[twirlychic]

me encanta esta cancion....!! quien la canta y como se llama??? //// I love this song!!! Who's the author and what's the name of the song?

[gilbertor25]

rules are made to break! thats all i can say...

[danceandconga4life]

MrSalsalawyer, please be more specific about what you mean by "bias". What kind of bias was shown? Bias towards what? Or against what?

[salsaadvocate1]

i agree

[truthbtoldisback]

So everyone stop arguing. The truth is: yes liz and christian did have more than three tricks in the semis and more than 2 eight count in their tornado (3 1/2 to be exact). I know because i was there! and yes she was off time in the finals maybe not the entire time but she did break on 3 and 7 for at least two eight counts. I was there and everybody was talking about it. Like alesandroestilo was saying complete disrespect for those who followed rules and did not make the finals.

[salsaadvocate1]

i agree

FAIRNESS IN SALSA MOVEMENT!

Let us all join the movement towards fairness in the judging during salsa competitions. If you have been subject of bias and unfair scoring express your discontent. Liz and Christian live above the rules and have shown disrespect to all salseros and the event. YES WE CAN stop all this unfair treatment. I DARE YOU TO DELETE THIS COMMENT!

[kbitten]

when you buy a body suit it goes all the way to your legs?? when you start SALSA dancing you learn terms like upper body referring to shoulders and rib cage and lower body to hips etc...that doesnt includ legs..your interpretation is too literal...

[keallan1987]

mmmm me parece muy buen trabajo ..... pero es cierto no cumplieron con las reglas por ejemplo a 2.02 levantaron ambos pies mmm no me parec q hayan hecho exepciones... sincerament el campeonato estuvo malooooooo no me parecio mucho este anio fue muy pero muy malo

[shearenergy]

Bravo-

And again thank you for sharing us, what it means to you in your heart...(Cristan and Liz)

Of...

All the compassion you share with us this very moment.

Escandalo! Scandal!

I think first 3 places in on1 all are good. But if it is true about liz and christian's violaciones in the semifinals this is bad.

Un completo falta de respeto para todos los bailarines que han trabajado duro y han cumplido con las reglas para que los jueces hagan excepciones con ciertos bailarines.

very disrespectful for those dancers who did not make it to the finals and did followed the rules.

Global PROTEST! PROTESTA mundial!

[rowthat]

Instant classic.

[jhoanna6]

[haydeeargentinar]

[salsahook]

[44mariad]

Maria

[gladys21]

Congrats! glad the first place is still in L.A :)

[ruso777777]

it's quite nice the movement is well contrasted between Liz and Cristian, Liz's trademark grace and femininity coupled with ever-present readiness to be led by her authenticly masculine partner. I think its one of those choreographies that best represent the connection between the two opposite sexes it's beautiful.

[vinodvachali]

It was a good dance....

Some dumb counters have posted what they do best, just count...

Its a freaking dance,,,, just go by the beat and happiness of expressing or expressing in happiness.

Have you guys even wondered to consider that there must have been something wrong with your internet connection or ur computer????? go count the error logs u dumb Ar ses .

I liked the dance as it was simple and simply good.

Well done.

[salsahook]

@alesandroestilo the count in this video is PERFECT...what count are you talking about?

[lizlira1]

Liz and Cristian dedicate their WSC 09' win to God because he has been there for them since the day they started dancing. For bookings please go to lizlira(dot)com or email diane(at)lizlira(dot)com.

[djkennyLA]

Felcidades a los dos, excelentes seres humanos e bailarines!

Felicidades! Cristian y liz lira!

[BongoVinero]

I think the right foot left the ground first and then the right followed. Their feet did not leave the ground at the same time. Play it slow and you will see. LOL

[kbitten]

you're right LOL

[BongoVinero]

Love you Ms. Lira! Asi se hace Christian!

[TheSalsasuperstar]

[rumbayc]

Though I didnt mind the 0:53 and 2:03 infractions, I DID mind the timing infraction starting at 2:10. Nice performance overall though.

[molestosa]

Exelent, but did they jump on 2 03?
