Watch So You Think You Can Dance Finale
Watch So You Think You Can Dance season 5 Finale- Four dancers left tonight, the first part of the finale of So You Think You Can Dance. They have to dance in every permutation possible, do solos, perform a group dance and keep their cool as they do all this in front of a live audience of 3,000 people in the Kodak Theatre.
The judges’ panel for the evening is head judge Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and guest judge Adam Shankman. I’m thrilled to see Adam, who is funny, gives good and helpful feedback and is way more coherent than Lil C. (Sorry, dude, but alliteration doesn’t equal deep meaning.)
The first dance of the night is the aforementioned group dance. All four of them are working with Wade and Amanda Robson on a dance about jocks and cheerleaders that looks insanely fast. Well, it does in rehearsal anyway. The actual dance isn’t quite what I expected. It’s cute, but not the challenge or the memorable moment that a Wade dance usually entails.
The first couple of the night is Evan and Jeanine, who are working with Sonya Tayeh on a routine about a man who is trying to keep his woman from leaving, but she fights back. It’s … interesting, but I want to be totally in love with every routine tonight. It’s the finale! And so far, that’s not happening. Adam thinks it was great, but he says they are a bunch of “nevers,” as in, he never saw Jeanine coming and never saw Evan in the Top 4, and, “This season will never be the same without you.” He adds that Sonya did such a great job because it was entertaining and she choreographed to their strengths. Mary Murphy liked the two of them together, but says Jeanine stood out a little bit more and that she’s “emerging a little bit more each week.” Nigel says this is an enormous stage, so they have to up their game, and they did. He also doesn’t want to see Evan get thrown around the stage any more this evening.
