Yesterday's Super Sunday served up everything from heart-wrenching Contemporary set to Coldplay to earthy, animalistic African Samba. Now just 24 hours later, your votes decided which of these fourteen amazing dancers will became twelve by picking your bottom three. Here's the skinny:
Kicking off the show with a streetsmart Hip Hop urban routine choreographed by Juliette Verne, aka Jet, your top fourteen ripped it up with a combination of awesome b-boy and b-girl moves that saw not just Hip Hop experts Demi and J.D. shining. The night was off and racing, and that meant some very nervous dancers had to take to the stage.
First on the floor were Camilla and Sermsah, and Demi and Jack. Matt thought this style of Hip Hop sat better with Camilla and Sermsah, while Jason criticized the couple's problems with the lifts. Demi and Jack performed the Samba, and while Matt commented he didn't get connection, he said it was nice to see the pair step out of their ‘fun' zone. Bonnie thought it was lacking, and Jason thought it was flatfooted. So who was in the bottom three? Demi and Jack were safe, but Camilla and Sermsah would have to come back and Dance For Their Lives.
Next on the stage were Jemma and Rhys, and Vanessa and Henry. Jemma and Rhys were still riding high from their supersexy urban routine, which had the entire audience hot under the collar. The judges praised Rhys' masculinity and Jemma's diversity. Sunday saw Vanessa and Henry perform a sizzling Samba, choreographed by the one and only Jason Gilkison. Matt said the routine allowed the couple to really step up. Jason said Vanessa owned it, and they were yet to see Henry be bad. These two couples both had the skills to pay the bills – they were declared safe!
Laura and Anthony performed an obsessive Contemporary routine set to Avril Lavigne. Jason said he didn't believe the kiss and the scream – it wasn't enough to act sexy, they had to be sexy. Matt didn't get it, and thought it was ordinary. They were in the bottom three last week, and this week they were right back there.
That meant one of our two bottom couples would have to Dance For Their Lives. Rhiannon and J.D. got back on the horse on Sunday with a slick jazz routine set to The Killers while Kate and Graeme wowed the judges with a powerful Contemporary routine. Jason said it was the best Contemporary routine he'd seen so far in the competition – and the voting public agreed, Kate and Graeme were safe!
Camilla, Sermsah, Laura, Anthony, Rhiannon and J.D. then preceded to Dance For Their Lives, showing the judges and you guys at home their unique talent and ability to interpret music. Was it enough to get them through to Top 12? While the judges deliberated backstage, Canadian rockers Simple Plan pumped up the jams and got the crowd moving – but the question on everyone's lips was who would be going home?
The girl whose SYTYCD journey ended tonight was Laura, and the boy who didn't make Top 12 was Sermsah.
