So You Think You Can Dance Season 4 Top 12 Results

Quick Notes:

1. The way those three sets of two couples were combined, it was pretty clear who was in the bottom three.

2. Alvin Ailey Dancers - powerful

3. Will and Twitch had the best solo performances I can remember. I find the solo dances uninspired usually; the dancers have a short time to present their dance, and often, the styles and movements are the same week after week - particularly with the contemporary dancers. Leap, turn, kick, run to the other side of the stage, leap, turn, kick, run to the middle of the stage, leap, turn, kick, 5-4-3-2-1. Done. Blah.
Will and Twitch both showed me something better is possible. I had story, I had interest, I was engaged. Excellent work.

4. I've wondered about this song since I've seen it at the top of the iTunes list for a long time now. I didn't love it.

5. I agree with Nigel...it would have been appropriate to exchange Jessica for Thayne. And, Jessica, I'm so sorry. They're really hard on you and not even being polite about it. You're a wonderful dancer. I'm of the opinion that you're over it already and just gritting your teeth to get through it. I think you'll like the tour once the competitive pressure if off. Top 10 is a good milestone and a great time to relax and enjoy it from now on.
