This week's comments, questions and concerns come without any technical dance knowledge and no actual dance skills ... just straight up love for 'So You Think You Can Dance.''SYTYCD,' the things you do to me!Let's start off with a hat tip to the producers, Coldplay and Florence and the Machine within the first half hour, and they managed to find a way to out-aww the baby ballerina from last week? Well played.Los Angeles
Guest Judge: Jesse Tyler FergusonThe Los Angeles auditions certainly got off on the right foot with the first straight-to-Vegas dancer, Alexa Anderson. The 19-year-old hopeful made it all the way to the final judging during last season's Top 20 reveal, but ultimately lost out to Season 8 dancer Ryan. Lucky for us, Alexa decided to give it another go for Season 9 and now she is headed straight to Vegas!Jontel 'Johnny Waacks' Gibson gave us the funniest four minutes of this week's 'So You Think You Can Dance' and we doubt he even knew it. It wasn't his 1970s inspired outfit that had us chuckling, but his poker straight face as he stood in front of the judges, explaining his style of dance: 'wacking.' You couldn't help but see the fits of giggles filling up the judges and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't (immaturely) laughing myself. His unique style didn't get him a ticket to Vegas, but it did impress the judges, with Nigel complimenting him on his musicality. Unfortunately, he didn't make it to Vegas after the choreography round.Eliana Girard was just cute as a button. Her segment started a little rocky for me, with her aerial pole dancing skills (it felt a little attention-grabby and unnecessary); but once she started to move, it was clear this bubbly young girl would be headed right to Vegas, and that she was. She showed off her incredible strength (not to mention her killer legs!) and Eliana received one hell of a compliment from Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
