So You Think You Can Dance Finale: Russell Ferguson

This is the dance they started off with for the finale show. Really spectacular


Um I love Sonja. I would do anything to have her as a choreographer. This dance is unique (just like Sonja!) and so expressive! She never turns out a bad routine. Eleanor and Jacob hit everything perfectly.



The third dance was tap. For the first season ever there was not only 1 tapper, but 3. None made it to the final but the dance was pretty good nonetheless.

The next dance on the list was was a new dance by Ashleigh and Ryan (also the choreographers). Full of energy. I don't think I've seen them that energized and happy all season.

Leona Lewis performed before the next performance. I didn't like her dress, but I really want to see Avatar (she performed her song from the soundtrack). So someone better take me when it comes out!

Then the groovaloo's performed! If you don't know who they are...just get out and don't talk to me until you've looked them up. Seriously.

The next dance routine was a contemporary routine. In fact it was the Michael Buble routine from yesterday. The end where he's pounding on the floor, epic!

The next dance was Tyce's choice, bollywood. Always fun. Then they started the elimination project after. This is the point where everyone came out on stage and we found out Russell hurt his leg really badly! I was really upset about that. He needs to win...not that having a hurt let will prevent that, but it's not a great way to end the show. Ryan was the first cut also known as the 6th place dancer.



Next up, Adam Lambert. He had black make up and sparkles under his eyes...He wishes he were Davey Havok. I'll admit I don't mind his voice. What the hell was on his right shoulder though? Weird black stuff. The ending note made me laugh though.

After a look back at this seasons auditions and top 20, they brought the finalists back. The 5th place dancer was Ashleigh, which I think is a good choice.

Legacy and Eleanor danced their Mr. and Mrs. Smith dance next. So good!



Next they showed a previous performance of Russell performing the Frog Dance, since he's injured. He never ceases to amaze me. Then more results. Eleanor was named the 4th place dancer. I'm a little surprised. I would have guessed 3rd. She's a strong woman, a unique dancer and very quirky.

Next dance, was a contemporary piece by channing, nathan, jacob and arianna. It was good. Nothing much to say.

Mary's next choice was from last night. It was the hip hop dance. Russell is never not amazing.



Then Mary J Blige performed her new single"I am." Not too shabby.
"You can try to act single if you wanna
You can go ahead and mingle if you wanna
You can even behave like you don't care
But you know like I know
That you ain't that foolish
Who you foolin'? You won't ruin
What's been here all along"

The last judges pick was Nigel's. He chose the dance where the top 20 could show off their styles. Then they chose the next dancer. 3rd place: Kathryn. I hated her at first because she cried constantly and her voice would get really high, but in the end she matured and is an incredible dancer. At the end she cried again and her voice went high again...

I don't know if you can tell but I'm writing it as the show progresses. So Jacob and Russell are the last 2 standing.

Last performance of the night was Jennifer Lopez. Hot damn. That was a great performance. Over the top. That's what a real womans body looks like. Serious, she's gorgeous. She didn't dance a whole lot, but I doubt anyone noticed. When a latina shakes her booty, people pay attention. She had SYTYCD dancers from this season and favorites from past season dance as her backup dancers. Apparently she has a new album coming out next year. Can't wait!

Then the final decision. First Place: Russell Ferguson. As I predicted, I cried when he won. Not only that I fell on the floor. It was pretty great. I can't say any more. He earned it. Definitely going to see the SYTYCD tour this year
