Why just Evan fans? Kayla and Jeanine appear to be white, too.</p>melissa123Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:17:10 -0000http://www.tonyaplank.com/swan_lake_samba_girl/2009/08/06/so-you-think-you-can-dance-season-five-finale/#comment-14360743<p>I really thought Evan (and Kayla, but especially Evan) looked great during that jive. It was a fun, exciting, and energetic. I'm no expert in the jive, but I thought Evan's technique and movement looked quite good for a non-Latin dancer.</p><p>Sometimes I don't know what the judges are on about. They seem to have critiqued Evan several times this season as if he was a Latin dance (or other ballroom) specialist, while letting other people off the hook easily, for example, telling Phillip his jive was great, also telling Phillip that while his tango technique was bad, the performance was good, when Evan can't seem to buy a compliment for anything other than being a 'nice guy,' despite the fact that he seems to be one of the strongest performers of the season to me. Really, anytime a judge finds himself critiquing someones eyelids (ahem, Nigel), maybe that judge should take a deep breath and realize that he might be going a bit too far.</p><p>Anyway, it doesn't matter to me who wins tonight. I think all four of these guys are great and have been very entertaining over the season. I was, however, thrilled to see Evan make it to the finale, because he has been my favorite and the show would have seemed markedly emptier without him. </p>melissa123Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:32:04 -0000
