Judges thoughts- Nigel Lythgoe: amazing contemporary dancers and choreographer, you are the ultimate male and female dancers this year; Mia Michaels: stunning, gorgeous, amazing connection; Adam Shankman: so honest and real, intimate, embodied everything it was supposed to be.

Blogger’s thoughts: I completely agree with the judges. I absolutely LOVE this piece. These two dancers are by far my favorites in Season 7 and I was exstatic they were the top two. Kent Boyd is beyond precious, but also a terrific dancer in every style. Girls are obviously swooning over this cute, blond-haired, and blue-eyed teenage boy and to top it off, he can dance! Lauren is the same way by being able to do every style successfully. This season was incredible and I would definately suggest watching specifically this season. I can’t wait until next season!

Judges thoughts on “If It Kills Me”: Nigel Lythgoe: “that was just beautiful,” both of you are stars tonight; Mary Murphy: lost for words, “you two are staaaars!”; Debbie Allen: the piece is brilliant, “a magical pairing”, “bravo!”

Jeanine Mason and Philip Chbeeb do a hip-hop routine to “Mad” by Ne-Yo. Choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon D’umo. The storyline is of a couple that is mad at each other but can’t go to sleep angry.

Judges thoughts on “Mad”: Adam Shankman: “that was un-freakin-real”; Mary Murphy: agree completely with adam; Nygel Lythgoe: fabulous, brilliant, well done

Blogger’s thoughts: These two dances are trully unforgetable and unbelievably good. I get chills watching them. I really liked season 5 because there were so many different styles presented in the contestants.
