SYD Results Finale

Scroll to the bottom for the end result.

There was a group dance with the top 20, followed by a montage, which was followed up by another montage.

The seven judges get to pick their favorite routines from the season. Adam Shankman picks Nap and Tab’s hip-hop with Jeanine and Phillip to “Mad” by Ne-Yo. Nigel picks an Argentine tango with Janette and Brandon, which they dance to a “Forever Tango” soundtrack song. Debbie Allen chose a waltz danced by Asuka and Vitolio, who I hated. It was danced to an Enya song, making it even worse.

Come on, Debbie Allen. Your dance academy gave us Travis (season 2) and Danny (season 3), and this is what you give us?

Mary chooses Travis’s contemporary choreography for Jeanine and Jason. Mia picks a samba with Max and Kayla. There was a montage showing Kherrington (season 4)’s new version of “Fame.” Debbie Allen chose a group routine that the top 16 did. Lil’ C chooses “Jai Ho” Bollywood with Caitlin and Jason.

Cat tells the fourth person she’s cut: Kayla.

Kayla is better composed than any other SYD finalist I’ve seen. They give her a giant bouquet of flowers, but I think she deserved better than that, and better than fourth.

Adam gets to pick another dance, and he picks Evan and Randi’s butt dance by Mia. Mary chooses the paso doble with Jeanine and Brandon, which is a great choice.

Evan gets called out to join them, to learn that he’s in third place. My only regret there is that he got more votes than Kayla.

It’s between Brandon and Jeanine.

Nigel picks as one of his favorite moments “when Mary admitted to using Botox.” Mary scolds him. Nigel then picks Mia’s addiction routine with Kayla and Kupono. Finally, we see the addiction routine we all knew was coming.

Some boys dance. They range in age from like 4 to like 14, making them perfect for the twelve-year-old girls who watch this show.

Tyce chooses Brandon and Janette doing Doriana’s disco routine. Mia picks Tyce’s cancer.

The judges all participate in the top 8 dancers’ routine, and it’s so cute I have to laugh. Strutting their stuff and sticking out their shoulders – aww, Nigel, Mia, Mary, Tyce, Debbie Allen and Adam Shankman. (No Lil’ C, because as P.C. says “he doesn’t deserve to be there”).

And America’s favorite is Jeanine.

To recap, in order from fourth to first:

4 -- Kayla

3 -- Evan

2 -- Brandon

1 -- Jeanine


Huzzah, huzzah! America wins.
