I thought Jessica deserved to go last night too but was glad Kourtni made it through. I thought Matt should have gone home from the guys. I thought the Pussycat Dolls sounded screechy and my 11-year old thought their outfits were horrible...LOL!

I felt sorry for Jamie. It seemed he took it very hard.

Jamie made me think of Pasha (sp) from last season - I loved him. Here's the cute hair-do

Yankee, I sent you an email to your TVCH yahoo addy. I'm not surprised Rayven went. I kept thinking "why is she not on pointe?" I think if she had been, she'd have stayed and Jessica would've gone (and I think really, she should've). And I agree... The PCDs sounded awful, performed awful, and I am not gonna rush out and buy their sophomore CD! Along with totally looking like they were lip syncing, the song just didn't have a hook like some of their other songs (Buttons comes to mind, as does Dontcha).

OMG, the PCD's were awful. That's the first time I've ever seen them, though I've read quite a bit about them. They looked like they belonged in a strip club (isn't that what they do in Vegas?). We FF'd thru them. This is our first season watching this show, and DH and I are having a hard time listening to the female judge (Mary something?). OMG, can that woman screech. Like nails on a chalkboard! We usually listen to whatever Nigel has to say, then FF thru the rest. Last night when she was having trouble with her microphone towards the end of the show, I joked with DH that they probably have to keep her mike turned down lower than everyone else cause of the way she shrieks. Is she SYTYCD's Paula?

While her voice is pretty annoying and she does like to scream and shriek, she's no Paula. I think she gives good feedback and isn't afraid to critisize. I respect her as a judge.

Mary is a much better judge than Paula but she is annoying. So weird to think that she comes from ballroom, which always seems so sophisticated to me. I watched an "E" show on the PCD and they started out as kind of a burlesque act...suggestive clothing and dancing but not "all the way." Then they got turned into a singing group. It apparently has been the "in" thing in Hollywood for actresses to come out and be a celebrity PCD in the past (the girl from "Samantha Who" was the roommate of the originator of the group and she used to perform with them...sorry I can't remember her name...Christina Applegate?).

I really hate that we don't have a Russian ballroom dancing hunk in tight pants to drool over this year. They need to include Moscow as an audition city next year! I will just have to keep my fingers crossed that Dmitri will choreograph this season.

Mary is well respected as a ballroom dancer/teacher. While I hate her screeching, she really does know what she's talking about and she's a good judge of dancers. Christina and Robin Anton (founder of the PCDs) lived together when Robin conceived the idea of a burlesque show. And honestly, I've enjoyed watching them perform in the past. I don't know whether it was just the song or the entire performance, but they really didn't look or sound nearly as good as they can. And FWIW, they are not and never were part of a strip club. Burlesque is an entirely different thing.

That's why I said they did burlesque. Their act is bawdy but not beyond that, from what I've seen. On the "E" special I saw I thought their act was really funny...but I think turning them into a "serious" music group kind of spoiled the charm.

And Anton's brother did that reality show but his hair salon and his name escapes me.

Oh yeah, Roxi. I remember that E show, now. It actually was a great show. And oddly, I did like almost every song on their first album. Just not last night's song (on their new album).

I wasnt that impressed with the poppers either. I was thinking they wouldn't have even made it to Vegas with that routine. Kudos to the talent picked for this show, they have set the bar so high that the 'talent' pales in comparison

Pamy I posted in your folder but us OC people have three we can root for.. Katee goes to Chapman University, Kherington is from Placentia and Twitch lives in Santa Ana! The PCDs were definitely not in good form or voice on the show and I agree, Pamy, that the contestants are so good that they are often more fun to watch than the guest talent. Mary made me crazy the first year but she knows what she's talking about, gives good/valid criticism and you can see how much the kids WANT to get her to scream or put them on the "hot tamale train".. anyway I've grown to appreciate her. She's definitely not a Paula.

Well, at this point I'm just trying to get DH to hang in there with me on this show and Mary's making it tough. He enjoys watching some of the dancers, but that woman's voice makes it nearly impossible to listen to what she's saying (or shrieking).
