So You Think You Can Dance Top 11: Who's the Top Contender?

So You Think You Can Dance pulled an American Idol-season-eight on us last night, opting to add an extra dancer to its planned contestant count. Television gets magical that way. We're left with a pretty airtight Top 11, one that includes the right amount of contemporary, ballroom, salsa, and various performers who are always ready to cry. But only one can be the favorite going into tonight's first competition round, and we've got his/her emotional performance (You'll notice krump founder Lil' C is weeping here) after the jump.

While Alex Wong and Billy Bell are gyroscopes of balance and precision, the one contestant with both versatile chops and disarming innocence is Kent Boyd. The Wapakoneta, Ohio, native forced Nigel Lythgoe to drive for hours into the rural Midwest to deliver the news of his Top 11 inclusion -- which I already consider a victory. It'd be easy to dismiss Kent as another hopeful "Don't Stop Believin'" montage set in a cornfield, but he's too darn magnetic and skilled. If he can master ballroom choreography, he's in this 'til the bitter end. Weep, little snowman-eyed child, weep!
