Miss Amanda.

[applause]
Amanda, you think in your mind that you're giving me
all these facial expressions, and I'm
seeing three emotional levels during the performance,
and you're nailing it.
And its little, it's nothing.
With Abby, it's an issue with Amanda's face.
And it is my job to make sure that this week she gets it.
Nice.
Don't-- don't just drop your face like this.
Look.
All that face, yeah?
All that.
My choreographer of this week for my solo is Anthony.
And the style that I'm doing is jazz.
More character than the dancing.
The dancing is secondary right now.
Imitate Asia, like I asked you to.
Everybody keeps telling me, perform like Asia.
I'm like, that's her thing, not mine.
The choreography is not that great.
But I can do something with my face.
[laughs]
I need to concentrate right now on what Amanda's doing.
And Coreen does not need to be here in our rehearsal.
One, two, three.
- You see the body. - Right.
You see the technique.
But you don't see this.
Give me some smiles in the beginning.
The face is not stage ready.
More! More face, there!
More!
From my point of view, the transitions were choppy.
I understand. You know what?
Focus on your kid.
Focus on her face, too.
Because--
Oh, Madison's definitely bringing the emotion.
She's definitely bringing the emotion to the table.
Do you think so?
I didn't see that, but all right.
Oh--
Scream it out loud!
You're spatially challenged.
You're spatially challenged, facially challenged.
Go figure it out.
She needs to let go.
She needs to stop being so nice and humble.
It's just not enough.
You're not pushing yourself.
And it's frustrating me because I can't get it out of you.
I said all I can really say.
I can't do anything else, Amanda.
This is it.
OK?
This routine is important.
We can beat Madison.
We can beat Amanda.
They have nothing going on right here.
But we're concentrating, and we're
going to knock one of them out.
Amanda.
Amanda?
Why?
Because how strong I am, and how
my facial expression kills her.
We are making it tonight to the top three.
OK?
Like Madison, Amanda needs to give
her complete facial expressions while she's dancing.
I just hope that Abby can see that.
This is for you.
Next up, with a jazz routine about a freak show
contortionist, please welcome Amanda.
[applause]
I want to see if she gives more face this time around.
[music playing]
[applause]
Great job, Amanda!
Let's hear it for Amanda!
Let's see what the judges thought.
What I'm seeing is someone who's
so ballroomed out that they won't let them
self go past that ballroom.
And in this choreography, there was so many breaths
in between the actual movement for you
to show me more personality.
But you won't let her out.
The only time I saw her out was the last eight count.
But she was too late.
I saw the faces.
I saw that.
That's more than I can ask for.
Amanda failed to have facial expression.
If Amanda goes home, I can beat out Brianna and Madison.
They don't have the performance and the facial expressions
that I can make.
Amanda, Brianna.
So Amanda, your technique the way you move--
it's effortless.
It's flawless.
I've just wanted more from you in here.
Brianna, congratulations.
You are in the top three.
[applause]
I'm very upset right now because it's
been a really big challenge for me
with my whole face and everything.
But I did my best.
And you know what?
It's just their opinion.
