So You Think You Can Dance Week #3 Results

Cut from the top 16 tonight was Jonathon and Asuka. The judges were unanimous on Asuka, but spilt on Jonathon. I agree on Jonathon, I thought he did not “dance for his life”, and I had the other two guys even up. As far as the girls, I had to leave that up to the judges. The reason they gave for “cutting” Asuka is they did not feel she was growing as a dancer on the show.

As I say to all the departing contestants, “To Jonathon and Asuka I send my congratulations for making the Top 16 and even though you are leaving tonight, “Let nothing stand in your way as you continue your journey to complete your dream”.


Final Note:
As everyone probably knows by now that Michael Jackson passed away at the young age of fifty today. I have been a fan of his for forty plus years and as far as music goes Nigel said it best tonight, “He changed the world of music forever. Not just here in the U.S., the world.”

I agree 1,000%. When “Thriller” came out and I saw it, I knew this was the future and it did change everything about music. Not only song, but dance, video, production, and well you can go on and on. Nigel also said, “I hear contestants on this show and others stating that they were inspired by Michael Jackson to follow their dreams.” That in itself is awesome and his life should be a celebration. We will miss the likes of Michael Jackson yet celebrate his contribution to the world of music forever.
