Mary Had A - Erica Bernardi

[10shutterbug]

I thought the song was distracting. VERY distracting with all the auto-tune and bad singing. BUT the dancing was beautiful.

[Kelissa44]

@10shutterbug it wasn't bad singing. It's called minor chords and in this case used for effect-the mood change

[123dancefreaks]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! this touches me every time i watch it! i am also a dancer and this made me want to redo my solo and start over ! great work!

[muhrayhuskin]

[dancerbrooke143]

amazingg , i love how emotional the song is and it told a great story ! very good (: i loved it

[MonicaAlliHfan]

very amazing, i never realized the story, very touching

[tmills1890]

The song was sung by one of the girls moms friends cause mary is eerricca's mom and mary had cancer and died. obviously u can tell dat by the song lyrics. but she is AMAZINGGGG!!!!

[kirliacupcakes]

so this song/dance was actually true for erica????

[dancingsumi07]

That is not how it went? You dont know what your talking about really? The song was sung by miss mandys (the choreographer) person she hires to sing songs. The soong was written by miss mandy, its about miss mandys mom (terry schulke) cuz she really did get breast cancer, but she didnt die. So yeah. it has nothing to do with ericas mom!

[dancingsumi07]

NO!!! I dance at JPD. Miss Mandy (choregrapher) wrote the song and hired someone to sing it. Its about her life, cuz terry schulke (her mom) got breast cancer when miss mandy was little. But luckily miss terry didnt die :) but yeah. it has nothing to do w/ ericas mom!

[skdancer0205]

amazing dance! except the song scares me

[peaceloveurmom]

[thebeaverlover]

[xbelatrixx3]

it takes an athlete to dance but an artist to be a dancer and erica bernardi is an artist. her technique is perfect her face is calm but emotional and her body is graceful and strong all at once. im a dancer at cpda and we all loooovve her!

AMAZING TURNS! :)

[bswgirl101]

Who lit that melodee14 tampon on fire jeeze

haha i think Erica bernardi is an amazing dancer

plus this was years ago and i love it!

my favorite part is the last marie died

[melodee14]

First of all I wasn't commenting on Erica...I think she's an amazing and beautiful dancer. I was yelling at BanannaPeel323 who was talking smack about her because he kept saying that she's not even a good dancer and putting her down when he obviously was lying about his own success...so please read the comment completely before you talk about other ppl that actually agree with you

[StarfireDancer01]

on her turn at the end, was she supposed to change her spot? because it did.

[danzerforlife35]

ya she was supposed to.

that was incredible

[DANCiiNxJENNA]

for your turns you need to know where you are spotting. because it looks like your head is just doing its own thing. other than that it was very good. nice leg extensions.

[lynnandjensbabe]

she was supposed to change her spot... well thats what "danzerforlife35" said. but idk personally.

[dancerLG]

Good turns and motions but I do Not like this song..sry.

[DDSroxmysoxoff]

OMG.... your turns are AMAZING!!

[dancefalloutboydance]

YOUR a spazz

but!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU HAVE AMAZING EXTENSION!

[sxclilcowgirl]

The people commenting this obviously don't understand that the movenment is ment to be stiff and sudden to emphasie the context of the song...

[sytucdone]

You are a stunning dancer...wow..its unique to see a girl with this much talent and style.its so sad to see these jealous little girls comments instead of taking the mature approach to this level of greatness!!! I know enough about dance to know when someone is this incredible!!!

[beachbunny177]

the dancin was ok, a lil stiff. and you hav a unique dancin style....u hav to try the song werewolf-cocorosie...it would fit ur style cause this song made u look like u were on crack

[Jessyann1985]

The first time I heard this song and saw this dance I was a little freaked out.. I just came back to watch again and cried.. its VERY powerful. The dancer is AMAZING she has SO much control and passion!!

[lycheenboba]

one of my favorite dances

the control is out of this world

[balletchick9088]

blkbarb, why are you making fun of the song? your not even paying attention to the dance!

[blkbarb]

this song had me laughing my ass off!

[appelsinpiken]

this turns are absolutely stunning!

[dirtydanca1]

Wow she is amazing, flexible!

But quite wierd

[taken4everx3]

holy crap this girl is AMAZING!!

[awwkitty88]

[xjosiebeanx]

I think Just Plain Dancin' recorded it for the dance.

[summerray2010]

oookay

[elitedancer07]

also that part where mary died was absolutely amazing.

[elitedancer07]

:50-1:10 is the most amazing part of the dance. great emotion in this one.

[loveme4me009]

[dancerharmony]

[o0oitskarr]

omg the song is so depressing...i would just bust out crying during the dance!

[dancer311087]

I think her turns are perfect, and her lines too..but she seems to be too crazy

[111495]

r u freakin crazy she is amazing

[VCanadian]

Everything about this solo was beautiful. I started to cry when I was watching. I was diagnosed with cancer myself in September, and her emotion throughout the dance..wow. This actually inspires me to fight the illness. Great job sweetie!

Jaylen

[anthoniie92]

omg that song makes me wanna kill myself dancing is good thought!

[dncer8811]

Who sings this song?

[Infamous2000]

omg, don't listen to "lamerain" shes lame. :)

great job

[toddy2hotty19]

amazing but im gonna have nightmares

[emijean16]

your an amazing dancer... don't listen to those other people

[lossdanccerui]

shes really great in this and her turns are so controled!!! i love it!

[franmariawright]

does any1 know where this song is from? wb xxx

[alexxooxxoo]

your a great dancer,

but uhm that song creeped me out.

[lamerain]

Weird,bad dancing, wrong lyrics, should be illegal!

[taylorthigpen]

fucking asshole her mom obvisouly died and dancing was her way of interpeting it

[lamerain]

that is the stupidest thing ever I mean its a kids nursery ryhme and it wasn't like that when I was a kid. Its also awful dancing. great way to CREEP ME OUT!!!!!

[loserkatieluvers128]

ok that is not cool lamerain. post some of your dances in response to this then! erica rox

[1bunhead2]

well it wasnt what i was expecting! i was excited to see a lyrical dance that was to a kids nursery ryme, to lighten the mood of lyrical, but then it went all dark... so amazing though! great dancer... yeah!

[andreaxlolx]

The whole thing is really weird, but she's a really good dancer.

[falcner]

LOVE IT! I love the interpretation of the music, I love the cheorgraphy. You have great control movement and turns.  The only thing you would need to work on is loose arms in between movements.

[princesaregeton]

creepy.

but what kind of dance is this?

[Phantomlover1302]

lyrical and a little modern i think...i love this dance the control is just wow! the song is a little weird but its different and i love it!

[tiinydanc3r]

this is really creative

she has great control, flexibilty, strength and extension, her pirouettes are amazing too

[dancingincouture398]

it was sorta creepy, but this girl is amazing so who cares?

[MILEYMONTANAx]

I LOVE THIS. wow it's so good. everyone's saying the song was stupid, but i actually thought it was very creative and she pulled it off amazingly.

[kellsterxoxo]

i love this dance!!!

its soooo controlled

[tara7989]

i love the song!!!!! and you are amazing dancer!!!

[kcobb232]

youre tricks are amazing .. you turn soooo fast!!!

but the song was just .. ew

[dansenchic316]

i cant believe no one likes this song... i love it!! great routine!! it was different and not what your used to seeing so it was refreshing. good job!

[twocrimsonroses]

im sorry but that song was horrible. it ruined the whole dance. the dancing was amazing. the music was not. it was laughable rather than touching.

mary was my mother? i was the little lamb? im sorry its just odd.

[choochiutrain]

this dance is soooo awesome. its like, the epitome of creative choreography. i watch it sooo often and feel inspired... and i dont think shes smiling when the song goes "then one day mary died"-- its more like a grimace or like wincing. i dont know you, erica, but YOURE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! and the song goes off-key intentionally. its supposed to sound eerie.

[d0a0n0c0e0r]

turns and jumps are amazing! i thought the song was a bit creepy at first, but when i listen to the whole thing..it made scense. the only bad part, though, is in her expressions. the song was saying that this persons mother died of cancer, and she's smiling all happy like. great dancer, though

[Kelissa44]

A sad but touching song. Anyone who's ahd cancer touch their life feels pretty much the way she interpreted the feeling in dance. I loved it.

[hpbprincess286]

i think this is a little weird for my taste but really good. if any1 wuz listening to the lyrics of this song it was kinda creepy, especially towards the end..

[wellwutcanisay]

this has to be the best coreography i have EVER seen .. the song was sad and she showed so much emotion .. WOW ..

this was awesome

[Dancefromyourheart]

This is a very sad song :( AMAZING DANCE THO!

[lilsaunds]

how old is erica??

[danzerforlife35]

shes 15 but in this she was 14

[murfdizzz]

whoever says she sucks, you guys dont know what your talking about.

[bobbylove28]

yeah she will definetely always be my favorite.

she inspires me to keep dancing :)

[ruhalu]

this girl is an AMAZING dancer! she is like my new dance inspiration

[furbilicious14]

WARDROBE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH IT JUST LOOKS BAD FOR THE DANCE CAN YOU SPELL TASTELESS?????!!!

the dance was fantastic but the first part looked as if you had overdosed on anti depressents and smoked cough drops. but all in all it was astronomicly good.

[DaLiion]

Absolutely Amazing!! Best youth dancer I've seen ON HERE!!

[thisairispoison]

I loved this. and yes, the song was creepy, but everytime I hear mary had a little lamb, I will think of your dance. Excellent technique. I loved every bit of this dance, xox.

[MathsWifey4Lifey]

I really really loved this piece

[rizzo1114]

Really great dance.

song.. a bit creepy,

but cool.

excellent pirouettes.

[Cheddar323]

wtf this is fucking weird

[camicamicam173]

why did you have to say that

[Cheddar323]

because the music man it is just so weird her dancing is cool but the music just makes this damm F U C K I N G W E I R D

[chinalily17]

wow, beautiful dancer, beautiful technique, great emotion- i loved everything except for the song just because i personally find it quite creepy and not particularily pleasant to listen to- great job though, it's nice to see that neither technique nor performance or emotion were sacrificed

[xXWereInHeavenXx]

Wo Your Beautiful And So Is Your Dancing!

[matahah]

I keep watching this over and over. Beautiful job.

[jpdforlife09]

Well im erica and i would just like to thank all of the people saying good things about me. I really appreciate all of you. You guys are so sweet. Except for BanannaPeel323. You arent very nice. Dont leave ugly comments like that. I would also like to thank the people who were sticking up for me.

Love Erica

[dancerbabe07]

omg Erica!! your my favorite dancer ever. your so good. good job on all of you dances...some people are so mean and say bad things which is stupid cuz theres nothing bad at all about your dancing!!

[ohsnap529]

You are really an amazing dancer. You have great extensions and alot of control to be able to turn and stop on a dime like that. And in my opinion, you great performance quality cause you were really able to match the lyrics and emotion of the song, it looked natural and beautiful.

Also, no matter what some people were saying, I really like the song alot. Its unqiue and so is the technqiue.

Who sings that song?

[summerlovex33]

1st off, bannapeel shut up.

and for the dancer, erica. you are beyond amazing and have such outstanding technique and i would kill too be able to turn and stop so peacefully and beautifully as you do. amazing job and keep it up

[JacMichelle]

Breathtaking turns! She has so much control! I love her style and emotion, too.

[kmccabe630]

i love this dance and the song and the emotion and everything is great. but just to say it. I bet banana peel's first comment was just trying to prove that she is better than this dancer just because she knows what the term spotting means. and now all this titlist crap... i bet she probably doesnt even get solos and second, being only 13, its probably a lie that she even competes

[BanannaPeel323]

I could really care less if you don't beleive me. I have had a lot of solos. And I have competed since I was 8. And you can be as young as 7 to compete for your information!!!

[frankieexlovexmehh]

no you don't

i competed in four and under when i was three thank you very much.

[liljuliet17]

is ok.. i think she is going 2 fast for the song ?

[SearraPettit]

that was very good! forget the song and the routine but think of how she did that! for the dance... she did very well!

[danzerforlife35]

ha her technique is decent? try amazing. i seriously dout you could turn like that. and shes wonderful to watch. her style is beautiful.

[ericaaudrashex]

haha i have to agree with the person below me her technique is decent but watching her dance isnt very enjoyable because it doesnt look natural.

[BanannaPeel323]

I am not her I am no where or close to as bad as her. And yes I have to say I do brag. And yes this girl isnt good. And yes I am good. For I just got my 8th title the other day at Nationals. And I mean 8 this year. Not my whole time dancing because I can't count all of those.

[dancesisilove]

WOW! There is something called humility, and i really think you should try practicing it. Im sure you are a very talented dancer but it is rude to brag about it. I know for a fact that even though erica is probably better than you are she would never sit and boast about it. Who cares how well you can dance, try working on your personality and attitude!

[loserkatieluvers128]

ok banana peel! u are straight up rude. 4 all we know u may be some 18-20 year old who has more experience than erica. like she said, dont leave mean comment.s

[lorenzomom]

you ppl are weird.... this girl is amazing!!!!!!!!! and she can probably turn better than all of us..... lol

the most pirouettes i can do is 4!! :))) w.e... she is da bomb at turning and i dont even kno the girl, but i saw her in competition a few weeks ago in VeGaS!!!

GO dt!!!!

[KTcalder]

this dance is brilliant!!!

[dancingincouture398]

shes so good but i sorta hate the song and dance

[gogosweetie]

How dare u!!!
