8:53 PM Welcome to the season 4 finale of So You Think You Can Dance - the live blogging session.
8:54 PM If you want to join in the blogging session, you can just follow this link. C’mon! Join in!!
8:56 PM Well, the results are already tallied and the winner as already been chosen by America. But we still don’t know who it is.
8:56 PM Who do you think will win this season? Twitch? Joshua? Courtney? Katee?
8:56 PM What are the odds in Vegas?
8:57 PM Hi! I wouldn’t venture a guess on odds.
8:58 PM 2 minutes and we’ll find out…..oh, and about 1h59m of filler :)
8:58 PM I’m expecting tonight’s show to be spectacular!
8:58 PM Right! :-)
8:59 PM But the filler should be great too!
9:00 PM Ok, now I’m getting upset. There’s a thunderstorm happening outside and I have satellite TV! Right now, my signal just died. Yikes!!
9:00 PM You’ll have to watch the liveblog :D
9:00 PM Cat totally has a tassles/cowboy dress-thing going on
9:01 PM I’m counting on you Jonathan!!
9:01 PM They are going through the whole top 20
9:01 PM lol Will got presented without a partner.
9:02 PM Big applause for the top 4
9:02 PM Maybe Jessica is still injured
9:02 PM Ya, that’s probably it
9:02 PM Cat calls them all her “babies” :D
9:03 PM SHE SLIPPED AND SAID WILL WON! (just kidding)
9:03 PM 6 choerographers on the panel tonight including Debby Allan
9:04 PM Oh, she couldn’t do it before because of Will
9:04 PM Adam’s dance movie (that the winner will be in) is going to be in 3D: “Step up: 3D”
9:05 PM Retrospective video of the whole season
9:06 PM Showing Twitch saying, “I’m going to the Navy if this doesn’t work out”
9:06 PM Showing the top 20 announcements…..they were all so happy. And look WAY younger :)
9:07 PM David Cook’s song playing overtop of the video (surprise, surprise)
9:08 PM Shane Sparks dance with all top 20
9:08 PM Song: BOOM/SIN
9:09 PM I’m glad to see Kherington again ;) I swear I don’t remember 1/2 these people
9:10 PM Gev just did a crazy move and “vibrated” under a line of all the dancers! Wild!
9:10 PM lol This is no where as tight as some of the recent performances
9:10 PM Nice, at the end just the finale 4 were standing (they look tired)
9:11 PM it’s been a hard season
9:11 PM How’s your TV, Lynn?
9:11 PM it blinks on now and then, but still out…the storm seems to be passing
9:14 PM ok, can it be? the signal’s back!!! Hurray!!!
9:14 PM Jonathan, you totally rock!!! Thanks so much!!!
9:15 PM Nigel’s favorite this season was Bollywood
9:15 PM Joshua & Katee dancing Bollywood
9:15 PM Nigel is in a bowtie = classy
9:15 PM Katee and Joshua Bollywood routine
9:15 PM They are awesome at this one!
9:16 PM They look happy and relaxed to me
9:16 PM the pressure’s over
9:17 PM What a fun dance style! you can’t help but smile.
9:17 PM My g/f: “They’re hooking up…totally”
9:17 PM Mary chooses Courtney & Gev’s Rumba
9:18 PM Gev got a haircut
9:18 PM I think Gev’s happy to be touching Courtney again :)
9:18 PM They really do have great chemistry
9:18 PM How the heck do they remember these dances???
9:19 PM they have to do a lot of practice!!
9:19 PM That’s the move Gev liked the best
9:19 PM The butt grab? Is that really a dance move? :)
9:19 PM Very nice and sexy dance. Great!
9:20 PM Courtney’s boyfriend should be jealous
9:20 PM If the choreographers tell you to do it, it’s a dance move
9:20 PM The poplocker danceoff is next!
9:20 PM he might be jealous|
9:20 PM I have been looking forward to this! These two guys are incredible
9:21 PM Huge ad for ‘So you think you can dance Canada’
9:22 PM I wish I could watch it here. :-(
9:22 PM I thought you had satellite ;)
9:22 PM If more people in Canada would pout clips on YouTube, I could grab them and share them here in the US… ;-)
9:23 PM Yes, but we only get signals from US stations. I even got the online 500+ stations, but they block the primetime shows from all the other countries.
9:23 PM They’ll probably all be posted in CTV’s video player
9:23 PM I tired to watch Big Brother UK and it detected my IP address and wouldn’t let me
9:24 PM I hope so!!! FOX doesn’t post the videos and turns off people’s accounts on YouTube if they post vids from FOX shows. They are picky about it.
9:24 PM Maybe CTV isn’t so picky
9:25 PM MDM: Come join the blogging! :-)
9:25 PM Welcome!
9:25 PM So I miss anything big yet?
9:25 PM Gev grabbing Courtney’s butt…..again
9:25 PM LOL I missed the first 10 minutes or so because my satellite signal was lost in a storm.
9:26 PM Nice!
9:26 PM Robert Muraine vs. Philip Chebib: Dance off!
9:27 PM These two are amazing
9:27 PM …but only one of them got the Ikea commercials :)
9:27 PM LOL
9:27 PM Popping is a funk dance and street dance style based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer’s body, referred to as a pop or a hit. This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses. A popping dancer is commonly referred to as a popper.
9:27 PM Song” Stronger Kanye West
9:28 PM Robert wins for the cool glasses :)
9:28 PM Philip is damn good though!
9:28 PM Robert is more “robot”. Philip might be doing more dancing
9:28 PM I don’t think either one of them has any bones in their body
9:29 PM Your body should not move like that. They must be broken.
9:29 PM Robert has more different moves I think. He slow motion stuff in insane.
9:30 PM Love the space Pac-Man t-shirt.
9:30 PM They are both amazing, but I have to go with Robert
9:30 PM I say Robert Muraine won it, hands down.
9:31 PM Mia votes for Phillip
9:31 PM Adam Shankman: Robert is a freak of nature and he votes for him
9:32 PM Debbie Allen: Votes for Robert because of theatrics
9:32 PM Nigel: likes Robert’s sarcasm
9:32 PM Mary: Robert gets the scream
9:32 PM That chick is crazy!!!
9:32 PM Philip is looking a little dejected
9:32 PM Lil C: says thye’re both BUUUUCK
9:33 PM Lil C: Robert was so musical
9:33 PM Lil C: “it serrrrrrves”
9:34 PM Did Robert just grab the mic there?
9:34 PM Cat wants them to teach her some moves…”well, first, remove all your bones, then …”
9:34 PM I think the crowd is going to spontaneously explode when the Jonas Brothers go on
9:34 PM He was a very gracious winner.
9:35 PM I may be the only human alive that isn’t a fan….I hope no one holds that against me…
9:36 PM Not me…can’t stand boy bands at any level.
9:36 PM TV Guide talked to Wade Robson about choreographing the dance for the top 4 last night.
9:36 PM here’s the clip
9:37 PM community.tvguide.com
9:38 PM I just watched the full Ikea commercial with Robert Muraine. It’s crazy!
9:39 PM Top 11 dancers are going to be on tour including Jessica and Comfort
9:39 PM Adam is totally pimping ‘Step Up’ tonight. Cat: “Have you been selling tickets??”
9:40 PM Adam chooses Comfort & Twitch dancing hip-hop
9:40 PM Song: Forever Chris Brown
9:40 PM Now those are some awesome glasses!
9:41 PM This is the best thing Comfort ever did
9:42 PM I agree. She was out of her element for most of the season
9:42 PM Lil C talks FOREVER.
9:43 PM Lil C chooses Mark & Chelsie
9:43 PM I like the poetic way he talks
9:43 PM Routine is called “Bleeding Love”/Leona Lewis
9:43 PM This one was really great!
9:44 PM I think this might be my favourite. Either that or the Joshua/Katee army routine
9:45 PM I loved the one with Will and I think it was Katee…it was extraordinary!!
9:45 PM In the boat?
9:45 PM I think so
9:46 PM OMG! MAry is dancing
9:46 PM At least Mary is not talking.
9:46 PM WTF!
9:46 PM Mary Murphy dancing with Dmitry
9:47 PM She has great legs.
9:47 PM It scares me that I’m a little attracted to Mary right now
9:47 PM LOL
9:47 PM Now we see why she judges ballroom
9:47 PM LOL you’re funny
9:47 PM That was Dmitri from season 2
9:48 PM I feel so dirty now
9:48 PM They are going to eliminate one of the top 4 after the break
9:48 PM I want to see Mia Michaels dance
9:48 PM right
9:48 PM Stop that! :-)
9:49 PM Oh, she’s very good too. I have posted some vids of her and Tyce Diorio teaching a dance class…very impressive
9:50 PM We also got to see a group dance choregraphed by Nigel a couple of weeks ago too. I’m glad the judges are getting into the act too.
9:52 PM Here comes the top 3….(I’d bet it’s Courtney)
9:53 PM Mia: this season has been the best for choreography
9:53 PM Mia chooses the pas des deux
9:53 PM Katee & Will..is this the one I loved…?
9:54 PM Song: Imagine/David Artuleto
9:54 PM Ok…I love Katee even more now. :-)
9:54 PM They didn’t screw up the lift they did the first time. Nigel will be happy they archived that :)
9:55 PM They are the most technical dancers this season. That was perfect!!
9:55 PM BRAVO!!
9:55 PM Nigel is fist pumping in the air!
9:56 PM Adam is trying to continue but can’t get over that routine
9:57 PM Adam Shankman chooses Sonya’s piece called the Garden.
9:57 PM this one is great too
9:57 PM Yah, another of my favs
9:59 PM I think it’s great, but couldn’t they have sprung for the other stocking…? ;-)
9:59 PM I loved Mark’s expression at the very end under foot :)
9:59 PM Time to eliminate one of the top 4….
9:59 PM uh, oh. someone is being eliminated —> Courtney
10:00 PM We all thought that might be the case
10:00 PM She was fantastic, but just not better than the rest ;)
10:02 PM Aw, she’s sweet
10:02 PM Someone just gave her a MASSIVE bouquet of flowers
10:03 PM honestly, I can see any of the final three winning it all. It’s a tough decision this time.
10:04 PM @Lynn: You are really missing this SYTYCD Canada ad. It’s epic
10:04 PM Oh, man…I hope I can find a way to watch that!
10:08 PM You’re also missing the Ashlee Simpson/Zellers ad :| So at least you got that
10:08 PM Next up, it’s: Five Guys Named Moe/Joe Jackson (Nigel choreographed this)
10:09 PM Is this the dance that Nigel choreographed?
10:10 PM How the heck did Will get voted off again? :)
10:10 PM That was totally fun! He really can choreograph. ;-)
10:11 PM I still have no idea how Will didn’t win this season
10:11 PM Woo-hoo
10:11 PM Cirque de Soleil is next
10:11 PM Wade Robson and the cast of Criss Angel| / Believe
10:11 PM Love the Cirque.
10:11 PM “Homeage to all the Rabbits who died at the hands of incompetent magicians”
10:11 PM this is so totally Wade Robson
10:11 PM Song: Homage to the Rabits
10:12 PM Did he do the foxes routine last year?
10:12 PM yes.
10:13 PM I love the coffin with the bunny ears sticking out
10:13 PM the costumes are wonderful
10:14 PM Not that is timing. They are like one.
10:14 PM That’s Wade, isn’t it? He may have been one of the dancers
10:14 PM They should make a musical out of just the bunnies from this
10:15 PM LOL I think this is one of the numbers from the musical in Vegas
10:15 PM It’s at the Luxor Hotel in Vegas
10:15 PM About to cut one more
10:15 PM NO WAY!!!!!
10:15 PM Another elimination —> Katee!
10:15 PM Katee is out!!!f
10:15 PM It’s….Katee!
10:15 PM I’m shocked!!
10:16 PM I’m shocked too! That’s unbelieveable!! I thought she was going to win it all
10:16 PM Mia looks totally shocked
10:16 PM Two dudes. I’m out of here…
10:16 PM She is fabulous, that’s for sure
10:17 PM Yeah two dudes…it’s like when Travis & Benji were the final two
10:17 PM 2 hiphop dudes
10:17 PM Do you remember the Tranji dance? it was one of my favorites too
10:18 PM I just keep seeing those amazing jumps Joshua did in the Russian dance last night. He might win.
10:18 PM But then, Twitch has that fantastic personality.
10:18 PM There’s a prize for the top girl
10:18 PM 50 G’s for top girl!!!
10:18 PM Cat told her that she gets $50,000
10:18 PM More huge flowers
10:19 PM OMG!! The Jonas Brothers…I hope you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go refill my water glass…. ;-)
10:19 PM So the 3rd from the top wins something, but the 2nd from the top doesn’t? That’s going to be a little weird
10:20 PM I’m going to have a beer to get me through the Jonas Brothers. 4real
10:20 PM Well, they said the top girl and the top boy. (aren’t they men and women…?)
10:20 PM If you have a British accent you can get away with some light sexual harassment :)
10:21 PM Twich will win… I hope :)
10:22 PM I think you might be more right if you say that “if you look like Cat Deeley and you have a British accent you can get away with it.” ;-)
10:25 PM Debbie Allen says that on SYTYCD what it means to win is to have heart.
10:25 PM Her academy is dancing now.
10:25 PM Is Nigel one of her dance students? :D
10:25 PM It looks like a future season of his show…
10:26 PM Nigel is tap dancing with them.
10:26 PM Nigel takes the stage!
10:27 PM He just got schooled by a little kid
10:27 PM He looks younger or something when he’s dancing
10:27 PM It was a fun tap dance routine to a disco song. What fun!
10:28 PM That’s what dancing does. It makes us all look and feel younger. It’s really magic, didn’t you know? :-)
10:28 PM Adam Shankman wants to battle dance Nigel
10:29 PM Adam just challenged Nigel next season!
10:29 PM Mary’s favourite routine is The Door with Twitch and Katee
10:29 PM Mary chooses to see the Twitch and Katee doing the Mia number with the door
10:30 PM Song: Mercy/Duff
10:31 PM That was another of my favorites too. Twitch was incredible…and believable.
10:32 PM I love how everybody always comments on Mia Michael’s relationships :)
10:32 PM I loved what Nigel said when they did it the first time. That it happened to him all the time…women banging on his door, but eventually they manage to get out…
10:32 PM “Right Mary?”
10:33 PM I love how just none of us are liveblogging the Jonas Brothers :)
10:34 PM LOL! I think we already established how we feel about them
10:34 PM [INSERT GENERIC CRAP SINGING HERE]
10:34 PM LOL!!! too funny
10:34 PM LOL Whose this guy rapping on stage?!?! LOL
10:34 PM Are they still on.
10:35 PM HAHAHA IS that their security guard? LOL
10:35 PM I think they just ended. WOW! 60 million votes last night!
10:35 PM With all the screaming girls, they probably need a security guard…
10:37 PM Only about 20 more minutes and we’ll know the winner.
10:37 PM Are you going to the tour performances?
10:37 PM Tonight went fast, eh?
10:37 PM Yes. This is really a fun way to watch the show!
10:37 PM My girlfriend and her friends are ;) I’m not
10:37 PM Why not?
10:38 PM I couldn’t admit I wanted to go :)
10:38 PM Silly! There’s now evidence on the internet that you like the show!
10:38 PM I’m going to change my name, or start liveblogging beer and sports :)
10:39 PM LOL! And wear a disguise
10:39 PM Are you going to the tour performances?
10:39 PM Of course! Actually, I got comp tickets. But I would go anyway. :-)
10:40 PM Just 2 more performances before they announce the winner
10:41 PM Debbie chooses the dance with Twitch & Kherington (She did her Lil C impression - hilarious!)
10:41 PM Debby’s doing a killer Lil C immitation
10:41 PM Song: A New Day Has Come/Celine Dion
10:42 PM This was the Jean-Marc one for his daughter
10:42 PM Twitch looks really hot in that white suit
10:42 PM That’s right! It really is a magical one.
10:42 PM Jean-Marc is from Quebec. Canadian pride! (and Celine too of course)
10:43 PM That was beautiful. Great choice!
10:43 PM Twitchington together again
10:44 PM Nigel chooses Tabitha & Naopoleon’s hip-hop with Katee & Joshua
10:44 PM Song: No Air/ Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown
10:45 PM Joshua has kissed Katee like 3 times tonight
10:45 PM No, that was Twitch that kissed her in the door routine
10:45 PM She’s just been kissing the guys…
10:46 PM True, but either way, that girl is macking up the guys tonight
10:46 PM I don’t see that any of them mind it
10:46 PM Does Katee have any other expression besides a smile. It’s nice and everything but some dances need a little more.
10:46 PM Look at that hug! They are totally hooking up
10:46 PM Look back at some other seasons
10:47 PM Blake is the guy in the SYTYCD Canada commercials. He’s going to be a judge
10:48 PM Cedric (season 3) is dancing with Debbie Allen now
10:48 PM Lacey has her own clothing line now

10:51 PM that’s Anya in the red
10:51 PM We’re about to find out who wins….
10:51 PM They announce the winner after the break
10:54 PM The suspence is killing me!
10:55 PM Me too!
10:55 PM TELL US WHO WINS! :)
10:55 PM I think it might still be Twitch because people love him, but Joshua has been so impressive
10:56 PM Here we go….
10:56 PM I think it could go either way
10:56 PM And the winner is…
10:57 PM And the winner is –> Joshua
10:57 PM Joshua wins So You Think You Can Dance Season 4!

10:59 PM Joshua: Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do anything
10:59 PM Amazing season!

11:00 PM 4real from the top 20 at the end
11:00 PM Yah, I would have been happy with either of them
11:00 PM It was a fantastic ending to a truly fabulous seson. I don’t know how they will be able to top it in season 5, but I’m sure they’ll figure out a way.
