Regarding Vitolio, of course he is a wonderful dancer! But, I feel that his attitude at times seemed a bit angry. I am not sure if this is truly his personality or if that is the way he come across on TV.  He was so tender with Asuka and he showed compassion. I felt his “dance for your life” solo was very good.  Compare him to Kupono, who is good, but just doesn’t have the Vitolio’s training. My opinion, he should have been the one cut this week. But now that he is paired up with Kayla, who is a judge favorite, he has a chance to hang in there.  Karla is also an amazing dancer. She worked very hard to bring each dance to life as she tackled it with energy and grace. Her moment with Jonathan in that contemporary dance – “Falling Slowly” was  extremely memorable. She brings it every week. The quick step that she and Vitolio did was terrific and the first time that the quick step was well recieved.  They really nailed it! All the girls are super so it is hard to decide which girl should leave.  But, the boys, I think Kupono should have been the one cut this week

I watch SYTYCD so I can watch incredible dancers doing innovative, beautiful and exciting dances. I wish the cameras would hold still and let us see the especially the group numbers.  The super number by Napolean and Tabitha was ruined by the camera work. I didn’t get anything out of  July 2nd group number. Back in the 40’s, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire knew how to film a routine so that the lines of each step was easily visable to the camera! Nigel you should realized that and give us a wide angle view.

Randi and Evan put everything into that routine! Why did 6 ft. tall Dowling choreograph a piece that didn’t fit them? It made them look short for the 1st time since we saw them. It wasn’t the dancing, it was the dance. The judges seem to be very hard on Evan.

What’s up with doing a pointe number especially choreographed for Melissa? Sure, I loved to see pointe on TV.  But, they don’t
