My predicted top 4. Photos from fox.com.
Last night was the announcement of the Top 20 on “So You Think You Can Dance.” What I hated about the episode was the complete lack of information on some of the favorite contestants, but I digress. Here is 411 on the dancers that will be featured in the first live show next Wednesday on FOX, at 8 pm.
The Dancers with High Potential, i.e. Predictions for the Final Four
- Thayne Jasperson- He’s a killer contemporary dancer from what we’ve seen of him, reminscient of Season 2’s beloved Travis. I think he’s going to go very far, especially on the votes of girls.
- Comfort Fedoke – Definitely the best hip-hop dancer I’ve ever seen on the show. Plus, she has personality, and the grace of a ballroom dancer. Did you see her do the foxtrot with Joshua Allen?
- Joshua Allen- So he might have lied about his previous dance training. It doesn’t matter. This guy is genuinely talented and thoroughly entertaining. His audition was one of my favorites this year, as was Thayne’s.
- Courtney Galiano- Not my personal favorite, but the family-oriented contemporary dancer exudes a spunky personality and is sure to become a judges’ favorite.
The Good Dancers Who Won’t Make It All the Way
- Stephen ”Twitch” Boss- It’s nice to have a guy who isn’t some immature kid; I really adore Twitch, the hip-hopper who lost his Top 20 slot to Hok last year. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a good SYTYCD track record, and he’ll eventually end up leaving during a week of tricky choreography.
- Kherington Payne- She’s got the looks, the talent, and the personality- I just don’t think the soccer-playing contemporary dancer will come off as likable, and she won’t pull in votes.
- Chelsie Hightower- A completely unmemorable ballroom dancer. Remember her? She’s the broke one.
- Mark Kanemura- He had an interesting and downright goofy interpretation of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” He seems to be a likable offbeat guy.
How the Hell Did They Make It Into the Top 20
- Susie Garcia- This over-sexified dancer leaves me speechless in a bad way.
- Katee Shean- She shot herself in the foot. The roommate girl may be pretty and a solid contemporary dancer, but her attitude will get her nowhere.
And The Rest
I have no idea who the hell they are. But I’m excited to see them dance! Some of them look talented.
