So You Think You Can Dance Season 5: Episode 6 & 7 Recap (W/ Videos)

The judges had been so rough that I thought no one would ever pass the high standards that they have set. It even reached the point where I thought it's impossible to please these judges! But I have to commend them for everything that they have done because just look at the top 20 dancers that they've chosen for us! They were ridiculously fabulous dancers!

Episode 6: Ooh the very first performance night. My favorite dance was Phillip's and Jeanine's hip-hop routine choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo. They were so great that they have set a very high standard to match for the other dancers.

Jeanine & Phillip: Hip-Hop
Choreographers: Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo

The one that came second was the jazz routine choreographed by the genius Wade Robson for Ashley and Kupuno. They crash-test dummies, one is new and the other one's kinda old and rickety. It was a routine that would be a talk of the town, I tell you!

Ashley & Kupuno: Jazz
Choreographer: Wade Robson

Episode 7: They were all good dancers, but the judges had no choice but to dismiss one girl and one girl from the competition. Six contestants had to battle it out in their solo routines to secure their spot to go on to next week's episode. They were Jonathan Platero and Karla Garcia, Asuka Kondoh and Vitolio Jeune, and Tony Bellissimo and Paris Torres. I did expect that these two people would end up being cut off because, Tony, for one, wasn't that a good dancer. Two things that brought him to the top 20 was his good looks and interesting personality.
Paris, on the other hand, was a very strong dancer, but I think she lacks charisma. When they were doing their introduction dance routines at the start of the show, she got a very feeble applause from the audience. It was kinda awkward. Plus, forgive me for saying this, but she's got such a long chin. It's scary.I'm so excited for next week's episode! I'm really rooting for Phillip and Kayla! Haha.
