So You Think You Can Dance Season 4, Top 20 Finalists!

After enduring some awful auditions for So You Think You Can Dance Season 4, Las Vegas week has finally arrived! There were some shockers as the heavily featured dancers did not make the cut! But before I spill the beans, let's recap some of the Las Vegas highlights.

Right off the bat, Robert Muraine, the insane popper from the first episode of So You Think You Can Dance bowed out. He couldn't even get through hip hop. It's hard to say whether or not it was a good decision... he certainly wasn't versatile enough, but just stay in for the face time, ya know?

Another to go bye bye quick was Claire Callaway. I'll say it before and I'll say it again. Girl should have waited another year to go back to SYTYCD auditions. It was just too soon and she didn't stand a chance in hell. She was over rated in her season anyway, now that I look back on old So You Think You Can Dance episodes.

So those were the pretenders. Others who deserved to make the top 20 that didn't make it are:

Kelli Baker! What a shocker. She's the girl whose mother is the High School Musical choreographer. Despite this, I believe she could have gotten in on her own merit. But, a hella lot of tough competition for the girls.

Sheila Kaiser also didn't make the cut. She's the student/dancer. You wonder how good she can be if she wasn't majoring in genius.

For the guys, I was surprised to see Evan Kasprzak go. I thought his Gene Kelly bit was great.

But the biggest shocker of all was Brandon Bryant not making the So You Think You Can Dance Season 4 top 20. Wow! But seeing as he's only 18, maybe they are saving him for another year? I mentioned that if he'd have any personality, he'd be the winner. Maybe he needed to be more camera ready.

Nigel Lythgoe always says that So You Think You Can Dance is about finding America's most favorite dancer not, most talented dancer. If that's the case, I hope the cast has plenty of charisma as I am not in agreement with a lot of the choices.

Those who already got face time and were featured who made it include:

Courtney Galiano, Chelsea Hightower, Susie Garcia, Kourtney Lind, Joshua Allen, Twitch, Kherington Payne, Katee Shean, Gev Manoukian, Matt Dorame, William Wingfield, Thayne Jesperson.

I couldn't quite the last names of these unfeatured dancers but they include:

Chelsea, Rayven, Jamie, Chris, Jessica King, Mark, Marquis Cunningham, Comfort.

Since they cut my favorites, I really don't know what to expect from this cast. There are still some extremely strong girls but it remains to be seen whether or not their personality can shine through along with their dancing.

I'm surprised that there is no red hot ballroom male dancer though. In fact, there used to be a few latin/ballroom dancers. Where'd they all go? I wonder if it's more of a departure this time around with the emphasis on solos.

We shall see what this year of So You Think You Can Dance Season 4 brings. Stay tuned on Fox and here to find out!
