The Meadow

[danceemoms]

i love how perfect she portrays her character.

[sapphire26323]

@danceemoms its so good and omg do you watch dance moms i completly love the show!! and i also love dancing

[Gillie4eva]

she always arches her back

[Danceforeverchica]

one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen(:

[sbsp77]

ohhhhhh my gosh. you are absolutely breath taking. such a strong, graceful, beautiful dancer :)

[cabcallowaygirl]

She kind of looks like a dancing doll with the way she moves.

[Bratney481]

This is the best version of this dance she has ever done, in my opinion :) She obviously improvs some parts, but this one is soooo good!

[aldance519]

Phenominal!



[addykz]

she looks so skinny and dehydrated here..i like her better with a bit more weight like when she was on sytycd

[crayonboxmusic]

1:56

she looks so clumsy, yet graceful. beautiful!! :']

[silasgeraldo]

In 1:00 .... oh God. :')

[0deer7]

yeah its true... melanie and jakob are both utterly sublime!

[YoItsJourdan]

She's the only dancer who can make me feel the emotion and cry my eyes out.

[sggidlyrehc]

I really don't want to bash all the people who find her exquisite, because I really do too, but there is something about bits of this choreography that just doesn't sit with me. I like it but I don't...didn't care for the hand twirls, nor the parts where she seems to "lose control"...? I thought it would be perfection if she replaced those parts of the choreography with the same style she used for the rest of the piece. Then again...haters gonna hate...don't listen to me. :\

[peanutmmss]

it must be a weird experience to have your leg next to your head like that

[dancedancingbiatch1]

HOW IS THIS SONG NOT ON ITUNES?!

I love you melanie <3

[LadyJoJo2]

@dancedancingbiatch1 its actually new moon (the meadow) - part of the new moon soundtrack on iTunes :)

[dancedancingbiatch1]

@LadyJoJo2 It's not exactly the same so I couldn't use it for a creation :(

[pinkdancer17]

[kcarro2]

@vishnuuuu The word on the street is that she will be doing this solo on the SYTYCD tour... :) PS The choreographers are Mel, Katie "Carroll", and "Tonya" Hughes.

[Powerballet98]

[susannuni]

She is the most beautiful dancer I have ever seen, heartbreaking beauty......

[nicolelovesyoulotss]

Flawless.

[Creationofmind]

577 people know what talent is =)

[MARIOLOPEZ26]

cirque du soleil material , or vegas dancer ....else where ? nope...

[GraceeK1]

agreed!!!! Shes superhuman and so connected to the sincerity and passion of her dance....

[ronnievirk]

She won. OMG she won! My role model! LOVE YOU! <3

[BalletFreak1122]

she is so unearthly and just heavenly that i can't even put into words how much i want to dance like her.... she has inspired me to work and to FEEL the dance... I just love her :)

[goodtochange]

Very grateful that this full piece of Melanie's SYTYCD adapted audition performance is available for everyone to enjoy. She moves me with her organic movements and expression of the music. Not a moment is wasted. She is phenomenal.

[jaimeandcarmenshow]

she's perfect! technique. grace. PASSION. intensity. strength. power. the power and strength of a guy dancer, but the grace and beauty of a girl. with the perfect technique to back it all up. she is everything AND MORE than i would ever ask in a dancer..... her and alex wong, my other favorite dancer in the world, need to dance together. they're both perfect. she's the most amazing and perfect dancer, in my opinion<3

[yorchenko14]

Melanie is what beauty, strengh, and elegance looks like. She IS dance.

[Tcotos]

I can be wrong, but I believe it's on one of the Twilight scores (not the soundtracks)

[pointeprincess20]

I swear every time I see her dance I cry.

[manda9176]

juat watching her makes my thighs burn D:

[willlrivera317]

uughhh!!! <3333333333333333333333 i could watch her dance all day long

[myemilrob]

best version of this routine she's done!

[soozy25]

Stunning. So graceful yet so raw. I can't even take it.

[firekitty500]

I expect her to burst wings out of her back and simply fly away. She is too amazing.

[jni221]

of course she did the whole piece on sytycd; they just unfortunately don't show the full thing on tv cause there's just not enough time to do that for everyone. BUT I WISH THEY WOULD. SHE AMAZING.

[hoymaylvp]

her body is too good for clothes. i could see her bra pad.

[Jbear9]

She is amazing and so is her choreographer! 

[Odindrum]

I LOVE HER...

[mischka802088]

She inspired me to learn how to play this song on piano (:

Beautiful performance, and she should win SYTYCD.

[fiveloavestwofishes]

so beautiful it takes my breath away. :)

[jparsons57]

Just the best!

[Cookiemonster0924]

no dislikes! ahhhh she's amazing! :D

[vishnuuuu]

if only there's someway she can do this entire piece on the stage of SYTYCD, in HD with lights and camera angles...sigh...

[backstagecenter]

@iSyluX

watch it again and look at her movements to the song, how effortless and soft yet strong she moves



[dancinchick933]

the sound on my computer doesnt even work and i still watched this whole thing like ".... :O"

[claiireeee15]

wasnt this her audition for sytycd ?? i remember some of it but this is amazing and if she doesnt win this season i will be soo upset

[rinnijful]

watching her dance is like dropping acid. she is unreal.

[misspeachykee2]

how is somebody, that amazing? ive never cried in a dance, this dance just changed that. just magestic.... absolutely majestic

[therandomman2]

I met her in JUMP seattle and when i saw her on SYTYCD i've been cheering for her ever since

[Canallison5678]

it's Alexandre Desplat!(:

not alexander....

[lovelyluuable]

she is THE MOST soulful dancer i have EVER seen:) i am having a hard time believing this is real..it was just too amazing and she literally looks like some kind of gorgeous, fierce-some creature gliding gracefully across the clouds.. GOD, just so phenomenal... that was a LEGIT MASTERPIECE! her dancing just swept me away into a beautiful, enormous, mystical, fantasy..thats the sign of a truly talented dancer:)

[asenseofdance]

wow she's like a female version of Jakob Karr! so incredibly good!

[hopscotchblender]

0:48 and 1:03...INCREDIBLE.

[blt80blt80]

Many movements in this routine remind me of Oksana Baiul's "Dying Swan" choreography for her gold medal figure skating win in 1994. The ending especially, is a near copy.

[GabsAlot829]

even with my previous favorite dancers of so you think you can dance, i have never been emotionally moved by a dancer quite like this one. not only is her technical level through the roof, but just the way she moves her body is breathtaking. i know it seems early to predict a favorite or winner of season 8... but this girl has it in the bag.

[millyjeezay]

@GabsAlot829 DITTO! She's going to win this year...her movement is "not the usual" and you can TELL its a love more than just a show....kudos to this one....shes got it

[lovelyluuable]

@GabsAlot829 strongly AGREE:)

[keemz801]

Anyone else notice how she has since made the movements less birdlike? I like the newer version, the one on SYTYCD. Such grace and maturity.

[dirrtyyd]

She is an amazingly talented dancer!!! Her dancing makes me cry.

[emilyymadison]

flawless technique!!

[MarcoEsteves1990]

WTF??? She´s perfect! So beautiful dancer! OMG!

Georgia's been making alot prodigies lately! (Go Georgia!) :)

[MonkeyBananaz831]

heh i know her

[leolabustro]

Love her so much!!! Her musicality's soooo fantastic! More than that, she mesmerizes the audience by grabbing their emotions all throughout the dance... It's like I'm the only one she dances to. Thank God for her remarkable talent...

[Allexstrasza]

@leolabustro /sigh Her talent has nothing to do with god. It's her hard work and no one else deserves the credit.

[RandomSyd]

She is beautiful. It kind of reminds me of swans, this dance does.

[Completesatori]

I was not surprised, but still psyched she made the top 20!

[RioandtheDucky]

so so so glad she made the top 20. she's my favorite!

[iswhatever]

TOP 20!!

[casualsharpiee]

beautiful! You are a great performer :) Who choreographed this?

[Deymilichaba]

she is awesome!

[2m242m242m24]

Is she single because I intend to marry her, what ever it takes

[kmarisms41]

1:04-1:06 my fave

[paulinelor524]

wow--I'm speechless. so much discipline, practice, and talent. that kind of control is not easily attained! Absolutely breathtaking.

[bdougherty812]

There are so many amazing dancers who have graced the stage of SYTYCD, but i feel like she is one of the very few top notch dancers who actually dances. Who, without grandiose tricks, can move so purely. She has a musicality like none i've ever seen before. She forces you to breathe and move with her, and you can feel your self pulling and retracting with the pace of her dancing. She is truly exquisite

[leolabustro]

@bdougherty812 I totally agree... Hope she makes it all the way to the finale. And hopefully be the winner...

[somedancer23]

what did she place?



[tsmiths78]

i would love to see her and Ida Saki dance together

[shellybean813]

top ten girls material on this seasons sytycd! shes got my vote! INSTANT favorite! :D

[msb41345]

this was AMAZING and everything just flows.......she's like an angel

[qlee17]

i love like NO DISLIKED THIS!!!!!

[ClanbRaH]

i was there for this. she is stunning. i don't see how she doesn't make SYTYCD, let alone WIN IT. she is very deserving. what an artist. LOVE.

[SEFFYSAURUS]

the music and her dance makes me feel like i'm heading to a place of magic! she's like a fairy or pixie coaxing us to follow her

[gumshew2007]

This was much better then the audition of SYTYCD. It was if she were a soaring bird. Don't get me wrong, she did great at SYTYCD but I loved loved this. The music was awsome as well. I hope she makes the show.

[awezomeness2010]

...for some weird reason.. this piece reminds me of anna pavlova's dying swan..something about the way her head tilts.. and the way she arches her back with her arms outstretched.. like at 0:15. I hope she wins, or at least stays on long enough to see some more awesome solos.

[bingganqiqi]

beautiful！！please tell me who is the choreography？？

[milkcasso]

This one was way better than the audition in sytycd, but her audition was in no way far from being beautiful. This one just was more complete, and she held her extensions and moves much more steadily. Her leg at 1:07-1:10 really looked to be grass blown by wind beautifully. Really hope she makes the show.

[cinderPHANTOM]

wow i didnt think it was possible, but she actually made me cry. most beautiful solo ive ever seen in my life.

[cdcotr]

wow! even better than her audition in sytycd

wonder why she changed it a bit? her audition had less "bird-like" motions in it.

beautiful

[razzleshake]

she's amazing, and such an inspiration. i really hope she makes it on the show! i'd love to see more of her dancing ughhh such an wonderful dancer.

[pixelxse]

holy crap! did she choreograph this?? if so that is insane, she is just amazing here

[katem3]

This is insane.

[mssoonermagic]

I've watched alot of greater dancers over the last 19 years my daughters been dancing and competing. Although I have seen quit a few extraordinary dancers, I've never seen one that has captivated me like this girl. She has extraordinary technique, but technique is not the focus here, dance is. She dances with her entire body. This was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

[madelinaballerina95]

When I grow up, I want to be Melanie Moore haha:]

[Kfalcione]

Gorgeous choreography and beautiful dancer. Such an artist. Amazing.

[xfxbxtxlx]

Watched her earlier tonight on SYTYCD. Incredible! I couldn't stop raving about her to my husband!!!!! So unique!

[CaliforniaCarol]

She is amazing. The mustic was perfect for her dance. Does anyone know the name of the song she danced to?? if so please post. I could not take my eyes off her. Best of luck to her in SYTYCD.

[rekupp]

@CaliforniaCarol Alexander Desplat, "The Meadow".

[WHOAitssusan]

@rekupp thank you (:

[charliebergy101239]

@CaliforniaCarol She is totally mesmerizing. Her body control and balance are amazing!

[Narina23]

Breathtaking! I bet she'll make it to the top 12 on SYTYCD.

[mollylovesmakeupxxx]

ahh see performed this at Jump in LA last weekend at the closing show :) It was stunning!

[alexa2271992]

Holy shit.

[phillipsandrew03]

Love this solo, love her.

[eclipsedancer7]

perfect. you can't help but not watch, just beautiful.

[cosadancerboy]

anyone know the name of this song :) and shes amazing and gorgeous

[NickyJ0]

You are an amazing dancer!!

[Aivan160G]

I know her(: She's really sweet. Amazing dancer. And the thing is .... lyrical isnt the only type of dance she's really good at. I think ive seen her be amazing in like every type of dance(: i love that chick!

[TBRADman5459]

the choreographers are Melanie, Katie Carrol, and Tanya Hughes.

[2kdancer]

Wonderful. :) She totally captured the character from the minute she started to the end. She has absolute control of her movements; even when she "wobbles" in 1:56-1:58. The choreography is amazing! Who is the choreographer anyway?

The whole piece is fluid, no stops or pauses. She dances through her whole body, not just her legs or face. This performance is one of the best that has ever been performed...ever! Lovely, lovely, lovely. :)

[cdberkeley]

choreography?

[austXXdinkY]

BEAST.

[ocanada867]

Chills.

[jaybrose]

i just DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OPWdance]

I absolutely LOVE this choreography.

[ctswright]

shes gorgeous...omg so fierce!!!

[fallenxmind]

wow she is mesmerizing..

[Babygurl123456789013]

wow this is just amazing... who is this girl?

[BabyIsGrown]

The fiercest owl I know. Bravo!!

[rxck1]

I saw her in some nycda videos and I wanted to see the whole thing!

Thank you!
