Live Blogging So You Think You Can Dance - The Finale

8:01 - I do like Cat's hair straight. She really is a knockout.

Record breaking voting last night. I was one of the millions! Yep. For the first time ever, I actually voted. I picked up the phone and made the call for Jeanine. (Three times!)

8:04 - Well, I was hoping for an original opening number. We've seen this Brand New Day routine before. It's not my favorite opening number but I do think it's highly creative. Way to go, Tyce!

Seven "judges" tonight! Lil C, Mia, Tyce, Debbie, Adam, Mary and Nigel.

8:19 - Adam's favorite number, Philip's and Jeanine's Mad was one that I really liked as well. I got teary eyed watching the original performance.

8:21 - Nigel's favorite was also Brandon's favorite, his tango with Janette. Perhaps it's the bigger stage, but I'm just not feeling it. Brandon looks a little stiff. Maybe it's just nerves?

8:26 - I love this T-Mobile commercial!

8:30 - Debbie's favorite number is Asuka's and Vitolio's waltz. It was okay, just like it was the first time around.

8:32 - Mary's favorite was my absolute favorite. Jeanine and Jason performing Travis Wall's beautiful choreography. Oops, he threw the necklace just out of her reach. Yes, there was the kiss for Mary!

8:41 - Mia's favorite is Max and Kayla's samba. It was missing some energy. Or perhaps Kayla is nervous.

8:44 - The top 4 got to see a premiere screening of Fame. I will definitely see this movie! (Oh man, I have a performance on the night Fame opens.)

8:47 - Another of Debbie's favorite performances is my favorite opening numbers - Calle Ocho!

8:55 - Australia's winner. The background is making me a bit dizzy!

8:58 - No, Lil C. Why Jason and Caitlin's Bollywood number? There were so many more numbers more buck than this one.

9:01 - Okay, here we go. Results. My fingers are crossed. Kayla got 4th place. And I agree with America. Yes, she is beautiful and had beautiful lines, but there was just something missing in some of her performances. Last night Nigel said her personality was missing, and I do agree, but I also think she didn't dance as clean as those beautiful lines.

9:10 - Another of Adam's favorite performances, Evan's and Randi's Butt Dance.

9:12 - Mary loved last night's pasodoble performed by Brandon and Jeanine.

9:15 - More results. 3rd place is Evan. Nigel absolutely called it last night. He said it would come down to Jeanine or Brandon.

I wanted Evan to be voted off earlier in the season. But then I started rooting for him. He is exceptional in his genre. He will go very far as a dancer.

I'm tearing up! He is such a sweet guy!

9:24 - Nigel truly cracks me up. His favorite, Addition with Kayla and Kupono. This is such a wonderful piece. Kayla is even crying!

9:27 - Again with the Rage Boyz.

9:31 - Tyce's fan-friggin-tastic favorite is Brandon's and Janette's disco.

9:39 - One last favorite performance, which is the one that made me absolute ball. Powerfully choreographed by Tyce, it's the dance about breast cancer performed by Melissa and Ade. I'm not balling, but it still is as powerful as it was originally.

9:43 - What? Are the judges really going to appear in this Chorus Line piece? YES! The Kodak is going crazy with applause!

9:51 - Well, it's that time. Final results. Nigel already knows the results! Come on, Jeanine! iofhjoirojio9po oh, sorry about that! I'm jumping up and down! Whoo hoo! So well deserved! Yes, I helped make Jeanine American's Favorite Dancer!
