Janette and Brandon dance to a Hip Hop routine by Dave Scott.

This time it was good. This is probably my favorite of the night. Brandon is pretty good with his hip hop moves.

Karla and Jonathan dance to a hip hop routine by Dave Scott.

They are playing the characters of smooth gangsta’s. It wasn’t gangsta enough for everybody. Karla did okay with what she was given but Jonathan kinda sucked. The routine was meh. They are in trouble.

Kupono and Ashley dance to a Hip Hop routine by Shane Sparks.

It was alright. Too bad both routines Shane Sparks choreographed this week sucked. We miss Napoleon and Tabitha. To be fair, I thought Ashley did good.

So You Think You Can Dance 2009.

Phillip and Jeanine started the night with a hip hop routine by Tabitha and Napoleon. They danced to “Mad” by NeYo.

The judges loved it. I thought it was a great start to a new season. Phillip was very lucky to get hip hop as the first dance of the season to showcase his crazy dance skills. Jeanine was pretty good too.

Tony and Paris picked a Hip Hop number by Napoleon and Tabitha.

The pressure’s on for Tony since it’s his style. Unfortunately he fell short on his performance. He had been featured quite a lot during the auditions so I don’t know how this will affect his votes but the attention he’s been getting is definitely undeserved.
