    One of my favorites was the one Mia michaels picked, the contempery routine about his best friend stabbing him in the back. He was so amazing and believable. I could tell he wasn’t just doing the steps, but that he was really emotionally invested in the routine. Another great one from Kent was the contempery peice him and Lauren danced where they kissed. That one felt so real, it brought tears to my eyes. I love kents dancing, personality, and stage presence. I can’t wait to see him in grand prarie.

    Out of the two, my favorite was definitely his contemporary with Lauren. But my all-time favorie Kent routine is his contemporary piece with Neil (both choreographed by Travis Wall, actually). There’s so much honesty in both of these pieces that pulls at my heartstrings… it’s incredible.

    KENT IS AMAZING……….THE WINNER IN MY BOOK!!!!!!! hE DANCES FROM HIS HEART AND SOUL. ALL OF HIS ROUTINES WERE WONDERFUL…ESPECIALLY PAIRED WITH NEIL. I THINK AMERICA GOT IT WRONG…LAUREN WAS GREAT, BUT KENT SHOULD HAVE WON. I WISH HIM ALL THE BEST AND I KNOW WE’LL SEE MORE OF HIM AND ROBERT.

    I loved the contemporary with Lauren, But I also really loved the contemporary by Travis Wall about the two best friends. Really great. Another I loved was his “My First Kiss” Cha-Cha. Very nice.
    I loved Kent and Lauren from the beginning no joke, so i’m glad it came down to them!

    Are you kidding? EVERY Kent Boyd routine was my favorite. The Travis Wall piece I would probably choose, but seriously, that walking Layout in Tyce’s number – Killer. BUT Stacey Tookey’s routine from the Finale that he did was BY FAR the best of the season.

    as much as i love love love the shoeless joe (and just the neil/ kent pairing in general- the contemporary they did with travis to the devotchka song was unfreaking real), there really is something so special about this collide contemporary with lauren :)

    I love so many of Kent’s routines, but I’d have to say that the one with Allison choreographed by Stacey Tookey was my favorite. The piece itself was wonderful, of course, but what really clinched it for me was how in character Kent was, and how emotionally affected he was. I was just so happy for him when Adam Shankman said, “You don’t need this show,” because I agree wholeheartedly. I mean, he’s Kent-freaking-Boyd, after all.

    The Prom one was my fave out of those two…

    Kent was my favorite of the season.. and I love all his stuff so if I had to pick one that was my fave I would have to say:

    My First Kiss with Anya.

    I love that one he was so amazing it it xD

    Definitely the Travis Wall contemporary. Travis is such an amazing choreographer and Kent definitely lived up to that.

    so hard to choose, but even thought I loved the musical theater number I’m going to have to go with Travis’s contemporary piece. They showed such emotion and connection.

    Oh please don’t make me choose! I loved both of these pieces! But I guess if I have to pick one, I pick Travis Wall’s Contemporary piece because Lauren and Kent were perfect together. They are meant to be.

    How it ends, Collide, and (small voice) I kinda liked the jazz with Courtney. I also really liked his hh with comfort. I really liked nearly everything he did with the exception of “My first kiss” and the disco.

    Of these two, I liked the one with Lauren better. But even better than both of these was the other one he did with Neil by Travis (How It Ends). So emotional and real.
