So You Think You Can Dance: Top 8 Perform
December 08, 2009 07:56 PM by Lisa Princ

With only one week left until the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance on FOX your votes are more important than ever! After our top 8 perform for us tonight, it is up to you America to get your favorites into the finale. Now, let’s see with whom our favorites paired up and how they stacked up against the competition, then you can get on those phones and start voting.
Immediately upon introducing our top 8 tonight on So You Think You Can Dance on FOX something was not quite right, we were missing a dancer. That’s right folks, Ashleigh did not perform tonight due a shoulder injury. You will still have an opportunity to vote for her anyway for those of you Ashleigh fans! So our new pairs were as follows: Ryan and Kathryn; Mollee and Jakob; Legacy and Ellenore; and Russell and Ashleigh.

Ryan and Kathryn were first up on So You Think You Can Dance with a smoking disco routine to a remix of Last Dance by Donna Summer. Their second performance was a super spicy cha cha which they both performed flawlessly earning them, both a ticket on Mary’s hot tamale train. Kathryn has really come out this week, and Ryan has proved exactly why he is still here. Ryan had a tearful moment as his number flashed across the screen, instead of promoting himself as they normally do, he asked that everyone vote for his wife Ashleigh instead. What a sweetheart he is.
Mollee and Jakob’s first performance was a beautifully performed waltz which while the judges loved both of them, I think Jakob stole the show which is not hard for him to do. Next up for them was a broadway routine which was perfect in every sense. They both performed flawlessly and Mollee impressed me in this one as she danced with much more maturity. Adam made sure to let Jakob know once again that he is one of the best performers that So You Think You Can Dance has ever seen.

Legacy and Ellenore lit the stage on fire with a very dangerous contemporary performance involving a table that looked like a mix of mobsters mixed with war of the Roses. This was definitely the perfect night for these two to perform such a strong and risky routine. For their second performance, they tackled a strange hip hop routine which did nothing for me at all. I think they needed another strong performance and this one was not, instead it was just awkward. These two may be in trouble after this one, guess we shall see tomorrow.
Russell and Ashleigh were supposed to perform an old school hip hop routine, but again Ashleigh could not perform per doctors orders tonight on So You Think You Can Dance on FOX. Russell is a pro at dancing without a partner as he did it early on this season when Noelle was injured. Even though he had a little help from a choreographer so he wouldn’t have to dance alone, Russell once again stole the stage and our hearts. For their second routine, Russell performed a fun bollywood dance with no story behind it, just pure dance. Once again, Russell blew it out of the park, I would definitely say he is heading to the finale.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow at 8 pm EST to So You Think You Can Dance on FOX to see who will make it into the finale and watch a special performance by American Idol winner Kris Allen. See you after the show.
