do you think ryan will survive w/ his performance this week????????? well for me it will b YES forever!!!!!!!! he's the best dancer ever since it just seems lyk somethings bothering him this week, feels lyk he's not in the mood or just simply something juz isn't right well you can see it in his reactions lyk he's somehow lost and can't focus... hmmm whatever it is I still voted him and i hope that you'll still support him cause he has proven himself he deserves the title,he's diff.,unique,well he has everything to win this competition!if ever he got the chance to read this....well I just don't want him to loose the spirit he had to outstand them all

At the end of last weeks show didn't anyone notice that Ryan was saying please don't vote for me. I think the judges were really tough on him. I also think he was sensitive to the fact he let his partner down which also put her up for elimination.

what's the song that ryan and snow danced to for hiphop???i can't get it out of my head and i don't know what it's called!!!
29 - BirdE
Snow was robbed, she should have been paired with Artem because they are both the best and both ballroom! She got paired with clumsy Allen too much and that was just unfair!!!!!!!!!!!

I too regret very much the missed opportunity to see Artem and Snow dance ballroom together. However, I don't agree that Allen is "clumsy" or that it's Allen's fault Snow was ultimately eliminated (she has consistently been in the bottom group, week after week, irrespective of who she's danced with). Remember, she was voted off after her hip hop performance w/ Ryan -- and it wasn't Ryan's fault she was there (i.e., Ryan didn't tank Snow's performance). But I do think that, like Melody, she may have had her unfair share of unlucky draws as far as partners/dance styles are concerned.

I LOVE ALLAN!!! YOU GO BIG PAPPA!! HE IS A TRUE INSPIRATION ON THE BIG BOYZ!!

I think Snow is one of the best female dancer although she is not my favorite. And i really regret that she is gone. I have no doubt that she is the best at salsa, Latin and ballroom among the women. I dont like Blake, i think that he is a good performer but it was unfair that he danced the lyric routines
again and again. The samba routine he danced was not samba at all. I didn't see any basic Samba. The samba he danced was truely horrible. I think that he got more credits than he deserved. Most of the judges have (especially Mia Micheals and the 2 hiphop instructors) do not know anything about ballroom/salsa dancing; the commments the made about ballroom/salsa technique are really stupid. Ryan is unique, but Artum and Nick are the best among the men. Nick has great technique. I really really regret that we didn't see Artum dancing with Snow because then America would see what partnering is all about.
My advice is: Judges ! shut up if you dont know what u are talking about. Dont let Blake dance Lyrics again and again. That is annoying !!!
Just me:
Hiphop & Latin dancer.

Has allen been eliminated? I didn't catch the last three shows. I did hear that ryan has been eliminated. I almost cried. That was a hard choice between ryan and jamile
34 - Gina
Allan went home last week. Ryan goes home tonight I hear.
35 - S-J
Yup i heard about ryan, do u remember who danced that hip hop with allen a couple of weeks back she was black and really good. I forgot her name

I thought the judges were judging based on the performance! Everyone compare Jamile to Artem...is this fair? Why not judge Jamile on Jamile's weaknesses and strenghts. Artem is an International Ballroom Dancer and has years of training and experience...should Jamile be compared to Artem? Of course Artem will do a much better job. Give Artem Hip-Hop week after week and see how he does compared to Jamile?

First off, this show is some real bullshit. The judges keep putting whoever dances with Blake through, no matter how horrible their dance routines are or how bad they may screw up. The judges always have excuses for whoever dances with Blake. And to say to a dancer, that they should be glad that they are dancing with Blake is just not right. In order words, if I was a dancer on the show and evertime I pick, I would hope and pray that it's blake, because atlease that way, I know am safe. The judges have favorites and they are going to push them (Blake and what's the blonde with all the gum and teeth smith)???? all the way to the finish and whoever happens to partner with them will be there too. This show is so, so unfair. Sorry, but Melody has got to go! Don't like her dance style, routine and never ever will!!! As far as what the judges picks on dance routines, and what comes out of the hat is a bunch of bull also. Hey can we get some more hip stuff and not so much lyrical, ballroom, etc. stuff! I can't stand to see that style of dancing any darn more! I want to see other stuff and not all that crap that they say is real dancing, because at the end of the day if America was voting for dance routines, it would not be what they are putting in the hat. Also, I think pairing folks up is a another bunch of crap because lets face it, they already have their favorites and the ones that the judges love (will never be in the bottom two). Well atleast we all know who is going to be the male winner anyway.... (Blake - with all of his professional training and stuff) and he already had/has a fan base before even coming on the show, even with the judges. I think that was really unfair to the other dances. Been looking for a website where I can voice my opinion to the producers of the show and
a-hole judges; needless to say, I can't find anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

cheers

I think that this drawing out of a hat idea is inappropriate for the purpose of finding the best versatile dancer. If they really wanted to find one, they would have each of them dance a limited number of the same types of dancing. That way everyone would get equal opportunity to show what they got, and not base their winning/losing on luck of picking their strongest/weakest dance style and partner out of a hat. We know that every one of them are good at what they do. But how good are they doing something they are not used to? Needless to say, whoever did the show wasnt much concerned about that.
41 - S-J
Totally agree. I mean Allan is best at hip hop. He got that reallt stupid routine then got tossed. Ryan same thing. And wat's with jamile getting ballroom?? He can't dance it. I think they should let people dance wat they re good at. Lets face it this random dances stuff is not working.
42 - SDiane
Can anyone tell me the name of the song that Jamile danced to last night when he did he last 45 second solo?
43 - paige
Who got kicked off last night? I didn''t get a chance to see it?
44 - S-J
Ryan and i think melody. I know for sure ryan went. So sad. The only person i really care about is jamile. How come there are no black judges?? Thats been bugging me.
45 - S-J

46 - S-J

I really like Jamile and Artem. I hated how Artem was praised for doing an outstanding job with his performance which clearly was his strength. I'm sad to see him go. I wish he could have stuck around to see him do some Hip Hop. Jamile is still here because even though Hip Hop is his element, he was unlucky enough to pull a different genre out of the mix and wowed everyone with his versatility.
I think everyone makes too much out of Blake. So he can dance! But there are other dancers there too. They all deserve the same recognition for going out there and doing their thing.
I really love Nick and Melody. I would love for them to win. They are awesome dancers and they seem like very sweet people also. I like to see people that are the whole package.

The judges are trying to find the best female and the best male dancer, right?
Watching the show tonight, Dan had a problem with the "Smooth Waltz" because it was too slow and he had just seen a "Hip Hop" routine that got him pumped up.
Since it's such a hard transition to watch one dance style and judge that and completely switch to another dance style, if there is another season of the show they should do things a little differently.
All the groups should dance the same style of dance. Then the second dance they should have a totally different style but for all groups to again dance the same style. That way, they all either do Hip Hop, or they all do Ballroom, whichever.
That way they all have the same chance at performing to a certain standard.
There are fans that argue that the judges play favorites in the voting and critism....the fans in the end play the biggest role. The judges may pick or favor someone more than another, but it's the fans that decide who stays and who goes. So really, it's mostly the fans playing favorites. Nothing about the game is fair, because everyone has their favorite.
In the end, it's up to you! You can either choose to vote for who you like the best based on who they are or what color they are and try to argue one thing or another as to why one person should be there and another shouldn't or you can choose to pick the persons that really CAN dance.
Stop picking favorites and critique the dancing! That's what they are their for! They don't need people to like them! They have their own friends and family. Choose the dancer that can dance the best and leave it at that.
