Review
The first couple to dance for this very eventful night were Sly and Jojo again. They are dancing with Elvis' Little Less Conversation JLX remix(one of my favourite song). I must say it was an awesome start. Sly's posture and groove were definitely his strongest perks and it shows very very clearly in this dance. And he actually looks very manly, and handsome if i must say. and it sounds gay but what the hell, he's good! Jojo put on an awesome show of her versatility and playful expression which is good. Totally in the mood. Nicely executed difficult stuntS(yeah alot of stunts!),Nice song and nice choreography. Very fun piece!
Second couple was Black & Sim. Please note their choreographer, William being ever playful at the back when Aishah introducing the couple. haha.. Again, Sim totally stood out, overshadowing the competition's early favourite, Black. BUT, their chemistry for this dance undeniably too strong and too real, it almost seems like they are lovers. The expression was spot on, the moves were nicely executed. Nice ending. It's just Black seems to let loose his arms when he poses and it doesn't show his toughness. But then, Black is a gentlement in that dance, it was very nice to see. Smooth and beautiful. Sim? I think she possessed the best techniques compared to every other contestants and that saids it all, she's great. Great chemistry, perfect execution, great choreography by William & Luisa.
Third and last couple, Hong & CC. This is undoubtedly the best performance of the night, all the judges were echoing the praise one after another. Last week, Hong & CC totally blew everyone off when there are alot of doubts cast on this couple. They have set a standard last week and I must say they continued their best form this week with this SUPER HOT, very very provocative, very very seductive and definitely SEXAYYY piece.
Hong, he had his down time in this competition about a month ago and he bounced back so strongly in these past weeks its just amazing. He even exceeded expectation by showing his best form in this competition. Thought the nerd dance were good? Look at this piece, look at his expression, look at his energy, it was phenomenal! Bravo hong! As for CC, renowned Latin Queen on the dance floor, showing what she does best yet again but even better. When I say this couple was in their best form, I definitely meant it. They hit 6th gear and never slowed down. CC's long legs compliment her sizzling moves beautifully and Ramli was right, those legs are meant to dance. Her expression during the dance was hard to resist, it was extremely seductive~ With that face, that pair of legs, the charm, and with that huge..Ahem..i mean HUGE fan base(Ruums was flooded by her fans, that says it all), she's definitely the favourite to win this competition now.
Dance for survival(SOLO)
Sly is the first to perform his solo. As usual, he did krumping/hip hop along with a very catchy song, Show me the money by Petey Pablo(soundtrack of the movie Step Up1). To be honest, I get a lil bit bored with his krumping now because apart from his tireless moves, it looks all the same. Not innovative, why not add on some breakdancing? some hand stand? or some popping? 60 seconds of pure krumping, identical arm movements really bores me. Hey, maybe it's just me but overall, it was a strong and powerful(as usual) solo by Sly.
Next up, Hong. He's just an amazing dancer. Yet again, he showed his ability to handle, adapt and master diffrent genres by performing a beautiful piece of contemporary. The song was Sempurna by Andra and the backbone, what a song to dance with. Beautiful execution for some of the harder moves and it makes the whole routine deserve an 11/10 score. It reminds me of Fai's dance for survival though
Black is the last guy. Dancing with MJ's song and trying to potray MJ as much as possible was definitely a huge challenge for any dancer. If I were Black, I'd say, "No problem!" and he not only able to relive MJ's famous moves, he innovate the piece by changing the attitude. MJ's attitude to me are always cool looking, sexy and slick. Black's attitude in this piece was funky, delightful expression, sexy and slick. So it was really an awesome performance, nicely executed moves, make good use of the stage and so playful any girl would scream! It was hard for me to pick who's the best solo male dancer between Black & Hong but I think Hong was slightly better because I can actually "feel" the message from hong's performance that touched my heart. Yet I can only feel the fun factor in Black's performance and thats all. It's hard to decide between them.
For the girls, Jojo was the first to perform along with Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love. I'm slighyly dissapointed with the message she sent in this piece. To me, this song brings alot of sadness feeling yet Jojo, who awesomely showed anger in her dance instead of sadness. It seems she have lost her mind, gone crazy yet very nice moves. What she wanna show from her dance were clearly showed, anger, frustration but not enough sadness. So it was hard for me to connect with the dance. Overall, it was nicely executed.
And then it was CC, another Latin piece. Yes, it's the same old genre that CC has been doing all her life but hell, she's a master of the genre, that's undeniable. Teasing, seducting, sexy, very fast footworks and accurate timing. It was sizzling as usual, good but not great. bores me a little.
Next up, Sim, the invicible Sim who never got into the bottom, I just realised that when Aishah said so. Suhaili choreographed the piece and I must say, out of so many choreographer on this show, Suhaili is the best. She's a genius. and Sim without any problem, performed the best solo among the girls to me. It was "CANTIK"...
and then, The Guys performed a Malay contemporary while the girls performed a hip hop piece.
In the end, Malaysian has decided with their votes, Sly & Jojo couldn't make it to the TOP 4..
TO summarize tonight's show, contestants' costumes were nicely picked and matched, very pleasing to the eyes
and then song selections were awesome. All of the Top 6 really live up to the expectation, they deserve to be the Top 6, it's unfortunate 2 of them got to go. NEXT WEEK, THE FINALE!
Prediction
I think it's impossible to pick a winner out of 4 of them. But my guts gave me the feeling that the battle between Black & Hong, Hong might just win it with a very narrow edge. As for CC & Sim, I must admit, Sim is invicible, but she will face a tough task to overcome CC's enormous fan base, so it would say it's a tie. Winner? aiiiks...i dont wanna predict..i might jinx it...
ps; im not a professional dancer, i reviewed based on what I saw in Ruums and viewed it again in 8tv.com.my... pls excuse my amateurish review
