Fruitbat - I tend to agree wholeheartedly with about 90% of your posts but not sure what you mean by Heidi's limitations? and her face?? Imo she is the best dancer there and one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen (and no, I don't know her, and she didn't pay me to say that, lol)

Mocha, remember there is only ONE winner, not one male and one female. Last year it came down to Nick, Melody, and Jamale(sp?) as the final three, with Nick the winner. I wish Melody and Nick both could have won....it somehow seems appropriate for this show to have both male and female winner. And I STILL want to see Nick and Melody perform at least once this season...they were DYNAMITE!!!

Buggles, Lyrical and the softer comtemporary styles are Heidi's limitations. She did a good job with Travis but the choreographer pulled her through it and she shed tears because it was so difficult for her. Her solo's are ballroom without a partner. We don't see her use much of the stage, do a flip, splits or get down on the stage. They are always sharp and snappy. I don't like her facial expressions. She contorts her pretty face and appears like a comic or clown most of the time. It is mugging, basically and it just looks tense to me. She is too perky for my liking. I don't think a dance troupe of production would hire Heidi if she has trouble with soft flowing movement. How much ballroom do we ever see out there? Most of it bores me. Clearly I am in the minority. Heidi has a huge fan base and I expect to see her standing next to Benji as final 2. I would have prefered Alison and Travis.

Fruit, I'm with you in that minority. Allison had been my favorite since the beginning - she always seemed to nail whatever style she was dancing. I was hoping for an Allison/Travis finale. I also can't get past Heidi's weird facial contortions. And Natalie is too emotional for my tastes. Always seems to be weeping or on the verge of tears. (probably just editing, tho) So I guess Donyelle is now my favorite of the women. I can see her dancing and fitting in well with Celine's show. Benji is too....cheerleader perky?...for my tastes. Would definitely go to see him in a Broadway-style show, tho... Ivan is a great dancer, but just not experienced enough to take this thing home. I also love Travis and will still hope that Travis makes the final 2.

Help! does anyone have the clip of the girl tapper that auditioned and had the funny non facials? The one that just stared at the judges and they said she had a "stalker " look to her?

Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | natalie and ivan contemporary nigel - no chemistry - shows ivan's limitations although he has grown so far - but shows his lack of training since he is hip hop dancer; natalie a mask on her emotions mary - not a great performance, just ordinary mia - "where is the magic people" natalie amazing dancer but it feels so false to me from your face - contrived. ivan lack of training and technique looks like these two are being set up to go home this week |
