Group - Team Argentina
Up first, Los Huincas Gauchos. They incorporate a mix of dance styles as well as... weapons? Sweet. There are only three mustached guys in the group, two of which are playing drums, while the other looks like he's ready to tango with a bull. Well, I dig the drumming, but where's the dancing? Well I get the feeling these guys are a lame man's imitation of the monks! Apparently, the judges think so too.
Score: 48 (7-7-6-7-6-8-7)
Solo - Mythili Prakash, India
Very engaging dancing I say. Not quite my cup of tea, but I give props where props are due! The judges agree and reward her accordingly. Well... even though she sets "the standard", the standard isn't as "spectacular" as other styles!
Score: 58 (9-8-8-9-8-8-8)
Solo - Kelly Hendry, Ireland
Well, not quite so engaging but good nonetheless. Ballet clogging right? She was pretty good with that style.
Score: 56 (8-8-8-8-8-8)
Duo - Henry Byalikov & Giselle Peacock, Australia
Good looking couple with really good technique. They seems very... ferocious and not quite "human" when dancing with each other. Maybe ferocious is not the word, but that's the best I can come up with right now. Pretty interesting stuff.
Score: 56 (8-8-8-8-8-8-8)
Duo - Victor Da Silva & Claudia Savvides, South Africa
Good looking couple here. They sure do have some chemistry going on... Those lifts, they're pretty awesome! I thought it went well with the music.
Score: 59 (8-8-8-9-8-9-9)
Solo - Yang Yanan, China
One of the monks! Anything these guys do is sweet. That is all.
Score: 51 (8-7-7-7-7-7-8)
Solo - Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards, USA
Now this is some tap dancing, not the crap we saw from the other guy. I really dig this stuff and can only imagine how much goes into tapping. I love it! Gregory Hines should have a talk with these judges.
Score: 55 (7-8-8-7-9-8-8)
Group - Team Russia
Pretty good stuff, especially the super human like acrobatics. Didn't I mention something earlier about people just joining gymnastics?
Score: 51 (7-7-7-7-8-7-8)
Group - Team India
Pretty exciting number. I think the cameramen need to get a better handle still. Looked really good though!
Score: 54 (7-8-7-9-8-7-8)
Solo - Mamela Nyamza, South Africa
Great. Spoken word turned into dance. I hate it.
Score: 58 (9-8-9-8-8-8-8)
Solo - Miriam Larici, Argentina
Ah, the better half of the duet. Pretty cool idea and I enjoyed it as well. Can't really say much more, I mean everyone of these dancers are good!!
Score: 57 (8-8-8-8-8-9-8)
Duo - Damien O'Kane & Bernadette Flynn, Ireland
Damien looks like he's trying to be more of a magician than a dancer in this routine. Bernadette looks very good though. I enjoyed it.
Score: 58 (8-8-8-8-8-9-9)
Duo - Zhen Zhu Zheng & An Nan, China
Gymnastics. Cirque Du Soleil. These people are insane. So are the judges for the scores!
Score: 53 (7-7-7-8-8-7-9)
India and China duos are fired!!
Solo - Maria Kochetkova, Russia
Looked great. Good ballet number.
Score: 63 (9-9-9-9-9-9-9)
Solo - Reed Luplau, Australia
I just don't like the contemporary dances. I can see the guy is great, but I just don't dig it!
Score: 65 (9-10-9-9-9-10-9)
I'm glad the popper made it through. Everyone else deserved to be fired!
Group - Team USA
Really great backstory behind the routine. Great routine with Steven even doing some popping. I loved very second of it!
Score: 67 (9-9-10-10-9-10-10)
Argentina and Russia, you're fired!
