The Top 8 finalists were revealed after Noelle Marsh and Nathan Trasoras were eliminated tonight on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Marsh, 18, is a Contemporary dancer from Sanford, NC; and Trasoras, 18, is a Contemporary dancer from Downey, CA. This week’s results show also featured performances by Snoop Dogg with Quest Crew, who debuted his new single, “I Wanna Rock,” as well as by LXD (Legion of Extraordinary Dancers).

With only two weeks to go until the final showdown, the competition gets even hotter when the Top 8 finalists (Ashleigh Di Lello, Ryan Di Lello, Russell Ferguson, Mollee Gray, Jakob Karr, Kathryn McCormick, Legacy Perez and Ellenore Scott) take the stage Tuesday, Dec. 8 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on the penultimate performance show in hopes of making it to the finale and earning the title of America’s Favorite Dancer.

On Wednesday, Dec. 9 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), Season Eight AMERICAN IDOL winner Kris Allen and pop sensations Wonder Girls will take the stage. Allen will perform his newest single, “Live Like You’re Dying,” and Wonder Girls will sing their hit song, “Nobody,” before America’s vote is revealed and Cat Deeley names the six dancers who will perform in the following week’s finale.

Kris Allen won the hearts of America each week on AMERICAN IDOL by adding his signature pop-rock sound to each performance he gave. Allen who hails from Conway, AR, is a pianist and self-taught guitar player. He recently released his debut self-titled album on 19 Recordings/ Jive Records, and his first single from the album, “Live Like We’re Dying,” has received rave reviews and is currently climbing the U.S. radio charts.

Pop sensation Wonder Girls sold over 30,000 copies of their debut single “Nobody” during the week of October 11 earning them the No. 76 position with a bullet on the Hot 100. This is the first time ever a music group from South Korea has debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Already a hit in Asia, the Wonder Girls are striking a chord with a young U.S. audience, having just completed their first U.S. concert tour with the Jonas Brothers.

    I was sorry to see Noelle go but that’s the way the ball bounces.
    As long as Legacy is there I will go on loving the show.
    I was thrilled to see Kris Allen on the show — I LOVE Kris Allen.

    - I’m okay with vote results this week.
    - Ellenore & Jacob contemporary was absolutely amazing.
    - Ashleigh & Legacy hip-hop was absolutely terrible.
    (please do something to the choreographer, there’s really uninspired)
    - And please bring back the variety of the judging panel! I’m boring!!!

    Sorry to see Nathan go but he was continuously bashed and battered by that judge that looks like Bart Simpson and sometimes acts like him too. I think he was treated unfairly and really was doomed by the negative comments. Its unfortunate because we really did not get to see his growth and true potential. I am disappointed in this season. Last season by far was your best with good dancers and great choreography. This season is lacking in both. No Mia this season, huge loss. I miss the quality of dancers like Danny and Brandon. I’ll pass on the rest of this season and maybe come back next year. Hopefully, you will have better dancers, choreography and judges who are objective and not mean spirited.
    Being executive producer should not allow you to mistreat contestants.

    OK, the results last night were what I expected after Tuesday…not necessarily what I wanted, but what I thought was fair based on the performances.

    I will miss Noelle in the competition, but she does get to tour, and she does have Adam ready to hire her, so she’ll be OK.

    After next week who do I think will be the top 6? Who are the three best guys and the three best gals? (In no particular order) Ellenore, Kathryn, Ashleigh, Russell, Jakob and Legacy.

    Going out on a limb here… Top 4 … Ellenore, Kathryn, Russell and Jakob.

    I think it’s unfair when the judges say something about he choreography. It’s not the fault of the dancers, they dance what they are given. You know for a fact that if it’s contemporary they are going to go nuts. they always LOVE it. no matter what. It could be off the wall and they just think it’s the BEST ever.. I agree i think that Mary should leave and get some one else in there. Even once in a while. She drives me crazy sometimes.

    Can any one tell me what sort of sickness Ashleigh had when she was 13. I have a friend that is going through a similar problem and doesn’t know what it really is. Her son is undergoing some stem cell infusion treatments but they don’t seem to be helping and they are very expensive!! He lost all feeling in one of his arms and now his leg is starting to get weak. No one has an answer to this problem and when I heard about Ashleigh, it sounded kind of similar except he is 26 and the only thing they can think of is that it might be ALS. Just thought I would see if anyone could shed some light on this situation.

    I think that America got it right this week. I wish Nathan and Noelle all the best of luck possible in the future.

    Voters, keep in mind that next week is the week before the finale, and there will be six people in the finale this season, instead of four.

    Kathryn should most definitely be in the finale, and she was in the Bottom 4 this week, so next week, it is very important that the voters should NOT assume she is safe, and vote for her no matter what, especially if her voting number is 1-888-TEMPO-01. She has been outstanding this season. Let us get Kathryn McCormick into the finale!

    As for Noelle, she did a great job this season. For certain, she will go far and have a great career. Hopefully, we will get to see her later this season and in future seasons for guest performances, updates, and other things. Maybe we will see her on another show some time soon. I said before that I wish that people who made Top 20 but got eliminated before the finale could come back another season, but at least this is not the end, it is just the beginning.

    As for Nathan, it was interesting to see him audition in Season 5 and get a ticket for Vegas for Season 6 while he was still 17, then turn 18 before Season 6, go to Vegas, and make the Top 20. This inspires anyone who is almost 18 to do the same.

    As for Mollee, she did great this week, as well. Again, voters don’t assume she is safe; please vote for her anyway.

    Until next week, I’ll be there!

    Nathan was sooooo robbed….Ryan has about as much personality as a sponge.

    This season has sucked, crap choreography, too many scheduling changes, not as much diverse routines (too many waltz)

    Where are the following styles?

    Mambo, West Coast Swing, Krump, More Bollywood (When Lil C choreographed that was hip hop, not Krump)

    And too much favouritism of certain dancers (Jakob, Russell – Yes they are good but let us formulate our own opinions about them rather than plugging them every single week)

    I knew that one day these girls would perform in this show, well I was hoping haha! I hope they do like a remix and do like a different dance in the middle, I’m getting sick of the same “point-clap-clap-clap” routine.

    Anyways I haven’t watched SYTYCD this season because my damn DirectTV doesn’t record all the episodes for some reason. I’ll figure it out. Thanks for having Wonder Girls on your show <3

    I love the show and the dancers are amazing! I just have one suggestion though. It would be good to feature dances from around the world during the results show or even as one of the dance routines. I suggest doing a dance number from the Middle East like a Muslim dance. I have never seen one done in the show. Thank you and more power!

    Who the hell is voting for Legacy and Ryan instead of Nathan?
    and who is voting for Ashleigh instead of Kathryn and Noelle?
    Oviously the people voting arent real dancers and have no clue as to what a good dancer is.
    Nathan and Noelle were the most versatile dancers on the show this season.
    Season 6 is terrible. Terrible choreography, terrible results, and EXTREMELY biased judging.
    It’s just ridiculous.

    It’s too bad Noelle and Nathan left just as they were coming into their own. I think a part of Nathan’s problem was that he was trying too hard to be something he was not — too cool, too humble, too emotional and it did not appear sincere. On yesterday’s results show his reactions appeared genuine for the first time and his solo was great…should have stayed true to himself all along.
    Which reminds me: I really wish they kept the drama ON the stage. It’s really ridiculous to have dancers’ parents compete for the best self-serving sob story. They should not have a speaking part at all. I am so tired of Ashleigh’s parasite melodrama. Previously, when I thought she actually had some life-threatening illness, I was annoyed with the redundant mentions but cut her some slack. But a parasite? Good grief, I hope this does not inspire other dancers to share their stories of Flu or a bad episode of diarrhea to solicit votes.

    On a good note, I am glad all the couples performed two numbers — one fast/funny and one serious. That displays their abilities much better. That group that performed on the results show was great.

    I’ve even told my husband that this is what I wanted for Christmas each year. We, debate that it’s because of “Copy Writing” issue’s..

    It would be nice to have such a item. I’m wondering if its, “Copy Writing” issue’s.. Because, you could have a forturn in sales..

    after the music and dance ended, for a second i forgot what i was actually doing! the second reaction for another few seconds was like ‘who the hell stopped the music and dance’. totally agree with judges, the dance & the music was captivating and hypnotizing. btw, i had to find the video & saw it like 50 times ;)

    btw, where is brandon, danny, cedrik, joshua … what are they doing … would love to know about them.

First by going on tour with the Jonas Brothers and earning the No. 76 position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for “Nobody,” and now being able to perform on a huge spot on prime time television, whatever they’ve been doing to promote themselves here is sure working.
