Episode 6: Ashley and Chris, Iveta and Nick

Ashley and Chris
Hip hop, Christopher Scott, "Forget You" by Celo Green

This was a fun routine but it was placed in the wrong line up on this episode.  After the emotional gorgeousness of "Turned to Stone", this was a jarring note.  However, it was very good and Ashley, a ballerina, tore it up!  That's my belief: the ballet dancers are always ah-mazing because of the intense training they undergo, so it doesn't matter what style is thrown at them.  Their bodies are fine-tuned machines that are trained to move any way they have to.  Anyhow, I thought Ashley was better than Chris.  He looked a little uncomfortable in choreography and Nigel called him on it during the commentary.
Here's the video with no sound.  You'll have to sing to yourself since there's some copyright nonsense.  So make it dirty and sing the "Fuck You" version instead. The actual routine starts at about 1:44.
I see you pulled the sound from my video and I'm like
FUCK YOU
It seems my disclaimer wasn't enough and I'm like
FUCK YOU
Ah, Fox.com has posted it. Here we go:

Iveta and Nick
Quickstep, Gilkison, "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet
This was pretty much an exhbition piece for Iveta.  Not only is she dacing in her style, but she is the WORLD CHAMPION in quickstep.  It was fun to see, but kind of bullshit honestly.  More on that later when I get to the "elimination" show (on which no one was eliminated.)
It was fun, Nick the tapper has fast feet so he kept up beautifully, and it was probably one of the only times quickstep has been done well on this show.  That might have been why they did it as well; to show that quickstep isn't a total drag when it's done right!  The music and costumes were just right and I think it was a good way to end the program.
