America’s Got Talent Season 5 Episode 12

Between the first two groups, 37 people advanced in America’s Got Talent Season 5 Episode 11, leaving 11 spots open for the final group of 28.

Danger starts off the night. A martial arts group goes first. Then some knife throwing jugglers. Nick Pike shatters some glass and adds kerosene to it. Then he walks over it barefoot while juggling three objects (one on fire) while blindfolded. Jeremy Van Schoonhoven returns with his bike.

The kids are up next. Northwest Dance & Acro invite Nick to be an honorary member.

Vocal groups are next, and they range from R&B to country to broadway. Amongst them are those with inspirationl stories, New Directions choir and sisters Christina & Ali.

Now the random novelty acts. First is the chick who paints with her body, which Piers calls completely ridiculous. He also hates the guy who drops something and the guy who accidentally pops balloons with fire. The playing card record holder keeps missing his mark, and Howie has to beg him to stop. Ronith is the most ridiculous impressionist ever, but this time he decides to be the most ridiculous actor ever.

Bands are another category. Harmonik are back to represent Haiti. We go from rockabilly to pop to classical fusion. Then we end with Airpocalypse, which is seriously an air band. The actual bands are insulted to be in the same category, but they are quite amused during the performance.

The final category is the male singers, and there is a lot of competition. Luigi Seno realizes he’s the least experienced but hopes his hard work will pay off. Nate Kenyon is less nervous than last time.

Now that all of the acts have performed, the judges have determined the acts going on to the top 48. They (most of them) are:

Airpocalypse (why?)
Ali & Christina
Jeremy van Schoonhoven
Luigi Seno
Nathaniel Kenyon
RNG
Ronith (oh god)
The Strange Familiar

That just about rounds out the 48:

Airpocalypse
Ali & Christina
Alice Tan Ridley
Anna & Patryk
Antonio Restivo
ArcAttack
AscenDance
The Belly Dancing Duo
Cheer SF
Chipps Cooney
CJ Dippa
Da Maniacs
Debra Romer

So You Think You Can Dance Season 7 Episode 12

Melinda Sullivan was eliminated in So You Think You Can Dance Season 7 Episode 11. Tonight the top 8 perform two routines each.

At the advice of the doctors, Alex Wong will not be performing tonight. Nigel is hoping for the best but warns that they think it is a fairly serious injury. He will automatically be placed in the bottom three and will be eliminated next week if he is not back yet.

Lauren Froderman with Pasha
Style: Cha cha
Choreographers: Jean-Marc Genereaux & France
Song: Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyonce
Nigel: Smoldering. A different girl than last week.
Mia: Pure murderation. (That’s a good thing.) So hot.
Adam: Made what very little there of that costume that exists work. Totally different girl. Just grabbed that stage.
Number: 1-888-6-BEST-01

Jose Ruiz with Lauren
Style: Contemporary
Song: Mandy Moore
Song: Never Tear Us Apart by INXS
Nigel: Looked amazing. You have accepted the challenge of the show.
Mia: Believed every single step. You loved her for more than her butt.
Adam: Played to every one of your strengths.
Number: 1-888-6-BEST-02

Kent Boyd with Comfort
Style: Hip hop
Choreographer: Dave Scott
Song: You’re Not My Girl by Ryan Leslie
Nigel: Like a soft hop, a style that suits you. Cool like Justin Timberlake. Sat in the groove.
Mia: Not mad at you. A cool factor to you that worked, kind of. Lacked the funk.
Adam: Saw growth in you this week.
Number: 1-888-6-BEST-03

Adechike with Courtney
Choreographer: Mandy Moore
Song: Is You or Is You Ain’t My Baby? (You can’t make this stuff up) (Rae & Christian Remix) by Dinah Washington
Nigel: Came up to the task. One of the best I’ve seen you outside your own style.
Mia: Very mediocre.
Adam: Didn’t find enough.
Number: 1-888-6-BEST-04

Billy Bell with Allison (make that Katie from season 4)
Style: Broadway
Choreographer: Spencer Liff
Song: Macavity: The Mystery Cat by CATS original Broadway cast
Nigel: Best you’ve danced outside of your solos.
Mia: Absolutely fabulicious. Best I’ve seen you. Jerome Robbins would have loved you.
Adam: Never connected with a partner or understood the material so well.
Number: 1-888-6-BEST-05

Ashley Galvan with Dominic
Style: Hip hop
Choreographers: Tabitha & Napoleon Dumo
Song: How Low by Ludacris
Nigel: You can do something else other than contemporary. Could take a firmer base, but I loved it.
Mia: Danced so hardcore. Lack of kill in your eyes.
Adam: Quiet contender. A big deal.
Number: 1-888-6-BEST-06

Robert Roldan with Kathryn
Style: Jazz
Choreographer: Sean Cheesman
Song: Sinking Feeling by Roisin Murphy
Nigel: Don’t understand why you’ve been in the bottom three.
Mia: Perfect piece for you. Could have been tightened up more.
Adam: So great. Give 1000%.
Number: 1-888-6-BEST-07

Adechike with Nakul’s assistant Mara
Style: Bollywood
Choreographer: Nakul dev Mahajan
Song: Mourya Re from Don the Chase Begins Again Soundtrack
Nigel: Gotta be careful with a style like this. A little funky in places by putting your own style into it. Loved the split jumps at the end (which is where Alex got injured).
Cat: Why is it okay for Jose to put his own spin on Bollywood?
Mia: Since you’re not Jose, I’m going to be tough on you. Seemed a little African. Not feeling it. I miss Alex.
Adam: Enormous amount of power but lacked finish.

Kent Boyd & Lauren Froderman
Style: Contemporary
Choreographer: Travis Wall
Song: Collide (Acoustic Version) by Howie Day
Nigel: Proved what a real good contemporary dancers you are. Felt Lauren’s heart tonight. All of Kent’s hard work is going to pay off.
Mia: Stunning. Gorgeous. Lauren is the perfect female dancer in this. Didn’t lack the soul.
Adam: So honest and very real. I felt weird watching that, which is a really good thing.

Robert Roldan & Ashley Galvan
Style: Quickstep (kiss of death)
Choreographers: Jean-Marc Genereaux & France
Song: Man with the Hex by The Atomic Fireballs
Nigel: Robert’s elbow tended to dip, and he was jumping around a bit. Character and dance were right. Ashley was absolutely lovely.
Mia: Got through it. Not a trainwreck. Robert’s legs were too far apart and really needs to do ballet.
Adam: Did get through it.

Billy Bell & Jose Ruiz
Style: African Jazz
Choreographer: Sean Cheesman
Song: The Hunt by Mickey Hart
Nigel: Billy felt like a broadway cat. Not powerful enough from either.
Mia: Whatever animal Billy was, I loved it. Jose went for it. Not enough. Weakest performance.
Adam: There’s a moment when Billy has to let go of his lines. Jose has to hit it harder.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of So You Think You Can Dance Season 7 Episode 13, which airs Thursday at 9/8c on Fox.

Ed and Jillian Break Up

It’s been two whole weeks since Jake and Vienna called it quits (and then proceeded to begin sniping at each other as publicly as they possibly could), so I guess now would be antoher good time for another break up story.

The Bachelorette Season 6 couple Ed Swiderski have now broken off their engagement. Technically, Ed and Jillian “are taking some time apart to re-evaluate their relationship,” according to People. Make of that what you will, but I wouldn’t hold much hope for reconciliation.

Still, the timing of this announcement puts them six months ahead of how long Jake and Vienna lasted.
