I was with Heidi, too. I didn't mind the length, probably because I always think that the dresses are too short. I thought that the seed beading originality should have given him a leg up, although I liked the ombre skirt.

I agree. I thought it was wild that the thing that Nina concentrated on was the length of the skirt when it was obvious to me that he might not have pulled it off at all if it was longer. Doing all that work for that dress was no joke. He used the materials in an interesting fashion and didn't use anything that looked like cloth.

I liked the winner's outfit, but the one I thought should win had a greater challenge and showed more imagination in my view.

SYTYCD - At this point, they're all so good, it's going to be hard to pick the "best". It's like the Olympics, where 9.834 beats 9.833.

Yes, but I have to admit, I will be disappointed if anyone but Melanie or Sasha wins.

I'm with you, le nubian.

I want Sasha to win, but I think Melanie will, and I'm okay with that.

At this point, I love all four of them - can't they all win?

sigh ... guess not

I don't think I've ever been happier with a SYTYCD Top 4. Tadd is not up to the level of Melanie, Sasha and Marko, but he is amazing out of his style and I'm sure he's had way less training than either of the other 3 so what he is able to do is just damn impressive. I really would be OK if any of them won, but in my heart of hearts, I want Melanie to win more than anything. I thought her solo last night was so strong. Again. Sasha's solo was good but she seemed a little frantic. I wanted to tell her to go off and start again and just breathe into the performance and dance just for her. Caitlyn did a lot less hair flinging in her solo last night, but alas, too little, too late. The boys solos were solid but nothing spectacular from any of them.

Also, Mark! It's about damn time.

If Melanie doesn't win I will be shocked. She's led the whole way.

Let's fantasy-cast the top 4 dances with all-stars! Sasha and Mark get a Sonya piece, of course. Tadd and Joshua something hip-hop/b-boy hybrid? Is Christopher Scott too much to hope for? Then Marko gets LoFro, and Melanie gets Robert, which is a little lame for her I guess. Though Robert and Alison did have a nice contemporary piece last year, by Travis; maybe they could give Melanie and Robert a Travis piece.

Sonya has been disappointing me with her pieces this season, but I do believe she would bring it for Mark, so I co-sign on the Mark/Sasha/Sonya trifecta. I would love to see a really good hip hop with Tadd and Joshua. Christopher Scott could be good. I also think Dave Scott could come up with something fierce for them (although his work on SYTYCD has not been representative of his best). Honestly, I'd love to see Melanie and TBC dance together. Maybe they could get Mia to come back or Wade. I still think Mia's Message in a Bottle piece for Melody and Ashle way back in S1 is one of the best dances ever on this show. I think she could put together a killer piece for two powerhouse girls like Melanie and TBC. That would leave Marko with Robert and I do not like this pairing but that's going to be true whoever gets paired with Robert. Who choreographed the Kent/Neil piece last season? Not the baseball piece which I believe was Tasty and it was crap, the other piece where they were all angsty and kind of in love and throwing each other around the stage? Was that Peanut? Because that was fire. I could see Marko and Robert getting an angry piece they could dig into and tearing it up.
