I love the faces at the end.  Well a couple.  Lexine looks genuine, and Madison is straight up CHOLA.  We introduce the judges, and Abby says it will be a tough week.  Madison repeats that she’s nervous Asia will fall to pieces on stage.  They’re up first.

Lexine, Asia, and Madison are doing a cabaret trio.  Right off the bat, Madison looks in control, Asia looks confused, and Lexine looks like a drag queen.

“Is my tuck showing?”

As the girls drop from standing on the stool to sitting on it, Asia doesn’t fall, so at least they have that.  Asia looked a little lost out there, but over all, I think it was decent.

Yikes.

Abby commended Asia on her level of difficulty, and says that Madison held everyone together.  Richy said basically nothing.  And Robin talks about cranking a leg lift.  Abby loves that Lexine looks so mature when she dances.  I grudgingly agree.

Backstage, Yvette is reminding Hadley to have fun and project.

Clearly having fun.

Kelly has a good attitude about working with Yvette and is fine as long as the girls blow the judges away.  Which brings up to Jordyn and Hadley’s Vaudeville duet.  Right away, I feel like they’re selling the silliness and fun of the number, and I caught myself smiling at it.

I just don’t like the bikini tops.

Hadley’s turns and faces were spot on.  And Jordyn really knows how to put the right attitude into her performance.  They were a little out of sync on some moves, but I can forgive them for a strong performance.

As if the applause sign out of camera shot weren’t enough.

All the judges are smiling this time, as opposed to Abby not cracking her face like with the last group.  Abby digs at Hadley a little for missing her side aerial, but Hadley knows exactly what she did wrong.  Richy thinks no one was holding back.  Robin took some time out of hooking on the corner to offer some more praise.  These girls have to be safe

HA, Zack’s mom Gina tells him that he can be a pimp and rock it or get nervous like in rehearsal and tank. 

That hair and nose ring are about 20 years too young for you, boo.

So let’s see how Zack, Brianna, and Elisabeth do with their hip hop subway hobo number.  They take off and I’m already impressed with Brianna’s. . . I’m not using the S word. . . attitude in her movement.  Even Elisabeth is giving it to us.  Zack.  I don’t know why they put him in a construction worker neon vest.  They could have given him better.

    Good recap. They are keeping around Asia just for her mother drama with Yvette at this point. Got to milk that cow as much as possible.

    Amanda actually stood out to me early on. She is quiet and not showy but I saw amazing technique there and it showed in her solo. I am glad she finally showed what she can do and impressed the judges.

    I still think this is Brianna’s competition to lose. I was surprised they were so hard on Madison. She is still one of the best dancers there. She had an off night that was all. I also love that she did not do the stupid go get in the judge’s faces thing on her 8 count, instead she did some mad dancing and skill and that is what it is all about dammit!

    Zack is great, but the judges are right. You need to be a well rounded dancer and study all types of dance and rock them all. Hip hop is huge now and he needs to be better at it. Hopefully he will study up on that. It was cute when they said Madison had a little crush on him. Barking up the wrong tree honey. His mom pretty much said he was gay without just straight up saying it.

    The standouts of the night were Jordyn and Hadley. They rocked it. Lexine is consistent but she is a smaller girl and personality and gets lost. Same with Amanda. Elizabeth is good but Brianna and Madison and Amanda have much better technique from what I have seen.

    ” Robin took some time out of hooking on the corner to offer some more praise.” — that made me laugh so hard, and this was one of the funniest recaps i’ve read in the past month or so.

    i HATE asia’s slutty faces. she’s SIX. and i’m usually one who defends acting and inppropriate costumes and stuff other people think is inapprorpiate, but asia’s dancing combined with those faces she makes … honestly, all i can think is porn star. and she’s six. it needs to be STOPPED. if i were her mother i”d be concerned about predators!!!

    Great recap!! I’ll miss Zack! He is adorable, and a great dancer, but I agree that it was justified that he go (although there is no way that Asia should still be there, and Zack not..). I think they are keeping Asia around for the crazy mama factor as April mentioned. I was surprised to see Madison in the bottom 3 because I think she is amazing. How can Asia, Lexine, and Hadley be safe and Madison NOT? I also agree with April that the 3 best are Brianna, Amanda and Madison.

    That pussydoll lady has got to go!! I can’t even stand to look at her. Seriously! I would never want my daughter to be a “dancer” like those of the pussycat dolls. She doesn’t seem to know what in the hell she’s even talking about and I can’t help but wonder how they couldn’t scrounge up ANYONE besides her to be a judge..

    Absolutely HILARIOUS recap, especially the shots you used of Yvette. Yikes, what a mega-stage mama she is. I was sorry to see Zack go, but I feel Asia should have gone before him. Of course, then we’d have no mama drama with Yvette and Kristie. I wonder when the physical catfight will be featured? I think those two are jostling to get their own reality TV series. Yvette looks really old and those age spots indicate she has spent too many hours in the tanning salon. Robin of the Pussycat Dolls is tiresome and a broken record–always reminding us every episode that she was the founder of that group. Yeah, we know, and if that’s your own claim to fame, no wonder you’re a judge on all these reality TV shows. Asia is very, very talented for her age and quite precocious. But the faces and choreography she does is way too sexual and seductive for one so young. I can’t help feel like her mother and Abby are pimping this little girl out. She acts mature for age, but that’s no reason to have her dance like a stripper.
    Jordyn and Hadley’s dance made me smile–it was adorable and fun. But it appears the best dancers are Brianna, Amanda (who did lyrical) and Madison. Whiny Elizabeth needs to go–in that photo you featured, she looks like she’s 25 years old instead of 13. It seems Elizabeth’s and Asia’s mothers are too much in a hurry to have their girls grow up. No wonder so many child actors/performers are messed up.

    During this week with dance-off between Elisabeth, Zack, and Madison, I definitely would chosen Elisabeth to go instead of Zack. Maybe Zack didn’t really \get\ the hip-hop, but he really did seem to be working hard and improving in general and I thought there was hope that he could surprise us yet. Whereas Elisabeth seemed to me to exactly at the same level where she arrived instead of growing, and just didn’t seem like she had it in her to push for more and surprise us…

    I agree that it should have been Elizabeth. Abby said she is looking for dancers who can improve. Well that was what Zach did.

    My favourite has been Madison from the beginning. Brianna is also very good. I think one of these 2 should win.
    I am not a fan of Hadley. She is just middle of the road and seems quite catty. Just like her mum.
