Melinda Sullivan tap dances off the stage

Last week's elimination was no surprise to me.  I have predicted that tap dancer Melinda Sullivan would be the third to be eliminated from this season's So You Think You Can Dance competition.  That prediction has come true, and the judges made the right decision. She should have been eliminated before Alexis Agdeppa and Cristina Santana, because America was unwilling to connect with her.  Also a shocking upturn is that she was in the bottom three Robert Roldan and Billy Bell.  While the judges went back stage to deliberate, R&B star Ne-Yo performed "Beautiful Monster."
