yeah, this wasn't the song she auditioned with. they dubbed another song over it. it happens sometimes on sytycd, when they can't get the rights to play to song on tv. they did the same thing with caroline last season.
i think her facial expressions work for this routine which was suppose to be danced to the song Werewolf by cocorosie but since they couldn't get the rights to the song for TV they dubbed it with santagold. I'm just sayin' because if you search for her Werewolf routine, it's the same, just this was edited like crazy.
This girl is amazing. I think Melanie is one of the most gifted dancers SYTYCD Canada has ever seen. Her technique, musicality, movement quality and artistry far surpasses any of the contestants this season. No wonder her fellow top 20 dancers are in awe of her and for good reason. It's unfortunate that the truly brilliant dancers never win this show. The finale has definitely suffered a huge loss without her there! It's a shame, really.
I love this audition so much... She wasn't afraid to be a little different then what you typically see from contemporary dancers that favor slow music and what not, and you could tell that she was going full out to impress the judges with her dancing and her performance. Love love LOVE this girl.
loved the audittion. i love dancing like this, and no it didnt properly display her talents as a contemporary dancer however what she did was soo good
She is my #1 fav girl right now. I also think she has a good chance of winning as long as the teen girls don't keep voting for the "cute boy" (i.e. Cody). I think she is one of the strongest female dancers this season.
I like how I got minus points on my critique. I guess people can't take criticism. It's not like I said she's horrible people! I just said she needed some polish! Geez! Omgosh.
im no dancer. but, i believe she captured the look she was going for EXTREMELY well. even one of the judges commented on the awkward feeling she gave off.. i dont think she was trying to make the audience feel at ease ... imagine her going for that look with a straight face and soft lines.... i dont know but i honestly think that the opened mouth and edgy lines suits PERFECTLY
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I do like her. I am thinking they must have replaced the music track because the one she uploaded on youtube isn't this song. I'm guessing they didn't get permission for copyright purposes. I liked the performance. The open mouth I'm wondering if that's part of the piece? On the whole I really do like her. I do think that she needs a lot of work on technique - stretch, line, toe points. And I'm wondering if she's just not that flexible?
Technique is important and her flexibility may not be as great as some others', but to get through the show, the ability to learn choreography and pick up other styles quickly is more key than that. And she does seem to have an ability to soar through other styles (particularly hip hop) and maintain her charisma.
great dancer, i like her a lot, but she should think more about her facial expression, she had her mouth open the whole time, XD lol, other then that, i love her!
what's the title of the song?
