Posted by nobody on August 4, 2010

So You Think You Can Dance continued tonight as the Top 4 danced for America's votes.

Judges this week include Adam Shankman, Mia Michaels, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe and guest judge Tyce DiOrio.


Lauren, Kent, AdéChiké & Robert


Style: Broadway
Choreographer: Tyce DiOrio
Song: from "Guy and Dolls"


Lauren Froderman


Partner: Pasha Kovalev
Style: Argentine Tango
Choreographers: Miriam & Leonardo
Song: Oblivion
Phone #: 1-888-6-BEST-01

My Thoughts
What a hot routine! Great choreography, well danced. It felt a bit slow at the beginning but then I really got into it.


AdéChiké Torbert


Partner: Lauren Gottlieb
Style: African Jazz
Choreographer: Sean Cheesman
Phone #: 1-888-6-BEST-02

My Thoughts
Wow @ Nigel being the nice one... haha. If AdéChiké showed the energy he did in the rehearsal package, it would have been better but it wasn't that bad. I don't think it was actually bad at all.


Robert Roldan


Partner: Anya Garnis
Style: Viennese Waltz
Song: Lost by Anouk
Phone #: 1-888-6-BEST-03

My Thoughts
I thought it was a beautiful routine. I didn't think Robert was fluid enough. It looked a bit under rehearsed, I could see him thinking a lot.


Kent Boyd


Partner: Courtney Galiano
Style: Disco
Choreographer: Doriana Sanchez
Song: "When Love Takes Over"
Phone #: 1-888-6-BEST-04

My Thoughts
Kent definitely doesn't know what Disco is. I thought it was pretty bad. I agree with Mia, it felt childish and definitely the worst from Kent this season. lol @ Nigel again being the nice one.


Lauren Froderman


Partner: Ade Obayomi
Style: Jazz
Choreographer: Sean Cheesman
Song: "Hide U" by Kosheen

My Thoughts
I really liked this. I thought it was great.


AdéChiké Torbert


Partner: Kathryn McCormick
Style: Contemporary
Choreographers: Dwight Rhoden & Desmond Richardson

My Thoughts
Kathryn just makes me smile. I didn't really connect with the routine, the music was kind of fast or something. AdéChiké's speech was really touching.


Robert Roldan


Partner: Dominic
Style: Hip-Hop
Choreographers: Napoleon & Tabitha Dumo

My Thoughts
Dominic and Robert as clowns is not really a stretch so it really worked. I really liked this.


Kent Boyd


Partner: Neil Haskell
Style: Contemporary
Choreographer: Travis Wall
Song: "How It Ends"

My Thoughts
I thought it was a really good concept but there was a part of the routine where they just broke away from the story and started dancing in unison which kind of took me out of the story and I kind of wished that the choreography stayed with the story all the way through.


And no Allison tonight? As if the show wasn't disappointing enough after losing Billy last week.

For me, Robert and Anya's waltz was the high point of the show. What a routine! But Lauren's Spider Woman was really well done as well. Both of these dancers are in my opinion maturing enormously over the season and show great promise. Again, I was struck by Adé's partnering. What a rock-solid dancer he is! Doesn't get enough recognition, in my view.
