After a tough season and two hours of nothing but dancing, America finally crowned the winner of
So You Think You Can Dance last night. In what
doesn't seem to be a major surprise to anyone, the honor went to
Jeanine Mason. Out of the two girls left, it definitely seemed like it would be Jeanine who would win.
During the two hours leading up to the big reveal, the audience at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood was treated to encores of all the judges' favorite dances from the past season. Jeanine and
Jason Glover did their
Travis Wall dance about friends falling in love,
Evan Kasprazak and
Randi Evans did their Mia Michaels "butt dance", and
Janette Manrana and
Brandon Bryant did their disco routine.
In addition to all of that, the final dance of the evening was a kind of creepy, marionette version of "One" from the Broadway musical
A Chorus Line. The musical is all about dancers auditioning to be in the chorus of a show, so it fit in perfectly with the whole theme. The top 8 were also joined on stage by the judges from that evening who ended the number.
Finally, after all of that, Jeanine was announced as the winner. She even got kinda cutesy by saying, "I'd like to thank the Academy" as a nod to the fact that they were in the Kodak Theater. Bravo Jeanine! Can't wait to see you dancing up a storm around the globe. And get ready everyone, because the sixth season starts in about a month. Yayz! I hope
Paula Abdul is a guest judge.
