Fixation - Jeanine Mason (Improv)

[daniihey]

Improv?!!

This is fucking amazing!

I LOVE IT

Beautiful turns!

Don't stop what your doing.

You'll go far

[Balletrina1009]

What I love about it is that she's such an artist, like she doesn't pull 30 tricks in one peice which is really refreshing, she's got pure lines and technique and confidence, doesn't need the fluff :)

[Eungenides]

Her confidence is just amazing.

[GabsAlot829]

how do you know this is improv ? and why was she doing improv at a dance competition ? either way it's flawless.

[dancebird15]

@GabsAlot829 she received a perfect score and she told the announcer at awards that it was improv. lots of dancers improv at competitions.

[tdsdancerx33]

does anyone know how she did at this competition? did she get like a first place platinum ?

[dancebird15]

@tdsdancerx33 she received a perfect score of 300

[127fireflies]

haha 1:40 proves its probably improv and also 0:58 too. haha. But it was great! she lstens to the music which is a wonderful gift..along wiht dancing!!

[teadora98]

@127fireflies people still do that in choreography.

[dancebird15]

@127fireflies how does that prove it's improv? just because she walks around? people do that in choreo.

[84daylight]

WOW!! This is too good for words :) Did she win this?

[SuperDevil4]

@84daylight yes ofc

[xoxocutie44]

who sings this?

[xxdanceroo]

I LOVED when she went behind the curtain. BEAUTIFUL

[oxmichlx0]

wats this song?

[ReubenTheStoner]

that was terrible

[luizarodrigues]

lame music.

[iluvrainydays818]

this is amzinggg! and i want this version of the song lol

[kimberly2172]

did she know what song she was improving to before she did this? jeannine is AMAZINGgGGGg

[DancnGrl090]

@kimberly2172 The song i heard is recorded by one of her friends. So im assuming she knew the song before hand. And im sure it was still improved but she might have had some ideas of things she could do with it,

[miikaaax3]

hold on... did the people of like hall of fame like tell her too improv or did she do it too compete? i'm confused! haha

[dancebird15]

@miikaaax3 she did it to compete.

[laurenann97]

Jeanine Mason is amazing! Btw, what's the name of this song?

[Eungenides]

So amazing. :)

[dancingpixie09]

Wonderful Improv! <3

[Gillie4eva]

i love her soooo much

[whoashaelaa]

It was amazing, but does it annoy anyone else that she never got on the floor? And that she did the same thing for "broken" like, three times? Still. Best dancer alive.

[ShawnKKane]

@whoashaelaa It doesn't annoy me because, in theater and in dance, themes like that are created all the time. It's actually really sophisticated, especially for improv.

[lauralovesJBs]

@whoashaelaa from what i can tell it was the motif she chose to use to portray the message of the song, hence the repetition.

[RachxoJB]

who sang this version?

[091soccergirl]

This is absolutly the best improv I've everseen!

[aleeDances]

I was at that competition and she had obviously heard the song before because her friend recorded it for her so she knew the song but she just went on stage and did improv(: i envy her so bad lol

[ShellSeaable]

awesomeee danceerr! :)

[SLYCoopaEatsChicken]

i dont thhink this is improv

[boommboommpowww]

@SLYCoopaEatsChicken she got a perfect score for this.

[dancebird15]

@SLYCoopaEatsChicken it is most definitely improv. it was announced at awards. i was there.

[xNooshx]

please tell me she won this?

[marissanicole444]

what was this for?

[LauraLAH18]

was she given time to prepare? how long?

she's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[dancebird15]

@LauraLAH18 it was her normal solo except she had no prepared choreo

[tdsdancerx33]

woww great improv! how can she make it that amazing?! i love JEANINE MARIE MASON <3

[Madziar95]

City Of Angels-Iris

[Shibloop]

how old is she in this?

[aleeDances]

@Shibloop she was 18(: it was her last year competing with her studio and competing in general :D what a way to go xD

[nancydarlingg]

Jeanine is still my idol and she will be FOREVER <33

[ChLo0oex]

[kkpea8D]

[IVreelz]

i remember watching this b4 i even knew she was auditioning for the show and now im really humbled to have known of her before she graced the stage:)

[ForeverDC2Dancer]

AMAZING! I love how at the end she goes behind the Hall of Fame curtain thing.

[queenmaddsta]

I actually like refuse to believe this is improv lol. somebody please reply and confirm it? I need to know for sure! She just hits everything way too well to be improv. but of course she's jeanine mason so it's not impossible...

[dancer677]

@queenmaddsta it was definitely improv :)

[queenmaddsta]

thanks for the clarification dancer 677. haha my GOD she is freakin incredible.

[pinkandblackforever]

@queenmaddsta yeah its improv i didnt believe it either but my friend said how would she know so dance like holding onto the stairs? hahaha

[bunnierabbits]

@queenmaddsta it's totally improv. it's well done but pretty terrible and generic.

[bsofresh83]

@bunnierabbits completely agreed. far too much walking around and such.

[sharayahpalmer]

@queenmaddsta I was at this H.O.F it was MOST DEFFF improv i was AMAZEDD

[jenna12382]

so let get this clear, that was improv?

like she made it up on the spot?

yes? no? and yeah she is amazinggg.

[dancebird15]

@jenna12382 yes she made it up as she was going

[lexiec422]

i wish she would have done it to the actual song.... i love tht song so much it gives me chills listening to it...

[Dancer6794]

[jodio1590]

[ilovedance0516]

[duckieluver22]

Was it an improv part of the competition? Or did everyone watching think she choreographed it?

[finngymnast]

I've probably watched this a million times and it never fails to give me chills. <3

[ChelseaLeigh5678]

Jeanine is so amazinginly good ...I just feel like crying every single time. God I love her

[sarahhhbeee]

Gah, this gives me chills! She is so inspirational! I look up to her so much! (:

[imacoolloseryo]

[karmanthax3]

i love herrrrrrr! & omg for an improv shes amazingg

[oOfoggyNmcOo]

ahhh i am so jealous i wish so badly that i could dance like that!

[kfndancer]

the best thing about this is how she used the music to make everything flow. like, the pauses weren't awkward or forced! wow.

[dancerr625]

wow.

she's..beyond amazing.

wow.

[RedzyVernville]

omg...i mean i am good at improve, it's one of my favorite things to do...but jeanine is just absolutely amazing, i would do anything to have her choreograph a dance for me if that is her just improving

[R042983]

I meeeeaan that Improv was better than most Choreo!!!! Jesus Christ some people are just born to do things and she was born to dance. Absolutely amazing...

[balletgirl024]

i was talking to jeanine last night after the concert about this dance

[xtwinklingtoesx5]

omgg omgg !!! i met jeanine too ! what did she say ?!

[balletgirl024]

she said that she wanted to choreograph a solo but instead she just improved the whole thing. and her friend recorded this song for her. :) shes really nice

[xtwinklingtoesx5]

aww ! thats awesome. do you know how old she was during this ?

[balletgirl024]

i think it was earlier this year . like before the summer

[aleeDances]

[BAMitsNatalie]

[daslivi17]

JEANINE IS MY IDOL!!!!!!!!!!!!<3333 everytime i improv i will think about this for inspiration!<33

[XmusicmeisterX]

[mikehoncho73]

SUPERSTAR!!

[lisaburka]

Does anyone know who sings it..I cant find it anywhere

[dredraea]

one of her friends is singing this. it's an orignal recording done on her macbook pro :)

[DanceForLove24]

What's this song?

[cherrytattoo]

the original is Iris, by the Goo Goo dolls, i'm not sure who sings this version

[theblahs]

:58 to 1:10 made me goddamn get all hitched breath. Beautiful.

[poopenstien1]

Dancing is stupid, and improv dancing is for retarded people.

[SarahR1997]

Well! You definitaley have strong opinions!!!

[kmarisms41]

then try it and youll see theres more than meets the eye. because its a hard and u need talent. ur saying that probably because you CANT improv.

[uagroover]

This is so crazy beautiful!!! She totally deserves the title...AMERICA'S FAVORITE DAMCER!!! Best of luck Jeanine!!!

[SarahR1997]

Lol!!! I definitaley love the spelling flub! :)

[uagroover]

Oh Great! Oooops! I totally meant DANCER. Sorry if that came off wrong! lollol

[SarahR1997]

Das ok I just thought it was funny! = P I totally agree though

[mgee007]

what does she spell out, i couldn't work it out. she was my fave!! so glad she won. her solos on sytycd is soo much better than some....

[dramandance07]

Why were they improving at a dance competition? I've been attending dance competitions for 16 years (Hall of Fame for 6) and I've never seen improv as a category? People always prepare routines and then perform them.

[aleeDances]

there's no improv category she just went under 16-18 category and improved(: i was there for that competition and we didn't even know it was improvised until a girl from focal pointe told me(:

[mgee007]

really? that says a lot about her talent.... she's amazing!!!!!

[LittleMissDancer2013]

that was some amazing improv

[ilovedance0516]

i'm so glad she got a perfect score on this improv- jeanine mason's my inspiration:)

[livetodance1995]

me too! jeanine mason's my hero! i want to be just like her

[lilrose297]

bad ass improv! xD

[peaceshellpeace]

0:24 , :47 1:05 1:29 , 1:35 , 1:50 are AMAZING. and she was so cute at 2:27 <3

[bdancer2344]

I LOVE JEANINE! :)

[dAnCeRx09x]

that was IMPROV?!

if it was, it was the best improv i've ever seen in my entire life. it was so entertaining, and the musicality was awesome.

love jeanine! :)

[dss1231]

ohh ha thanks katerspakey

the singer is amazing and obviously her dancing is unbelieveable

[SMiLE01214]

i love the little moments she captures in the music like the little shrug at 1:41 and also at 2:00 which shows thats she really knows her music and she is such a clever dancer..and i'm still in total shock, this is IMPROV?! absolutely astounding <3

[peaceshellpeace]

omg i completely agree wih you!

[katerspakey]

her friend from school recorded this song on her macbook for those of you who were wondering

[danceluvr1000]

so happy she won!!!

[hogwartslady21]

I know this song is called Iris (originally by The Goo Goo Dolls), but who sigs this version?

[mifascione]

tina hanae miller

[dancertab]

Hi, do you know where to find this song? I found it on myspace, but I can't download it there. It isn't on itunes or limewire.

[mifascione]

unfortunately you can't right now:(

[dss1231]

does anyone know whos singing this version of iris?

[doostergo]

Caitlyn & Philip are going on tour because they always need extras in case of injury and with someone like Philip they will probably choreography a great hiphop with him involved

[hldance]

I've been rooting for her since day one. I was beyond thrilled that she won. Yay!!

[yesitssmaddie13]

first of all im so happy she won because shes amazing!

and second... does anyone know the name of that song? haha

[LexBex0608]

She scored a perfect score on this dance.

Ive never heard of anyone else doing that.

EVER.

[dancelife450]

thats possible?

[loveinlive31]

shauna noland did that once..

[oohhholax33]

so so so so happy that she won. and i totally saw this dance a while ago, before the show started! hahah thats funny that im now a huge fan of hers..

[Hollylovestodance]

SO happy she won ! she deserved it!amazing dance, makes me cry. voted, and voted, and voted, and voted (: JEANINE MASON = <3 can't wait to see her on tour!

[dancernerd32]

SOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR HER!!!!!!!!!!! I voted for the full two hrs last night :) I'd like to feel like I contributed lol

[Puppyluv987]

Simply the most deserving person to win. I love Jeanine so much and she amazes me.

[ExAxLxPx12]

i am so happy she won, she deserved it!! a girl really needed to won and she was the best one by far:)

[swong066]

woohoo! she just won. she is very deserving! awesome.

[mandyandmeghan]

SHE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):)

[lareelovesyou]

i like her as a person and a performer but technically brandon was better

[tracetheletters]

it's not about technicality. It's America's *Favorite* Dancer.

She's a dancer. A good one. and she got more votes.

[SexiVirgoGirl]

I agree. Brandon and Jeanine were my favs. I thought Brandon was better and was going to when but I'm glad Jeanine won. All that hard work wasn't for nothing. Atleast the ones that didn't win (i think the top 10) get to go on tour.

[dancerchic29063]

its the top twelve this year i think. but its usually the top ten

[SexiVirgoGirl]

O yeah because Caitlyn and the guy that can like do all those "wiggly" moves (I don't know his name lol) will go on tour with them also but they weren't in the top 10.

[dancerchic29063]

haha ya. was that phillip?

[SexiVirgoGirl]

Yea that was his name. i just couldn't think of it at that moment lol

[mifascione]

askdvasdbhashdaa whattt show were you watching?!!?

[vanaynay93]

lol I can't remember what I said. my comment got blocked :)

I love it, people can't take that someone has a different opinion :)

Immature :)

[ananoo96]

I was dissapointed too.I love her,but kayla was better than her.

[cdc5678ade]

does anyone know what this song is called and who its by???

i am looking for a lyrical solo song, if you have any ideas. but i like this one:))

GO JEANINE!!!!! <3

[WatchMeWatchYYou]

well the original version is called iris and its by the goo goo dolls but i dont know who this is singin..maybe u can just look up iris covers..hope this helps

[xxxfearlessxx]

i think its "iris" by the goo goo dolls...i think someone is singing it live in this video though

[Ashtisdalerox921]

LOVE it! simply amazing!!! vote for her tonight on sytycd so she can be the winner!!!!!

[TwilightKnowItAll01]

That was amazing...

[TweedleDUMB23]

That's some badass improv.

[alarimore23]

God that was impressive improv.

[swong066]

this girl has a great shot at winning, especially if she performs well on the finale (which they are taping today). i have a feeling it'll be between her and brandon for the win!

[dancelvr128]

Jeanine is AWESOME!!!!! I hope to she wins

1.because she is an amazing talented dancer

2.she has a normal body shape

3.she is an inspiration!!!

GO JEANINE!!!!!!!

[TheBigP09]

is she improvizing this?

[erinnkenzie]

oh ok thanks

[Carmelogrl]

jeanine ftw!

vote or die!

[sarahcohen929]

the cover of this song is made by one of jeanine's friends

[erinnkenzie]

do you know who did the cover by any chance?

[bdancer2344]

I LOVE JEANINE!!! :) SHE IS AMAZING! <3

[eddy4848]

what song and what aritist?? lol

i'm loving this song.

[cutevero05]

originally it's by The Goo Goo Dolls and it's called Iris. This woman singing is just doing a cover version. But it is lovely.

[swong066]

I'm also surprised at how humble and genuine she appears to be on the show. She has no idea how good she really is. She brought out the best in Phillip and has only danced in her own style ONCE on the whole show!

[swong066]

Judging by the size of her facebook fan page, and if the top 2 boys (Evan, Brandon) get thrown under the bus next week as I suspect they will, I think she has a good shot at winning! Especially if Mia Michaels give her and Kayla something athletic and show-stopping, similar to S1 girls' routine (Melody, Ashlee)! I love that she has a REAL WOMAN'S BODY! Her solo's are original and always show great musicality. I'm hoping either Jeanine or Brandon wins, they are the most deserving.

[Carmelogrl]

i completely agree. i think that evan probably doesnt have enough to cut it and neither does kayla. and in the top 6 jeanine had the most out of the girl and brandon had the most out of the guys so im anticipating both of them in the top 2 and i want jeanine to win

[MrsNickJonas149]

WOW!! this grl is frickin AMAZIN!!!! i hope she wins!! dang shes got a ton of stage presence and she draws you in!!!
