The second season of Breaking Pointe premieres tonight on the CW! I love this show.

Cat looks like an actual sunbeam tonight. It makes me happy.

SYTYCD! Knowing that Nigel was on my flight winging his way to attend JTF's wedding made me love him just a little bit more.
I on,y saw half of the group dance with sound so I really can't call it, but what I did see looked good.
Solos - Much better from the kids tonight than any other night this season. That would be a theme on the night. Mackenzie and Alan were particularly strong. Great music choice from Mackenzie. Mariah was fierce and BluPrint is ridiculous in his own style. Curtis was definitely the weak link here. Seems like he kinda gave up.
I hate watching the show while traveling because I can't take notes like I'd want to. Terrible week for it, too, because there were two stand out routines, the first ones this season that I felt were really special...Jenna and Tucker's contemporary (Go, Peanut!) and Amy and Fik Shun's jazz (Dammit, Tasty put his foot in that routine) and most of the others ranged from passable to very good. Just my luck for the show to wait to have its best week of the season when I'm DVR-less.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, those were both great. Good job on the quickstep, too! I was so mad at the Chris Brown song, I don't even remember the piece or if it was any good. Sad to say good bye to Mariah, though.

Tice went back to the Triplets of Bellville sound track again and again, did good.
I think everyone was being kind about that quickstep. I love those two, but it was as slow as the jive earlier.

Totally put me in the mind of the Chuy and Sarah Triplets of Bellville piece. And any time Tasty can make me mention one of his routines in the same breath as a Wade piece, that means he's on his game. I just found the piece so clever. And Amy is a marvel. Dancing through the tippy toes, literally sometimes!
I thought Jasmine and Aaron got through that Quickstep on charisma and charm more than anything else because the posture was not good and, as quester notes, it was kinda slow as hell for a Quickstep. And there was a lot of not Quickstep in that Quickstep. But they oozed sassy and they have mad chemistry and Jasmine was giving me Lady Day realness and Aaron is just a man up there on that stage and so they sold me on it.
I was sad to see Utah krumper go because I thought she brought it in her solo and I just dig her but honestly, Mackenzie's solo was better and both she and BluPrint got crazy heavy footed at the end of that B Free jazz number. I definitely feared that last lift was going down. Mackenzie was straight up better than her tonight. I'd have sent Curtis home over BluPrint. He surprised me in that jazz piece and his solo, as always, was flawless. But I guess they didn't want Hayley to trade down in partners. Better the devil you know and all that.
