Billy Bell & Ade Obayomi - MAD WORLD (with Rehearsal)

[MaggiePie1010]

I always come back to this one. It's the absolute best work from Billy ever!!!

[kelaltieri]

The way Billy reacted when he got the "Contemporary" card was kind of creepy.

[MegaEvilcupcakes]

wow i am in LOVE with this!

[reptileroom2]

billy reminds me of Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory! haha!!

[kelaltieri]

@reptileroom2 *knockknockknock* Penny *knockknockknock* Penny

[JokOpEenStok]

Billy is unreal in this performance!

[LuHeilbron]

"contemporaaaaaaaaaaaaryyyyyyy­yyyyy" "uuuu Good for yooou"

[mmhmm2121]

I can't believe he left the show after this was performance. This was UNREAL.

[eggplantw]

It is the best in the show but why why why? 

[Statystyczny9]

This song is haunting me since I watched "Donnie Darko".

[lisadalia]

Love the way Billy run. *ding ding*

[380371]

i loved how this dance reflected our society

[9xxx9]

BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON! 

[ninaflamada94]

Billy wasn't at all my favorite dancer of the season, but this routine gave me chills... Honestly, one of the best dances ever.

[sbrlexa]

Billy is such a beautiful dancer, I can watch this all day every day and never get tired of it. :)

[reecehatestrolls]

Nigel (: he was never a little boy running around the stage doing devlopes(:

[soleluna404]

producers should have called it 'nigel lithgoes' favourite dancer...

[lulymaha0915]

i watch this over and over again.. i get goose bump each time. love love love Billy Bell

[juniemarie58]

So incredible!

Love, love, love Billy!

[Broadwaydancer666]

Billy is magical in this dance....

[Broadwaydancer666]

Nigel is a closet case....that is why he is so homophobic....

[MaggieLuvsYourButt]

does it matter if billy's gay? no.

Because every gay person i know is awesome.

[0603LeeLee0603]

the quality on this is amazing!

[bambinoitaliano]

Billy Bell is the most beautiful dancer that grace this stage. His solos were amazing to watch. And this routine is one of the many memorable one of any seasons.

[rockntwists]

stacey's choreo is growing on me. loved this routine

[shoelover19]

Did this win any awards? It was absolutely amazing. One of the best ever on the show.

[halfricanstaki]

@shoelover19 it is up for an Emmy!

[0himissalice0]

Billy Bell..? I could tell so much about him, but one word would really describe him: Billy Bell is UNIQUE. He's probably the most powerful, focused and awesome dancer that has ever been on this show. "Win or Lose this competition Billy, you are going to be remembered" Mia. And he is.

[jamie150741]

this is.. ethereal. my god. billy.. the best never win do they?

[dhongigrps]

Billy bell is the best thing happened ever to dance!he is a star no matter what america says and Nigel thinks!he is so focussed and gives his 100% and awesum looking!and all those american chicks like kent?!shame 4 not keeping such a talented dancer on the show after his best performance night!

[RAHULK1812]

Billy , Robert and Lauren deserved to be at the top.

[XOXOROXAS]

I believe that Billy should have won. Well, just my opinion. He is my favorite. He is a wonderful dancer. And I love the song they are dancing to in this. It just makes me happy ^_~

[JujBond]

awww, he didn't deserve to leave!!! :(

[gleeksrthebest]

billy=cutness at 0:04

[gaeadriel]

ade is so handsome and strong and billy bell is just beautiful

[Kennedyrawr123]

My favorite part of this was definitely how the suitcase drop went perfectly with the music. And props to Ade for doing such beautiful dancing in a full business suit.

[stacienumber2iluvu]

Stacy Tookye go this concept from my studio :D We did a Mad world dance with Hobo's and business men.. she was a judge and she said it was a great concept and used it.

[azindn]

Really beautifully danced pas de deux.

[LuKasAV6]

Beautiful, high-quality upload, my friend! Thanks! This was one of my favorite routines from Season 7.

[Nathywatergirl98]

i melt when i see him smile!!! his smile is soo sweet he seems so nice as a person he was my fave i was sad when they let him go!!!!

[KaikiTsuki49]

That was a stunning performance, I never get tired of watching it. The emotions were practically tangible, the dancing was exquisite, the choreography was so intricate, and the stage, the lighting... everything was perfect. Everything.

Billy is an unbelievably amazing dancer, and beyond that, he is a true artist. Nothing but respect for him.

... And, might I add, he's so cute too! Looked like such a cute little boy standing between Ade and Kat. ^.^

[HFeather15]

Out of all the contestants in that season Billy and Alex were my favorites <3 Hope they have successful Careers

[12Alec7]

You guys bagging on Nigel are being extremely immature. Would you have criticized him if the two other judges hadn't stood up? No, you wouldn't. You assume that because they stood, Nigel by principle should as well. That's a crock of horsesh_t. If he didn't feel like standing, I'm glad he didn't. Why do it just for appearances? Clearly, he loved the routine. He just didn't, for whatever reason, decide to stand. Have some respect. He gave a good, solid critique.

[lemianbb]

@12Alec7 I really don't mind if anybody stands up or not, as long as it is from honesty. It's not the point.

I saw some awkward mixed feelings Nigel gave, in the manner like scratching his hands with grin on his face, saying "How is your knee this week?...... " REALLY??? Nigel, It was you who almost condemned Billy's decision not to dance as though he's faking, and taking advantage of resting a week. It haunts me like a nightmare even 10 months after airing.

[greenjinglebean]

Why is everyone hating on Nigel, he complimented Billy...

[lenasage1322]

Billy shoulda won.

[lemianbb]

Nigel, I am sorry that you were a feeble old man, your feet were so numb as well as your heart that you had to hide it in such a clumsy way.

Or, you must have already been dead when you made a nasty remark about Billy's sitting out, that was the most horrible, ugliest moment the show ever had.

Billy Bell, your dancing always gives me some poignant joy deep in my heart.

You are a genuine artist, and the only dancer I want to watch hundreds times and more!!!



[coccicachou]

i think think this is the best contemporary routine of ss7

[gich18nx]

billy is always be my favorite since season 6.. he's genius and very talented.. and nigel's comment is 'really quite briliant'? REALLY NIGEL? CAN'T YOU JUST SAY HE'S BRILIANT? ARE YOU AN ASS OR SOMETHING? it's like he know that billy is a great artist but he don't want to complement him (too much)..

gosh.. really i love billy, i hope i can see his dance.. :* i love you billy <3

[sophiafied]

This is so beautiful it hurts.

[JulzNB8805]

@sophiafied couldnt have said it better..it is brilliant!!!

[bsmiles562]

It takes A LOT of practice to dance blind folded, and be able to know which way you're facing. Truly amazing and unique choreography. I wish it wouldn't end!

[Candiecane908]

Ade reminds me of Nino Brown..lol. Wonderful dance! Why wasn't Nigel effing standing?!!?

[sexymole]

@Candiecane908 cos he's a pompous ass who refuses to acknowledge that Billy is way too brilliant for his show!

[bellolibero]

one person is blind

[myemilrob]

billy when he is dancing blind is absolutely amazing!

[sexymole]

boo to nigel for failing to partake in the standing ovation that this kid deserved!

[MissLizzanna]

the judges pretty much summed it up for me. that's how i feel. love this dance! and the song was awesome too.

[techsupport222]

Nigel is such a yatz.

[techsupport222]

Can't even remember the names of the other contestants, but sure remember Billy Bell.

[Zodikry]

how is this not an emmy winner. 

[soulcornflake1]

@Zodikry Because of when they air the show, any nominations for Emmys don't occur right away. SYTYCD airs from May-August, and the Emmy nominations happen in July for the previous year. So if this piece is nominated you won't hear about it for another few monts.

[FMLdoodez]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[tornie96]

I could watch 2:36 all day.

[dawnovalle]

How on earth do I get video of this entire season, namely everything Billy did? I'm concerned that videos like this will eventually get cut from YouTube, and I'll never be able to see them again. And that would make me so very sad--along with my 5-year old son, who loves to watch Billy dance.

[MissSmileyGurl23]

this always makes me cry...haha no other dancers could have done this!!!!!! none!

[MissSmileyGurl23]

this always makes me cry...haha

[betty1928]

this is one of my favorite pieces of every season. Bill Bell is absolutely breathtaking.

[kindanice101]

@betty1928 .....I totally agree with you. This piece WAS breathtaking. Billy's poignant performance just moved me so much...this piece is just amazing. 

[kingjulianthebold]

billy bell rocks this fucking world, i cant believe he was cut tonight... disappointed in the people who did not vote for him!

[trippzkillss]

& he reminds me of joe jonas,>.^

[trippzkillss]

is he gaay?,<3

[laneylikewhoa]

@trippzkillss Yes.

[ernmills]

this is an amazing piece of art.

[sunnymelon]

Whats that song at the rehearsal part?

[daanncceerr1]

im going to the tour!!

im excited to see all of them but im mostly excited to see him! (x

[laxgirl117]

@daanncceerr1 i saw their tour show today!!!! so amazing! (:

[NeoSerenityMKRE]

This was such an amazing performance! I am still shocked that he didn't make it into the top 3! Loved it!

[kayokada]

i cried when i saw this live

[1lebdiesekunde1]

I completely agree with Mia. I will remember Billy Bell for the rest of my life. I can't say the same thing for many other dancers from So You Think You Can Dance.

[gabrieller51]

i love u billy :) hope to c u soon!

[SilverDreamify]

Wow, I actually had no idea this was about a sharp business man and a homeless man. My interpretation was that Billy was playing a man who acted childish and blind towards to the world around him and Ade played a man who didn't believe in his immature antics and just wanted him to act respectable. But the interpretation doesn't even really matter; Billy is undeniably beautiful.

[D94ab]

Oh why why why did Billy not do anything with Neil :( I would have loved that!

[new735758]

@D94ab I didn't wish to see any guy/guy. dances. But after this and outta your mind, I'm glad they did.

Neil looked big brotherish to Kent so he didn't have to have the strong presence and neither would Billy; Kent and Billy are similar in build; Billy has to have some acrobat/gymnatic moves, so that could've worked.

[cocoNbees]

I LOVE ADE AND BILLY!!!

[AlmaSuperman]

They never praise Adé cause they just expect him to be great.. I find it so sad cause he's just so amazing. Probably one of the best dancers to ever set foot on the stage of So You Think You Can Dance..

[Acentra277]

this was an amazing dance, he shouldn't have been kicked off so early

[new735758]

Stacey is amazing. She, Dee and NappyTabs were very creative this season. I even enjoyed Stacey's mother earth routine. Of course, they benefitted from the AS format.but their choreographies were still great . Too bad they're going back to the old format. Travis and Sonya also had good routines.

[smartiegirl12]

2:36 omg, billy is amazing

[wierdolady444]

This should be noninated and this dance should win. Putting Stacey,Billy,and Ade together was the perfect idea to start with.

[wierdolady444]

I don't know why he got eliminated on his best night!

[claritarejoice]

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever experienced. Bravo to Stacey Tookey.

[ddaalliittaa]

OMG!!!! that was freakin awesome i was so upset that america voted wrong during this week and he had to go, in my opinion it should have bn adechike and jose who was sent home because this was billys night between this and his solo WOW!!!!

PS. was i the only one that noticed stacey tookeys face during mia's speech....

[RiseUp1000]

Adam nailed it when he said, "That was art. That wasn't anything short of art."

[Snapdragon279]

Nigel, stop scratching your hands, get off your butt and applaud a truly great artist. It is evident that this kid will have a hugely successful future, and most likely revolutionize modern dance. We are privileged to watch him dance. Hommage à Billy Bell.

[mickthewack]

@Snapdragon279 :

You might have noticed that Nigel is a rather old fellow. Probably he just had issues with his knee that night :)

[corvus13]

@Snapdragon279 Nigel gets freaked out by effeminate men. His homophobia is soo strange considering how immersed he is in the dance world.

[reneeick]

Billy is an amazing dancer
