Fik Shun

That seems wrong.

THIS! And I love Fik Shun, he's adorable and has been game to try anything and mostly held his own when choreographers expect him to step up in most of the contemperary/jazz stuff.

But Paul is so good...I weep!

Strange, I can't vote. The site says it's closed, so I guess that's that.

I know! I AM CONFUSED.

ET talked to Sonya Tayeh today.

I do love Fik Shun a lot. I don't feel like I felt last year when Cyrus made the finale and I just thought he had needed to go weeks before then. I have enjoyed Fik Shun and I do think he's grown week on week. But Paul is just special. He has that star thing and he is so crazy versatile. His hip hop with Comfort blew my whole entire mind. I just think he deserved it more, and that's not to take anything away from Fik Shun.

Not that it matters much because I think Aaron is going to crush him (and probably would've crushed Paul, too). But still.

I did enjoy that both Paul and Hayley seemed totally at peace with not making the final performance show. Such graceful exits for the pair of them.

Ah, group dance. Jazz. Sean Cheesman. Ailey business. Jasmine and Aaron are ruling that center. Giving me life in that Judith Jamison way. Aaron is just a man out there. Fik Shun is doing it to it as well. I see you young man, giving me those contractions. Work! The less said about Hayley and Amy in this dance the better. Amy and her perma-smile in particular are just so wrong for this dance. Paul is keeping up better. He’s not pulling my eye in a negative way. I would’ve liked to see that routine with different dancers. I also would’ve like for it to be less of a direct rip off of Ailey. But apparently, I don’t always get what I want.

I think it was Hayley who had extreme FLAIL in this routine and I just about died laughing. Just so wrong.

oh my ... thank you, kat, for your write-ups - they help me keep track of some of the bits I miss. I did get the Ailey imitation in the opening/group ... it might have worked better if they'd done it with more than six dancers.

I join in the Aaron-crush group - he's really stretched himself. I think he should win - and Fik-shun, much as I love him, can't match Aaron's dancing. I'm betting on Jasmine to win for the girls - I never could tell Amy and Hayley apart.

But Fik-shun's solo - I thought maybe he'd managed to get some extra joints in his arms/legs/body and some of them were bending the other way than most people's.

1. I could happily live the rest of my life never again seeing Tyce DiOrio make a smarmy face and emoting about his choreography. He SQUICKS me.

2. JOSHUA! Still my favorite boo. That sweatshirt/giant belt combo was doing me no favors, though. I want that boy shirtless.

3. Alex! Shirtless! This was the first time I have ever found Alex sexy. Damn. Also, every single time I see him I think that they could do an all-stars version of SYTYCD and he would totally win.

I don't have that strong feelings about the current kids, but Fik-Shun sure is adorable and really stunning in his style, and who really needs to be able to foxtrot in life? I'd love to see him in 6-7 years, with more training. 18 is too young.

WORD
