SYTYCD Memphis Day Two
Jenna Johnson – Cha Cha Cha. Look at those legs. Killer! Oh, she’s everything. I loved that little develope at the beginning . And look at the booty. Legs. She’s killing me with the legs. I can’t even. Fantastic and sexy. Yes. That’s what I’m talking about. Landon is a great partner. Definitely Vegas material for next year.
Nobian Yarber – Those pants are ridonk. And you do not look like a hip hopper, baby. Not at all. And, Baryshnikov showed that technical dancers can show raw masculinity long before you were even born, sweetie. Now that we’ve taken care of that, let me just say, you are the realness. I don’t even have words for the vision you put down on that stage. I’ve rewound it and watched it twice already and I will watch it many, many, many more times tonight. Give me that flexed foot, child. I am dying. Born to dance. Here’s another one for Miss Debbie Allen to drool over. Yes, yes, yes. That’s how I like it. I like it like that.
Isabel Fryberger – Salsa. Nice. They could use a good salsa girl. She’s a great little spinner. But she’s a little bit static otherwise. She’s not very rhythmical. They have great tricks. That’s for sure. But she lacks hip action for me. She’s just kind of a trick factory. Mary didn’t like it. When she’s really excited about ballroom kids, she wants to send them straight through. And I agree with that. She’s not terrible but I’m not sold.
Caleb Brauner – Ummm. He exhausted me just in the pre-dance package. He seems the type who’d be funny for a second, but that would get old real fast. I do like that he had a well-choreographed piece. Sadly, he’s not that great at contemporary dance. He lacks finesse. Lacks a little flexibility. Gets by a lot on character work. His turns are very juvenile. I don’t think he’ll get very far although I’m sure they’ll put him through now that they’ve introduced his dance dad. And he was super sweet with his dance dad. Dance dads make everything better. Oh, and he’s a much better hip hop kid than he is contempo kid. He should’ve done that from the jump.
Men-tage – SYTYCD Chicken. Ha! Shark t-shirt owns just for dancing to Poison. White t-shirt has a center on him. Nice. Wayne Brady doing Lil C is hilarious. No shirt dude is mmm mmmm good. I’ll take it.
Larry Booze – The face is … what’s going on with his face? Is he high? Oooooh, fancy feet. I like it. The glides are insane. I don’t even know how that’s possible. Clever routine. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Made me forget about the busted face. Through to choreo, Larry Booze. Well done.
Jasmine Harper – Stay up out of her business. Ewwww. Did not like that intro at all. Luckily ,she can turn it out on her own merits. Like most of these kids, she’s in desperate need of a choreographer. But it’s not So You Think You Can Choreograph. I think I may have loved the end most when she just finished a turn in a perfect fifth position. Solid technique on this one, even though she was a little bit frantic throughout. We’ll see what Vegas brings. I hope we don’t have to hear about Cyrus every time she’s on screen. Let her rise or fall on her own merits.
