Most of these kids look older than me.
J.T., 10, Jazz:Take it to the bridge, J.T.
To quote Paula, J.T.
Fox/ screengrab
Hes one of those people who use a word to define that word.
J.T.s favorite pose is his favorite because it just is.
Of his polka-dot attire, he says, I love it so much.
Its just like, the polka dots.
Asked what he has to say to America, he shrugs, Nothing.
is bringing honesty back.He gets a ticket to the Academy.
Good news, Tahani: I had fun.
Thats one way to spin it.Tahanisgoing to the Academy.
ASIDE:Great moments in interviews and even better moments in naming: My b-boy name is Distraction.
Um, because I get distracted a lot.
Emma, 10, Tap:We have our Paula strategist!
Its the dancers choice.
But since Emma is a tapper, she goes a step (ha) further.
Paula calls her electrifying.
Then she and Nigel trade insults for a while.
Dont think about Nigels age, either.Emma is going to the Academy.
Tia is poised and controlled beyond her years.
Listen to that sentence!
It sounds good because hes French, but it also sounds good because its real.
The judges need to be critiquing these kids its a sign of respect.
I feel like I just hit dry land after months at sea.
Maybe its a Spanish beach.Tia is going to the Academy.
NEXT: Ladies, leave your man at home
Leana, 10, Ballroom:Look at her go!
Jason says that her routine made him want to get up and dance.
She might not know if Cats a dinosaur, butshes going to the Academy.
Alex, 13, Broadway Hip Hop:Am I the only one whos not feeling this?
But everyone loves him, I guess?
Okay.Alex is going to the Academy.
But I see why this nugget is the exception.
Ainslee is too adorable not to watch.
Were here for how well she lives her life.
Second, and more importantly, she makes this face when Nigel asks if she has a boyfriend.
Her mom and her stage mom are doing something right.
Shes feeling this dance.
I saw you do it the first time), but shes so good that it doesnt matter.
Diana is an artist.
I feel like shes seen things.Shell see the Academy next.
ASIDE:Does Paula have some unresolved height-related insecurities to work through?
The same could be said of Danielas mom, who gives Nigel and Jason an impromptu lesson.
That does it for Chicago!
Warming up to the new format?
Lets talk about it.
DERULO-ISMOF THE NIGHT:Mom must have cleaned those taps with Pine-Sol, that dance was so clean.
