So You Think You Can Dance picks the final four

The Final Four dancers on So You Think You Can Dance were revealed tonight as we said goodbye to two more of our excellent dancers.

First up though was the group dance. Tonight's dance was a beautiful routine to "The Rose" by Bette Midler. This was another routine that just brought tears to my eyes. It was choreographed by Emmy nominated choreographer Mandy Moore.

After an introduction of the judges, host Cat Deeley said that the number of people registering on declareyourself.com went up 400% after last week's promo for the website. Then Adam Shankman announces that the winner this year will get another prize. He says that money is important but experience is more important. So he is offering a role in a movie he's producing to be given to the winner of the competition.

After a commercial break, Cat gives the judges a chance to say whatever is on their mind to the top six. First up is Nigel Lythgoe. He tells them that while each of them loves the praise and adulation they have to be prepared for rejection. He tells them not to let that consume them but propel them through their careers. Nigel adds that each of the top six pulled in over a million votes last night. Mary Murphy wants them to know that they have grown so much. She is proud of whoever wins as they all deserve it.

Adam wants them to remember what beautiful, kind and sweet people they are. He tells them to take this into their lives with them and remember every moment. Adam also tells them to be kind to their fans and show them respect.

Then we get each dancer's solo.

Courtney was up first dancing to "Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy. Mark was second dancing to "Wind It Up" by Gwen Stefani. Katee was third dancing to "Beautiful Disaster" by Jon McLaughlin. Joshua picked "I Can Make You Dance" by Zapp. After he danced, Cat made him smile - his braces are off! Chelsie picked "The Girl's Gone Wild" by Travis Tritt. Last up was Twitch, who danced to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin.

The guest dancer tonight was Lil' Demon, a six year old dancer. He did a street dance to "Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force. He tells Cat he's been dancing for two year. His brother teaches him, though he says he is better than his brother now.

Cat gives the girls their results first. She sends Katee off to safety, telling her she didn't necessarily get the most votes, but did get enough to be safe. Then it was time to let of the guys take a breath and be safe. Joshua gets sent off to safety and will be in the finale next week too.

Lady GaGa comes on to perform her song "Just Dance." I'm not sure I liked the song, but I know I didn't like her. She's weird.

Finally we're down to the elimination of the girls. Either Courtney or Chelsie would be eliminated. After 11 million votes, Courtney will join Katee next week in the finale.

That means Chelsie's journey has ended. Now either Mark or Twitch would be going home. Moving on to the finale next week is Twitch. Mark will be headed home. Mark and Chelsie as a couple gave us some wonderful moments. One of the most memorable routines of the entire season was their "Bleeding Love" routine. They entertained us and I wish them both wonderful futures.

Beanstalk- er
	I can't wait until next week. It should be one heck of a show!

If you can't be a good example, then be a horrible warning!

	I am so upset Chelsie has been voted off!!! First Kherington and now Chelsie??? At first I thought Chelsie could be the winner. Then I knew she would at least be in the finale! I wasn't surprised about Mark leaving. Mark and Chelsie were one of my fav couples, especially in "Bleeding Love". I also can't wait until next week for the finale! Who will win? Joshua? or Katee? (I'm glad Joshua finally got those braces off!!)
