. It was great.

Mary. I thought the execution of the material was nailed, however, everything in slow motion, give us more time to focus on technique. Ade, your bum was perched up so high and need to drop it into the floor. The weight is not right. Not grounded and hard hitting. Why the feet were sliding. Melissa when not too turned out they were too turned in. When you put too much effort it goes away and it was just ateen bit below what I expected.

Mia. Ade, I think that was your worst performance. Kind of thrown all over the place, not getting down and dirty. Your movement is so thick it needed to get in there more. Melissa I understand breaking down the alignment, you did an excellent job.

Very nice.

Nigel. That style will go on and on. Beautiful to watch. Jason your feet were terrific. You reminded me of Gene Kelly around the stool. Kayla your lines are beautiful and you can do anything that is thrown at you. That was terrific for the pair of you. This is one of the best of this evening.

Ellen. I don't know what to say, these are good seats. didn't expect to judge. I'd like to invite you to the house to nail up some pictures.

Mary. Everything and I mean everything is he came up with a fabulous number with the two of you bouncing off each other. Jason cool and suave up there tonight. Kayla. There is a reason why you are riding first class. Pulls out a whistle.

Mia. I seem like the only sane one and that is scary. Love the piece, love the fusion and you did it amazing. Jason, I want you to work on your upper body. You have this thing that kills the line and I want to open your chest up. It was a great performance. Kayla, do you sing and act. You should. You will take Broadway by storm. If you ever decided to do the theatrical world you would be tony after tony. Gushes and Gushes and Gushes.

Holy Cross Promotion Batman!

Nigel. I've got to be honest I loved the choreography, hard to get votes with. Just smooth sexy routine. You have down pat Janette. It is your style, sensual feel. Evan there just didn't appear to be anything passionate in your face. You have heavy eyelids, you look drowsy. You have to open your eyes, have to be careful to perform with your face. Lacking a little bit for me.

Ellen. I know nothing, I think I love your face and eyes Evan. The problem in this town is everyone's face looks the same from the same doctor. your face is charming and you have an essence about you, you are a special guy. Janette I love you, you are amazing. Incredible.

Mary. I thought you did a really good job Evan. It was a slower rumba, you had a little more time and were on time, well connected, loved the thread the needle lift. Janette, little Miss fire and spice and flavor. Little Hot Tamale out there.

Mia. I am going to agree with Ellen. not everyone has to be the sex pot and stunningly perfect. You know what what you bring to the stage, not a lot of people bring that Evan. We love you. I don't know if I want to see him be sexy. You did it. You did it with a Zoolander face. Janette I said enough about you before. You are just tackling everything.

When Mia was talking about stunningly perfect they caught a shot of Nigel doing a dead Kermit move in his chair.

I actually interpreted the Dead Kermit move as Nigel's reaction to Mia's invoking God in
her judging of Evan. I thought Nigel felt her words had nothing to do with the actual
characterization of the dance. Please don't flame me, I'm not trying to start up
anything.

Flame? You certainly needn't worry about that from me! We're glad to have you here!

I'm glad that people had different reactions to that. And, to be completely honest, I'm not sure if I'm talking about the right time here. There was just one time where it looked like Nigel was leaning back in chair and, to us (my spouse and I), we thought he was saying "Oh g-d, here we go again!" and "You are totally ruining all my planning here". But that's just our interpretation. Diversity of opinion is good! Feel free to rank the dancers in the thread of the same name. *nudge nudge* *encourage, encourage* (maybe I overdid it with the smiles - doh!)

I do remember Nigel's "Dead Kermit" but I didn't/don't remember exactly when he did it. (I just remember chalking it up to exasperation. He doesn't have the luxury of the fast forward button.) But yeah. Your interpretation makes sense.

Two Idol songs in one show. And I really don't like this song.

Blech, mostly the song more than the dance, but blech.

Nigel. That is all I'm asking. Performances like that. you just showed them what we want. Thank you Laurie Ann for bringing a strong style. This is the flatest night until now. Jeanine you stayed with Brandon in a really tough routine. Brandon we know how strong you are and there it was. Hooray at last.

Ellen. I'm so happy you are that happy. I'm that happy too. You make it appealing to joing the armed forces, but you don't have any protection. Unbelievable Da-a-a-a-a-a-a-ancing. That is what that was.

Mary. It was strong, powerful, dynamic, you just hit it all the time. Can you hear it coming? Blows whistle. Screams.

Mia. I'm afraid to talk after all this. So she doesn't dance a step unless it comes out of her soul (Laurie Ann). Why she is my sister. You dance in a place that is more than dance, so believable. Brandon you are such a power house. Wow, and Jeanine to keep up, Wow. Wow. Wow Congratulations.

Too bad the song ruined it for me. I really hate that song.

Very nice.
*sniff*

Nigel. I think that has just showed me why I love dance so much because it can express so many emotions without use of words. I don't know as a choreographer where you get strength from to do a piece like this. If this isn't nominated next year I will be surprised. I think I have witnessed one of the most memorable routines. Touching and you said Melissa you can't be judged on your steps, you are right, I can't think of a better couple to have danced it. Ade your strength is incredible and allowed Melissa to do the jumps. Melissa your maturity allowed you to cary it off, incredible.

Ellen. I've been wanting to come see a taping live, the fact I am here this day, I am privileged I got to witness that the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Mary. This is taking myself back to a scary place. The fact you guys danced it so beautifully. Thank Tyce and being able to effect millions of people with the gift of love and hope. That vertical lift you made that look so effortless. Melissa in trusting Ade you just flew into his arms with full trust.

Mia. What an important piece of work. In tears. how many people have known people to fight it or not fight it and the journey you go on and that is the hardest thing and always about you being OK. I wish I had the strength you had in this piece for my Daddy. Melissa you are an angel you're already there. Not much more I can say but a perfect portrait, thank you so much Tyce Ade and Melissa.

The addiction piece hit a different emotion for me than this one. Same amount of emotion, just a different one.... The addiction piece was spooky, dark and controlling. Kayla was fighting Kupono and he would not let her go until she gave in. This one had more anger and a "why me" feeling to it... and support - Ade was supporting the battle that Melissa was facing.

Nigel. I love the fact MJ inspired. Shane brings something else. Really brought it out of you two. I can't believe Kayla you are doing this. When they first sent you to dance classes to end up like this. A little disappointed at the beginning of the show, over the last few routines knocked the ball out of the park.

Ellen All I can say is keep dancing like that and you'll have your own talk show someday. I loved it.

Mary. Oh my goodness my little puppy dog has the rabies. Did what Shane wanted you to do. Left clear pictures. Pure entertainment and screaming.

Mia. Shane that was my favorite piece of yours. It was awesome. I am twisted, I loved that strangle thing, disturbingly hot. Great performance from both of you.

I guess I haven't seen Ellen for awhile, but her face looked really thin. She did not look well . . . or healthy . . . something was just not right.

Now a question:
If they didn't explain the dance and the story behind it before they danced, would you have any idea what story the dance was trying to tell?

120. "RE: Seriously...I could do that."
Now a question:
If they didn't explain the dance and the story behind it before they danced, would you have any idea what story the dance was trying to tell?

It depends on the choreography and how well the dancers interpret the choreo and the music.

Melissa and Ade's Tyce Contemporary dance? Absolutely understood the story purely from how they danced. There was emotion, frustration, anger, fear, vulnerability and at the end, hope. Didn't need the explanation.

Contrast that with Melissa and Ade's cha cha cha. That was just steps.

I think sometimes the choreographers tell a story in order to get you in the right frame of mind for the dance but a really well danced program evokes emotion in the watcher regardless. So you can attach that emotion to a specific story, or you can tell a story through dance and then relate what you feel to a more concrete example, using words, and say, yeah, it's kinda like that.

125. "RE: Seriously...I could do that."
Well said, frodis.

There are, of course, lesser routines that can tell a story without explanation because they're more obvious. Like Mia's "Mercy" (door) routine last season.

It's important to keep in mind that these routines are a minute and a half long. That's why the explanation is most always necessary. If they can tell a (less obvious) story in that short amount of time, they're really something special. And we've seen that twice this season!

Tyce's "This Woman's Work" had everything frodis said it did. Could you tell specifics without the explanation (or the scarf)? Perhaps not. But I do think the general story was told brilliantly in that 90 or however many seconds because you could see all the different emotions. You could tell they were going through something terrifying and that he was trying his best to be her strength. When Tyce decides to do a truly emotive routine, he blows the rest away. IMO. And. You can't tell me he didn't ask for Melissa and Ade specifically.

Yep. In 90 seconds you certainly should be able to get across the emotion. Even if you don't get the exact story, it should be something where you can tell happy from despair and frustration from terror without the back story.

Even if no one ever says a story, the dancers will have a backstory to the dance (either given to them or one they made up) to help with evoking the emotion.

Now once you get props and lyrics in there that often give a big hint to the storyline of the dance and with more time for context and perhaps something like, I dunno, a set, the story may not need to be overtly stated.

Although stating what the story is can sometimes hurt as much as it helps. If you set up a certain expectation then you need to deliver on that. Like sometimes you get someone with a goofy grin on their face all the darn time and that can blow the mood of a piece if you know that isn't the right emotion.

And sometimes you get the absolute perfect routine with the perfect song (albeit the wrong version of said song), the perfect choreographer and the perfect couple to dance it and you get what we got last night... a bunch of people reaching for Kleenex and a hug left with a truly memorable, emotional and beautiful piece of work.

Katee and Will's pas de deux last year was like that for me. Perfect couple, routine, song (wrong version), choreography = emotional and powerful routine.

I think this dance might have been meant for F4 with Nigel thinking they would be there, but when both of them were in b4 last week, they moved it up...bc Melissa shd have been with Jason and Kayla with Ade no need for MelAde to be together again so soon and we know it's not random

gah. I know most don't share my Melissa love so I wasn't totally surprised to see her in the bottom. But Ade anywhere near the bottom of anything (unless it's something that I won't get into right now) is baffling to me. I can't decide who my true favorite is this season but I can tell you it's one of those two. They're beautiful dancers and they've been magnificent together.

Interesting thought that hadn't crossed my mind. Nobody else could have done that like they did. It was definitely meant for them. I wonder how long Tyce had been working on that piece or when the idea came to him? I've always wondered about that with this show. When do they come up with their ideas and put them together?
