Okay, here is the Top 12 performances spoiler for the Wed. July 8 SYTYCD show, transcribed from people who were at the live show yesterday (Tues. July 7). Each couple performed twice. Third judge was Tyce, and Cat was wearing a sleeveless navy blue dress and had her hair really short and permed-ish.

Notable people in the audience: Travis.

Here are the pairings and the dances - in the order that they danced.

1. Melissa and Ade - Disco (Doriana), Waltz (Ron Montez)

2. Kayla and Kupono - Contemporary (Mia), Broadway (Dowling)

3. Caitlin and Jason - Foxtrot (Meredith), Jazz (Mandy Moore)

4. Jeanine and Philip - Russian Folk Dance (???), Jive (Meredith)

5. Randi and Evan - Hip Hop (Napoleon/Tabitha), Samba (Pasha and Anya!)

6. Janette and Brandon - Argentine Tango (???), Pop Jazz (Wade)
Some people hate the combined names thing, some people love them. They amuse me. Here are the “official”: Melade, Kaypono, Caison, Philline, Evandi, Brandette

Melissa & Ade - Disco (Doriana)

Typical Doriana disco... forgettable, boring, etc. (according to my source). They brought a lot of energy, and the judges called it a “fantastic opening to the show.” The audience kind of found it blah.

Kayla & Kupono - Contemporary (Mia)

The idea was that Kayla was an addict trying to break free from her addiction, which was Kupono. It was a personal piece for Kupono (??), because one of his friends battled a drug addiction. He was dressed in all black and had lots of dark make-up on, and she was completely makeup-less. The audience loved this piece (so I guess will have to endure more Kupono and Kayla for the rest of the season). A lot of the audience was tearing up. There was one moment when Kupono comes up behind Kayla and just stares into the camera with this evil smirk that made chills go down my spine. The judges loved it and said Kayla can dance anything, and that Kupono could fine-tune some things but when he gets into character he's really good.

Caitlin & Jason - Foxtrot (Tony Meredith)

They really wanted to make it great, not just good. Caitlin had a really pretty glittery green dress on. The judges liked it, but they weren't absolutely crazy about it. My source thought it was pretty good, but not particularly memorable.

Evan & Randi - Hip Hop (Nappytabs)

The idea was that Evan and Randi were a couple who just found out Randi was pregnant. My source thought that it was adorable -- Evan was dressed in a collared shirt and an argyle vest and Randi had a yellow top on. The song was "Halo." They were pretty in sync, though there were some tricks and lifts that they struggled through. The audience really enjoyed it. The judges said Nappytabs did a good job of creating a hip-hop routine that would suit Evan and Randi's personalities.

Phillip & Jeanine - Russian Folk Dance (?)

Okay, this was incredibly weird. They were dressed very folksie, and... idk. They danced it well and tried, but it was just too strange. I don't think it will come off well with the audience. The judges hated it, basically, even though they commended Phillip and Jeanine for trying. Nigel hinted that he thought it was the choreographer's fault and that they shouldn't have included that style of dance. (So--and I’m inserting my own comment here--Nigel picks this genre to be featured and then critics “who?” for including it? Sick).

Brandon & Janette - Argentine Tango (One of my sources’ pretty sure it was Jean-Marc & France but another says it’s a new choreographer)

According to my source, this performance was FLAWLESS. Very sexy, with lots of subtle footwork and crazy lifts. Brandon and Janette tackled every one of them without a single mistake. The judges went crazy over this one. All of them gave standing ovations. They said Brandon finally got into the dance and stopped looking at the audience, and Janette was just incredible.

For the second half of the show, they had the contestants talk about what they'd miss the most about their partner, since they're switching next week.

Melissa & Ade - Waltz (Ron Montez)

Melissa teared up when she talked about how she'd miss Ade. Ade said he'd miss getting to know Melissa. The performance was very pretty. Melissa wore a gorgeous flowy white dress and Ade looked very handsome. According to my source, they did great. The audience really enjoyed it. The song was "Natural Woman." The judges kind of liked it, but they mentioned something about how Ade needs to get into the performance when he's dancing to a song like "Natural Woman." Ohkay??

Kayla & Kupono - Broadway (Joey Dowling)

My sources did not remember what Kayla said she'd miss the most about Kupono, but Kupono said he'd miss her sweaty hands/feet, lol. This was a cutesy 40s/50s-ish Broadway. The song was a well-known one but my sources didn’t remember it, sorry. Kayla wore an adorable flowery, pink dress and Kupono was all dressed up, complete with suspenders. The concept was two people meeting on a rooftop and falling in love. They danced it very well, but the judges didn't really like it. Nigel went on and on about how he grew up in that era and when two people met there was this uncertainty that they'd be bombed the next day (???) so they didn't want to get too involved or something (Okay, kind of a weird comment). He said Kayla and Kupono didn't capture that spirit. The rest of the judges agreed -- they said Kayla and Kupono were just dancing on the surface and it wasn't professional enough.

Caitlin & Jason - Lyrical Jazz (Mandy Moore)

Caitlin said she'd miss Jason's hugs. Jason said he'd miss her quirkiness and jokes. This performance had a very earthy feel to it, kind of like Tyce's jazz meets the piece Mandy choreographed for Courtney and Gev last season. Jason was shirtless. Mandy said in the beginning that it would have everything in it -- musicality, lifts, footwork, etc. The audience really liked this choreography. There were some really cool lifts in there. However, according to my sources Caitlin and Jason didn't nail the performance. They did everything correctly, but there was definitely something missing, because the piece had the potential to be a showstopper but it wasn't. Nigel said they didn't have enough chemistry. Mary disagreed, but she wasn't crazy about it (she said America loves Jason's face, though). Tyce said this is SYTYCD so they need to have everything, and they didn't.

Evan & Randi - Samba (Pasha & Anya)

Randi said she'd miss the look Evan gives her when he has to pretend he wants her, and Evan said he'd miss Randi's outgoing personality. They were both decked out in matching leopard-patterned outfits (Nigel said it looked like they cut up one of Mary's dresses and fashioned the outfits out of the remaining fabric). Randi was embarrassed about trying to be sexy. The performance was kind of meh for the audience. They both definitely tried, but it wasn't as hot as it should have been. The judges didn't like it. They said Randi was amazing, but they were really harsh on Evan. I don't remember what exactly they said (something about him not hitting things hard enough and putting too much jazz into the turns). The audience felt bad for him.

Phillip & Jeanine - Jive (Meredith)

My sources couldn’t remember what they said they'd miss about each other, sorry. But OMG they loved this! Jeanine was wearing a sparkly bra top, and she looked HOT. The song was "Stuff Like That There." The concept was Phillip is a sailor who comes home expecting his girlfriend to throw herself at him, but his girlfriend wants to make him appreciate her first. There was a lot of ass grabbing and Jeanine's boobs in Phillip's face. The judges adored it. They all agreed that Phillip surprised them and we shouldn't count him out yet, and that Jeanine is one of their favorite dancers.

Brandon & Janette - Jazz (Wade Robson)

Brandon said he'd miss Janette's spiciness and mentioned that she brought him out of his shell. My sources couldn’t remember what Janette said she'd miss about Brandon. This piece had a hard-hitting, hip-hoppy feel to it. The concept was two thieves trying to steal jewels. Janette was the impulsive one and Brandon was the calculating one, which they said suited their personalities. They started on the balcony wearing shades and moved their way down to the stage. The audience really liked this number... one of Wade's more understandable pieces. The judges loved it and said Brandon and Janette are by far the best couple and they'll be shocked if they don't receive the most votes.
