Compiled with the help of ripslip/Katie (Mark's Purple Marker)

ON SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE SEASON 4:

TOP 20 PERFORMANCE SHOW:


  [After Mark performs Contemporary]
Nigel: "I thought you both danced it brilliantly. I hope Mia was happy with you, Mark, because I certainly was."

Mary: "You know Mark, you are just one wild and crazy unique dude to this competition, that’s for sure. We need uniqueness, and I think it will help you along the way to be different, and I love that about you. You took all of those lifts, Mark, and there was quite a few, the timing is so difficult on those, but you guys made them look effortless. It was just as if you’ve done them for years. It was just like throwing around a little powder ball up there. It was unbelievable. I can’t believe you did that. If you had a hat, I’d take it off to you."

Dan: "You tweaked and you freaked and you did everything that could have been asked of you. I think it was amazing. Great job."

TOP 18 PERFORMANCE SHOW:


  [After Mark performs the Argentine Tango]
Mia: "I am so in love with you two. I LOVE you guys! You are like the most perfect and odd couple ever. You represent quirkiness. And I adore you guys beyond…it was fantastical."

Mary: "You know what I loved about that? Everything. Mark it was SO believeable. You just look like a movie star tonight. You have just emerged outside of that quirky type of dancing that you do so famously, but you’ve taken on the whole characterization of the tango and you got it! The presence was right. Looking down your nose that way. I mean from the very first stance it was right on point!"

Nigel: "Mark, I agree with Mary, you handled it beautifully. Mark, terrific! Good job."

TOP 16 PERFORMANCE SHOW:


  [After Mark performs Hip Hop]
Nigel: "I thought you were excellent. It was absolutely brilliantly danced."

Mary: "I HAVE TO AGREE! WHAT CAN I SAY I LOVED IT!! I really believed the struggle that was going on up there on stage. And you guys brought it to life. You guys were hard hitting, you were smooth when you needed to be, you were harsh when you needed to be, you were synchronized when you needed to be. I loved it. I loved the passion. I loved it. Congratulations."

Adam: "Umm YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAH YEAH THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!! That was awesome! You guys put life into it. You had it in your eyes, I saw it in your eyes. You guys are the couple to beat."

Tabitha and Napoleon: "You look like you just love to dance."

Mary: "You guys pulled it off, yes you did. It was elegant and classy. Mark, I mean come on! Mr. Elegant, Mr. Suave with your hair back like that! And your technique was pretty good too! You held your carriage real well, I’m very proud of you tonight. I was entertained!"

Mary: "This was another rocket fast number and this one worked for me!! Man oh man some of the under arm turns that you did you were right there leading her, there was a lot of advanced [??] Not to mention the lifts and the tricks and that ending lift BAM! You just nailed it so you know you dance with such power and strength and your just there as a partner which is just absolutely wonderful for Chelsie!!"

Mia: "That routine was smoking hot I thought it was really really danced well. You are one of those dancers, you are more than a dancer you're a star! You're an actor and you take every character that's given to you and you OWN it. Great performance!"

  [After Mark performs Broadway]
Nigel: "I just came back from Vegas, it was 110 Degrees in Vegas but it wasn't anywhere near as hot as that routine was tonight!! Wow!! Goodness me. Terrific routine, well danced, great you brought the audience to life they suddenly woke up and cheered --- Great entertainment!"

Mary: "Whew was it sultry, sexy, bluesy? YES IT WAS!!!! YES IT WAS!!!! [Chelsie--] you just knew Mark would be there every step of the way for you and yes he was. Congratulations!"

Lil C: "Fun routine, I think you guys tried to attack it. I thought you guys nailed a lot of the stunts, great character! Mark you're always there. I love how you jump in-- you try to embody it!!!"

Mary: "Mark I'm going to give you kudos because you were there!!!"

Nigel: "You didn't give up, you didn't let the routine defeat you!"

Mary: "You guys did a great job, all the synchronization was really terrific! Mark a great job in this I wasn't quite expecting that from you but I think you nailed it tonight!"

Toni: "I loved this routine, it was great! I thought the opening was so fabulous, I thought the way you guys were rooted in the music, you were rooted in the beat, it was really joyful and terrific. Hip hop really has to have that groove and I think you guys really got that together and it was just a great routine!"

Cat: Give me my kiss!

  [After Mark performs Fox Trot]
Toni: "The jazz part was really good you're lines are good! The power and the technique behind it is extremely difficult!"

Adam: "I don't even know how America is going to vote cause right now the Top 6 is so strong. Every dance matters a lot and this was a good one for you -- this was REALLY beautiful! Mark I actually think that your rise and fall on the waltz was the best that any guy has done so far this season!! You guys were just gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful performance and America is going to love that so congratulations!"

Mary: "That routine just seemed to float across the floor, the lifts seemed effortless and that has to do with both of you putting it together. Mark I feel that you have really been growing every single week and I just really see you coming alive week after week to another level and this number did it for me tonight!!"

Nigel: "It was romantic and it was beautifully romantic, it was danced well it was choreographed brilliantly. You've started the evening really well-- Congratulations!"

Nigel: "I totally agree with that [Mary]! Mark, anybody that's seen your Bohemian Rhapsody, knows what a unique style you have and as soon as I saw you come forward like this I thought Oh here we go- it really suited you!! The pair of you together on this routine was absolutely one of the highlights of the night there's no doubt about it!"

TOP 4 FINALE RESULTS SHOW:


Lil C: "First off this show is like a prestigous museum that features the most immaculate portraits to ever be painted on the dance floor and my particular favorite piece of art showcases the relationship between the mind, the art, and the dance floor and that routine is Bleeding Love done by Mark & Chelsie-- I loved that routine! One of my favorites. A lot of people don't understand that instead of dancing from your heart, you have to dance through your heart! You gotta do it like that!"

Adam: "A really cool thing happened this season, we got to meet our new choreographer Sonya and she did a piece called The Garden. This shook up the show!! It was absolutely a beautiful new flavor in the show!! I loved how quirky, and Mark came SOOO alive!!!!!!!"
