Watch it first! So You Think You Can Dance season 5 episode 22 “Top 4 Perform” airs on Wednesday August 05th, 2009 at 08:00 pm via FOX. In part 1 of the season five finale, the remaining four dancers, Brandon Bryant, Evan Kasprzak, Jeanine Mason and Kayla Radomski each perform for the judges.

So You Think You Can Dance

The top 4 compete for the last time, hoping to win the vote of America and the title of America’s Favorite Dancer, a price of $ 250,000 in cash and a place on the cover of the November edition of Dance Spirit magazine. Judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy and guest judge Mia Michaels, Tyce Diorio, Adam Shankman and Debbie Allen, will provide critical of the end of the season.

Another news from So You Think You can’t Dance, now that Paula Abdul has announced she won’t be returning as a judge on the upcoming ninth season of “American Idol,” the question is what she will do next. If she finds herself hard up for work, Abdul can always turn to former “Idol” show-runner Nigel Lythgoe.

So You Think You Can Dance

At Tuesday night’s taping of the finale of “So You Think You Can Dance,” Lythgoe was asked about Paula’s departure, and he repeated the invitation he had previously extended to her to be a guest judge and choreographer on the show, which he executive produces.

Released for the first time since the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, the final will be held on Wednesday, August 5 (8:00-10:00 PM ET / PT) and Thursday, August 6 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live / PT tape delayed) on FOX.
