Twitter'So You Think You Can Dance': This week's eliminee on his father's death & what's next
You have got to hand it to "So You Think You Can Dance" tapper Phillip Attmore who continued to smile (and dance) after losing his dad to cancer last week and getting eliminated from the competition tonight.
This kid is a class freaking act.
I spoke with Phillip backstage not long after he learned his fate and he couldn't have been more gracious about the judges' decision, the fact that he was saddled with ballroom two weeks in a row and about what's next for him.
Two words (both proper nouns): Ryan Kasprzak.
The older brother of season 5 finalist Evan Kasprzak -- whom we know from his own "So You Think You Can Dance" audition experiences -- is a very close friend of Phillip's and the two are talking about teaming up.
I'll let Phillip tell you...
Good kid.
Would like to see him do well.
By the way, his female counterpart this week, fellow tapper Bianca Revels, was so distraught after her elimination that she decided not to do any post-show chatting, but I would just like to say that I loved your "dance for your life," Ms. Bianca, and I wanted to yell that at you when you walked by after the show, but you looked too upset and I wasn't sure if yelling was really appropriate, but I thought your personality came through loud and clear, lady, and it sucks to see you go so soon.
That is all.

Sorry, I wanted to like him but I found him smarmy and totally self-centered.
SMARMY? How? The video shows he's a good guy and his speech last night made me cry.
Class act all the way. He has an different kind of positive 'it' factor few others have.
Bianca is a class act 100% too. She has personality to spare. I was sorry to see her go too soon. I thought she has as much talent as anyone.
At least they both have Ryan Kasprzak as a friend.
Glad Bianca is gone, but I would have rather seen another guy (or TWO) go before Phillip!
Wow, xillip, I love it when people judge someone who is going through one of the hardest things in their life (losing a parent) based on the grand total of 20 minutes you have seen him on tv. Classy, and a little smarmy, perhaps.
He has an different kind of positive 'it' factor few others have., Bianca is really beautiful but she is gone now.
His personality just always rubbed me the wrong way. He just seemed fake. But, his speech when he left was very touching and I did feel sad to see him go then. But, it was too late and he's gone.

I am really sad to see Phillip go. I really like him. I also feel for him becuase my father passed away 3 weeks and I can't imagine getting up on stage and performing in the midst of that. Also, he has one of the best smiles I have ever seen.
