As for your picks, some I agree with, and some I disagree with.
Gravity was, and still is, one of my favorite routines (Teem think they ought to run PSAs re: drug addiction using that video). I still want to know what happened to make Kuponu want to bow out and throw his solo, because I'd have loved to see what he did later in the season.
Ialso love, love, love Hummingbird + Flower! Hip Hip Chin Chin is another favorite. I've never seen the Pasha and Lacey hip hop number before -- both Teem and I love that! And you're right -- today's hip hop routines aren't nearly that clever or sharp. Sweet Dreams was fun and Tranji -- how have I never seen that before? I think I loved 2 boys doing what I call "stripper butt shake" the best!
Ramalama Bang Bang, on the other hand ... it's not my cup of tea so much that I can't really appreciate it.
Thinking on past seasons and routines that I've loved, I'm wondering what the difference is in choreographers? Who were the early season choreographers, compared to the usual team for this season? How many choreographers would they have working on a single episode? Is part of what's going on simple fatigue -- of the choreographers? I know that that's definitely happening with Tyce's Broadway numbers.
With regard to the talent, I think that, this season, there are a few dancers who are at least as good as the best dancers of past seasons; I'm not sure that I'd say better, though.
Personally, I'd love to see the SYCYCD equivalent of Top Chef All-Stars -- but with the dancers chosen by the choreographers from all past seasons, not the judges or the public. I want Melissa competing against Jakob and Billy and Will; I want Ashleigh dancing with Ricky. And I want Nick dancing with ... well, pretty much anyone. ;)
