Ballet Dancer Daniel Pirie on Britain's Got Talent 2008

[floatingoncloud91]

OMG! 25 PPL, THINK HES GAY. WELL GUESS WHAT? U GUYS CANT DO ANY BETTER? HOW ABOUT TRYING TO DO THE SPLITS IN THE AIR AND ON GROUND OR TRYING TO DRAG BOTH FEET UP WHEN UR ON THE FLOOR. I wont be suprised at all if U couldnt do it, so JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE DANIEL ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOSH u losers.

[livelaughDANCE4EVA]

You gotta give him credit, a 13 year old probablly in middle school who is studying ballet AND he went on public television with it.....do you know how much he probablly has to live with and the names he has probablly been called? Not the best guy dancer but has amazing potential and has a hhuge personality GOOD JOB

[tairanotomomori]

For somebody to be called "a ballet dancer", he/she would have to have been trained classically. Just because somebody does ballet-like moves doesn't mean they are ballet dancers. Besides, I don't think a real ballet dancer should be on this show.

[lovemycatsassy]

Thought it was a girl at first :)

[pajaro64646464]

fuckin gay

[oblivionhellzen]

@pajaro64646464 how is dance gay? hmm? tell me that.

[CatJean15]

Daniel was amazing holy crap wow

[Rarefaction96]

@1:32 "yes I've got a hundred for my exams!!!!" real expressive.

[lkfredd]

I'm impressed that he did fouettes. Most male dancers don't do fouettes.

[lollie87]

@lkfredd uh...yeah they do

[lkfredd]

@lollie87 Hmm.. maybe they do in modern or contemporary dance? Of course male dancers often perform fouette saute or fouette releve. But in contemporary dance fouette en tournant is reserved for female dancers, just like pirouette a la seconde is reserved for male dancers.

[GlidingArt99]

he is really great, but the choreography was bad, his connecting moves were...well there were not much of those... He has amazing potential though, I just didnt like this piece.

[channelclaire]

i have no idea if he is any good, because they keep cutting away from him. I'm not interested in seeing simon cowell's face or a manner from his school. let me watch the boy dance.

[zanneish]

He's got a good start. Just needs more training and there's lots of time for that. He is still very young. I would love to see what he will be able to do in five years. Really disliked the choreography though. It was something that would have looked ok on an 18 year old girl. If we want to keep boys dancing then we have to give them dances that will make them look strong.

[balletandtap1]

Sorry but his fouettes weren't any good. When he did extensions they weren't full splits. I don't think he was good at all. He looks to much like a beginer.

[danceisme29]

i dont like the cheography but that kid has guts!

[OTAKUgirlYUKI]

If dance was any easier it would be called FOOTBALL!

[FergDaddy101]

have this audience never seen a guy dancer before? look, what he did he did very well, but it wasn't that incredible - it was nearly all very simple stuff done very tightly.

[PinkTicklesMe]

@FergDaddy101 He's thirteen! He's not a pro. That was incredible for a thirteen year old. Especially since you can't watch much of the dance, they showed the judges wayyyyy too much.

[TAJIKROCKS]

I tho wou you di' today wous very grea' (british accent)

[Humblebasslines]

Your a faggot

[PinkTicklesMe]

@Humblebasslines And you, sir, obviously have no talents.

[KatslovetoDream]

He has great showmanship but his actual dancing isn't amazing...the choreography wasn't very good for him

[TheJosh1966]

He is so gay

[ballet7up77]

yea okay, he stinks. . . a lot.. sorry daniel.

[RM2GFACE]

He's a master of disguise

[Allastar]

Anyone know the song?

[sammyruo]

@Allastar electricity from billy elliot

[actresstobe1408]

i wonder why they didnt put him through into the live shows :(

[j3anthony03]

you gotta admit Simon's expressions was weird...

[nikolzzzzzzz]

WOW! he is really talented!

Seeing a boy in your age dancing like this it's more than wonderful!!

[RangerDuneGirl]

if i was the judge i would say yes!!!!

[hsells67]

He reminds me of the main male guy in that anime.. xD

So graceful~!

[iAedah]

I think he's talented. He's not no 'gay' he's just doing what he wants to do, and he finds himself more talented in that sort of sport. So stop saying he's gay when he just wants to be himself and do what he wants instead of stupid football and soccer.

[MrSus102]

he and justin biber is the same (two geys)hhhhhhh

[TayTay5289]

idk care what ppl say, he's hot, and very talented. Nobody should be criticizing him, and if u do...yur the fag, not him so yeah..........gett off his video if u dnt like it! Have a Terrible Day kthxbye :)

[USAPropaganda]

fag

[nadiamaria123]

@USAPropaganda Your the fag. He's amazing.

[xXkauqumiiiXx]

it looks realy gay ! xD

[jramz91]

@xXkauqumiiiXx who gives a shit?! dumbass

[xXkauqumiiiXx]

@jramz91 I've never written that ? :DDD

[jramz91]

@xXkauqumiiiXx what?

[LadyTheBubble]

come on, when are you gonna stop with this "every boy who dance ballet is gay" crap?

[USAPropaganda]

@LadyTheBubble fag

[jramz91]

@USAPropaganda fuck you, douche

[hotataho]

gay xD

[cocokitty55]

seems more like drunken fist moves..

[SkitzoSkittles]

Hes hot and my age :)

[pjfitz111]

to all those who say this boy isn't gay,i know him well and he is very gay.

[mahashakty]

I HOPE he's still dancing, because he's very talented!

[tiffanymarum]

i LUV billy elliot,

[Annicathryn]

daniel is my friend from school and is truly inspirational, he is an amazing dancer and has an amazing personality to go with it!

[AthenaJarman]

this is beautiful to see a boy have this much currage:)

[kuddelmuddelworld]

ähmmm....... its a boy?!

yes it is!

its a homesexual boy?!

no,its a realy cool boy!

realy?!

realy!



[mIsSaLeXaLeXi]

he isnt a ballet dancer not even flexible

[mIsSaLeXaLeXi]

he sint a ballet dancer

[123madhavan]

HES GETTING LAID!!!!

[Kombosabo]

billy elliot 2 D:

[xjxcouturexobsessed]

People who make fun of male dancers are losers. Think about who these guy dancers get to spend hours around? Females.

Guys who dance have about 100X more guts and strength than any football player's have.

Anyway this kid is AMAZING :) I am super jealous of his skills :)

[TescoShampoo]

I'm kinda wondering why he doesn't have ballet gear on, or at least ballet shoes...

[otherwheregirl]

@TescoShampoo He may be wearing socks over his shoes. The floor might be to sticky for balet.

[crazybozz1]

You are a good dancer - wish you all luck in future. I also wish to see only you dancing NOT jury and audience! We want to see you. you are great.

[MaggieRosenz]

What a talented wee boy~

[dancering100]

@Supercandrea hahahah your gay mate!!!!!! go fuck yourself in the ass!!

[shootingstar030405]

I love billy Elliot! I love boys who dance their not gay their HOT!

[TheSuperPM]

@shootingstar030405 yes, however i happen to know him in person. he is gay :)

FINITO!

[tonynuch]

@shootingstar030405 then you would love me lol im in the Marine Corps (active duty) and dance as much as possible on the side, my favorite type of dance is ballet...of course :-)

[TheCookieWeird]

@shootingstar030405 Yay, I'm not gay!!!!!!!!!! people think i am... Holy Daniel's good...

[fenerko]

OMG! when i saw the video in the listing i thought its a girl ..

[cranc13]

I hate it when they show the audience or simon or whoever, I want to see him! Not anyone else! Though he's great!

[WolfTheFreak]

Crap !

[PICHIKATO5SHACHIRO55]

ISN'T HE 너무 멋있지 않아?

[7agplace7]

He looks like Billy Elliot. Next to the face that he is dancing to the song "Electricity" from the Broadway Musical version of "Billy Eliot ".

[Nf9456]

**isnt the opposite of ballet. All dance comes from ballet so everything is similar in one way or another. The arms arent "supposed" to look weird. I never even said they looked weird. The problem is that they look weep like he is not using any resistence and that makes him look awkward when he dances.

[Nf9456]

@ludamian1111 it clearly says ballet dancer, he says ballet dancing, bily elliot is about a ballet dancer. Contemporary isni

[ludamian1111]

@Nf9456 nooooooooooooooo, HE says contemporary/ballet, and have u ever SEEN billy elliot? its not ALL ballet! X(

[Nf9456]

@ludamian1111 Yes, i know its not totally ballet, but it is mostly ballet, tap, and some acro. Electrity is clearly originally a ballet dance, other than the flips and stuff. But that's not even the point. the point is that he isn't that good.

[ludamian1111]

@Nf9456 electricity by liam mower has quite a bit of gymnastics in it, so its not TOTAL ballet! and he is TOO pretty darn good. most kids wouldn't be able to do that and/or have the courage to do that, so shut-up! :P

[Nf9456]

@ludamian1111 ... yes? and thats exactly why i said, "except for the flips and stuff." I also speciffically said, "It's not totally ballet." He is alright, but not amazing by any means. Tons of kids can/would do that. I know I personally would. How bout all the kids who actually play Billy Elliot? Honestly, people think so lowly of teens. Not all of us are ridiculously self-concious and terrified not to conform.

[ludamian1111]

@Nf9456 you were commenting on the ballet and its MIXED with the other moves! duh! thats y it looks weird and not really ballet-ish! :P

[ludamian1111]

@Nf9456 you were commenting on the ballet and its MIXED with the other moves! duh! thats y it looks weird and not really ballet-ish! :P

[ashleycarley07]

Hahaha! at 0:51 ....is simon turned on by this?

[supercol1]

Ballet is possibly the most masculine thing in the world.

[eohare1000]

@supercol1 yeah i dont know why people believe it is so feminine

[WolfTheFreak]

He's not gay or anything like that ... But it's just bullshit oO nearly everybody could do that

[ludamian1111]

@WolfTheFreak then post a video of yourself doing that.....then lets see if its easy.... :)

[willywinasd13]

not gay but weird to see a boy doing that

[superacornz]

@willywinasd13

there's nothing wrong with that

[starballerina012]

He should compete in the youth America grande prix it's an international ballet and contemporary competition

[Quintinlicious]

he shouldve added an aerial. i wouldve looked so good

[MrFlores4]

lol he messed up once but the movements were really good and that boy has a lot of courage to do that becaus....well you know how people are when they see ballet dancers who are boys\men

[TheButterflyPenguin]

He looks a lot like a dancer boy I used to know. I don't know if he gave up his dreams, but he left my studio and I don't know where he is now. I think he might have been pressured into quitting because of bullying, but I think it's perfectly fine as a boy to choose dance. Any guy who is willing to put up with teasing and being called gay will get all the girls someday!!! It makes me sad when I think about that boy. Maybe someday he'll realize how amazing his gift is and come back. Just maybe:(

[PaddelIsBitch]

I hate balett -.-

But he was WOW !!!

[applelemonhead3345]

@PaddelIsBitch apparently. and its ballet mrs.bitch

[PaddelIsBitch]

@applelemonhead3345 hey, I know its in my name but could you please stop write just bitch? Write the full name or nothing...and wheres the problem? I mean, I don't have to like ballet or? and I said nothing bad about it...

[applelemonhead3345]

@PaddelIsBitch lol bitch wasn't offending. i didn't feel like calling you paddells. and don't worry about me im just your friendly neighborhood proofreader.

[PaddelIsBitch]

@applelemonhead3345 aha okay...Well, to be true, I understood nothing. I'm german. So what is a proofreader???

[applelemonhead3345]

@PaddelIsBitch jemand, der rechtschreibfehler korrigiert.

[PaddelIsBitch]

@applelemonhead3345 ah okay...Meinst du wegen meinem Namen?

[applelemonhead3345]

@PaddelIsBitch Nein, es einfach vergessen.. lol

[PaddelIsBitch]

@applelemonhead3345 okay?! Du hast mich immerhin schon soweit gebracht das ich vollkommen verwirrt bin...xD

[applelemonhead3345]

@PaddelIsBitch Sorry xD

[PaddelIsBitch]

@applelemonhead3345 passt schon...^^

[ludamian1111]

@PaddelIsBitch wats wrong with ballet?!?!?

[PaddelIsBitch]

@ludamian1111 Nothing...xD I just hate rosa and pink, I hate that Tütü (do you call it so?) and I hate how they dance....but thats just my opinien....

[ludamian1111]

@PaddelIsBitch have you ever tried? WHY do you hate how they dance? plus who cares if a guy does ballet, guys do the lifting and help girls to do multipul spins....its PRETTY hot.....and whats wrong with a tutu, if your a guy you don't even WEAR one....EVER!!!!!!!!!! but do you hate how they dance because they're so graceful? bc if thats why you hate how they dance, then you should've seen me this morning, i almost fell down the stairs at school and i do ballet....

[PaddelIsBitch]

@ludamian1111 Yes I did. And I did'nt like it. I know its hard to do ballet because you need to be strong, you need a good balance and all that staff. Its not a problem that hes a boy. I mean why not! I just don't like it. I don't hate the people who do balett I'm really impressed how hard it is!! But well. Oh tutus look really weird and creepy. I mean...It would look much better if they could where something diffrent. Oh my God...xD I hope you're okay!! how did that happened?!

[ludamian1111]

@PaddelIsBitch wet stairs and trying to run down them is NOT a good combination.... x (

[PaddelIsBitch]

@ludamian1111 Oh I know that.....I was in the hospital because of my leg....(I played basketball) and I also fell down because I can't walk with crutches :D

[ludamian1111]

@PaddelIsBitch yeah..... xD

[PaddelIsBitch]

@ludamian1111 that soooooo horrible :O xD

[ludamian1111]

@PaddelIsBitch i know..... XD

[PaddelIsBitch]

@ludamian1111 Did you ever walk with crutches?! xD

[ludamian1111]

@PaddelIsBitch no, but i've heard that it hurts...and is hard at first..... xD

[PaddelIsBitch]

@ludamian1111 and thats totally true ;) Oh and sorry for my bad english....I'm german xD

[ludamian1111]

@PaddelIsBitch COOL! (about being German) i'm learning German at school and i'm not TOO bad at it....just like your not bad at english.... : D

[PaddelIsBitch]

@ludamian1111 Oh to be true, I hate it. Germany is soooo boring, believe me xD I'm from Wieslet...its a little village with 600 people and a lot of farmers....around us are big mountains and a lot of trees, well I live in the black forest...I saw a german lesson :D Its interesting^^ The funny thing is, that I'm in english match better than in german. I got a 2 in english and a 3 in german. Well thats a B and a C in America I think so ?! ^^

[ludamian1111]

@PaddelIsBitch yes, we learned about it in german class.....pretty interesting.... xD

[PaddelIsBitch]

@ludamian1111 Yeah....:D Its strange for us, we always thought that F is a 5....Because the number beganns with F(ive) :D but wel...:D Oh, today we wrote an english WET...^^ Do you know what WET means?! :)

[ludamian1111]

@PaddelIsBitch i have NO idea! XD

[Nf9456]

He's not that good. I'm surprised he made it. Like he is an okay dancer, but there really isn't anything special about him other than his sad story. 

[ludamian1111]

@Nf9456 can YOU do that? cause if u can THEN that makes sense....but right now, it doesn't

[Nf9456]

@ludamian1111 Yeah easily, and I haven't taken dance. I mean I dont have a perfect split like this kid and I need to work on my extensions a little bit, but this is a pretty easy routine, and he is not very graceful. It is awkward looking and his arms look very weak and sloppy.

[ludamian1111]

@Nf9456 contemporary is SUPPOSED to look weird and stuff, bc its the opposite of ballet.... thats y his arms r like that!

[darkholicz]

its a boy O.O

[lylithxx]

do you know how the song is called `?

[xConorr]

@lylithxx Billy Elliot - Electricity

I think.

[shurabioq]

the song is??

[RanaRene1425]

Belive it or not Free energy is real,But there are very powerfull forces that want to supress the technology,Get a motor that needs no gas or electric input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be the revolution!

[darktigerblader54321]

i know daniel he goes to me school good his hair has changed

[candycaneify]

he stated dancing and he became something else entirely.

[rachelsaysteehee]

a dude ballet dancer . . that is kind of weird .

[kreweetka]

I'm not actually impressed. I've seen kids performing much better. Check out Electricy by some boys from Billy Elliot the Musical and you will see the difference. I mean I respect him for his work, but well...

[DrBarrows]

how did i guess someone had commented "GAY"..

fuck off homophobics..

[americanreject42]

OMG!!!That was so bad!!I mean he has potential, but his turns were off, his a la secondes were horrible and he bent his back leg in a simple leap!!!I can't believe he got through!!

[peetieyou]

@americanreject42

Of course, you are so much better. I'd love to see you do any of what this young kid did.

[americanreject42]

@peetieyou You're obviously not a dancer then and I could do MUCH better.His technique is not great..

[peetieyou]

@americanreject42

Wow, so you are really that great?? I suggest that you do a video showing how MUCH BETTER you are than Daniel and then put it up on YouTube.

[americanreject42]

@peetieyou I never said I was great, but I have been dancing a long time and I know how to assess technique. Also if you reread my original comment I said that he has "potential"..

[twiwonder]

When I saw her face on the small video tab on the left, I thought it was Ashley Greene for a moment. Such a pretty boy ^^

[Xx8902lolxX]

@AnnMilordMusic  electricity by billy elliot

[ingtra1]

I don't get why people thinks this is wrong, personaly I admire boys does this. I admire both boys and girls who doesn't care about what they do, becaus they love to do it.

[pao152]

he cute :3

[axeljordan1]

thats not cool,hes gonna face some problems in future,its kinda gay

[aaronfuegopop]

i hate contemporary ballet

but he has the potential to be good

[olenongelma]

Boy dacning ballet, lol.

[favm360]

People need to grow up. Just because someone dances ballet doesn't mean he is homsexual.

[MysteryxSingerx]

ahaha wow! daniel goes to my dance school (you may or may not believe me but he does!) and he looks soo different now. He's like really tall and his voice has broken loads but his dancing is still unbelievably good!

(:

x

[spikerproxx]

this is a good song for him to dance too. and its great that hes not scared of wat ppl will think of him as a boy ballet dancer

way to go daniel

[lilyloonyluna]

'High Wycombe in Buckingham Buckinghamshire' FAIL.

[chelsearayl]

[danlash656]

[grecogreco4]

i really believe he was better than some who actually went through

[danielmokey]

the next day he goes to school... R.I.P

[jojo92348]

i love him hes amazing

[golden1retriever]

daniel is talented for his age. i think the boy's extraordinarily beautiful, which helps, (the judges and audience love pretty people). i love pretty people XD no one can help it. i do think though, if he was ugly, the judges might not be so fond of him.

[ZenaSapphire]

Whats wrong with his mum :/ :( ?x

[1pakirou1]

As the song is called dancing daniel Pirie, is beautiful?

[jukka4president]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[lilydoraloveshpdrwho]

@jukka4president he is so not he is just a normal 13 yr old boy who wants to dance he has talent

[momo4895]

he's amazing... I do ballet and modern dance.. i've been dancing for 5 years and.... he's great!

[OneClickShow13]

He lives near me and I've seen him at Halloween with his friends at some caves which are near me too!!

[coolpro18]

I like this performance. It was expresivelly amazing, . I hope there'll be more his performances which I'll get to see.

[McDonaldsIsMcCrap]

easy stuff

[whateva9111]

dont let those other jerks giving mean comments get u down

they dont c how well your dancing actually is and people today think that expressing yourself is a wierd but everybody has there own way of expressing there selves

so buzz off all u people giving mean comments if u dont like it dont comment
