On Wednesday, four of the most talented dancers from one of the best "So You Think You Can Dance" seasons ever competed for the last time, but this certainly wasn't the best "So You Think You Can Dance" finale ever. While there were four routines (out of the evening's total 10) that I really loved--a jazz number by Melanie and Tadd, Melanie's contemporary with allstar Robert Roldan, Sasha's contemporary with allstar Mark Kanemura, and, most of all, a gorgeous Sasha/Melanie pairing--many other dances just fell flat for me. And some were in genres that producer Nigel Lythgoe had to have known would not be popular with viewers (like disco, cha cha, and...wait for it...GUMBOOT STEPPING).

And it wasn't just me who felt this way. Even Nigel himself was left feeling underwhelmed. During one critique on the live show, he complained, "We've got four brilliant dancers in the finale, and I've got to be honest and say I've been a little disappointed this evening with what the finale is."

Season 6 "So You Think You Dance" darling Mollee Gray was quite a cutie back when she was dancing on TV with the equally babyfaced Nathan Trasoras, but nowadays she's acting like a total badass. Following in the Capezio'd footsteps of other reality dancers who've launched singing careers (Julianne Hough, Mark Ballas, Benji and Lacey Schwimmer, Sandra Colton, Blake McGrath), Mollee has released her own music video, for the single "You Don't Know Anything." And it looks like little Mollee is all grown up.

Granted, the lyrics of the song are a little cheesy and a little too literal. And the choreography and storyline sort of bring to mind '80s-rampage music videos like Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield," Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart," and Scandal's "The Warrior." (This is a good or bad thing, depending on how you feel about early-MTV production values; I totally dig it, albeit slightly ironically.) But Mollee belts out the emo-tinged, Evanescence-meets-Paramore powerhouse

I suppose it's no newsflash or big shocker that "American Idol" diva Pia Toscano looks good in her music video debut, "This Time." She has always been a pretty girl. But...dang. Pia looks REALLY good here.

Although I never found fault with Pia's easy-on-the-ears vocals or easy-on-the-eyes face, I also never quite thought that she came across as a STAR. I always believed something--that elusive "X factor," as Simon Cowell would put it--was just missing with Pia. She always flatlined onstage for me, never really brought the fire. But when I watched her "This Time" video, for the first time, I finally saw the makings of a true pop star. Pia still has a ways to go, but she's made leaps and bounds from her "Idol" days of just planting herself in front of a microphone in a floor-length pageant dress, statue-still except for some occasional awkward arm-flailing.

As Pia frolics on a beach in her new video, sporting mermaid hair, bare legs, kohl-rimmed smoky eyes, and not much else, there's no

I don't know about you, but when I first heard reigning "American Idol" champion Scotty McCreery's debut single, "I Love You This Big," visions of backyard BBQs didn't exactly spring to mind. But apparently that was the vision that director Shane Drake had, as Shane's video for the song--Scotty's first music video, finally out this week--boasts a simple summertime theme, all about family fun in the sun and nothing more.

While I'd expected a more romantic, literal video for this puppy-love ballad, with Scotty serenading a lucky young Southern belle instead of a backyard full of regular folk, in defense of the "I Love You This Big" vid, it's completely age-appropriate, as well as Scotty-appropriate. He is only 17 years old, after all, and while he may have made his first mark on "Idol" singing a sexy song about locking doors and lowering lights, he is quite an innocent (as his cross-kissing reaction to Lady Gaga's scandalous "Idol" mentorship clearly proved).

Though this video may be
