So You Think You Can Dance (performance show #7)

I just got finished watching last night performance show. Are You kidding me?

Can I just say...I LOVE Ade. He is so good. Melissa is fine but Ade is amazing. I love the way he just throws her around. He is so strong. I also love how they look together. His dark, dark, skin and her very pasty white skin. They look beautiful together.

This dance was so timely. It was gorgeous. When I saw her headscarf...I lost it.
I loved the part where he picked her up by her wrists and threw her back on her feet. How poetic. The entire dance was spectacular. I watched it over and over...of course through tears.
It was so good.

For those of you who are not familiar with the song they danced to, it is from a beautiful artist named Maxwell...yes BEAUTIFUL...Here are the lyrics...

Pray God you can cope

I stand outside

This woman's work

This woman's world

Oh it's hard on the man

Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father

*
I know you've got a little life in you left
I know you've got a lotta strength left
I know you've got a little life in you left
I know you've got a lotta strength left

*
I should be cryin' but I just can't let it show
I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin'
All the things we should've said that are never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things we should've given, but I didn't
Oh darlin', make it go
Make it go away
*
Give me these moments
Give them back to me
Give me your little kiss
Give me your...
Give me your hand baby
Give me your pretty hand

*
For...
Your love child
Whatever you need
Give me your hand
Give me your love

*
I should be cryin' but I just can't let it show baby
I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin
All the things we should've said that we never said
All the things we should've done that we never do
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that you needed from me
All the things we should've given, but I didn't
Oh darlin', make it go away now.
Just make it go away.

It is such a beautiful song. I LOVE Maxwell.

I also loved the Battlefield dance by Jeanine and Brandon. It was super amazing.
And I loved the Zombie Dance. The end was cool how he picked her up by her neck...AWESOME!! I also loved how she smeared the makeup down her face. How do people come up with these things...incredible.

I am excited for tonights show. I can't wait to see all the past dances.

Those were my 3 favorite, in that order as well. I cried and cried as I watched Melissa and Ade dance over and over again with my DVR. I also was in shock and awe during Jeanine and Brandon's dance since it's so symbolic of some things in my own life. Hard not to relate if you're married, love really is a battlefield of give vs. take and with it comes a lot of emotions. Wow, what an awesome night (once it got going as Nigel said!) I love reading your blog and wish I could blog as well as you about this stuff!
