to bboy rice, thanks and then, why black got into bottom i think it's because 1) Sly was full of praises by the judges for both of his dances.. He's immune from bottom 4 automatically if u would put it that way. Even some may think that he's not really the best of the males but in the end, the way the judges commented on their performance immediately shows who's gonna be in bottom. A slight negative comment will drag u all the way to bottom 2) As I said in my previous post, Hong & CC was untouchable. Hong was awesome, he didn't really got overshadowed by CC at all(most ppl expected otherwise) and I'm really impressed with the way he handled himself on stage against a taller partner, BRAVO Hong! So, basically he's untouchable.. I'd be shocked if he got into bottom 4 last night.. 3) Black performed a bad hip hop routine in the second dance. The mask was a total flop. In these kind of competition, u cant afford to lose ur face expression even if u're as good as Blake McGrath. Well, that being said, it's totally a different issue if u compare to how Jabbawockeez famed with their mask for America Best Dance Crew(note* they won the competition) because it's totally a diffrent type of judging. It is being judge on how synchronized, creative and wicked you are. Unlike SYTYCD here, judges here look into ur passion, expression, drive, technique and usage of stage. I must add, im not sure who suggested black & sim to wear that attire to dance last night but it's really wrong to copy Jabbawockeez. Even the colour scheme was exactly the same. I'm very very dissapointed. It makes the whole competition really really cheap.

Well, as expected that Ray and Farah out based on the performance on Thursday nite. The top 4 for me now will be: Sly, CC, Black and Sim.
Based on Thursday nite performance, I think it was really clear that Black did not meet my expectation on him and also what Judimar said was right, he is starting to show tiredness and no energy if compared to previous weeks.
Hong is really a gd dancer, but I guess he is a bit "moody", sometimes he is doing well, sometimes he just lost concentration. But I bet he will be the black horse to watch. Which mean to detrone Black from favourite.
Sly, nothing to say. He is gd and he is now the lone guy that never in btm 6 or 4.
Ray, I must say, it is nothing to be shocked when he was kicked off on Thursday. Why? Well, to me, he can dance. But he is doing the dance technically and the feeling and emotion are not there. Whatever dance he is doing, there is the pendekar shadow following. He can't really jump off the frame of doing Malay Comtemp. 3 words: Not Versatile Enuf. A bit kayu when he is doing Hip Hop or Ballroom. To me, he should be out 2 weeks ago, but becoz the fans base are big enuf to pull him through. Sorry, ppl out there, this is my own opinion.
CC, she is gd. Improve a lot frm a ballroom dance girl. Love it. But I think sometimes she is a bit corky when she is not smiling. CC can give Sim a challenge.
Jojo, this girl can dance. She is having an outstanding improving curve. Like her, she is cute when she is doing those notti movement.
Sim, OMG, she is really outstanding and I think she is the best so far. Like what Ramli said, she is a bit like Anita Mui which is really versatile. Carrying all the roles well. Well done Sim!!
Farah, sorry to say, she has reached her limit. That was what I think after seeing the Thursday performance. Although she is improving a lot, but, guess that is her limit. Same like Ray, not versatile enuf if compared to the above 3 girls.
Anyway, Well done to all of them. To the top 6, just do your best, enjoy and don't think of anything while you r doing your dance, just open your heart and mind and treat it as the stage is yours.
GDLUCK!!!

Well, when things do get out of the head to being fair and diplomatic about judges' or organiser's preferences, I must say the last episod was at least more humane!!!
I love the new guest judge MARION D" CRUZ!! With expertise and experience she speak her mind as an old girl on this field! The 'WOW FACTOR' everyone!!! This is a true preformer and competitor's desire! Next come other additional of technique, style interpretation , musicality, the dynamic value on the right sport of a piece of work, polished movement and etc ( Not forgetting our beloved Tiara too!). Be yourself and real on what you see- love you Marion. Miss her work too! What up next old girl??
Still think the panal needs a latin ballroom Judge, we will see the different demand and what is not seen by present panel in comments.
The current top 6 deserved the call back. They really work for it! Will comment on it later.

Hi folks, no hidden agenda or buying what or who I like.
The best couple overall, for this episod is Hong and CC. You can see the desire and passion to prove to everyone, they wont give up to any good or bad comment upon them in the last episod or before to the end. Great personality to have as a competitor! Keep it up!!!!! No further comment, try to survive on your abilities and prove what you can do, man.
Second was Sly and JoJo. Sly and JoJo really impress me on every new episod. I thought they were never the one to stay for the next and next but they earned it! Both alway give us a surprise, Jack and Jill of all trade to date.Not sure next week but prove it,PLEASE!!! We really want to see both your very best till the end.
Next will be Black and Sim. From the begining of this partnership, I do not see the connection in soul and moves.They are real great dancers individually especially the girl. Maybe, due to their professional trainning,i.e. to finished a show with what ever routine you are given, make them like you and smile cheekily ,kills them. The show went too far.The girl over shadow him a lot. This episod prove to us,Black need to push harder. I was shock to see his dance for survival- no personality, theme,musicality and etc, it was like -a didnt know how ,prancing and bouncing out of rhythm and control on stage. If it was not bottom 4 for him I think we never see or know!!!No offence to you Black just writing what I saw. Try to understand rather than to impress in your work you ll find your strenght. You can do it.I'd love to see you in top 4.
Lastly Ray and Farah. Ray was almost perfect in attitude and built on stage but did not last in strenght,dynamic value and understanding to make him go further!!! Their luck ran out due to too much contempt in their last few episod didnt help to bring out the 'Zess' and the props were too much for them. Farah has a great face for stage but need polishing and refining in controlling work for execution and finishing. Not as lucky too , didnt get any chance to work with many different type of choreographies and chreographers.
All the best folks! Journeys never ends poeple,what you do is always another gain, never any losses.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace!

the dance that i love the most for the last episode was the paso doble by Sly and Jojo, it was full with fire...Hot hot hot, nearly got burn by their passion, i've been paying most attention to Jojo, she is always improving, and improving, and improving. She always suprises me week to week, and i'm always anticipating to see her perform. i think she can be the winner for this season.
so, Jojo, give your best shot, you got lots of fans supporting you.
