I am shocked. Will's Samba this week completely blew me away, as did his slow Hip Hop. As did his solo. He hasn't done a thing this season that hasn't been excellent.

I thought this was Courtney and Gev's best week so far. I'm kind of glad they were in the bottom three, because otherwise we would not have been able to see that wicked Hip Hop routine!

The first time I heard Fleet Foxes, I thought I liked them because I listened to the album on vinyl. But when I heard them live, I realized that their warmth and honestly came from the bandmembers themselves.

As Angelina Jolie bravely brings twins into this world, she has my good wishes and encouragement, since raising twins, as any parent of multiples knows, is something completely different from raising siblings one at a time.

It may be easier to fly to Milan, London, or Tokyo and strut along a catwalk than it is to sit on your own, with your family many miles away, and ponder whether what you are doing to earn a living is making you happy.

Was it just me or did Nigel seem to be much nicer this week? I think he must have got a lot of criticism. Maybe he's more sensitive than his American Idol counterpart.

I'm still in shock that Marquis has been eliminated. He was one of the best dancers on the show and as much as I like Chris's personality, I'm dumbfounded that the judges kept him.

It's too bad that there can't be a dance show that celebrates the diversity of dance rather than requiring everyone to do well in a range of styles, which tends to produce conformity rather than originality and creativity.

Jason Castro didn't know "Memory" was sung on stage by a cat. I guess the fact that it was from the musical Cats wasn't enough of a clue for him. What a complete moron.
