So You Think You Can Dance — Page 21

I think Mia Michaels was such a bitch last night. I can't stand her.

ARapp - I just gave up on the Fox MB about 10 minutes ago. After about a week or two of trying to find the non-hating threads, I just decided it's too much work and not worth it, lol. They're everywhere!

To whoever said that the most pirouettes they've ever seen Donyelle do were doubles and that they attributed that to her weight and not her broken big toe...that's such a horrible thing to try to say while pretending to be objective; it's just juvenile.

I am a big girl and can pull off triples with ease - have been since college. Why would not being a toothpick effect your ability to do pirouettes? (cause Donyelle is by no means big, unless you're comparing her to other eating-disorder dancers) YOU should head straight to the Fox Message Board, it sounds like it'd be right up your alley!

Lastly, I think because it's so close to the end, that the dancers feel more accomplished than defeated leaving at this point. At least that's how I'd feel. ie, if it were down to me and three other girls out of thousands for a role in a show, sure I'd be upset that I didn't get it, but I think the fact that I beat out all but 2 would be in the forefront of my mind. And of course it just how cool Ivan and Natalie are that they left so graciously.

I cannot wait for the tour - anyone else going?

Ok look (or read in this case). My opinion is regard to Mia's criticism is this: I feel that she definitely has a right to tell the contestants what they are doing right and what they are lacking, because well, she's the one that's going to be working with them and instructing them. However, I agree that she was a little harsh at times, but like each did, the performers can use the harshness to improve. In regard to Heidi's popularity, I don't really see it much either. I mean, I was an Alison & Natalie fan, and didn't see much in Heidi at first. However with time she has greatly improved versatility-wise, which is why I believe she is still in the competition. She has amazing technique, but to me she doesn't seem as graceful at the other dancers. Like said, she seems too stiff.

Also: Can I share Travis too? Please?

rKrispyt - Please accept my sincerest apologies if I didn't recognize that your previous post was written by a college-educated person and mistook it for one written by someone who was much younger, immature and uneducated. My surprise at your having even attended college was solely predicated on your writing style, your spelling and sentence construction, and your ad hominem attack. However I can see that you have since severely edited your original post, so anyone reading this thread now will not fully appreciate my response.

I have consistently praised Donyelle throughout this thread and said that she deserved to be in the final 4 (women). I have always liked her. And unlike you, I have not edited any of my prior posts. But in my opinion, she has not impressed me during the past few weeks, which is exactly what Mia had said. Of all the posts in which I praised Donyelle, yes, I did make ONE single comment that I thought her weight did hamper her in ONE aspect of her dancing. For that, you went into your tirade and slung an offensive reply laced with ad hominem attacks, which you have since conveniently edited.

Have we become such a politically correct society that a person cannot even mention a physical attribute such as weight in a contest that involves physical performance? I am thrilled that you can do a triple pirouette for a girl who is much bigger than Donyelle (your words - not mine - which you have since removed from your own post).

You have turned this discussion into one of weight. That is your issue, not mine.

Yes, I am a Heidi fan; as my many posts have stated. I find she and Benji to be the most versatile of the dancers. And, they both know how to entertain. I'd be happy if either one of them wins this competition.

I thought it was cute when Heidi reached for Donyelle's hand during the first round of results. I didn't really care much Heidi in the beginning but as the weeks went on I started to like her more. Basically the antithesis of what I feel about Donyelle. I think both of the boys deserve the win, so if either gets it I’ll b happy. Heidi, in my opinion, should finish at least in third place. She has definitely proven herself as a dancer, she may have limitations, but they are never apparent when she dances and that what counts, the same for Benji.

i really think a boy is gonna win this year...
