I think this is a popularity contest more than it is a dance talent contest. Will was by far the better of the male dancers and should have stayed. As for this week, I think Twitch was on the low end. Joshua has never had any formal dance training so to find him in the finale...And Chelsea is by far the most talented of the remaining ladies this week, with Katee coming a close second. During the season the judges repeatedly told Courtney she was not among the strongest dancers on the show. I am shocked and dismayed that Chelsie was booted.

Sorry to disagree but IMO....Courtney has been the fighter of the girls all along. She has stepped up big time and deserves to be in the finale. She had the best solo this week by far and I think Katee is the best female dancer this season.

Will was definitely the best technical dancer but Joshua is the best overall performer/dancer. Personality plays into it big time. Look at Benji.....he was all personality. I won't be disappointed no matter who wins this week. This year was by far the best top 10 ever. LOVED IT!!!!!

IMO - Courtney has had a lot of negatives from the judges because she is a true competition dancer. My daughter has done competition dance for 12 years. And it is evident, by the style she dances and even the music she chooses for her solos. my dd keeps saying "competition girl"

But she has fought back. I do think she is a much better technical dancer than Katee. What Katee has going for her is her theatrics. She is talented in acting and shows that personality. But remember Katee is the girl the judges almost didn't take -- it was down between her and her friend, and when Katee was negative they were going to take the friend.

Will being cut last week was the biggest loss to the show. Hands down - he should have won.

I usually do not like the ones with no technical training - they tend to be the hip-hoppers who are good at their own style, but struggle with everything else, and in the past have been voted to continue because of people who like that sytle. But Joshua is different, he has really stepped up and without the training before this show, he has proven himself capable of conquering every style. There are people who begin dance late in their (young) lives - Joshua is one of these. Also, I believe he has natural athletic and dance ability and he must apply and listen to everything these judges, teachers and choreographers are telling him.

This last week, I really thought Mark was better than Twitch. Twitch doesn't have much training in dance either - I think. And Mark did a much better job than Twitch with his 2 dances.

Also, to address the comment about Benji - Benji had immense talent - it wasn't all personality. His training was only in one style of dance - West Coast Swing - which most of us had probably never heard of before that. But Benji proved he could do every style. He had personality-plus, but he also had great dance style and ability

:) - just my opinion

So what did you all think of the finale last night - or the final dance competition??

I was really disappointed by several of the dances. Although, a couple were fantastic

Joshua & Twitch were amazing together!!

It was so evident that the judges favorites are Twitch & Katee.

I couldn't believe when Katee and Courtney danced and Nigel said Katee extended more - My daughter about came unglued - because we would have said it was the exact opposite.

So I have a beef with the judges. But the thing I'm most bummed about - I tried for over an hr straight to get thru on 2 different phone lines to vote for Joshua - I tried nonstop :rolleyes: - and did not get thru even one time. :thumbdown:thumbdown

They do not have enough phone lines.

Ok, they are now a half hour into the results show - it's been good so far. Now, I'll just have to be quiet here when I see who won and wait for everyone out west to learn the results

OK - where is everyone!!?? :rolleyes:

I need someone to dance with me :D

Just saw the results - and without Will in the finale - this is the best outcome for this year :D - I am pleased with the results!!

yeah Joshua won! I mean, they were all great. I was pretty sure Courtney was not gonna win, and Katie is very very good, but she lacks a little bit of charisma. I knew it was between Twitch and Joshua. They were both good and look like very nice persons. I'm happy with the results. This season was awesome :)

I would have switched the girls around - but it was really about the guys this season! I enjoyed the top 5 guys number - Five Guys Named Moe - although it was pretty simple -- I can't imagine when the top 4 has had time to learn and practice the new numbers for tonight or to practice the judges favorite numbers again - phew

Great show tonight - actually I think it was the best finale show - I hate when they have tons of guest stars - I want to see the contestants.

But it was fun to see Mary dance ;) and Nigel too

I loved the show tonight :) I am so glad that Joshua won since Will wasn't there. I actually really liked Katee and am happy that she got "top girl."

I missed it! was this the final show?

oh Yay! I love Joshua!

I am so happy Joshua won, I really loved him!

Here's last night if you missed it SurfTheChannel - So You Think You Can Dance - Season 4 Episode 22

Tonight's isn't up there yet, but I bet it will be soon - check SurfTheChannel - Home later -- the show tonight was phenomenal -- the only ones who need work are the camera men

I totally agree tonight's show was phenomenal....I loved every minute of it and the best part was my boy Joshua won. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I have to say though little Courtney was my sweetheart and she made me cry last night and tongiht. She's adorable and she should have won top girl. Katee is good but Courtney fought harder to win. I can't wait until So You Think You Can Dance Canada starts in September.

I think Katee deserved to win. I've loved her all along. She is IMO the best of the dancers (final four). I am glad that Joshua won for the boys though. He has come a long way and is truly amazing. But Katee - she has spent her life dancing and it shows. She is a beautiful, talented, athletic dancer. I'm glad she at least won something. Great show this year.

I think the one judge summed it up well when she said it was not about who is the best dancer, but who has the most heart. I still think Will should have one, but Joshua was a good pick I must admit. I don't know where I was the first 3 seasons of this show. I have to say I have never loved a series more, and have never been more entertained than I have by this one. I can hardly wait for next season. My favorite part of the finale? The popper battle. That Robert is made of rubber, reminds me of Gumby! Totally amazing.
