Mary Murphy and Tabitha/Napoleon hate - hmm... not sure if I'll fit in this year for discussions.

Alexa - I think Kupono reminds me of Jo Weil and Adam Lambert ... like a mesh of the two, with a tan.

I don't know, this is where my mind takes me.

Well, I like Mary. At least she's passionate.

I like Tabitha and Napoleon too, but some of their routine ideas are getting old.

own worst enemy · 06-19-2009, 11:55 PM

Why?! What they did last week with Philip and his partner's Hip-Hop routine was sooo fantastic.

Mary is awesome. One of the highlights for me, along with Kat. And Nigel. And alot of the guest judges... Adam, Tycdee, and Sonya...

Mia... err... not so much.

I liked Mary but her screaming is so annoying and old. I am so glad they have Louise on the show this season he is just so great and his dances are awesome.

It's not that I didn't love the routine. I thought it was really good. But when I've seen No Air, Bleeding Love, and Like You'll Never See Me Again, last year, this routine just seems so similar to it. They're all good, but they all seem to have the exact same feel to them. I really enjoy some of their faster routines, like the "Party People" one with Comfort and Mark. I hope they do more of those this year.

I'm actually with Michaela. The routines all just seem to be repeats of one another. Although I liked last year's No Air & Bleeding Love way better then this years two routines which I can't even remember the song name of.

Don't get me wrong - I like them - but they are getting a little repetitive for me. That happens with a lot of the choreographers though. The only ones IMO that create a completely original routine every time are Mia, Wade, & Brian Friedman.

And I can't stand Mary. Sorry. LOL. I'm almost to the point where I mute the TV when she talks, like I do with Paula on AI.

Evan/Randi is easily my favorite pairing. And I like Philip/Jeanine together too.

But I have to remember that it is still early and hopefully next week they'll have more developed chemistry.

The only pairings I like are Evan/Randi and Phillip/Jeanine and their chemistry is not exactly mindblowing.

Couples who I think had the most chemistry:
Benji/Donyelle
Dominic/Sabra
Musa/Natalie
Twitch/Kherington
Ivan/Alison......and maybe it did not exactly translate in the dancing but definitely from their little interviews.

I agree with all of those. I also thought that Lacey/Kameron had good chemistry.

nooooooo! Do not compare Kupono to Adam and Jo! lol.

Kupono is just too.. immature? for my taste. I dunno, but I didnt find the list thing cute, I thought it was annoying. IMO he tries way too hard to be cool and different. I just dont like him at all.

I have to agree that I am getting sick of the "smooth" hip-hop. I'm a dance team girl, I love the fast hip-hops, like the one that Benjia and Travis did together. They are far more entertaining for me.

Dominc and Sabra had awesome chemistry. I also liked lacey/kam even though I didnt really like lacey. And I still loved Ivan/Allison and Chelsie/Mark the most. I also liked Gev/Courtney.

Why cant they just choose their partners randomly like they used to? I dont like that they have the same partner for weeks. Because what if you get stuck with someone that kind of brings you down? Like, with Jeanine, Phillip kind of drags her down because hes not amazing at any of the styles other than his own.

I, too, fail to understand why they have the same partner week after week. How can you tell if people are voting for the dancer or the couple? Ultimately, it is a one person takes all competition. I know once they get to the Top 10 or whatever(i forget), they give each dancer an individual number. I just fail to see why each dancer does not get their own number to begin with. Although, 20 numbers would probably be too much.

**blonde bombshell** · 06-20-2009, 11:41 PM

I miss Dominic and Sabra.

Neither of them were my favorites, but I loved them together.

I do think it's best when they pick partners randomly. Personally, some of my favorite routines have come at the end of the season when people are paired up with partners they've never had before.

For example:

Sweet Dreams - Jazz - Neil and Sabra
The Garden - Jazz - Courtney and Mark
Imagine - Pas de Deux - Katee and Will
Fuego - Hip Hop - Pasha and Lauren
Calling You - Contemporary - Travis and Heidi
Hip Hip Chin Chin - Samba - Danny and Lacey
Forever - Hip Hop - Twitch and Comfort
Rockafeller Skank - West Coast Swing - Pasha and Sarah

And those are just the ones off the top of my head.

I was never a Sabra fan either but she was really good. My personal fave was Twitch I felt he was the best dancer ever on this show. Him and Kherington were the best couple ever aswell. I haven't felt that any pairing this season can beat those two.

stormy eyes · 06-21-2009, 10:50 AM

Ivan/Allison, Benji/Donyelle, Musa/Natalie, Lacey/Kameron, Sabra/Dom, Josh/Katee...are the couples that I've felt have had the most chemistry. Especially Benji & Donyelle. They were like magic together.

But IA Michaela, especially in season 3 a lot of my favorite routines came in the second half of the season.

Alexa · 06-21-2009, 04:55 PM

I understand the partnering because not only can you not really do ballroom individually, but there also probably isnt enough time for 20 numbers and on top of that, partner dancing is more entertaining to me then individual dancing. I think thats why they get the solo's to give them a chance to show their own flare.

BUT it IS about voting for ONE dancer. So I dont understand why they have to keep the same partner for 5/6 weeks.

I think it would be better to do it randomly, or at least trade off because working with others should be part of the voting. To see how well you adjust to different people. JMO.

Travis, Danny and Mark were my personal favorites. I loved Chelsie too and Ivan and Allison. lol. And Blake of course was amazing. Prob. the best dancer ever. lol.

No one from this year, sadly. Though, Kayla is prob. my fav.

and I made 3 icons. LOL.

Oh, those are so cute!
