Some thoughts, in no particular order, on tonight's derriere-filled "So You Think You Can Dance." And please chime in with your own!

1) I had a sudden realization tonight: In 30 years, Miley Cyrus is going to look and sound exactly like Mary Murphy. "Hannah Montana" fans, think about it.

2) I enjoy Mia Michaels' French-poodle routines more than I enjoy her electrocuted-zombie routines.

3) I actually thought that waltz was cheer-worthy in its loveliness.

4) The most successful dances on this show tend to be the ones that convey deep emotion. Tyce D'Orio's Broadway routines this season have been cute and clever, but emotionally flat. Does that put his dancers at a disadvantage?

5) It's tricky to choreograph a dance to Carmina Burana. Somehow the music overshadows anything that's happening onstage.

6) Melissa and Ade seem the couple to beat. Who doesn't love a naughty ballerina?
