Damned good number. I found the song choice about gay sex (yes, folks, that’s what “Relax” is all about) fascinating considering you have a gay male dancer who exudes sexuality and sensuality.
I also thought it was funny that they cut the most sexual line out of the song during the performance (“Relax, when you want to suck it to it, relax, when you want to come…”). Gotta keep it PG for the little girls in the front row!

What do the judges persist on down playing the magnificence that is Jakob? All praise when to Ashleigh. She was good, but almost as much of a prop as the cane. What gives?

Ashley was Ok here, but I couldn’t take my eyes of of Jakob. His movements are incredible. Still think it will come down to him and Russell as the final two.

This couple is the best.especially Ashleigh deliver so well.Jakob is good but on this specifc song.he isn’t wild fierce and ‘gay’ enough compare to old ‘relax’ MTV.

Jakob is very quickly becoming my favorite to win as Nathan continues to disappoint. I have seriously never seen anyone move the way he does. He’s just magnificent. And I love the fact that he is good friends with Jeanine.
But for the love of God, please please please send Ashleigh home people. As the previous posted said, shes more of a prop for Jakob than anything.

Loved this number! I too hope it comes down to Jakob and Russell. They’re both amazing dancers.

I haven’t really been following this season, so I really appreciate being able to view the individual dances on this site – thanks, Rickey!

Wow, Jakob is fabulous. The angularity of his movements were incredible. He so embodied the character he was portraying.

And, Mandy Moore? Wow. Super choreography!

likes Jacob but how I wish he would dance more masculine. He walks more like a girl than Ashleigh. The only time I saw him masculine was during that 60s group number.

I think it’s better that the judges aren’t praising Jakob as much right now. That way, when he’s partnered with the best dancers of the season, it’ll be dynamite and he’ll seem like he’s improving more than ever.

Remember Kayla and all the praising. That why she got 4th. Will(S4) got 7th/8th this way. Judge’s favorite is never the way to win.
