Next week is Top 4 and it really looks like it will be 4 of the strongest dancers of the season. There was so much talent this season it was hard to see people leave week after week.

'So
You Think You Can Dance' Live Blog: The Top 7 Dance and
One is Eliminated

Think You Can Dance season 14 is down to just seven
contestants. I agree with Nigel Lythgoe -- we need a return
to a full top 20!
Last time
we said farewell to sassy popper Dassy Lee , who was on Team
Fik-Shun. This season's talent is phenomenal, and I hate
to see anyone go.
Get
ready, dance fans. This is the So You
Think You Can Dance live blog!
We start
off with a fun and retro Broadway group routine from the
competitors and All-Stars, choreographed by Warren
Carlyle.
Welcome
our Judges -- Vanessa Hudgens, Mary Murphy , and Nigel
Lythgoe . The dancers are working overtime as each will
perform three times. Starting tonight, viewer votes will
decide who moves on to the So You
Think You Can Dance finale. Next week is a double
elimination. Yikes!
Lex and All-Star GabyHip-Hop
choreographed by Luther Brown
Lex is
excited to tackle hip-hop and it shows in this old-school
routine. The duo garners a standing ovation from all three
judges. Mary loves Lex's isolations and energy. Nigel
tells Lex that he has made him proud.
Solo: Taylor
The
competitors are sharing a bit about their dancing pasts.
Taylor started dancing at the age of four and graced the
stage as a rubber ducky. Her solo is graceful and
emotional.
Logan and All-Star AllisonAfrican
Jazz- choreographed by Sean Cheesman
This
routine is about a secret tribe that only ventures out at
night. Allison and Logan bring the energy to this
animalistic routine. They also earn a standing ovation.
Nigel praises the performance, and says that Logan
"hits the ball out of the park every week," a nod
to Logan giving up baseball for dance. And all Vanessa can
say is "Wow" about 10 times. Mary puts them on the
hot tamale train.
How to Vote
You can super vote at FOX.com/Dance or on the FOX
Now App. Voting begins at the end of the show and is open
until 9 am Pacific time tomorrow. Get
voting!
Solo: Mark
Mark
reveals that he was a mischievous child, and his first dance
performance happened when he was in the sixth grade.
Mark's solo is fresh, fun, and overflowing with
energy.
Kaylee with All-Star CyrusContemporary
choreographed by Tyce Diorio
This
number is about a couple who loses everything. Kaylee shines
in this gut-wrenching piece. Vanessa compliments
Kaylee's performance and calls it
"stupendous." Mary praises how powerful and fierce
Kaylee is. Nigel calls it their best
performance.
Solo: Koine
Koine
fell in love with dance, and because she didn't yet
speak English, she would copy her friends during dance class
to learn the moves. Her solo is powerful and full of
charisma.
Kiki with All-Star JennaBroadway
choreographed by Warren Carlyle
This
routine features canes as props, and I love the simplicity
of the piece. Kudos to Kiki and Jenna for repeatedly
catching canes that are thrown to them off-stage. This
incredible piece gets a standing ovation, and deservedly so.
Cat and Jenna even take a victory lap around the stage. Mary
is amazed that they could catch the canes, coming from
different people and different directions. Nigel calls Kiki
a "brilliant all around dancer."
Solo: Logan
Logan's
stage debut was in a hip-hop dance at the age of seven. Most
of Logan's solo comprised of head spins, which I must
confess surprised me.
Koine with All-Star MarkoJive
choreographed by Dmitry Chaplin
Marko
portrays a nerd who dances with a popular girl. It is a fun
routine but it feels like there is a lack of connection
between this duo, but apparently it is just me as they
receive a standing ovation from the judges. Vanessa praises
Koine's versatility, and puts them on her hot tamale
train. Mary loves the side by side dancing. Koine is very
emotional and doesn't want this experience to
end.
Solo: Kaylee
Kaylee
started dancing at eight years of age. Her first performance
had her tapping in a yellow sundress with an umbrella.
Her solo shows plenty of personality, but isn't
very energetic.
Group Dance- The All-Stars
This
Brian Friedman routine is very stylized and is partially in
black and white. It is not really my cup of
tea.
Taylor with All-Star RobertContemporary
choreographed by Mandy Moore
This
number is sweet and romantic, and very sensual. Once again,
the judges are on their feet. Mary is emotional and tells
Taylor that she touched her soul. Nigel wants Taylor to find
even more emotion and bring it out, as her technique is
already incredible.
Solo: Lex
Lex was
an energetic child, and he began taking dance classes at the
age of seven. His first performance was a hip-hop routine
that he would rather forget. Lex's solo has wonderful
turns and spins.
Mark with All-Star
ComfortHip-Hop
choreographed by Misha Gabriel
Mark and
Comfort portray a master and student ninja during a practice
fight. I liked this hard-hitting hip-hop number, but it fell
a bit short of my expectations. Mary praises their
synchronization. Nigel tells the duo that they did a
"good" job.
Solo: Kiki
"Daddy
Kiki," as he is known on Twitter, first hit the stage
at the age of four. His solo is fast, furious, and
fun
So You
Think You Can Dance Season 14 airs Mondays at 8/7c on
FOX. Want more news? Join our
