Natalie's Top 18 Results Show Music Recap

Here’s your music recap for the Top 18 Results show. Overall some different song choices and then there were those songs that SYTYCD can’t get enough of. Also, different montage songs for the week. I’m wondering if they’re going to change them for every contestant or if they’re going to test a few out and see which one fits best. We’ll find out.

Onto the music…

Shane Spark’s Top 18 routine

In true Shane form, this routine was what I like to call sick nasty. He choreographed to beats and accents that you wouldn’t have noticed without that routine. I’m not a huge fan of this song, but he paused it for a few seconds, added a bullet sound effect and paired it with crazy choreo and he has me hooked.

Song title: Elevator
Artist/Band: Flo Rida feat. Timbaland
Where you’ve heard the song before: It’s on the radio. It’s his other song. The one that’s not about apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur.
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Chelsea Traille’s solo

The song had a really strong bass line. Chelsea chose to dance it a bit more fluid than I thought suited the song, except for the part in the beginning where she sort of contracted. That was the only part of her solo that really hit any kind of beat. Although the more I watch it, the more I almost like how the vocalist and her choreography offset the strong beat.

Song title: Time is Now
Artist/Band: Moloko
Where you’ve heard the song before: Wikipedia is telling me that the Jabbawockeez danced to a remix of this song for the finale. Oh and Roison Murphy is one of the vocalists. She sings Ramalama bang bang.
Where you can listen to the whole song:



More after the jump...
Thayne’s solo

Another song you’ve never heard on this show before. He danced it well. Didn’t use the song in any particular way. Gavin has a new album. I hope they find songs from there that they can use from now on.

Song title: Belief
Artist/Band: Gavin DeGraw
Where you’ve heard the song before: Travis Wall did his Top 10 solo to the stripped version of this song.
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Susie’s solo

I don’t even know what to say about this one. So I won’t.

Song title: The Anthem
Artist/Band: Pitbull feat. Lil John
Where you’ve heard the song before: Go to Wikipedia and you can find some interesting facts about the song.
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Marquis’s solo

This show is about more than just tricks. In fact, last season, the guy who was all about tricks, at first, finished 3rd overall. Because they gave him a chance to grow and become more than just jumps and turns. Having said that, his solo was amazing and more than what Nigel made it out to be. [\end rant]. Even if I was a little put off that he used a song that I could do without hearing for a very long time, I think that he was the most dynamic out of all of them. Dancing almost above the song.

Song title: Stop and Stare
Artist/Band: OneRepublic
Where you’ve heard the song before: You’ve never heard this song before. Ever. Especially on this show. I mean, they have a whole album. Pick a different song.
Where you can listen to the whole song:





Comfort’s solo

I’m glad we finally got to see her do something that she choreographed. She used every part of her song. She even used the “So You Think You Can Dance” at the very end. And it wasn’t an afterthought. I feel like she actually planned it. I’m a fan.

Song title: Planet Rock
Artist/Band: Afrika Bambaataa
Where you’ve heard the song before: The song came out in ’82, which means it’s older than some of you. But you may recognize it from the video game NBA 2K7. Or not. More info over at Wikipedia.
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Chris’s solo

I love John Legend. I love Chris for using him for his solo. I wasn’t in love with his choreography, but I think that he danced some parts well with the song.

Song title: Again
Artist/Band: John Legend
Where you’ve heard the song before: It’s on his album Once Again. You may have heard it there.
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Flo Rida’s performance

Song title: In the Ayer
Artist/Band: Flo Rida
Where you’ve heard the song before: It’s fairly new, so like last week’s performance, I’m sure this will make the rounds on the radio very soon.
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Girls Goodbye Montage

I’m a bit confused about the montage songs. Are they changing them every week? It looks like they might. Kate Voegele last week. Idina this week. I think they may be raiding my iPod, since all of these artists make the rotation while I’m bored at work. I have to say, as much as I love Idina, I liked last week’s song better.

Song title: Brave
Artist/Band: Idina Menzel
Where you’ve heard the song before: Unless you’re an Idina fan, you’ve probably never heard this song. But you may recognize her name from Wicked. If you haven’t heard of her or anything she’s done, check that soundtrack out.
Where you can listen to the whole song:





Guy’s Goodbye Montage

Again, great song. Not sure how I feel about changing the song each week. I do get bored easily, so maybe changing this up will offset the fact that we will probably have to listen to Stop and Stare 23 times more this season.

Song title: Wonderful World
Artist/Band: James Morrison
Where you’ve heard the song before: I’m sure you’ve heard this song. It was released in 2006. Listen to his album, Undiscovered.
Where you can listen to the whole song:




That’s all for now. I’ll be back next week!

Natalie's Top 18 Music

I’m going to try something a little different this week. A little more music recap and how it affected the dance. A little less where you’ve heard it before and what else you might like. Let me know if you like it. Hate it. Want me to stop talking all together.

Overall the show was, as everyone else has been saying, a little bit skewed in the judging. But I’m not here to talk about that, I’m here to talk about the music.

First up…

Chelsea & Thayne’s Jazz routine choreographed by Mandy Moore

For this one, I think the music may have overpowered them both. The bass was strong in the song and the choreography had the potential to hit certain beats but neither of them really used it to their advantage. The parts of the song with just the strings in it was great. I think that they used those portions well. But once the beat picked up again, neither of them danced it strong enough. For me.

Song title: Untouched
Artist/Band: The Veronicas
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Chelsie & Mark’s Argentine Tango choreographed by Alex Da Silva

I loved this one. The music was wonderful and I was especially a fan of the part right before the music changed and got a stronger back beat. Wonderful choreography and great execution. I will say that I could have done with the random phrases in the background. Distracting much? Other than that, loved the song paired with the dance.

Song title: Mi Confesion
Artist/Band: Gotan Project
Where you can listen to the whole song:



MORE AFTER THE JUMP...
Jessica & Will’s Hip Hop routine choreographed by Cecily and Olisa

Just when you thought you could get away from the Pussycat Dolls. No dice. Will’s movement “fit” better with the song and choreography. She was very “up” and the song required her to be a little bit more grounded. At least that’s how I felt. Not too much to say about this one.

Song title: Whatever U Like
Artist/Band: Nicole Scherzinger
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Kourtni and Matt’s Foxtrot choreographed by Jean-Marc Genereux

I really liked this song for the Foxtrot. I think it started out well and then went downhill from there. I really liked how Jean-Marc used some lyrics literally. Like when Kourtni fell and Matt caught her during the word “down”. It’s the little things with me. Once the choreography started getting a bit more intricate, Kourtni and Matt “lost” the song a bit. It gave them the right mood though. Old Hollywood elegance, as Mia said.

Song title: A Foggy Day (in London Town)
Artist/Band: Michael Buble
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Courtney and Gev's Contemporary routine choreographed by Mandy Moore


Mandy Moore is a genius, first off. She also took the lyrics and used them literally. In the beginning from Courtney sitting on Gev’s knees and melting into the ground and then ending up in front of each other to match the words. Loved it. I also liked how Mandy used the music when Gev outlined her face with his hands and Courtney pulsed forward. Even though I wasn’t a fan overall, I liked some of the little nuances paired with the song.

Song title: Lost
Artist/Band: Anouk
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Katee and Joshua’s Broadway routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio

I actually think these two outperformed the song. Their energy was way above the song which is uncommon for Broadway on this show. The music normally tells the story for this type of dance. Not much else to say. I loved all of it.

Song title: All for the Best
Artist/Band: Godspell (2001 Revival Broadway Cast)
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Susie and Marquis’s Salsa choreographed by Alex Da Silva

Total opposite of the last routine. The song schooled these two. I feel like they were fighting the whole time to keep up with the horns and strong beat. I just wasn’t a fan of how they danced with the music. Which is strange because Susie danced to this song for her audition.

Song title: Aguanile
Artist/Band: Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Kherington and Twitch’s Viennese Waltz choreographed by Jean-Marc

You want emotion? Dance to a Celine Dion song. The song and the backstory and the choreography worked seamlessly together.

Song title: A New Day Has Come
Artist/Band: Celine Dion
Where you can listen to the whole song:




Comfort and Chris’s Krump routine choreographed by Lil C

Lil C’s choreography is always “hard hitting” as the judges like to point out. I was not crazy about it. The way they danced with the song was off for some reason. I’m not sure what else to say.

Song title: Come and Get Me
Artist/Band: Timbaland feat. 50 Cent and Tony Yayo
Where you can listen to the whole song:




There you have it, your first “music recap”. Leave your thoughts.
