Benji @ MindSay

Here is fan video dedicated to Benji and Donyelle from "So You Think You Can Dance". I didn't realize how many fan videos are out there for this couple. We'll miss the BenJelle phenomenon. By the way, I thought I'd post this for Pimpmunk because he seems to have an appreciation for the THICK chocolate sistas. Enjoy!

Benji Schwimmer won the title of America's Favorite Dancer tonight on the reality show "So You Think You Can Dance". He was an early favorite of mine and he was teamed up with another favorite of mine, Donyelle, who represented for the thick sistas. They had great chemistry and I think they were one of the most entertaining couples to watch.

I posted a clip of my favorite performance of his. He performs the tightest mambo I've ever seen with his cousin, Heidi, who was also among the top four finalists. It was choreographed by Alex Da Silva who has got to be one of the best Latin Ballroom choreographers out there! In addition to the fancy acrobatics and tricks in the dance, the speed of this mambo is absolutely CRAZY! I geeked when they did their side by side, toe / heel foot work. Awesome! I used to go salsa dancing at least three times a week in my bachelorette days and I was pretty good (so I've been told) but this dance was PHENOMENAL! Enjoy!

• On an interesting note, I did a YAHOO image search for "so you think you can dance" and one of the images it came up with this:

       We went to Mest's last concert ever. Matt was actually there. We had such a good fucking time, it was crazy. Those Mest fans really do kick ass. I guess someone seen me and Benj backstage becuase some dude shouted, "Joel and Benji!" and pointed at us. So then we had to go out on stage and for one the encore songs me, benj, and tony played "The Young and the Hopeless". It was pretty awesome you should have been there, paul and billy. Shoulda been there. Afterwards, me and the guys from Mest went to do a signing. Benji didnt come out becuase he "would have teared becuase it was Mest's last SHOW EVER.". Thats an exact quote I didnt waste my time begging him though becuase since Mest played at midnight they got done with they're show at 2:00am, so we were kinda, not really tired so we just stayed out side and signed till like i dont know, I think it was 3:30am maybe. And then you will never believe what happened next. Every one from Mest was going back to Tonys house just to chill for a little becuase of how they would never play another concert together again. Now, Benji was already back at Tony's house becuase Tony gave him the keys. Tony, I guess, is single and started talking about when him and Benj were going out and then that kinda lead to like "snuggling and cuddling" as Nick called it. -shakes head- and then well Tony and Benji went to the guest room. Alone. So, me, Nick, Jer, and Matt were like, "Whoaaa, dude do you think they're like......ya know?" Then I noded, becuase I know thats something sick that Tony and Benji would do. I wasn't quite sure though, so we sent Jeremiah to go check on them, but we told him not to open the door, and you know what that sick, twisted bastard did? He opened the door. Yeah, and according to Jer...they were...fucking. Which is nasty, and if benji or Tonyever reads this, Im dead, but oh well. I had to telll zee fans. So, about an hour goes by and Matt has to leave becuase its like 4:45 in the morning and he needs to go home to see his little girl and family. Yup, Ill post more later...BENJ IS COMING! i think...

Wowowowoowow kay last night was freak'n AMAZING. I went to a Good Charlotte concert (my favourite band, yes my FAVOURITE band thank you) and I was all sad cuz i was in the 300 level and its pretty far away and i wouldn't get any pictures and just sad *tear* but THANK THE FREAK'N LORD that those annoying people who sell tickets by yelling at people and yelling out prices said Floor Tickets and i looked at my dad n was like OMG. lol so we got those tickets and for my 2nd concert every going to it KICKED SO MUCH ASS! I got so close to the stage and Billy kept looking at me and smiling:) so i took pictures, and Joel like sat in the crowd kinda and I MISSED HIM BY 1INCH my hand wouldnt reach any farther and i almmmmmmmmmmost touched him! I also got a part of a towel that he was er "dancing" with :) mw hahah me n some plp had to bring it to the see the security guard cuz we couldnt rip it and i had the brilliant idea of getting scissors. :) man it was so sad, benji went up and sang "Wounded and Emotionless" and played guitar and he asked for cellphone or lighters to go on, and you'd look back and like everyone in the stadium had one on and it looked amazing, man i could cry it was just soooo emotional and aww i love benji so much. :) hahah benji was like "dancing" behind joel and he didnt know it n then joel turns around n benji runs away laughing haha so funny:) anyways the concert was fucking amazing, so before any of you non-open minded dickheads say they suck, go to one of they're concerts in the mosh pit, and i doubt you'll think they still stuck.
