^ I would love for "Ruby Blue" to be #1, but given Mia's dislike of Brandon, I doubt it.
Mia dislikes Brandon, why?!
^ During the Vegas episodes, Mia said to Brandon (paraphrased): "I've been hearing all year how brilliant you are, but I don't see it," and "You annoy the s--- out of me." Lil' C joined in, saying to Brandon: "You don't impress me." Also, right before Brandon found out he was in the Top 20, Mia said to him (paraphrased): "I just can't take who you are."
oh that's mean. I wouldn't say that to even my least favorite dancer!
^ Her comments were even more ironic because she flat out said that she liked male dancers because of the strength that they bring. But then she criticizes Brandon, a strong male dancer. Luckily, Nigel and Mary came to his defense.
She recanted her statements after Brandon and Janette performed their cha cha. She probably saw that Brandon could win the whole competition, and she didn't want to look stupid in front of America.
She's tough. Who else did she take under her wings besides Travis? Come to think of it Travis isn't a strong male dancer, not strong like physically. He has beautiful lines.
^ Mia loves the dancers that she can mould to fit her vision. Travis was young, and so she probably thought that she could 'create' something out of him. She also adores the dancers who are technically proficient in contemporary; she loved Danny in S3, and she loved Will in S4. She also seemed to love Alex Wong during the Vegas rounds; he is a professional ballet dancer. But that doesn't explain why she hated Brandon. I did some searching around, and found out that Mia thought that Brandon was lazy.
Brandon may have a laid back look but his big movements in his solos are just amazing.
^ I agree. Brandon has technique, strength, flexibility, and a good personality. I have no idea why Mia would think that Brandon was lazy because many of the choreographers, including Louis Van Amstel, loved Brandon, and said that he had a great work ethic.
let's hope we'll get to see him perform. It's only an hour long :(
I'm out for the count. Let me say goodnight :)
anyone around?
I am for the next 2 minutes
Haunted, were you able to catch the latest episode of America's Best Dance Crew?
no, don't have cable :( Was it good?
Just got home from work at the library... have I missed anything?
The crews took Shane's criticism to heart, and they really pulled it up this week. The challenge was to integrate Bollywood-style moves into their routine, and I thought that all of the crews did a good job. Maybe Shane needs to lay the smackdown every week.Quote:

^ Shane was p.o.'d last week because he thought that the crews had weak choreography, boring routines, brought no energy, and needed to stop recycling moves.
Every week, there are different challenges that each crew must complete. This week was the Bollywood challenge.
do the crews choreo their own dances?
I love the Bollywood number on SYTYCD, the costumes were amazing!
^ Yes, the crews choreograph their own dances. For example, in the Bollywood challenge, the crews were told: "You must incorporate bharata natyam / kathak / bhangra / etc. into your routine." A Bollywood choreographer (the one from SYTYCD) came to show them the moves, and then it was up to the crews to create a routine that incorporated their style with the assigned challenge.
