  • Does she have a main channel?

  • Oh. My. Gawsh! She is sooooooo amazing. Like, wow! I love the energy! The emmotion! Its just.... brilliant! Like, wow! Amazing. Just amazing.

  • i like the breathing, reminds me that she's a real person and not a magical fake dancer

  • i don't like how you could hear her breathing..

  • wow. i couldn't look away for even a second

  • Speechless:)

  • Just no words to describe it

  • that was so amazing, not only did she have incredible technique, the emotion she put with it was mesmorising too. and both of those qualities put together is damn hard to find. *ROUND OF APPLAUSE

  • lindo!

  • very heavy on her feet ,

  • Hair defenitly too long (Distracting) and she is way too skinny, it got my attention too much and i lost track of what she was doing, cause i kept thinking "is she sick?" She's got an AMAZING technic but not once i had goosebumps,Shame. Long legs and flexibility isn't all..

    But way to go girl.. great great work.. Btw, i complitely disagree with the mics on the floor.

  • That was beautiful

  • Amazing dancer, talented but I would love to see her do more classical "ballet" so to say. Lyrical styling but with much softer arms and motions, it was very choppy and the arms were very distracting bent at strong angles. Beautiful dancer!

  • 0:24 is very good!

  • she's amazing, but i don't care for the style much. her hair is also very distracting.

  • absolutely breath taking, her movements and expression reflect the song and those emotions to a tee

  • Very beautiful dancing!, why does she have a mic on her though?

  • @LittleE6 there are microphones on the floor of the stage to project sounds from the tap dancers shoes.....she isnt wearing a mic. 

  • @leahbaer11 true! im a dancer and fouettes are really hard

  • @horseluver51000 well its contemporary not lyrical...contemporary has more jagged movements like what she was doing and i personally like it better

  • @ByeHaterz04 Oh okay. That makes sense then, why she was so "rough" with her movements.

  • @ByeHaterz04 The person who uploaded this video said that the routine is lyrical, thats why I called it lyrical. But I can see it being contemperary.

  • I am not a dancer, so I probably don't know what I am talking about, (but I do love lyrical dancing- took classes) but some of these movies look like she is having a exorcism or something. A little to violent for me- I mean, this is an emotional, delicate song, and I wish I could see someone perform it with more sadness and innocence, maybe. It looks like she is angry or crazed or something. Please don't get mad, its just my opinion. Anyone agree? Beautiful girl and dancer, though.

  • @horseluver51000 actually I like those strong movements in contemporary dances.. In this dance I felt unconfortable too, I don't know, the movements sometimes just didn't fit the music. But if you like for some Mia Michaels or Travis Wall's coreographies, you'll see how strong movements can fit perfectly a routine. It all depends on the coreography

  • @vivianmoutinho Yeah, I understand. The person who uploaded this said it was lyrical, so my first thought was that it was too much. I do like the strong movements, but only on the stronger parts of the song, you know? If it is contemperary then I can see why she was so over-the-top. What exactly is the difference between contemp. and lyrical?

  • @horseluver51000 yeah, I totally agree w/ you. And, to be sincere, I have no idea about the difference between lyrical and contemporary

  • @vivianmoutinho Oh, thats okay. Me either haha.

  • Whenever im having a bad dance day, I always go back and watch this video to remind me how beautiful this amazing art is. Thank you.

  • That was really GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ok these people have such poor theater etiquette with their screaming just ruins the piece "go jessica" its not a basketball game its art, major difference. But the peace was really amazing :)

  • Amazing dancer! So much emotion was put into this! However, I didn't really care for the choreography.. especially all the random drops.. but oh well! Your turn sequences were amazing!

  • OMG!!!!!!!!!  AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I cried watching this.

  • @mhsmustang21 I think her hair made it even more powerful and emotional the way it hid her face at moments and moved the more she felt her dance.

  • Also what i like is she still has the beautiful technique and she's not sacraficing that for emotion, like i saw happen with Lauren from SYTYCD.

  • Now this is the kind of lyricals i like to see, and the people who say she has an eating problem are nothing but jealous ass holes who have no life but to bash someone who they don't know.

  • You.Freaking.Beasted.That.Song­.! ^.^

  • wow that was amazing! so much emotion and your flexability is incredible!

    you costume was beautiful!

    i need one similar to this, anyone know anywhere i can get one from or made :) x

  • Wow that was amazing! I just can't stop watching this video. Your emotion is incredible and technique was phenomenal! Man she can turn!

  • beautiful dancer, but not a good dance for this song, and stop smilling! this song is about loosing the love of ur life

  • She`s amazing really it touched me, but she's too skinny it looks sick :S

  • @chlofanged i was thinking the same thing i love the way she dances and the song just not the choreo

  • Dude tie your hair back

  • @itsphoebe The mic is downstage center, so when she was extremely close to it, you could hear her breathing.

  • This is amazing!! =)

    Just wondering though... Does she have a mic on? I feel like I can hear her breathing... haha =)

  • @beautifulelvan uh jelous much??

  • this makes me cry evertime, she is so good, i come back to this video everytime i loose faith in dance, this reminds me of why i started dancing in the first place

  • she looks like a spider... a REALLY pretty spider.. but a spider. :)

  • Hands down she ripped that.. Amazing i feltri every movement

  • i love the emotion she put into this!

  • She is really really really good!

  • so much beautiful emotion put into this...i love it.

  • oh woahh! :D 

  • i love itttt! Its kinda wierd if you listen carfully you can like hear her breathe! haah

  • umm she wasnt dancing much just spinning around

  • @beautifulelvan Just "spinning around"? It's called pirouettes and fouettes.. and especially how many she does and how beautifully, you don't call that dancing? Why don't you try? What she does is extremely hard.

  • favourite choreo to this song evurrrr

  • Comment removed

  • that was sooo good ... what place did she get?

  • its great, gave me goosebumps

  • its great

  • @YourDanceChannel ~

    Did she win?

  • Jazz shoes for a lyrical dance... 

  • @YourDanceChannel how did she place?

  • this is really good i know hot to do the whole dance and i wont to be just lke her!!!!!!!!!!! of corce im a boy so dont get any ideas love you Jessica Richens

  • the turn sequence at 1:35 is just perfection

  • The best part of all the Hall Of Fame videos is that you can hear them breathing, panting, expressing themselves and proving they are leaving every single bit on them on that floor. Its beautiful

  • this is great but she is amazing but this song is not good for her she should of done some thing faster

  • OMG, that was amazing! She gave me chills in the first 10 seconds!

  • I go to school with Jessica, and she's the sweetest girl ever! It makes me so happy how talented she is. : )

  • I love your long legs

  • O.M.G :O inspirational.... you were AMAZING!

  • @YourDanceChannel what version of the song is this and where can I get it?

  • @sld806 its called someone like you by adele, and im pretty sure this is the only version, unless there one i not know about??? o.O

  • @YourDanceChannel can you PLEASE re-upload jessica's dance cyclone?

    i love it and it soooo sad to not see it online anymore!

  • u gooo grrrrll u awsomee

  • her hair should be in a bun

  • She's good but at some parts it looks like she's having a spaz attack on stage

  • Comment removed

  • I've had this song in my head all night and this morning wanted to see someone dance to it. I've been looking for over an hr and you were so great I think I can start my day now.

  • HOLY SHIT THIS GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS.

  • PAUSE @ 0:25

  • @queenoolzy

    because u can see her amazing leg extension :D

  • she has the most beautiful turns, and feet, and legs. :o *jealous*

  • AMAZINGGG<3

    

  • she is 15 years old. wtf is wrong with u ppl judging her body when shes dancing like that?! shes amazing so much emotion and technique

  • she kinda looks like Jan from the brady bunch lol

  • that girl has straight up muscles... no where near anorexic.

  • i like this :)

    heres a little note to you all... dancers burn calories.

    im a dancer. i eat like a grown man. im only 115 pounds.

    so dont get your panties in a bunch over how skinny she is.

  • Um... really? Why is anyone focusing on what her body looks like? Her movement is beautiful. Her soul looks clear. If you are focusing on her body then you missed the beauty and the grace in this piece. SHM some people do not understand the arts at all...

  • She can't be anorexic. A true anorexic would have no energy because a true anorexic doesn't eat or throws up everything he/she eats. She's skinny because of a fast metabolism (genes) and a rigorous training schedule (environment). Dancing requires a ton of energy. You get energy from food. So common sense tells us she doesn't have an eating disorder of any kind.

  • absolutely stunning :)

  • i like it... its interesting and i love her outfit

  • Her dancing was beautiful because she flowed so wonderful it was great

  • she is a beautiful girl and a beautiful dancer. everything about this dance is perfect!

  • she has really long, nice legs! :]

  • I don't know about you guys...OBVIOUSLY she's an amazing dancer...but her hair and the frilly outfit was really distracting for me.

  • @JustRiseAboveItAll personally i'm super jelly of her hair

  • haters need to shut up. She is one of the most beautiful ppl i have seen.

  • they sure had those microphones on...

  • This is crazy good. Sooo much emotion she put into this. And her technique and flexibility is incredible. Ah, the old "She must be anorexic" cry. I see it so much on video's like these. She has a crazy fast metabolism because she's dancing so much and constantly burning calories. You know, there's a difference between "skinny" and "anorexic." She wouldn't be dancing if she was anorexic. Get your facts straight before you judge.

  • @leahbaer11 I agree! but i disagree that you said she wouldn't be dancing if she was anorexic because many dancers have eating disorders, especially in the professional world. It's so sad :[ but enough about that . This girl is just really skinny due to the fact she's in shape, probably has a natural slim body AND she's only 15 for crying out loud! She most likely just went through puberty a few years ago. Geez those people. She's a young girl AND an athlete! she looks fine :]

  • p.s. and her dancing and emotions are so beautiful <3

  • I really don't think I have ever seen a girl this young display such genuine emotion. I'm really impressed.

  • I like when young people dedicate such a

    portion of their lives to self expression.

  • they say she's anorexic because they're fat lol!

  • Beautiful dancer's boddy :) Although I think our camera person is having a little trouble breathing at the end lol!

  • LOL,you guys are mad.Being anorexic will just make you a terrible dancer,and this girl is definitely a good dancer.She is really skinny,but looks closely and you'll see she does have muscle and stuff,and she's not skin and bones.

    Super high metabolism!Lovely dancer^^

  • lo lleva en la sangre es increible

  • I wish i could dance like her. I mean her technique is off the wall, but what i mean is the passion and intensity, it's like she opens her soul when she dances, and it's free. truly magnificent. good work kid

  • she is just amazing ! <3

  • WOW! She is AMAZING!!!

  • this is soooo amazing! You are a beautiful dancer and a beautiful person (whoever said that you're anorexic is just jealous that you're thin and can dance ;) ) You have fantasticccc turns (I practice so hard on turns and I can't ever do them half as well as you) and your face was so expressive and open during it. You are amazing!

  • Its a very beautiful dance and you are EXTREMELY talented!!!!! your facials are amazing and so convincing. I absolutely love you and this dance props to you. the only thing is please tie back your hair! Its distracting. Other than that this is fabulous never stop!

  • Who could dislike this? Love

  • @pinkpunk777 if she were anorexic, she wouldn't have the strength to do all of this. she wouldn't have the muscle or the balance or anything. she would barely be able to walk if she were. maybe you're just one of those people that has to find something negative about someone else because you aren't happy with yourself. which really sucks. sorry you have such a shitty quality.

  • Absolutely beautiful!!!

  • omgoshhhhhhhhhh!!! im obsessed with this dance!!!!! shes amazing! the choreograph is perfect!!

  • One word, AMAZING.

  • Hey i think you are an amazing dancer im from south africa and also a dancer!!! you are truly gifted and you are at a point in dancing that i wanna be in>>.

  • You are absolutely outstanding! Don't let anyone tell you your not! You've the the technique and talent, but you've also got something not many people have, passion. It really shows, and the power, strength and beauty in this dance is just amazing! Don't stop dancing! I didn't want you to get to the end of the song!

  • OMG! She Is AMAAAAAAAAAAZING<3

  • i actually love this!!! reminds me of Doris humphrey, or even Graham infact!! very moving... please watch my video response and let me know what u think :P

  • I hate when people yell out names while the dance is going on. I'd be mad, cause when someone is dancing they are in their moment. Cheering on is supportive but being silent and respecting the dancer on stage is supportive as well. She is really good for her age. She does need to work on being silent on her leap and falls to the ground. Her extensions need to be even longer. She is real tall so you can tell me she isn't fully stretching her feet for the sense of energy throughout the body.

  • i'm not saying she has one. but this is a DANCE video for a reason. on to that. love the song. i like her movements when she is not doing the extensions or the turns. not a lot of dancers look good when they are not doing the tricks.

  • she's a really good dancer. she is on the skinny side but SO WHAT? that could be her natural body no one knows. and she is 15 in this video. she is still growing! what i really don't understand is why it is okay to call someone skinny & anorexic but people don't go commenting on youtube videos of fat people and be like: OMG SHE"S SO FAT. it is equally NOT okay to call someone TOO skinny. even IF she has an eating disorder no one shd be calling her out on it.

  • This is absolutely beautiful, so breathtaking. Every movement is genius.

  • Amazing routine , but i just wish her hair would have been tied back ! a little too distracting

  • love this...only negative for me was the loudness of it....but really beautiful and TRUE performing. none of that fake crap that people try to call performing

  • She is one of the very few dancers that i have seen on here that actually seems as hough she is lost in the music and responding to the words. Lots of dancers have tequnique but few have artistry and this is what makes this girl special :)

  • Wow. What a goregous girl... but more what a goregous dancer! She is so amazing I'm so so so jealous! I can dance... but not like this. She will inspire me when I dance now to truly do it to the best of my ability! Her costume is also so nice - it's very clean and I love the colour!

    If I add - I am naturally thin like her and dance also definitely keeps me fit. So stop with the hating comments everyone, she has an amazing figure - YOU are just JEALOUS!

  • :')

  • this is amazing, but her friends shouting in the background are killing it for me..

  • great dancer, but the whole dance is in stage right.

  • As sweet as it is, its incredible to me that all the yelling does't put her off, it always does to me. Especially for a dance like this, as if she wasn't already fantastic enough.

  • @pinkpunk777 you kno it really bothers me wen someone judges you on ur weight. esspecially wen their just jellous. but wat REALLY pisses me off is wen people think they can kno wen someone is "anorexic" THROUGH A COMPUTER SCREEN

  • god out of all the dancers ive ever seen on youtube she has by far the best turns ive ever seen. how she can control them so well wen shes ending them versus most who fall out of their turns

  • i know right

  • very moving, keep dancing, never stop

  • this is amazing! she is gorgeous!

  • This is soo amazing! Im 15 in a few days and im a dancer aswell! and i can honestly say she is Amazing!!! soo pretty aswell :)

  • omg this is absoutely incredible. i am so speechless also. she is just such a natural and amazing dancer

  • So, speechless I am.

  • lov this dance she is amazing her long legs really help make her extensions look wonderful

  • i wish i was as great of a dancer you are! very good job! you are a beautiful dancer (=

  • You're such a powerful dancer, great job. (: beautiful turns!

  • Ah, she seems like one of those people you would love to hate but can't bc she's nice. Her performance was awesome and I am sooooooooo jealous of her legs! Keep up the good work ^_^

  • i lovelovelove this. her interpretation and raw emotion is what makes is so beautiful...plus it doesn't hurt to have legs that go for miles. beautiful extensions ♥

  • love this. its hard to compare solos vs trios, since you could argue that they are much different just because you can't compare a dance with one person vs three people, but in my humble opinion, this is just as good if not better than the someone like you dance trio. both are phenomenal. great job ♥

  • PHENOMENAL!!! :)

  • beautiful! her hair makes it look so dramatic! wonderful job!

  • I hate it when ppl just randomly yell go so-n-so in the middle of a beautiful dance. It's different though if someone does something impressing.

  • how about we all just enjoy her amazing talent and stop trying to find things wrong...shes amazing. end of story.

  • She's gorgeous!!! Omg amazing

  • Great choreography, great costume, great dancer, WONDERFUL emotion!

  • Just because a dancer is bigger or smaller than the average person doesn't affect the talent they have! I have seen a 195 lbs. girl do a beautiful solo, same with a girl who was 90lbs. sopping wet. The point it, this girl has INCREDIBLE talent and that we shouldn't be focusing on her body, but on how FANTASTIC she is! YOU GO GIRL!

  • this took my breath away

  • I seriously cannot stop watching this video. It's fantastic and she doesn't even do super fancy smancy tricks.

  • this is so amazing, her technique her turns her extentions just everything was so perfect.

  • No one on here has the right to accuse her of being anorexic unless you know her personally because none of you know who she is or what her life Is like. It may just be a high metabolism or something but who knows the only thing you can judge is her dancing. Unless you KNOW HER I would suggest keeping your mouth shut. She is a great dancer and this dance is amazing(: Great emotion and technique!

  • and she is soooooooo graceful and since shes very tall and thin its a lot harder to b graceful. most tall dancer look akward and odd but not jess she knos how to work it!!!

  • @parkerwalter123 omg i am soooooo jellous tht ur her girlfriend and im a girl!!!!!! i so agree with u. i do professional cheerleading and have to eat a lot cuz i burn a lot of calories. she is an amazing dancer and watever u do whether u break up or spend the rest of ur life with her DONT EVER LET HER STOP DANCING

  • Wow. Such great emotion.

  • soo beautiful. im litterally in awe :')

  • i how she put all into this dance and how you could hear her breathingg.

  • I dont think she is that skinny! She is PERFECT! All I have to say is that she is one uhhhh-mazing dancer! She not only connected with the music, she was moving her body with the music and connected to that. Another thing I noticed is she wasnt doing a million and one arco moves, that is what real dancing is<3

  • wow almost 12,000 hits in 9 days. jessica you should be proud

  • this song seems like too mature for her age. It is a great dance to it though I just expected maybe like and 18 to 20 year old dancing to it.

  • Wow her legs are crazy insane long. Beautiful

  • This dance has given me so much inspiration and your lines are gorgeous!!

  • She did really well. Bravo!!
