Glee must have been an inspiration for this show: I missed episode 2 of The Sing-Off on TV, so via proxy I'm watching it online right now.

A Capella. When I could sing, I was obsessed with it,  It's a given that I'd dig this show!

I don't envy the judges, although I don't find them critical.

I haven't posted about this since the beginning. Sorry.

To keep to the original scheduling plans, two men and women were eliminated. One was disappointing. I preferred Danielle to Janick - but both paled in dance skill to Natalie, and she was cut.

On the male side I was sad to lose Sebastian. I was rooting for him to win this year, but he's had a few bad weeks.

Of the 4 cut, I'm not that sad about McKenzie. In solos he proved to be more of a gymnast than a dancer proper.

I know who I'm rooting for now, but I don't want to jinx them by saying who it is aloud. :)

Well, not quite. The Top 20 will be chosen tonight.

The dancers from Vancouver were varied in styles, which I liked a lot.

Not surprising: the Montreal auditions interested me a lot. I was fascinated by Hip Hop dancer Luka Crazylegs, a  guy who worked around his disability and crutches. He made it through 2 rounds of the finals, but the judges reluctantly cut him before ballroom, because he couldn't partner.

I'm really curious who will be chosen!

I tried to post this while my DVR was recording the finale, but the post was lost. Now, the Canadian one starts soon, so I wanted to get this out there. Updates are in bold:

- with a regular panel of judges and only a few guests, we didn't have to see Mary Murphy past the auditions. She was at the finale though. Unfortunately we also didn't see Little C. He danced on it.

Kent proved that he was already an artist the performance night when the emotion of a routine proved more important to him than its steps. Judge Adam Shankman said that it proved he didn't need the show. He was the runner up.

The best dancer was Robert, but I figured that Kent would be the favorite. Robert was indeed in 3rd place.

Ultimately I was wrong. Congratulations to Lauren!

This week Ashley was eliminated, for the 2^nd week in a row due to injury. She didn't even perform!

Now Laurel is the only woman left in the competition.

We had the first tap-dancer here in Canada last year (Russel even made the final 4). Melinda is the first I've seen make it in the US (they had a hoofer in Evan, but not a pure tapper).

They had some amazing stuff this week. Alex performed an amazing hip hop routine with Twitch that I suspect will be on YouTube or Hulu as I type this... Melinda just couldn't work well in other styles.

She's quite easy on the eyes though. I won't be surprised if someone hires her immediately.
