So You Think You Can Dance Week #5 Results

Cut from the top 12 tonight was Phillip and Caitlin. The judges were unanimous on both selections. The judges told both dancers that they were great dancers and they based their decision on last night and all the previous week performances.






As I say to all the departing contestants, “To Phillip and Caitlin I send my congratulations for making the Top 12 and even though you are leaving tonight, “Let nothing stand in your way as you continue your journey to complete your dream”.

This now completes the top 10 that will be going on the SYTYCD Tour starting in September. Congratulations to all the top 10 contestants for following your dream and taking the action to complete it. Nigel also announced that Phillip and Caitlin will also be joining the top 10 on the tour, which was a surprise because in pasted seasons only the top 10 went on tour as the main attractions. Other dancers went on tour only as “swing” dancers, not main attractions.

I must say that when Phillip was asked how this competition has affected him he said among other things, “I hope I have inspired others to follow their dreams. I want them to know that you don’t need money and fancy studios, all you need are creativity and passion to complete your dreams.” (Not his exact words, but I got the message.)

Other notes about tonight’s show:

Nigel said that when they attempted to put together a show that would be a tribute to Michael Jackson they could not get a release of the music from Sony so there will be no tribute.
My editorial response to this is -- Outrageous! Disgusting! I am appalled! If you are a fan of one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived and agree with me on this absurdity of not releasing the music to SYTYCD for a tribute, what I am going to do is post a blog tomorrow with the subject “SYTYCD Tribute to Michael Jackson Rejected”. In the body of the post will be the above description about the music not being release. All comments on this post will be approved and posted for all to see (Please keep it G Rated). So call your friends, use “Google”, “Bing”, Firefox”, etc. to get information on he we can get this decision reversed and post it as a comment or just comment, the on what you think. Your opinions are valued here.


I have Nothing except for all you out there to remember the name “SONY”!. Grrrrrrrr...
