So You Think You Can Dance - Some Quick Thoughts

For the most part, it was a night for the ladies to shine.

Nigel's hair was fluffier than usual, and as Sashafire asks, is it possible for Nigel to look any more like a character from the Simpsons?

Dominic & Sabra, choreographed by Tony Meredith. Another great routine, Dominic was good, but Sabra really pulled ahead with her performance. We'll hate to see them split up next week, but we'll be interested to see how each does with different partners.

Neil & Lauren, choreographed by Mia Michaels. For the first time, we look forward to re-watching their routine, but that may have more to do with Mia than Neil & Lauren. A little out of sync at times, but the movement is finally getting interesting to watch.

Danny & Anya, choreographed by Jean-Marc Genereaux. Jean-Marc's reputation is growing beyond just being the French-Canadian Joe Pesci. He made the foxtrot interesting. As good as Danny was, Anya was even better (full disclosure: we love Anya here). It reminded us of what someone once said about Ginger Rogers. She had to do everything Fred Astaire did, only backwards, in heels. We do hope Danny broke through to some of those who haven't "gotten" him so far. We want them both on tour to do their Viennese Waltz.

Kameron & Lacey, choreographed by Dan Karaty. Their weakest routine so far, and don't blame it on Dan Karaty. Kameron's performance was average at best, Lacey's forgettable, though to be fair, hiphop is not her specialty.
