SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, SEASON 5, 1ST ELIMS

So contemporary dancer Paris and pop ‘n locker Tony are the first to go. I’m not all that surprised I have to say. She didn’t stand out to me at all, not during auditions (if we even saw her) and then not last night. And I thought his solos during auditions were clever and funny, with all the pulling out of the Nigel photos to “Someone’s Watching Me”, but as a mover, I just didn’t think he was all that compelling. He does have wit and charisma though.

Vitolio’s solo completely blew me away. I don’t know what the judges were on saying they didn’t see any character there. I thought he danced with great passion and is a really a stunning mover. I must have missed him during auditions because this is the first time I really saw him dance. I’m kind of glad he was in the bottom three just so I could see him. Ditto for Karla.

I love Luis Bravo’s Forever Tango! I forgot this is the part I really love about this show — seeing a different pro dancer or dance group each week during the elimination night.
