There were a number of bold choices in episode 7 of SYTYCD. For the first time in the season we are thrown back into the studio and welcomed by the gorgeous Cat Deeley in a…….is it a very short dress……no, I don’t think that’s it……it is very shimmery…..yes, it must be a dress……oh……it’s shorts! Or to precise, thanks to Google, I now know that is a romper. A romper!! I kept watching, unable to tear my eyes away and I really wanted to hate it. Hate it with a passion! But the more I looked at it the more impressed I was with Cat for making it work for her. She looked stunning and I am now of the total belief that Cat could make a hessian sack look stylish.

So that was episode 7. What were your thoughts?

……Only joking! Of course, I’m sure the top 20 was also announced.

In addition to being talented, professional and dedicated here are my thoughts on the dancers chosen:

 Fik-Shun Stegall (Hip Hop)

What a smile! Fik-Shun has such an open and friendly face and demeanour that he is sure to be popular with the audience.

Mariah Spears (Hip Hop)

Lots of spunk. Twitch is right when he says that there have not been many successful female hip hop artists on the show. Can Mariah change that pattern?

MaKenzie Dustman (Contemporary)

Elegance and poise. MaKenzie has described herself as being unemotional at times. I only hope that that won’t stop her connecting with the audience.

Jasmine Harper (Contemporary)

Full of personality and heart. We love Jasmine already, in part because of her connection to Cyrus.

Tucker Knox (Contemporary)

Tucker has fought against the odds to return to his passion. How far will his determination take him?

Nico Greetham (Contemporary)

Will the audience be as enthusiastic about Nico as his mum is?

Alexis Juliano (Tap)

Brilliant personality and spunk. Love her!

Curtis Holland (Tap)

Boyish enthusiasm and charm plus a heart full of emotion.

Aaron Turner (Tap)

The fact that Aaron nearly missed out again is likely to make him even more determined. I believe he will bring maturity to the show.

Dorian BluPrint (Animation)

A humble artist.

Jade Zuberi (Animation)

Outstanding musicality.

Carlos Garland (Contemporary)

Full of style, charisma and personality.

Hayley Erbert (Contemporary)

Very humble and here’s hoping that a lack of self confidence doesn’t hold Hayley back.

Malece Miller (Contemporary)

Malece so wants to make her mum proud of her and make all her sacrifices worth it. Will that help to keep her focused?

Brittany Cherry (Ballroom)

A dark horse. We have not seen enough of Brittany yet.

Jenna Johnson (Ballroom)

Jenna broke her family curse and is more than ready to prove herself.

Paul Karmiryan (Ballroom)

Paul has already won SYTYCD Armenia. Can he do the same in America?

Alan Bersten (Ballroom)

Will Alan be able to soar without his brother? I think he will.

Amy Yakima (Jazz)

Amy has a beautiful smile and a light that shines out of her.

Jasmine Mason (Jazz)

This is indeed Jasmine’s year and she is ready to embrace the experience wholeheartedly.

Time will tell how all the dancers will fare and who is able to connect with the audience. At this point in time my top 4 favourite guys are Fik_Shun, BluPrint, Carlos and Curtis and my favourite girls are MaKenzie, Alexis, Jenna and Amy.

Are you happy with the top 20? Who are your favourites so far?
