I'm really not happy about Janette leaving. She was in my top two females with Jeanine.

Count me in as one who's favorite girl was Janette. I thought she would definitely be in the finals...and maybe could take the whole thing. I'm not sure who I'm rooting for at this point. I think Brandon is my favorite of the guys left. Not sure about the girls now.

Is it time to say again that Cat is awesome? She seems so sincere when she not only hugs but holds on to the kids. I have never seen a hist quite like that who is so physically generous. She is terrific !!!

K Holmes was so blah compared to Judy Garland doing that number.

I didn't like Katie Holmes at all. Seriously. I am so bummed that Janette went over Kayla. America got it wrong. I also like Ade and Melissa. Evan seems like a nice guy but he is so limited in what he can do.

That Katie Holmes number was a waste of time that we could have been watching more of our favorites. I think any first year student could have done those moves, and her voice ain't all that. On a show that judges and celebrates dancing, that fell flat ... with a big thud.

Wow, Nigel must be getting a load of crap over the Katie Holmes number. He's very defensive on twitter ... dizzyfeet Why hate on Katie? She's had no dance training and did this for publicity for the charity. Everyone lip synchs when they're dancing. MJ too 19 minutes ago from TwitterFon dizzyfeet I'm going to ban all the Katie haters. You make me sick. Your attitude stops 'stars' doing charity work. Understand why she did it CHILDREN 12 minutes ago from TwitterFon

I haven't watched this show all season until this week. I thought the weakest dancer was the girl who did the stiff salsa and the weak solo (Melissa?). Her partner was probably the least impressive of the men as well. When I saw that breast cancer number I knew the heart strings factor would keep them in over the better dancers, though. That's too bad. Granted, that's an opinion based only on one night's performances. Perhaps Melissa and her partner have been brilliant all season long and just had an off night. I forgot to tune in to tonight's results show, but from what I'm reading here it sounds like it's just as well.

I wasn't shocked about Janette, surprised, but not shocked. I think Kayla's solo was much stronger as were many of her performances. I was very surprised that Jason left, and more surprised that Brandon was at the bottom. I was thinking, though, that maybe a lot of people voted for Melissa and Ade bc of their brilliant number that Tyce DiOrio's choreographed, so maybe some of Jason and Janette's previous votes went there. It's hard to say, they all seem to be at the same level to me. Here's a clip of Tyce's number. SYTYCD 7/22/2009: Melissa and Ade #2 ("This Woman's Work") I liked this show, the opening number, the previous routines--loved seeing them again. The Katie Holmes number seemed out of place; it was for charity, it was okay. I was thinking, though, it would have been nice to see Rosie's Broadway Kids on the show, they dance, they sing, they'd be great guest performers on the show. Here's more pics from Wed.

Kat actually said...One of the biggest stars of the silver screen, Katie Holmes. Are they all Scientologists?

I took the whole Katie Holmes thing with a large grain of salt. They were pushing their charity effort and I just let it go at that. Now, as for the outcome of the eliminations. I can't believe how big Evan's fan base must be but it obviously is very big. On the whole Jason probably wouldn't have lasted much longer so maybe in the final analysis it won't make any difference that he went home before Evan. Janette being eliminated is just tragic to us. We really liked her and thought she'd make it to the final four. Of course we're not talking "best" or "better" dancer here as we're now into a popularity contest that has very little to do with skill or talent.

Oh - as for Katie Holmes. Thought she did a good job. Understand why she did it. Yeah for her. However - I seriously have no idea who she is.

what an overhyped disappointment that Katie routine was!! She mostly walked around and sang. I had a feeling they were hyping it way too much. I think it would have came off better if they hadn't overhyped it. I do love the charity so I am all for overhyping that. I never got that bench routine. I loved seeing all the alumni dancers

Haven't read all the posts here yet but... For gawd's sake, Katie Holmes was awful. That wasn't dancing, that was posing. And she could barely lip sync correctly. Yeah, cool she's part of the Dizzy Feet Foundation, but sheesh people. This is a dance show, and the contestants are phenomenal dancers. So please... Get someone on stage who can actually dance! And Nigel may finally have realized his mistake in his constant gushing over Kayla. I think it sounded like he wanted Kayla to leave and Janette to stay. Ooops. Just read the post about Nigel's tweets. Nigel, you're an arse. You proclaim she's awesome, the best ever, and then she sucks, we complain, and THEN you defend her? If she's never had any dance training, then why the HECK are you putting her on stage and claiming she's a dancer and singer? She's not. She's a front piece. Just admit it and move on. (FWIW, I've never been a fan of hers, but was willing to have an open mind about her performance. But the first few seconds, when she was walking in 4" heels and couldn't even do that, I figured it was a lost cause. Boy was I right!) ETA: There are probably a dozen ways to better hype the charity than to put someone who can't sing and can't dance on stage. Seriously. They could've had some of the recipients of the scholarships on, and they would've danced better!

At this point in the competition it is sad to see anyone go, but I thought Janette's solo last night (which of course had no effect on the outcome) was very weak. I would have preferred to see the fiery Latina instead of that weak effort.

I voted for Ade but not because of the breast cancer number. He has been my favorite all along. I think he's amazing. I love his strength and love how he dances. Many weeks his dance routines were my favorites. I didn't like his first number the other night but part of it was the routine itself. My favorite female dancer is Janine and has been from the opening number this season. I think she has the extra sparkle along with being a tremendous dancer. I have been shocked the last few weeks that Evan isn't in the bottom. I thought his time was up a while ago.

Even though Brandon is my choice for the guys, I still like Evan. I like to watch him dance. I enjoy his love of dance.

Katie Holmes is an actress who is married to Tom Cruise. Don't know how you missed that.

I truly think Melissa would have gone home this week had it not been for that Tice Diorio routine. I knew she and Ade would be safe. She's a great dancer, but I'm just tired of the ballerina. Too sad to see Janette go! Katie's number was really a big disappointment after all the hype they've given it the past few weeks. One of the biggest stars of the silver screen? Give me a break. I understand that she was trying to promote her charity, but it was pretty self-indulgent (thank you, Simon Cowell) and just average. Girl can't sing or dance. Her biggest claim to fame is that she married Tom Cruise. DH kept asking me, "Who is she again?" It would have been far more classy and effective to have her introduce her charity and have some of the kids perform. Heartstrings!!!

My turn -- Loved the melissa/ade last dance, loved brandon/Jeanine. Shocked that Evan was not in the bottom 2. I think it is his time..(I wonder if the fan base that he has, just loves the old fashion dance that he does, that gene kelly era...) I guess its time to start voting. Katie Holmes -- okay, I understand wanting to promte the new charity -- but her - I kept an open mind, but wow -- that dance was a bust. I think doing a more rhobust group number with kids from some of the many underprivledged groups out there, would have been more effective. Its not like they had 1 week to put it together. I'm sure someone like Debbie Allen could have found kids that would have pulled that off better. -- also - what did that have to do with promoting the charity --(okay so her "fees" went to the foundation instead of her) -- big whoop, like $200K or whatever is most likely a dime for us... One newscaster here in LA (KTLA) summed it up best. He wasn't that thrilled, about it in general, but he called it a "See ya Tom" dance -- meaning he thinks she is done with Tom and this was her way of starting new... I guess we shall see...

Katie's act was not up to the standards of this show, heck even Britney back in her dopey days was better. I would have rather seen the Black-eyed Peas be the feature act of the 100th show. And why did they not let Joshua dance last night? I would have loved to see his Tango with Katee again.
