So You Think You Can Dance Australia - Final 14 Performances

Seizoen: 2 - Aflevering: 13 / 36 - Eerst uitgezonden: 09 maart 2009 - Episode ID: 403714

Two of our Top 14 dancers earned the ultimate accolade from visiting Queen of Scream, Mary Murphy, but one dancer left her “cold” – despite getting a standing ovation from the studio audience. Kat and Talia were the lucky dancers singled out by the SYTYCD America judge to board the Hot Tamale Express. Mary also liked “star” Amy, was “drawn to” Damien, and felt “nothing but love” for Lamb & Tim. Ben & Pania’s opening was “sheer genius”, Danny “won her over” and Penny & Charlie “created a dream-like state”. Gianne & BJ would have been on that train too but for some synch errors. Loredo’s salsa got the crowd stomping but Mary said it left her “a little bit cold”. Who will make Top 12? Have your say – and vote!!! #1 Amy & Damien – Ditched at the altar by Dan Karaty After her “defining moment” with Jason G last week, jazz dancer Amy couldn’t believe her luck when she discovered her choreographer this week was SYTYCD America guest judge and jazz dancing demi-god, Dan Karaty. Dancing to Pink’s “So what” in a routine that left the bride at the altar, Mary said “athletic” Amy was “a star out there” and couldn’t believe “strong” Damien was a ballroom dancer. “Good on you!”, she said, slipping into the local lingo. Matt was glad Amy was “starting to shine” and Damien had done “a very solid job”. Bonnie said Amy was “really going places” and told Damien not to ever doubt himself but warned him “not to over-act”. Only Jason C spotted Amy’s wardrobe malfunction but said she “made it work” and “that’s what I love about you”. However, they’d “lost unison” in places and he encouraged Damien to bring more control to his performance. “But, nice work, both of you”. #2 Lamb & Timomatic – Eternally connected by Dana Jolly Lamb and Timomatic had something to prove last week and lifted themselves out of the Bottom 3. This week they were again out of genre in a Contemporary piece to Regina Spektor’s “Real love” that required 17 lifts and demanded that they maintain physical connection throughout. Matt found it “sweet” but wanted “more highs and lows”. He also would have liked more dancing from Timomatic who’d been little more than a “forklift”. Bonnie had felt “real love” because they were “so together” and had sensed “hesitation” in only one lift. Jason agreed with Matt about Timomatic needing to dance through the lifts and was worried again about Lamb’s “line being a little short”. “But, great job”. Mary thought there was “something special going on in this partnership” even if “the technique was not quite there”. They were reinventing themselves and she was "ready to buy the patent". #3 Gianne & BJ – Hip Hop Soldier by Tiana Joubert Fourth week in, and BJ finally got to dance in his genre in a high-energy hip hop routine by Tiana Joubert that he said was “really me”. Bonnie couldn’t believe it was really Gianne in that camo costume and thought BJ was “solid” and “sharp”. Jason loved the top of the routine because Gianne had “taken ownership” and loved their sexy crawl across the floor – but hoped his niece was in bed. They had “oodles” of versatility and likeability”. Mary would have been “screaming at the top of my lungs” but there were “a couple of places where it wasn’t synchronised”. Matt always expects BJ to give “a solid performance” but Gianne was “the star” because she “hit that so hard”. #4 Penny & Charlie – Waltzing with Jason G Penny & Charlie were doing a Viennese Waltz with Jason Gilkison that our favourite cheerleader said was “the hardest thing I have ever done”. Jason said Penny was “as soft and lovely and beautiful” as her frock and Charlie had handled it “absolutely beautifully” except he had “stepped” rather than “floated”. They were both “serious contenders in this competition”. Ballroom queen Mary said they “portrayed it just right” even if the technique “wasn’t completely there”. Matt got “taken away” and said they were “just killing it on the floor”. Bonnie was concerned that Penny was crying but she just had mascara in her eye – in a comical scene that brought the house down. Bonnie summed it up by saying “the frame of the picture wasn’t perfect but the picture was”. #5 Ben & Pania – Angel meets Devil by Aleeta Blackburn After Krumping with the best of them last week, Jazz dancer Ben was right at home this week in a routine by Aleeta Blackburn to Kings of Leon’s “Crawl” – even if it meant he had to change his Dance For Your Life solo. Mary said “the beginning was sheer genius” even “if the energy did die a little” later. Pania was “fierce” and “sexy” while Ben had “nailed it”. Matt said he always expects them to deliver and tonight was no different. He wanted Pania to finish off her moves, but Ben was “just a great dancer and a great performer”. Bonnie and Jason had a very different take, both sensing that Pania hadn’t entirely committed to the routine. Jason believed she “hadn’t trusted” her choreographer and felt like she was “apologising” while she was dancing. However, Ben was “a great partner and fantastic performer”. #6 Kat & Danny – Nacho’s take on The Joker Kat was delirious to get a Hip Hop routine choreographed by Nacho Pop that asked her to play a victim to Danny’s Heath Ledger-inspired Joker. Matt said Danny had “flipped” last time he was out of genre but this time he’d been “gung ho”. Kat looked really “comfy” but it was a shame they missed the last lift. Bonnie felt Danny could have done it without the mask and Kat “always does a great job”. Jason’s “biggest problem was the unison”. Kat had been good as expected but Danny needed to “let go a little bit” and dance on the back of the beat to match his Hip Hop partner. Mary said Danny had “won me over” while Kat got the full-blooded Mary scream because “you just do it” and “you do it with excellence”. #7 Talia & Loredo – New partners tackle salsa After pairing up for the first time on Tuesday, Loredo & Talia danced a salsa by Luda and Oliver to The Potbelleez’s “Trouble, trouble”. Talia relished the challenge but could they match couples who’d been dancing together for a month? After Loredo & Talia delivered the night’s only standing ovation, Bonnie said they looked like they’d been “working together for weeks”. Jason felt Talia had done “what many ballet dancers can’t do” and that she was “a remarkable young dancer”. Loredo’s lack of lifting experience hadn’t shown because he was “well tuned”. Totally unmoved by the crowd reaction, Mary was “left a little bit cold”. Loredo was dancing on his toes when he needed to “get that centre weight centre down and get into it”. But Talia was “one hot cookie out there” and she got a first class ticket on Mary’s Hot Tamale train. “Yoo-hoo!!!”. Matt felt they were both yet to have “a moment” in the show and hoped they might soon get that opportunity. Nat goes Plat There was time for one more surprise. Jason congratulated host Natalie Bassingthwaighte on her debut solo album “1000 Stars” going #1 and Matt Lee came on stage to present her with Gold and Platinum records. Way to go, Nat! Who will make Top 12? Few dancers emerged unscathed from the judges this week so everyone’s in danger. If you want your favourites to be spared the agony of leaving so close to their Top 10 dream, you know what you’ve got to do. Get on those phones Sunday night and vote!
