Viewers will get their first crack at voting for season six of "So You Think You Can Dance" tonight after the week three performances.
The performances
Channing & Victor - Contemporary
- Adam - Thought this performance will bring them back in to the competition; Loves how well Channing has adapted to a new partner; Movements were such a high quality
- Nigel - Technical side of dance was wonderful; Wasn't feeling it on the emotional side perhaps because the characters were emotionally difficult to grasp
- Mary - Great partnership; Enjoyed the routine
- Manchester TV Examiner -So romantic; Beautiful lifts; Channing's turns and leg extensions were beautiful; Very passionate; Loved this side of Victor; Love this couple together
Noelle & Russell - African Jazz
- Adam - Totally connected to the characters; Fantastic time watching it
- Nigel - Fantastic lines; Russell is living up to the title of star; Noelle was much improved from last week
- Mary - Crazy good; Got so much more than expected from both dancers
- Manchester TV Examiner - Interesting choreography, but it didn't grab me; Russell was definitely a stand out because of his strong motions and fantastic facial expressions; Noelle was looking down or to the side too much; Loved the move where they flipped over one another multiple times
Ashleigh & Jakob - Jazz
- Adam - Saw one little stumble ( a stumble no one else noticed); Ashleigh was elegant, mature and fiery; Loves seeing each week how the choreographer incorporates Jakob's leaps
- Nigel - Felt the couple worked as a unit this week; Couple did a wonderful job fitting in to the characters without losing themselves
- Mary - Couple is a perfect match; Loved the use of a prop cane; Ashleigh keeps getting better and better every week
- Manchester TV Examiner - Stunning; Fantastic; First time I really saw Ashleigh stand out next to Jakob; One of my favorite performances of the season so far; Could've watched this performance over and over again thanks to unbelievable choreography
Mollee & Nathan - Salsa
- Adam - This style showed all of the couple's weaknesses; Spins were out of control
- Nigel - Looked uncomfortable
- Mary - Not sexy; Wasn't the couple's brightest moment; Side-by-side work was not synchronized
- Manchester TV Examiner - Couple seemed stiff, mostly in their upper body; Didn't enjoy it at all; Seemed so out of their comfort zone; Lots of stumbles and several times the couple got caught in one another
Karen & Kevin - Hustle
- Adam - The couple made the Hustle work for them; Kevin finally jumped out; Karen performed with restraint this time
- Nigel - So delighted with Kevin's technical side; Karen is always on top of the choreography, which is a good thing
- Mary - Loved that Karen was leading Kevin from beginning to end; Impressed with Kevin's performance; Karen was a Hustle queen
- Manchester TV Examiner - The couple made the lifts look effortless; Loved the choreography and partner work; Fantastic; Very beautiful
Kathryn & "Legacy" - Broadway
- Adam - Didn't agree with Kathryn's character, thought she needed to be more aggressive; Performance showed huge growth for "Legacy"
- Nigel - Disappointed with Kathryn but not sure why; "Legacy" lives up to being an inspiration for choreographers every week
- Mary - Great characters and great choreography but missing great chemistry; "Legacy" is growing much more than Kathryn
- Manchester TV Examiner - Adorable choreography; Kathryn was beautiful, and her leaps and turns were perfect with perfect pointed toes; "Legacy" had a terrific amount of energy and spunk
Pauline & Pete - Quickstep
- Adam - Loved the theme; Definitely had a few moments of stumbling
- Nigel - Technical points were not perfect but personality overshadow the mistakes
- Mary - The performance was amazing, even though the Quickstep may have not been perfect; Pauline needed to be closer to Paul during the holds; Couple needs to work on body connection if they get Quickstep again
- Manchester TV Examiner - Most interesting Quickstep I've seen but not my favorite; I don't love this pairing; It looked like Pete was stumbling over Pauline's feet a few times
Ellenore & Ryan - Hip-Hop
- Adam - Ryan is the most transformed dancer of the night; Not great but really good
- Nigel - Wasn't good at all; Didn't feel like the personalities matched the style
- Mary - Was a little sluggish half way through; Were a few spots that weren't synchronized
- Manchester TV Examiner - Couple moved like one 97 perfect of the time; Ryan proved he is very versatile by rocking this performance
Next episode - Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009: The field is narrowed to 14 dancers when two dancers are eliminated
