So You Think You Can Dance Finale

Final 4 Season 3

On to lighter things. Last night was the “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 3 Finale and man did I end up with a smile on my face.

First of all, if you have been watching this show on FOX you’ll know the finalists were Lacey, Danny, Neil and Sabra.

Lacey is a great dancer, I mean, fantastic. She’s also last years winner, Benji Schwimmer’s, sister. The problem? Let’s just say no matter what she wears or what she dances, she throws off this sleazeville vibes that really turn the women voters (you know, the ones that actually watch the show) off. This theory was confirmed when she didn’t win last night. Whoo!

Danny is another great dancer. He’s long and lean and dances with great technique. He’s also a brother of a finalist last year, Travis Wall. The problem? For most of the season he seemed arrogant, like he didn’t want, need or enjoy the competition. He came off as a big silent jerk. “So You Think You Can Dance” is a show about America’s favorite dancer and that means you have a nice, cool personality. Luckily he turned his real self on a few weeks before the finale and while it got him further, but couldn’t win it for him in the end.

Neil. What can I say about Neil? He’s got the contemporary technique to make it smooth, the gymnastics to make it entertaining, the looks to make you swoon and a personality that has you rolling with laugher. I sort of thought it was an act at the beginning of the season but his personality kept coming out strong and he really grew on me. Once he did the “Hero/villain” dance where he got to act, I fell in love. The problem? Well nothing really, it’s just he’s a boy and boys have one every season so far. :( Unfortunately Neil didn’t win either. Awe.

So who won the quarter of a million dollars and the title of America’s favorite dancer on “So You Think You Can Dance”?Sabra Johnson SABRA Johnson.

Here we have this tiny and beautiful 20 year old girl from a military family back ground that has only been dancing for 4 years of her life. She is up against these people who have been dancing their entire lives. Sabra was quiet in the beginning but every time you saw her you really felt like she wanted to have her personality burst out. The problem? She was partners with Dominic who was such a bold personality it hindered hers…he also dropped her a LOT.

When people got the opportunity to switch partners is when Sabra really started to shine. She was more energetic, she shined more, she danced better and she blew us away with her personality. I might have voted for her 20 times.

Congrats Sabra! You really deserve this “So You Think You Can Dance” win!
