[Holland1371]

Jacob Karr used to go to my familys dance studio when he was little(:

[TrillianS8]

Ok, petition: I request that all rectangular advertisements at the bottom of the screen, be saved until after the performance, because that mess popping up while a dancer is giving a bangin' performance is annoying and distracting. :(

[misschewah]

Omg!! @ 0:24 was so sick

[fahmiananda]

So Gay!

[CandyDandyProduction]

I met him(:

[GLUTEN88]

LIKE if you know or have seen him before he was on SYTYCD :)

[gymfairy554]

the dislike bar is like a ninja - you know it's there but you just cant see it.

[whataboutredlorry]

He is AMAZING. Beautiful extensions, strength, control... amazing elevation in his leaps He had good 'tricking' and good emotion. :D So beautiful.

[TheStinger1234567]

[tarbyn]

He made that so easy to believe

[AnnaLooful]

[tweedledumable]

[lilmargss17]

[kwvolleyball19]

Elephant in the Room - Richard Walters.

Beautiful performance for a beautiful song.

[sporty656]

[MaddieJayneMusic]

Beautiful :)

Amazing dancer!

[Broadwaydancer666]

[0deer7]

[3xboy3x]

[noglaman]

This dude is amazing!

[LuuAGL]

[onelove0122]

his extentions are phenomenal, and those feet ugh! amazing.

[TheDancerchick251]

adam: ooh my god! couldnt agree more!

[STFUcareface]

i downloaded this song just because of his dancing.

[Dushu]

Am I the only one who could care less about the firebird leap? The front aerial was much more impressive...

[SelaFatale]

His firebird jump was beautifulllll.

[SixLuckyDays]

he is soooooooooooooooo cute in person too!!! <3

[Leshamajigga]

i love how they cut to a COMPLETELY useless shot of Mary's face. she isn't even reacting and there's no change in her expression at all for like those 3 seconds. back to the dance please...and for all we know, we could have missed another brilliant moment like at 0:21 and we'd never know...

[babyuchiha1]

I've done a Solo to this, the song and the choreography is so beautiful .

[LifesBadHabit]

what is this song?? im in love iwth the song and his dancing (:

[babyuchiha1]

@LifesBadHabit Richard Walters - Elephant in the room! :)

[jackaz1991]

I have those shorts!

[noukie2095]

0:21 beautiful!

[AwesomeCelloPrincess]

What I absolutely hate about this dance: It. Ends. I could watch him for hours. . . So beautiful. He makes it look so easy. Disappointing that he lost. Definitely should have won.

[joeyisfunny]

Why is a man dancing like that? WHY?

[applelicious1314]

@joeyisfunny cause he's a dancer?

[breakxXxdance]

thats cool, its mary's face..oh wait, i was watching perfection GET IT AWAY.

[sarahb241]

Mary looks like the cowardly lion haha

[MorganTomazine]

0:20.. his leg went the the highest ive ever seen..

[atrayu90602]

Brillant

[mich3ll3samantha]

Wow. Goosebumps!

[Gamingslave]

can someone explain why on ovation channel when they show these same auditions the songs are different... is this the original or should I trust what i see on tv...

[FatalMars123]

@Gamingslave I was thinking the same thing, because I like the song from the ovation channel, which is why I looked it up, but this song is not it.

[kaymlewis]

@Gamingslave they probably don't have the rights to air the songs

[confidentiallyyme]

Got chills. God he's such a beautiful dancer.

[sienagarrett7]

I just got major butterflies watching him dance. Incredible :)

[RainbowNinja2014]

He's gay.

[whysoadorable97]

firebird leap :o

[esthertan8]

i stopped breathin when he did his frnt aerial... so at ease!!! so flawless... his feet were so light! i din even hear any thud when he landed his every move!!! not 2 4get his amazin firebird leap!!!

[AwesomeCelloPrincess]

Dear God I wish this song and dance would never end, and I could just watch for hours. . . ):')

[zephyr8blue]

one of my favorite auditions of all the seasons.

[kayleydiddyoyo]

I call it a ring leap...not a firebird. But every person to themselves!

[kayleydiddyoyo]

@marius666: at :25 it is called a front arial. And a "firebird" is what he does at :22.

It is also commonly referred to as a "ring leap" and a "tear drop"

[Mrsteddyz]

I assume the firebird leap is at :22? not a dancer;)

[jazzyjuels]

Jakob! <3

[kickassdancer1]

ahmazing firebird :)

[stargonz]

that made me cry

[kat23morgan]

I guess firebird is referring to his, in gymnastics it is called a switch leg leg to a ring leap...He is super high and really flexible..

[grudger62896]

0:25 Whats the thingy Majig tht He did for 00:25

[15luv]

@grudger62896 the thingy majig is called a Front Aerial

I HEART THIS AUDITION SO MUCHO

[marius666]

Can anyone explain to me what a "Firebird" is? Also what is this move called at 00:25?

[dancecrazed2011]

STOP TALKING !!!!

[kristpat1818]

[Lexie2761]

[fobfreako]
