sort of livebloggy dancing reactions.

healingmirthHello, internet, I'm back! I started a post about things this afternoon, but I got distracted, so that will have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow is also puppy day, so I suspect there will be pictures.
I've just realized that I totally failed to reply to comments about dancing last week in my flailing about broken internet. Oops.
Lil C!
Sonya Tayeh's guys routine. Did not love it, not sure why. I don't see any way that Ade and Brandon carrying someone overhead is comfortable, with their difference in height.
I've seen a lot of Samba on Dancing with the Stars. I love samba, and I didn't love Jeanine and Ade. And Jeanine's face kept distracting me with whatever that angry/sexy expression she was holding onto. I don't want to say that I think Evan should be in the finals, because every week, I think, "this is the week Ade's going to break out!" But after Ade's first routine tonight, I'm ready to give up on him
Kayla's whole solo seemed like it was 4 counts off.
Evan and Melissa again, I wanted it to be bigger. I'm having a lot of trouble this season with performances that are precise rather than outstanding. Bonus points for sock garters, though.
I still hate Ade's solos, and I'm starting to feel bad about it. No layout this week? Or maybe I was so bored that I looked away and missed it.
After the first two couples, I was very excited and hopeful to see Brandon and Kayla. I didn't love Kayla and Brandon's contemporary as much as I loved Kayla and Kupono's routine from Mia, but it was close.
Okay, Jeanine's stank face in the hip hop was the twin of her samba face. Where's the joy people? I really lost any lingering sense of who Ade was in the costume. I also really want less Tabitha and Napoleon next season. More someone else, plz.
On a sort of related note, has Lil C done a routine this season? That's rough if they're saving krumping for the finale.
It was really obvious how short Evan's legs were in hold. Maybe it was the comparison to Melissa's lines that did it, but they just didn't look right. But wow did they luck out getting quickstep. Although, WTH was Evan's jacket? Some sort of cut velvet?
I hated Kayla's shoes in the Disco routine - and they may have been a height choice, which, whatever - and it just totally threw me out of the routine. Janette and Brandon really nailed their disco, and this just didn't seem to measure up.
I think I figured out what I didn't like about the girls' and guys' routines. I don't think I'm interested in Sonya's unison choreography. I wanted to see more interaction between them, but I guess maybe they were good routines for demonstrating who the best dancer might be in terms of whether someone outperformed the others.
Er... and happy (really belated, mostly) birthdaykate, bluemeridian, and me_maneuver. Wow do I need to have those notifications forwarded to email. I hope they were/are happy!
