'Sleeper'

I had a strong negative reaction to the opening number. Am I the only one? It looks like the dancers didn't know their blocking well enough and there were too many pauses throughout. I thought it was poorly conceived and a poor use of the stage.
the opening number was terrible. the dancers were hesitant and abrupt in their movements. I couldn't tell if the stage use was poor because the camera work was so terrible (as per usual). I knew it was a Tyce routine because it sucked.
Was that Twitch dancing with LXD? That was hands down the best thing I've seen on TV in a really long time. I want to see that again! It just makes me even madder at the vampire cape/NappyTab crap that passes for hip hop on this show.
I didn't see Twitch. I saw Hok and Dominic, they're both part of Quest Crew, who were on America's Best Dance Crew.
Can I just say how much I hate Cat's dress? It's hard to think about anything else when I see it.
League of Extraordinary Dancers, so beautiful.
Was it me, or did she look really thin tonight?
Huh. Surprising.
I thought she looked skinnier than usual, also, but I think it's just the dress.
anyone watching "Launch my Line" - I did several double takes when watching the ep because I kept thinking Howie Mandel showed up to participate.
I was sure Ryan was going home, which would have been wrong like a wrong thing, because it would have meant he went home before Ashleigh. I still wish things had gone better for Nathan though.
Does anyone know anything about the tour? They haven't said anything about it this season.
I missed the opening act--I am guessing it's not worth searching it out?
I wouldn't bother, but if you're a completist.
I always enjoy seeing Qwest on my TV, but Snoop's performance was kind of a hot mess. And is the hook something about Obama? Because really, Snoop? Really? I think he's not exactly right for the demographic of this show. Shaking my head at the booty shakers.
Also, I read over on TWOP that it was not Twitch with LXD but Jamile from way back in S1. Awesome. Still loving that group so, so much. And I got to see Harry Shum again on Glee. Dancing and bouncing around on mattresses. Also awesome.
Nathan's solo was gorgeous again and Pretty Wings is one of my favorite cuts off Maxwell's new album. Such a beautiful dancer. It's a shame that he came off as a little snot on the show. I suspect he is not that in real life. I have to say that other than the Tween Terror, I'm really happy with this top 8. Even the Fug Princess has grown on me.
