Typing this up super quick but last night's SYSYCD's final group dance was actually based on a true story from one of my favorite documentaries! It's called
The Angel Makers of Nagyrév. Yup, in a village in Hungary a group of women took to poisoning men, the number varies from a believable 45 to a rather unbelievable 300. If you can track down the documentary, it's well worth seeing.
Posting because it was well done and I fell in lust with the song used, it's haunting and I immediately bought it.

I was disappointed to find out that the judges watch rehearsals, that can only serve to prejudice their take on the actual performances. It seemed like Kristen Chenoweth was hell bent on saying the Foxtrot was her favorite dance going back to when she saw it in the rehearsals. Tyce Diorio continues to be an ass and taking every chance he can to reduce the female dancers to little more than on stage sex objects. The number he choreographed for Miranda and Robert had Tyce gleefully saying that Miranda was playing the role of a hooker for no good reason because the dance worked without that piece of information. I don't know what Lil C was saying about isolations needing to be performed with the whole body, isolations by definition, are all about isolating the movement of one part of the body.
My favorite, after sleeping on it, was Melanie and Marko's
sweet lyrical hip hop, followed by the
mattress routine so it was a Nappy Tabs sweep. Still, I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the
samba was easily THE BEST SAMBA EVER! The hip action both dancers showed was off the charts great. I just can't with the level of talent on the show this year, THESE KIDS ARE SO GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
