I've posted a list of last night and tonights songs and thoughts - I did a double header tonight since I went out last night after working a 12 hour shift... same today - worked a 12 hour then came home and cozied up with my PVR mwahahahaha....

Kent’s solo was to Train’s “The Finish Line” – Powerful

I wish Kent had won... He proved himself last night with the contemporary with Allison... Lauren was good but you never saw her go there... Both Rob and Kent had moments where the dance really affected them... She didn't
Maybe I'm just a lover of the sap ones :P
