So You Think You Can Dance Season 8 Melanie solo Top 6

[jjontheway19]

wow i cant get enough of this dance it was amazing. the look she gives at 0:09 sec is like i am about to f*** y'all up haha. such an intense dance

[MsHawtDancer]

Hands down, this is the BEST solo all season! I'm so glad she won :D

[Sullivanlewis]

Sick!!

[yatnod66]

I thought this season was amazing and had amazing dancers until i saw SYTYCD Canada. I think theres something in the water in Canada.

[orin25]

@yatnod66 tooo bad they cancelled it. :(. Thanx tho we Canadians try. lol

[HartyHar0]

replayreplayreplay

just can't get enough of this solo!

[findmeonthebeach]

@sippso thanks. wow, i could've really payed more attention to the first couple of seconds of the video and seen that. iiiii feel dumb. d: hahaha.

[ariel03love]

um.... HOLY SHIT!!!

[findmeonthebeach]

What song is this?

[sippso]

@findmeonthebeach freestylers feat. belle humbe - cracks (flux pavillion remix)

[DanzzzFreak25]

I can't get enough of this solo...I think I've watched it over 60 times...Melanie, you make me so so proud to be part of the dancing world as well...inspiration at its best!!!! <3<3

[DragonLcver]

Yeah... Um... Yes. Go Melanie. xDD I'm sorry, but wow. When she made that intense face at the camera, when she struck with the beat, just absolutely incredible. It was long before this that she totally deserved to win, this... This was like those couple little wake-up slaps (i should say tackles, kicks and punches) that got rid of any doubt.

[Kirktalley25]

Killed that

[ninaarabesque]

i didnt want it to end

[DragonLcver]

@ninaarabesque You, me, and the judges.

[animefreak655]

this video was the start of my dubstep obsession

[reckonerofchange]

And since I'm on a rant, even FURTHER more was that while I have a double Bachelor's in piano performance and voice performance, and a Master's in Vocal Performance from the New England Conservatory of Music, I was totally ignorant and unaware that the ability to produce emotionally provocative art discriminated upon your opinions and standards.

[reckonerofchange]

Moreover, if you watch her 2010 videos, she fits perfectly into your stereotypical demand of how skinny a dancer should be. So what if she ate the proper amount of calories for an athlete training as much as she had to every week and might have gained a pound or two.

[reckonerofchange]

WTF? I'm pretty sure when human expression of movement was first conceived, no one cared how fat you were. Screw your "European standards." She can move, she has technique like you wouldn't believe, and she is EXPRESSING an art. No one really ever bitches about how ugly Mona Lisa really is.

[mywolf75]

fat or not fat .. she is the best dancer for me :) if you can do half what she did .. then come here and talk .. you trolling here about she is fat .. look at your self first at least she is not stay`n behind a computer screen and judge people she improve her self every day and you just keep stay`n here and talk shit like she will know about you losers ! Go Melanie .. Thumps up for that to make every troll in here get a life ! ahh i think i`m a troll now ! will for melanie i would be a troll !

[leeannder123]

I love how right after the look she gives at 0:08, you can hear the crowd start screaming and not stop :)

[Tihbialdunav]

She is obese to European standarts.

[Tihbialdunav]

She is great, but why so fat? Oh, wait, she is American.

[Bonelocen]

@Tihbialdunav Shhh troll back to the farm!

[Tihbialdunav]

@Bonelocen , go eat cheeseburgers, fatso. And don't forget he fries.

[Bonelocen]

@Tihbialdunav Moscow Calling......dumbass

[Tihbialdunav]

@Bonelocen , you seriously blind then. Since you mentioned Moscow, they won't even let such a fat dancer appear on stage. She is OBESE for a dancer. Watch rhythmic gymnastics, now that is grace.

[Bonelocen]

@Tihbialdunav Sshhh now!

[ForteIIV]

I LOVE the look on her moms face at the end. You could feel the "the proud mommy" moment.

[StarHeartDuo]

##buck ;D

[alexaa215]

i keep watching it and i everytime i forget it ends so early...

[slapmedia]

MORE MORE MORE!!!  :D

[russianmuse1]

that was amazeing and epic and i got chills !!!

[ERiiNLOVESDANCE]

I just got chills!

[TheSimonElk]

Best 30 seconds of dance I've seen in SYTYCD

[380371]

im happy that she was able to do something more hard and edgier than the regular soft ethereal thing she usually does.

[xale1337]

1. ugly titless bitch

2. gay music

3. retarded dance

what tha fuck

[TheNoufM]

@xale1337 you're just jealous. I feel sorry for you.

[xale1337]

@TheNoufM

why should i be jelly

[purpliscious88]

Help! I can't stop watching !!

[chelsearayl]

The best 30 seconds ive ever wasted on youtube.....

[adamjn41]

MELANIE set the standard for ALL future SYTYCD contestants! :) 

[samantharene92]

dubstep and amazing choreography skills. what can be any better than this combination?

[nuaha02]

I love that look at 0:07-0:09 ...classic

[slapmedia]

MELANIE M0:00RE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[marymarbear]

AMAZING!!!!

[mdooms76]

This solo was PHENOMENAL!!!! What stood out about it to me is that it was actually well choreographed even in the short amount of time she had. Most of the solos are 15 seconds of boring twirls, high jumps & leg kicks and a show off of some tricks they can do with no real order or flow. But this was actually a well thought out, step by step mini routine AND it showed her abilities in the meanwhile. LOVED IT!

[NO34ful]

Melanie is AMAZING! I am sooooooooo freakin happy that she won! Omg i was sooo relieved that she won!

[TheCaitlinH]

soooo good. To bad it is so short.

[jessychic1]

I love Sasha but this was one of the best solo's ever!

[NewPositions]

just throwing it out there: BEST SOLO IN SYTYCD HISTORY.

[NO34ful]

@NewPositions Agreed! :) Even Nigel said soo:)

[hannahmozes]

i knew she was going to win after i saw this dance not even watching the rest of the season, she is incredible

[gagalove222]

melanie's grandma is the CUTEST!! :)

[natasharrjon]

HELP! I can't stop watching this over and over and over again. I love you Melanie!!!

[wwwbingcom]

I liked her the whole time but this is the reason I voted for the first time ever. :]

[sagedanceraustralia]

I've watched this like so many times, and i gotta comment again. This is so amazing, the feeling i get when i watch her dance this is brillant. She gives me chills.

[sexyliciousmexican]

Why must people spoil...

[aubs519]

I need to study, BUT I CAN'T STOP WATCHING. She'll be the end of me

[kafode]

ugh i could watch this 100x in a row and not get bored of it -- too short!

[Lar1059]

I voted for her because of this song haha

[coolavione7]

and this why she won

[MrMetthias]

in the famous words of mary murphy; WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[WingDing94]

America's Favorite Dancer is MELANIE!!!

[BRJMK31]

SHE WON! OH MI GOD SHE WON!!! GO MELANIE! YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING YOU EVER GET! BOTH AS A DANCER AND A PERSON. YOU WERE MY FAVORITE ALL ALONG AND YOU ARE

A-SW-E-S-O-M-E!!!

[vikingflower]

BEST SOLO EVER. I knew she was gonna win :)

[natasharrjon]

YEAHHHHHHHHHH MELANIE!!!!!!!

[greengem418]

She is so fierce! She's not only a great technician. but also a great actress - her facial expression, at 0:08 clearly stated, "Don't mess with me, I'll eat you up whole!" She deserves to win.

[ZeDoctor]

Even the dude with no arms gave her a standing ovation

[coffeetea720]

So.... Did anyone else power vote for Melanie last night?

I know I did. ;)

[leeannder123]

I seriously love this solo. One of the best ones I have ever seen! I want her to win!!

[NO34ful]

PLEASE VOTE FOR HER TONIGHT! :)

[cjtffx]

melanie is the shit

[Brittygirl161]

lady gaga should sign her on her tour just like she said. she is not human!!

[sEgeN111]

dat was da shit. ill be shocked if she dont win

[MrsMcBrawny]

@rachelkristiansen Please allow playback on iPhone for this video! I love watching it throughout my day but I can't now :( Please fix it! Thanx

[MrsJasper1]

Her face at 0:08 gets me everytime, this solo is amaizing!

[ravengirlkitkat]

So amazing!!!

[ladyram4]

I wish I could like this 10000000000000000000000 more times!!!

[elcameraconquistador]

It's like the laws of physics ceased to exist for half a minute...unreal.

[elcameraconquistador]

I keep replaying this...I'm in awe. The perfect solo.

[aehsnyl800]

That was probably the best solo I've seen in all 8 seasons, and to think she prepared that back stage right before she did it..... O_O WHAT??? I'll be happy if either she or Marko wins, they both deserve it.

[FreakyGreenCornflake]

i want her ipod. guess she has the best songs on it.

[JJAAJJ2389]

i can't believe she figured that dance out RIGHT before she did it hahah <3333

[gaboy9080]

The Best Solo On So You Think You Can Dance History! !

[StephanieMasonDreams]

OMG this was the SICKEST SOLO ive seen in show history! This girls dancing is INSANE! WOW

[NO34ful]

she is soooooo going to win....... no question. Not Tadd, definetly not Sasha........ Maybe Marko...... but definetly Melanie all the way!

[LittleBrinnieeeeGG]

i love Melanie because for the 30 seconds that she's on stage she makes me forget that So You Think You Can Dance is becoming a cheesy dance show, where there is so much of the same in every contestant and what they do, boring and redundant. She brings some kind of GENUINE PASSION and INTERESTING MOVEMENT!

[musicmama888]

How can someone figure out a solo that ridiculous in a commercial break? It doesn't seem possible.

[emolyemu89]

That look she gives after the shimmy is why I think I'm sooo in love with this solo! It just says that she's serious she's here to win and she's gonna fight for it! It's like she's staring into your soul...

[dancingjul]

Melanie you are such a good dancer!!! If you dont win im going to be sooo upset.

[wwwbingcom]

and I love Melanie's grandmother. She looks like she's loving all this. XD

[wwwbingcom]

howwwwly hell! this is good.

[TheKickasskatie]

unreal...just unreal

[lilmish200]

the simple fact that shes doin a solo to dubstep means she should automatically win

[NewPositions]

@lilmish200 couldn't have put it better myself. Epic.

[sexygal17]

@lilmish200 YES.  win! xoStephy :P

[cchicchs]

One of the top solos ever seen on this show.

[coolavione7]

even nigel said it... the best solo ever

[LATiNAMAMi369]

she has huge legs but amazing! i love the shaking shoulders in the beginning and all the splits with the turns, crazy!! funny how she came up with this during the commercial.. that's a true dancer

[Taylorluva96]

I have never loved a solo more in my ENTIRE LIFE!

[heddabeddaxo]

IM OBSESSED WITH THIS SOLO!!!!!! and the songg haha but if she doesnt win ill def cry. GO MELANIE YOU ARE AMAZINGGGG!!!!!!!!

[Tikka143]

This girl is a BEAST

[priscilla8229]

0:08 killer look! love it!!

[priscilla8229]

her mother must be so proud!!

[nmmoise]

0:27 WTF ?!? Who does that ?!

[aronzitro]

I thought this was one of the best solos I've see on SYTYCD, iwas grateful that I was using my DVR because I was able to re-play it. And now it's on YouTube so that I can share it with my friends. Melanie is my favorite not to take anything away from Sasha who is my second favorit

[alshaya30GODisGood]

that was the sickest solo ever ! Even tho i love Sasha!!!

[fabittyfab]

I love her even more for not picking another sappy song!

[ParkLeeNa]

she's so freaking strong, she has no physical limit to her dance.

[malloy92]

love love lovee this solo

[calypsoAsteroid]

that was too short! i want more!

[Betamax00]

Melanie gurl , thst solo waz da sh*t! I'd pay top $ to see it live!

[Betamax00]

@Betamax00 THAT SOLO.

[zaprct]

I've noticed whenever dubstep is being used it brings out a great performance and a great reaction from the audience. It makes me wonder why dubstep hasn't gone mainstream outside of the UK yet.

[Jesusfreak5071]

Sickest 30 second solo ever! And the fact that she made it up at the last minute just makes it even more awesome! God has given Melanie such an incredible gift to dance the way she does... I absolutely love the amount of emotion she shows during each of her routines! And she is so humble and I love her personality! I really think that she's going to win SYTYCD this season and she definitely deserves to win!

[MeggyRomes]

you know its a good routine when it ends wayyyyy too soon

[Epuffs100]

The beginning part is so sick! I watch it over and over agin!

[Lovedance4ever1]

best solo i have ever seen in my life! Melanie you are my inspiration

[MrTriangleOffense]

best solo evah

[guziol1973]

best solo i've seen. good job Melanie!

[sexygal17]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!

[khaccu]

Amaze, amaze, amazzinnnggg. She was an early fave of mine and I'm glad to see she's still in the competition. Usually I have fave in Vega week who dont make it so far but she has!

[aMixtureofEverything]

...super shimmie

[angelallano17]

She has to win, she is the best

[niknik2737]

if she doesnt win there is something seriously wrong with this world

[luvt0smilealot]

She's a great dancer and has a wonderful personality!!!!! Ahhh I really hope people understand this and vote for her as the winner and not let her fall in the "second place but should have one" rut!!

[yasbaravarian]

MELANIE WILL WIN SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!!!

[Insolubilia78]

What a PERFORMER!!! Getting goosebumps just watching her dance this solo. Simply an exquisite performance Melanie!!!

[LadyBat2527]

I haven't seen a solo this mesmerizing since Brandon (season 5), top 4 I think was when he did it

Love love love Melanie

[ayoemcee]

i know a lot of people say melanie is overrated, but who cares? that's not the point, the point is she's AMAZING. who knows if she's better than sasha or not, just don't hate, appreciate!!

[TaylorHansen1034]

This made me cry.

[hoopla444]

SHE. IS. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god, I can't stop watching this!!! SO freakin' amazing!!!!!! Melanie, if you're reading this, I LOVE YOU!!! And I will vote for you like crazy for the finale, because since your first audition, you have been the clear winner. You are an inspiration. <3

[gleeksrthebest]

hard to belive she came up with it minutes before she had to perform it rite?

[dreamflyerxD]

one of the BEST solo's in this season!!

[dancer4921]

She deffinately deserves to win!!!!!!!! I love her! and she is very inspiring! :) Amazing!

[mattyg55]

the look she gives is fckn amazing

[Soni082010]

i love how she used dubstep. thats so different <3

[ReesesPieces77]

Melanie for the win. The best dancer ever on SYTYCD.

[go4dance]

she made this up right before she went on! shes so beast!!

[Sereneblaze]

I love Melanie, I'm gonna be online right when after Weds show and not only vote for Melanie, but harass as many people I know to vote for her as well

[rfkoch23]

The best dancer rarely wins. So I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

[MissyVbabe]

@rfkoch23 Exactly. Brandon was the best in season 5. Jeanine was good but..come on.

[musiqueviolonsarayou]

@MissyVbabe Brandon was a better technician, but the winner need a big  personnality that people can relate to

[MissyVbabe]

@musiqueviolonsarayou I do agree with you. It's America's favorite dancer not BEST dancer. That's the reason why I wouldn't be surprised if Sasha won over her, although I do love Melanie's personality as well, very quirky.

[rfkoch23]

@MissyVbabe and Travis....and Danny....and Jakob Karr....it always seems like the best dancer gets 2nd.

[JoJoJaggy]

Omg this was BEAST! My fav from day 1 can't wait to see her in the finally and most likely win this season!

[MizzyKidd]

Omg this was BEAST! My fav from day 1 can't wait to see her in the finally and most likely win this season

[musicmama888]

WHO FRICKIN' DISLIKED THIS?!?!?!?!?!

[dancer4921]

@musicmama888 I know! What an idiot! They clearly have problems ..

[AbbyShaffer]

the look on her mother and grandmother's faces are SO SWEET.

[goldenarm80]

On of the hottest solos i ever seen in my life, the girl is a beast! Passion and power behind her moves.

[MamaDrea09]

@2011ChangeTheWorld AGREED!

[HattanH89]

OMG!!



[Phishy90]

That faintest hint of a smile she gives at the beginning is just like, "oh yeah, I'm about to blow you away."

[KamariaC2011]

I hope this shows all the non believers what they need to believe in

[johnnyfingaz]

This girl is out of control. That look she gives right before she breaks it made me think I was watching an academy award winning actor.

[dancetranceswag]

i <3 this!

[ForeverrNatalie]

i got chills watching this. and to think that she made that up in like, 3 minutes. wow. her and tadd are my absolute favorites

[Karnalsyn]

Melanie, Tadd, Marko, Sasha....all 4 of them are fuckin beasts. I had a hard time picking a winner until this solo hit. But OMG this girl is so pro, win or not (and I hope she wins), this girl has a promising career ahead of her.

She is simply mesmeric to watch on stage.

[xfilia0bj]

Best solo in the history of SYTYCD. Between Melanie and Sasha I'm having the greatest time watching this season!

[jesriljr]

was watching this with my girlfriend bored out of my mind and then 0.0 iss dubstep i love that song!!!

[SugarafieD]

If she doesn't win, I will go out and murder everyone who didn't vote for her.

[RoflWafffles]

Dubstep on SYTYCD. Yesssssssssssssssssss

[sayrahbish]

Anyone else notice the little smirk she gives right before 0:10? She's so great.
