TV Review: So You Think You Can Dance Through a Two Hour Finale? - Page 2

Where was that mute button? Annie Lenox did not need to assault my ears like this.

There were 60 million votes for the top four dancers, but there was no time to dwell on that. The top 20 dancers were dancing like zombies all of a sudden! I love zombies. In fact, check out what is happening in my home town!

Excuse me while I try and get five minutes of sleep during the obligatory montage of people who had been voted off.

Holy crap! After a short little routine, Heidi was let go. We had one hour left to eliminate two more people. That's one person per half hour. Fresh from rejection, Heidi was dancing on stage with Travis in his favorite performance of the season. The flamingo. Er, I mean flamenco.

After a short solo, Donyelle was out. That left 45 minutes to kick out either Travis or Benji. You used a full loaf of bread to soak up the last bit of oil from a plate at the fancy Italian restaurant.

Martha and Travis danced to “Steam Heat”. Don't be confused. They were not performing under the power of steam, like an olde tyme train. That was the name of a song. Anyway, Martha had arms resembling a man's. It made me nervous.

Benji and Tavis have both danced solo by this point in the show. There was nothing left to do but give one of them the boot. But first, Fergie. She provided us with a wonderfully uninspired song and performance to break up the excitement of the season finale.

And then there was a rather boring performance to a Chicago musical number by the top 20 dancers. It's better to fade away than to burn out?

It's surprising how similar a made up word like "burgervore" and two separate words like "burger whore" sound. Good work, advertisers for Wendy's. You really thought that one through.

And the winner of So You Think You Can Dance was Travis! I mean, Benji!

    do you not have a life. ciara is one of the best performers in the world and just because you don't respect her music or style doesn't mean that she isn't good. I bet you'd know who brooks and dunn is...huh! go figure.
