'Live to Dance': The Finals at Last with Kendall Glover Completing the Pack, Dance Town Chaos is Perfection
Best Episode of This Show with Dance Town Chaos, D'Angelo and Amanda and Twitch as Judge's Favorites
Twitch - They were one of my favorite dance acts during the premiere audition episode, but have failed to wow me since then. I enjoyed their music choice of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" complete with their story of the red carpet, camera flashes and all the adoring fans. Paula Abdul told Anthony, the only male dancer, he needs to change up his turns. They have been the same since the audition. They have been and still are a judges favorite.
White Tree Fine Art - Every time I've seen them perform on the show they've brought something special. This was no exception. They used the song from their wedding "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" sung by Katherine McPhee. Their contemporary ballet routine flowed effortlessly from one move to the next. It was absolutely stunning to watch, especially the incredible pose they held for at least 8 counts at the end. White Tree Fine Art is my sentimental favorite. It was great hearing Travis tell this couple he now loves them.
The Vibe - By far my least favorite dance act of the night and the only one to receive a red star from Travis. The routine was too difficult to watch with so many people on stage. There was way too much activity going on for their two-minute routine. It would have been challenging for them to bring a few onstage and then the rest in that short time frame. I agreed with Paula's comment to them on less is more.
Kendall Glover - The only soloist out of duo and group acts. I liked her costume and song choice for her contemporary dance. Kendall is extremely athletic and her speed going from one move to the next was brilliant for someone her age. Travis said she is a bright shining star and I agree.
Dance Town Chaos - Talk about bringing down the house with their stunning array of tribal themed-costumes (what little they wore), body paint, giant drums and incredible stage moves. Even though there are only 12 men they were able to move more effectively with having solos and half of the dancers on stage at a time within the two minutes. It was the most entertaining dance act of the night. When it was over all three judges were on their feet giving them a standing ovation, which was deserved. Travis said they are ready to have their own stage show.
D'Angelo and Amanda - Three of the dance acts are from Miami these tweens make it a threesome. Their performance of the tango should be showcased on a future results show of "Dancing with the Stars." They were spot-on all the way. No doubt they have a future as professional ballroom dancers. They also got a standing ovation from the judges.
Next week is the Grand Finale where the winner will be announced five minutes before the end of the show. In the meantime there will be dance performances from other professional acts. If I were to predict who will win, based strictly on viewers votes only, it would be Dance Town Chaos. I'd like to see them win the $500,000 prize.
