Donyelle Jones: An Inspiration

Friday, September 29, 2006

Tyra Tyra Tyra !!!!!!!

I was home sick today ... so now, of course I'm behind in school .... but, I turned on the T.V. ... and it was Tyra! I was so happy, because I'd nearly forgotten!!! Anyway, here's my own personal synopis...
MAJOR SPOILERAGE!!!!!!!!

First, Tyra came on stage with her regular theme song going faster than usual. She was just dancing her head off! Then, she gave a little intro of So You Think You Can Dance, and we saw a lot of good pictures. Sadly, not any individual ones of Donyelle, like the other top four had gotten.
Anyway she called out Heidi first, and Heidi danced down the runway latin style. Then, she called out Donyelle, who just looked so cute and sophisticated on her way. Then, Benji danced down, and EVERY girl in the studio was screaming for him ... they definitely thought he was hot! :D

They each hugged Tyra then sat down. Tyra spoke to Heidi about her alter-ego, ghetto girl, Shedon. I was kind of confused. But, it was explained that it was to get into the feeling of hip-hop. Tyra asked Donny about booty popping and how she helped Heidi. Donyelle was so polite, when she explained using your lower back instead of your full "bottom".
Tyra also spoke to Benji about his girlfriend/mission. At one point, Benji put his head down while the audience was going "awwwwwwww", and I seriously thought he was going to cry ... but he totally wasn't. It was just me being weird. And Tyra spoke to Donyelle about quitting dancing. Donyelle talked about how it was hard for her to get jobs as a dancer of her weight. But then, she and Tyra both kind of said that America kept her in the competition for so long, it must mean something. Then, the entire audience clapped.
Then Tyra had the dancers stand up and show her what people at parties and clubs should do. Benji had most of the inspiration. But then, Donyelle had a tip. She said, when you see a cute guy in the club, just sway side to side with your hips... Benji looked at her, and his face was like, "Oh really?" It was a cute smirk. The entire audience was on their feet swaying. And Donny was like, toss your hair a bit, and look over your shoulder. Soon, Benji started doing it too.

The show went on commercial, and when it came back, there was a dance-off! It started with Donny (who had taken off her heels) and she began to really dance hip hop. There were lots of screams, and I swear Benji was checking her out the entire time. He looked impressed and proud. Then, Heidi got to dance, and his face went to normal. Benji, of course, danced very well, and everyone was screaming for him. Then, it was Donyelle's turn again, and it went to belly dancing music ... Now, we all know Donny can belly dance, but it looked like Benji was seeing it for the first time. He was seriously checking her out now(aka: looking at her body). Lol, then, Heidi, danced to square dancing music, and Benji got to rock out to metal.

Then the real dance-off began. It was first between Heidi and Donyelle, and they both tried to look competitive while Benji got on one knee (I wish I could explain that better). Then, it was between Benji and Heidi, and they basically danced like partners. Very cute. And then, it was Benjelle!!!! :D
They started out circling each other, and then Donyelle had her back to Benji's stomach. Then she rubbed her booty on his ... er... front area... and he made a face. Supposedly acting. Then they just went crazy .. Benji got on the floor and it was Donyelle who smacked his booty! It was so funny!!! They looked like they were having a great time!
But sadly, the music changed and Benji danced with Tyra, while Donyelle went to the side. Donyelle and Heidi stood next to each other, and watched Benji dance with Tyra. I honestly don't think Donyelle was jealous though. She was laughing her head off with Heidi!
Well that's about it. I really enjoyed the show .. and if you missed it, I'll post the video soon!

More Tour Reviews (WARNING!!!! DONNY'S WASN'T THERE!!!*cries*

Here's a review from the Minneapolis show from shesamess on fox forums!

OH MY GOD. THIS HAPPENED AT THE MINNEAPOLIS SHOW AT THE ORPHEUM ON SEPTEMBER 24TH :D The show was absolutely amazing. They did all my favourite dances: Sexy Love, Tranji, Sexyback, WE CAN'T STOP THE BEAT OMG I HYPERVENTALATED AT THIS ONE, and Travis and Heidi's bench contemporary one (which got a standing ovation). It was just all so good. The disco number they did was so awesome, I was just screaming at the top of my lungs. The lady beside me was a dummy and kept glaring and huffing at me but I was like shut up, go home. Dimitry had his shirt off for most of it, ughfjhf. I'm not a huge fan. I got a few good pictures and some realllllllllly good videos but our camera broke halfway through. I cried a bit because it was just so awful, but I got over it pretty fast because ...here's what happened. Whitney and Jen went to the main floor to buy souvenirs and stuff so Melissa, my sister and I stayed on the second floor just chatting with the security gaurd and waiting for them. We started to beg him to let us meet the cast but he was just like, "No, only 50 VIPs are meeting them and some of them paid a lot of money." So I was pouting about how I was wearing my "I'm meeting Travis" dress and he was laughing at us. So then my sister goes down to look for Whitney and Jen and 10 minutes later the elevator opens and my sister was like, "TAMARA GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" So I ran over and into the elevator and RIGHT INTO DIMITRY. They were all in there. Turns out when my sister took the elevator down, the whole cast was getting on and they were like, "Come with us!" so she did, OBVIOUSLY. So I'm standing in the elevator, Ivan and Travis 2 feet from me and trying not to have a conniption and remain calm. We all got off and I talked to Natalie first - she was so, so sweet. I told her I loved her and she said it back to me in Greek, haha. She is gorgeous and so nice and friendly and she was so excited when we said we were from Canada. Next was Heidi. She is so, so tiny in person. Like a polly pocket. I'm only 5'3 and she was a good 3-5 inches shorter than me. She was so friendly and adorable and bubbly and we told her we loved her and she kept telling us how cute we were and how excited she was we came all the way from Canada. Aw, I loved her. NEXT UP WAS TRAVISOGFKMNKDFM. I almost passed out. My hands were shaking so bad and I kind of popped up beside him and was like, "HEY! I saw your Dr. Pepper commercial." WTF. Who says that. I felt like such a loser but he was like, "Ooooh cool! I was like 9 there, so young!" And he signed my ticket 'To Tamara, Love Travis'. He is so good looking in person - he was wearing a union jack shirt and jeans and white sneakers and his hair was so perfect and soft (yeah, I ran my fingers through it), and he was about an inch taller than me. He was so hot, I was dying. He gave me a really tight squeeze, aw. And then there was Ivan. He is SO TALL. And gangly. And cute. He was really nice too, asking where we were from and signing all our stuff. He was kind of distracted though because it turns out all the other VIPS were friends and family. It was supposed to be on the third floor but when they got out on the second floor and started talking to us they moved everyone down there with us. It was so crazy and random. We were just in the right place at the right time. Anyway, I told Ivan I loved him on Ellen and him and Travis kept going, "OH, ELLEN!" and then Travis started talking about this answering machine ...? I don't know. Thennn there was Allison. She wasn't very friendly and while she was signing our stuff she was talking to some other people. But she was really cute. I was kind of dissapointed because she was my favourite out of the girls, but what can you do. We were the only fans in that whole meet and greet - the rest were friends and family so I understood. We talked a bit about High School Musical, and that's about all. Dimitry was next. He was wearing a white hoodie zipped down with no shirt underneath, lol. He hugged me and signed my ticket, blahblahblah. He was really charming but 5 minutes later he started making out with some random girl I assume was his girlfriend. Just in front of everyone. Awkward. We talked to Ryan next. He was never one of my favourites but he was so, so nice and he gave really good hugs and he was just a total sweetheart. We just made small talk though, because Travis was a foot away from me and I was distracted, haha. And then suddenly there was screaming and I knew BENJI had arrived. I was freaking out. We made our way over and OH MY LORD he is so cute in person. He was wearing this blue t-shirt and tweed pants and polka dot Vans that he wore in the Hairspray dance. My friend had the same ones and she told him and he was like, "Haha! I didn't know if they were boys or girls - but I have no shame, I'M A DANCER!" it was so cute. He was so friendly and giddy and I told him I was so happy they did the Broadway dance and he was like, "OOOH! Thanks! I hurt my knee really bad, it's the size of a grapefruit." He gave me a hug and OMG HE SMELLED AMAZING. We told him and he was just laughing and wafting it at us, aww. And then he signed my ticket, "To Tamara, I love CANUCKS, Love Benji". I was so sad we didn't have a camera at that moment :[ And as we were leaving I was like, "Can I have one more hug for the road? Is that creepy?" and he was like, "NOOOO! Why would that be creepy! Come here!" and he hugged my really tight and was rubbing my bakvccjvkdssdl. I was so happy. BTW, the whole left side of my dress smells of him. Ugfhjhf. Then we went back to talk to Travis and we talked to him for about 15 minutes. First we asked where they were going next and he said Detroit and I was like, "Where's that exactly?" and he just stared at me and was like, "OH YEAH! You guys are from CANADA!" and then Jen made a map in the air and was trying to ask him where Detroit was on it and he was laughing and making crazy hand motions trying to show us, we were all giggling like school girls by the end. He was so friendly. He asked us where Winnipeg was and we said it was in the prairies and were like, "Come visit!" and he was like, "Uhh, I don't think so!" And he said he hadn't been home since May, poor kid. And then he was like, "Too bad you guys couldn't vote, hey?" and I was like, "I voted in my mind!" and he was like, "Oh thanks! A lot of good that did!" and I made a really pouty face and he was like, "Aww! I'm kidding" and he hugged me and was stroking my hair and face, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH@#@##^%$#@%# So then he was like, "Thank you guys so much for coming here, you're amazing. Drive safe, okay?" WHAT A CUTE BOY. He actually said bye about 8 times but then he'd start up a whole new conversation and we'd all be off again, loll. I forgot this part: my sister asked him if it hurts when he does that bench sliding in his contemporary with Heidi and he was like, "No, it's rounded! Well actually, it shouldn't hurt but I have a back injury, so now it does!" Awwwww.

donyelle wasn't there. i met jaymz too. but yeah, travis said that donyelle had just gotten over a bad injury and didn't perform in a couple of their shows.


Guys, I'm worried .... bad injury??!!?? *worries like heck*

I told her that I made her fanspace, but she didn't get it, and was like... "I already have a my space... OHH! You made that?!" and she was all excited and I got hugs and stuff!
She's SO nice, it was so cool and surreal!

Awfully Sad ..

It's finally hit me. The tour is coming to my city and I won't be there. I tried to get tickets yesterday and there were some! I was so excited! But after I entered everything and pressed submit ticket master said I'd exceeded the time limit and they released the tickets there were holding for me (note: I've never used ticket master before). Anyway, I tried again, but by that time someone else had already taken the tickets. . . oh well ... *cries* But in Great News ... Tyra Show Sept. 29th!!!! On Friday!!
The stage turns into a dance floor when the winner and runner-ups of the hit reality show, “So You Think You Can Dance,” stop by to show their sexy, signature moves to Tyra and give her audience tips on the dos and don’ts for shakin’ it in the clubs. Tyra challenges them to a dance-off, but all bets are off when she joins in on the fun to drop it like it’s hot!
Are you excited???!!!
