Who Will Be Mzansi's Favourite Dancer?

The second season of So You Think You Can Dance SA reached the Finale countdown in last night's results show (13 October).

Six dancers remained at the start of it and by the end of the half-hour 23-year-old Boipelo Maphafo and 20-year-old Ashley Beyers were eliminated by the judges, after a signature gush (versus his usual chin-ring rant) by head judge Harold van Buuren.

No matter how much you want to smack him, there's no denying that Harold knows how to take his time to build the sense of occasion and drama - which was important, considering all the moments where things seemed very rushed and unfocused. Was is just us or did you also feel that there was an overall atmosphere of: "Let's get this over with as quickly as possible"?

The show started with feedback to the remaining six contestants, host Sade Giliberti announced that Boipelo and Ash; and Shelley Christians and Darren Hammond had been voted into the bottom two couples, leaving Lulu Mlangeni and Carl Davids safe.

Each of the danger zones had to dance for their lives, the judges deliberated; and Boipelo and Ash were eliminated - when it should have been Boipelo and Darren. Not only because of Ash's tattoos but also, as Harold said, Ash has been a strong live audience favourite, which is what the competition is all about.

This Saturday (16 October) each of the four go head-to-head, dancing for themselves only, in both in couples and solo. Votes will be for each of the four individually. The show starts half an hour early - at 18h00 and runs an hour-and-a-half.

In contrast to previous weeks where voting started at the end of the show, voting lines will open at the start and stay open for an hour. The dancers will perform for votes and one will win the title of Mzansi's Favourite Dancer  - and R250 000 - in the last half hour.

Routines in the show include a pantsula choreographed by Lefty Mbenenge, a contemporary piece by Kelsey Middleton, a hip-hop number by Craig Johnson, and a rumba by Rafick Hoosain.

Starting next week, at 18h30: Relentless. A new local reality show in which people have to spontaneously accomplish difficult tasks to win cash. The set-up is that people are randomly approached while they're out and about, shopping, at sports stadiums etc.

They're asked if they want to win something and then given a spur of the moment, relentless challenge which they need to do successfully to win. No news yet on who'll be presenting, we'll keep you posted when we hear more.

Those judges were not fair arg..Ash can really dance yoh.That dude just made love the show more and more...I mean he knew his stuff very well..but anywhere I think Lulu is going to clinch that title of Mzansi's favourite dancer and smile all the way to the bank with a whooping R250 000.00. All the best to all of them

I have been voting for Ash – he has the character, the flexibility and he’s just so lovable. Now that he’s gone I don’t know. Maybe Shirley only coz she’s Capetonian.

As for Lulu there’s just something about her that says she doesn’t deserve to win. I can’t forget that first week when she left her partner on stage. That was just bad.

I liked KB,was happy to see him on Idols. I think some judge want Carl to win! For me the winner is between Carl & Lulu...

I missed the show ,tell me guys what Ash said to the judges?

14 Oct 2010 13:45

i say GO LULU GO LULU take that price but am say cause Ash is gone he was one of my favourate...

@titidi last saturday show the judges told Ash that he has been lucky in the competition by mostly getting to dance kwaito and they felt that he hasnt grown but he took the mic from sade and told them that he is not a kwaito dancer by a b-boy dancer so from his point of view he has grown. If you are talking about yesterday show he didnt say a thing just thanked them. Hope this answers your question..

Lulu, a very determined and aggressive dancer, maybe just needs to soften up a bit, but sure can move it; Darren, a perfectionist and always brings the best out of his partner, also makes it look easy, just needs to loosen up a bit on his moves in other genres; Carl, is better than he shows himself ,he's smooth, he needs to gain confidence and presence as a performer; Shelley, works hard and has shown great versatility, she has grown. 

And the winner is.....i think the public really like Lulu, but Darren's fanbase is unpredictible i think (they might just pul through for him).

I think Carl is still in the competition because he is lulu's partner he doesnt seem  confident there is something lacking. I dont have a problem with Darren

Its Lulu who is going to win that 250 000.00, I was so sad last nite cos I thought Ash and Boipelo were going to the finals but it was really unfair for Ash he dance like nobodies business, Ash u rock Tshana

Hosh
14 Oct 2010 15:04

Darren did not deserve to win last nite full stop, its only that the judges were trying to prove something, Im sure most ppl will agree with me, I luv Ash he Rocks!

Ash has a great personality , and perfect in street dance , kwaito but vey limited in other dances, we want someone who is versatile that's all this competition is about.

Yours Truly,

Lulu is going to win the competition And so Darren I don't think he deserve to be on the top 4 but what can we say Ash was much better than him it's a pity he( Ash) was a hip hop dancer....

My vote goes to LULU no question, she is so sensual when she moves......

carino

I think the disadvantage that has befallen Ash and Boipelo is that they were both a bit weak. If Ash had Danced with Lulu he’d still be in the competition – which is exactly what’s happened with Carl. His God is with him ngempela.

Shem poor Ash. But he came this far – representing them street dancers. Thanks to him B-boys will get some recognition . Shem he’s just such a character – Him making it to the final could’ve been a nice twist to this completion – proving certain points.

Im not for Lulu shem – she just has an air around her that I don’t like. I think if I had a mthakathi auntie I’d ask her to sprinkle a few powders – that’s how strongly I feel about this Lulu girl.

LOL carino..@ the dislike for Lulu, Lolest. Since the audition days when she abused that poor coloured boy ka di semifinals...i just did not like her..okare o nale pelo e mpenyana. I could never stand her dance routines even though she got a lot of praise.

congrats Lulu. This SYTCD was really boring this year and the dances were not creative enough. But inspite of all that it was something better to watch.

MAGNET2DISASTER
18 Oct 2010 07:58

lulu won and she deserved it,hair has nothing to do with dancing so maybe if she had a crooked leg or something thats when we`d agree that it might have been some kind of advantage,so get over yourselfs and shave your heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!darren was so sure that his name was going to be called out,dah!

Harold favorite dancer was Carl, u can pick out from out he was saying when he was commenting after each dance. By looking at his face he seems disappointed when Carl was announce as number three.

Congra Lulu, u deserve it gal. I wonder what is Lulu's full name?

u4me
18 Oct 2010 08:48

I dnt wanna rub it in, but i said it. I can see a winner miles away. Though the finale show was dull, i was happy for the LULU, bold or hairy i dont care, she whipped some butts, congratulations gal

Green.arrow
18 Oct 2010 08:54

Oh well....*shrugging shoulders*.....

The final show lacked something....true...infact the whole show missed sumthing, Something about the production maybe?. Id never fault the dancers bcos they were/are all talented imo...

18 Oct 2010 09:44

I was all for Ash, dat guy can move i tell u...very good. But hey, congrats to LULU, i think she was an obvious case after Ash and Boipelo were eliminated.

THANKS SOBZA (in Harold's voice).

I've been watching the show on Sat's and sometimes i would think that i can dance better than some of the dancers LOL but true wethu. I can shake my ass sometimes and you won't believe it lol.

I think i was expecting too much but ke they tried shame. Badanisa abantwana ba-last year and im still looking for a chick who was voted off (i think she was Lebo's dancer).  I just forgot her name but that girl was superfab.

I don't know whether to blame the cheographers (don't mind my spelling) or dancers but i was not convinced. I can actually mention few dancers that blown me away but i wont do that coz uNomlulwana uyithathile i trophy.

Well done to Lulu. Maar girl u r not emotional nhe! Or u already knew that u r a winner! I thought u would shed one tear but nah. U strongo (in David's voice).

Eish talking about David, he was looking yummy on that day...i dont know whether bcoz i was drained but i find him "attractive". I even thought of him dancing kwaito for me and nami ndimshayela ezam...phela i can dance lol.

Lastly i love Ash in skinny jeans esp when he was doing those kwaito moves.
