Posted about 1 month ago I'll admit that I have been following this season with borderline obsession, however I do know that there are some other fans of the show on this site. What is your opinion on the top 4 (finale next week: 8/6 and 8/7), and your favorite dances from the season. Korina Anja |

| Posted about 1 month ago I too am addicted to "So You Think You Can Dance" and I've got my fiance' looking forward to the finale and the next season! He finally understands the power of dance. As for the top 4, I think "America hit the nail on the head"! My favorite two are Joshua and Katie. I'm inclined to say that I think Kaite is gonna win. She is such a powerful dancer. She expresses such passion and is so technical. It is such a treat to watch that girl dance! Ooohhh! It's gonna be a grand finale either way. Need Breeds Ingenuity! |

| Posted about 1 month ago Absolutely agree- Katee, Joshua, Twitch and Courtney were my choices for the top 4. As far as the winner- so torn between Katee and Joshua! The contemporary piece they did in the top 6, choreographed by Tyce Diorio is my favorite of the season so far! Korina Anja |

| Posted about 1 month ago Kar23, have you actually voted? I'm sad to say that I didn't but glad to see that the rest of America agrees w/me (us)! I am so torn over a couple of perfomamces that I cannot define my favorite. Some of my favorites performances were either Contemporary pieces choreographed by Mia Michaels or Hip-Hop pieces choreographed by Tabitha & Napoleon. Here are some of my favorites... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp4_MrE-i_8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0yLqaHt5Lw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0yLqaHt5Lw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv8XMUtan54&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqwO87mk9Vk&feature=related There are so many more but I don't want to paste too many. I get chills all over again watching these performances! Great show. :) :) Need Breeds Ingenuity! |

| Posted about 1 month ago I love the show. It is great to see young adults involved in dance. I loved to dance, but I can't anymore because of spinal issues and a foot problem, but I took dance lessons from the age of 5. One of my favorite classes in college was a modern dance class. we performed several times in a semester. Every year, the college had a competition where students from each class participated in a musical. "Hair" was my favorite. |

| Posted about 1 month ago Streg11, I had some formal training in Flamenco when I was younger and boy did I love it. Even still today, I'll blast the music and dance my a_ _ off! I love the feeling I get when I just cut loose and dance. What an amazing release! It amazes me how just watching dance can make you emotional. LOVE IT!!!!! Need Breeds Ingenuity! |

| Posted about 1 month ago I have actually created a spreadsheet listing all top 20, going through the weeks. The males have the YouTube links to the dances and the women have the style of dance- they are color coded to couples. Yes, I am a HUGE dork, and I am okay with this. Just bought my tickets to the live tour! Korina Anja |

| Posted about 1 month ago OMG! I am literally obsessed with this show. I am glad that someone is talking about it here. Certainly I would like to have the sheet that you spoke of. This is a very strong final four(or even six for that matter). When "my show" comes on, everything else has to wait. I don't know what it is, but the emotion that comes out of some of the choreography is just overwhelming. When Mia Michaels or Mary Murphy cries, I'm right there with them. I love Cat Deely. I can't see the show without her being in it. The choreography rocks. How they come up with this week after week.....? Thanks for bringing this show up on the forum. I have been a fan since day 1. |

| Posted about 1 month ago It's almost time ladies. Just 19 more hours (for me) before we get to see the finale!!! Where's the popcorn?! Need Breeds Ingenuity! |

| Posted about 1 month ago Well, not borderline obsessed... I was introduced to the show during the 'marathon' from last season, right before this one began. As to the top 4, I think Will got bumped because of Debbie Allen's perceived sponsorship and Nigel's comment that he "would not be out of place" with the Alvin Ailey dancers. Well, he wouldn't and best of luck to him. One has to remember that while this is 'live TV' all of it is edited and nothing is ever truly as it seems. Some of the dances are filmed prior to us viewing them... etc etc etc... I think Joshua and Twich are the sentimental men's favorites and I think if the voting went by 'heart' along, then Twich, being older and less schooled, may get the win. Conversley, Joshua, who admitted to early ballet and modern training (weren't you listening, Nigel?) is another 'heart' favorite because of his youth and obvious ability. There there are Courtney and Katie. Too bad Courtney was not better matched with partners early on... she is amazing... and the 'ballroom girls' like Chelsie never quite seem to make it to the win spot, do they? My 'girl' choice would be Katie, as she is an amazing. They have not found anything she does not do well, if not superlatively... not that Courtney is a slouch! But if you compare extensions and points and lifts.... Katie has it. Also, she was the one who almost gave up her spot to her best friend. Hard to top that, heartwise... It will be interesting to see what 'America' thinks.... millions of votes. Too weird. Why don't we have those kind of numbers when the Fair Pay Act is in Congress... which, by the way, it was a couple of days ago.... (heavy sigh)

| Posted about 1 month ago OK, I just had to check the official website and according to them we have 2days, 5hours and 8minutes to the finale! Whew! It airs on Wednesday. Need Breeds Ingenuity! |

|
| Posted about 1 month ago Okay ladies- tonight is the night! What plans to do you have to savor the first part of this two-night finale? I am watching it with a friend of mine (her home- HDTV and DVR- we can rewind dances and then fast forward comercials!) And macnabm- I agree with what you are saying: how do we get so many votes on a TV show, yet so few people seem to care about important issues (specifically effecting women) in Washington? This takes my mind off of what depresses me, although I did send a letter to my representative, got my reminder on that from NOW. Korina Anja |

| Posted about 1 month ago We find out tonight who the winner will be!!! Will it be Katee? Joshua? Twitch? or Courtney? My bet is on Katee, she has so much passion when she dances not to mention how perfect and effortlessly she moves. Gonna be fun! Need Breeds Ingenuity! |
|
|
| Posted about 1 month ago Agreed! Love Katee and Joshua! Twitch has always been a favorite of mine, but I just think Joshua out danced him last night! Courtney was strong- she is such a figher! But I just don't think she has it. LOVED Mia's "tartan" routine- although I wasn't a fan of many of the camera angles throughout the show- I felt like I couldn't really see what was going on.

| Posted about 1 month ago Where do I start? Love Cat Deeley. Love Mary's hot tamale train. Love Twitch, sentimental favorite, but I have to go with Joshua. Can you believe how insane it is that they never had formal training and they are doing what they do? Katee has the girls hands down. You could really tell it on the umbrella routine. Didn't care for that routine or the russian thing. I think it was the outfits. I don't know what I'm going to do on Wednesday and Thursday nights after this. It will definitely be withdrawal! Nigel is both part of American Idol and SYTYCD. He is a very happy guy all the way to the bank for sure! Oh, and Joshua is from Texas! |

| Posted about 1 month ago Only a few more hours ladies! My favorite dancer is Katee. I love the control and passion she exudes. However, the TEXAS boy, Joshua is a natural dancer. I'm honestly not sure who I would like to see win but I do believe that it will be between Josh and Katee. I guess we'll have more to chat about tomorrow! :) Need Breeds Ingenuity! |

| Posted 29 days ago Watchnstarz- your Texas boy is #1! Last night's performance was so entertaining- the top 20 group number, the "pop off", so many of my favorites where showcased from the season, all the best of seasons past- and who can neglect to mention Nigel's tap and Mary's samba with Dmitry?! I have to say, she looked good- in that dress and the dance itself! So many people I know can't get into the show because Mary annoys them, "what does she know about dance anyway?" Well, she just proved it there! Was so happy to see "Bleeding Love", "No Air" and the Vienesse Waltz last night. There were a few others I would I have liket to see as well- but it would have been very contemporary heavy... What were your favorites? Korina Anja |

| Posted 29 days ago Yes, the judges panel for this show all deserve to be there. The routine about the dead rabbit was a little bit spooky. I'd like to see Simon Cowell get up there and do on His show what these judges did. I have to admit, I was about to stroke when they took Katee out when they did. I never dreamed it would be two guys. |

| Posted 29 days ago I enjoyed the show last night too. I was happy that the routines for "No Air" and "Bleeding Love" were performed again. I was floored when Katee got booted but very excited that our Texas boy Joshua won. Good for him! The 50k to the runners up was a nice perk too. What is up with Kat's wardrobe? Poor girl, she is so beautiful and they dress her so terribly. Looking forward to the next season. Do any of ya'll watch Dexter? You do don't you Kar23? Need Breeds Ingenuity! |

| Posted 28 days ago Actually, have not seen Dexter yet- go figure. I figure that I have enough TV addictions as it is! I've heard great things about Dexter though! Sometimes I think they dress Kat like they dress for the stage or ice skating- something that is horrible close up but looks good from a distance. Squint at her dress- probably what it looks like under the lights and from the audience... granted they should also be dressing her for the TV audience! Loved the one shouldered grecian white gown- I think it was the result show for the top 6... that was lovely. Have to say though- no matter how horrible the dress- she always looks beautiful- nothing can outshine her there. Korina Anja |
