Adam B. Vary Entertainment Weekly Since so much of the show was made up of repeat performances, I'm not sure what else I have to say about last night's finale episode other than it was a fabulous evening for Jeanine [Mason] and Brandon [Bryant]. Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Genevieve Koski AV Club I also personally find SYTYCD [So You Think You Can Dance] infinitely more interesting than American Idol due to its practice of making the contestants dance in wildly different genres, often ones they have no experience in. Rated: B- Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Kelly West CinemaBlend Jeanine Mason is this season's winner of So You Think You Can Dance. While I believe it was much deserved, I doubt anyone will be forgetting Brandon [Bryant], Kayla [Radomski] or Evan [Kasprzak] anytime soon. Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
