the backbend to the floor at 0:25 is really hard and she made it look effortless. not really a big fan of her, but this solo was exquisite and was a pleasure to watch
wow, if you look at :25 - :27 as she is walking on the top side of her toes. That's crazy to do on a hard floor! :) This music is gorgeous and so is this dance. She is simply amazing!!
@Tihbialdunav Where do you live, because if this is what you consider fat, then the dancers from your country should not be allowed to do lifts, spins, splits, kicks or dance on hard surfaces to prevent them from snapping in half. Being skinny DOES NOT make you healthy or "graceful" are you kidding???? I hope you never have a daughter or become a teacher or have any opportunity to influence young people's self images.
@tihbialdunav the healthy body fat percentage is 25-10 she is well within her limits she's built with muscle she is not fat regardless of whether or not she is American she is not fat she's been lifted hundreds of times and they can do that because she is not fat
Melanie; not only has incredible technique as well as flexibility. But! She also brings emotion and incredible power to her dancing. Every move she makes, from start to finish, has importance.
& she is not fat! This girl is pure muscle, just look at how incredibly built her thighs and calves are.
She is such a beautiful dancer and you can tell she dances from her heart, which is where the dance should come from. I am so happy she won, yes I would've been just as equally happy with Sasha winning too, because Sasha is a strong dancer, but Melanie is a brilliant dancer. Much love baby girl, you're going to go far.
Dance isn't about doing tricks, it's about conveying a message. Melanie puts so much emotion into her pieces I can't help but just become engrossed in her dancing. It's absolutely beautiful and she completely deserved her win.
And honestly, Melanie is NOT fat. That is all muscle-- which is a THOUSAND times healthier than being a stick (this will become evident when the stick-girl gets osteoporosis 25 years before Melanie even gets a bruise).
@Tihbialdunav You think that skinny child playing with sticks is more graceful than Melanie? I felt absolutely no emotion watching her dance. It was dry and boring. I was only interested in seeing if she'd catch her sticks. If I wanted that I'd go to the circus.
Melanie on the other hand... I can't STOP watching her. Amazing.
Also, your inflammatory comment about Americans just displays your ignorance. We probably have the largest diversity of people. Try looking outside of your tiny bubble.
The very beginning when she has tears and the subtle wave speaks so much louder than any words! You can tell she was waving to her dad. So beautiful....

@SmilesForMusic , watch rhythmic gymnastics to see real grace . She is fat. But hey, she is American, where almost everyone is overweight. WATCH real grace:
Oh wow you are so stupid for callin gher fat. She Is normal not like a twig. It takes an idiot to say something so absurd. She is no where near over weight. Her body type is the type of a true dancer. I don't want to see a walking skeleton try to dance like the people in the video you used as an example. That is nasty and sad. It's called anorexia. This is TRUE grace. Not annoying twigs doing boring routines with a few crappy tricks.

@Elonwye , I know most Americans who are overweight think they look normal. A perfect body doesn't have so much fat on it. Again, she needs to lose 20 lbs to qualify to dance. Otherwise, she is beautiful.
@Tihbialdunav She Is not overweight at all. That is called HEALTHY you must live in a horrible place since you are saying such things. The body isnt suppost to be all skin and bones. And you say qualify to dance? She won so you think you can dance! You wouldnt be able to do that if you tried. If she is so "fat" as you say then she wouldn't be permited to be on the show. Super skinny girls are NOT attractive. They look like there about to die. Whatever im dont with your nonesense.
@Tihbialdunav She has an athletes body, she is gorgeous, fit and there isn't an ounce of fat on her. Perhaps you need either A: Glasses B: A serious attitude adjustment or C: All of the above. I vote for C.
@Tihbialdunav where is this fat on her body that you speak of? that girl is solid MUSCLE. this isn't the ballet world, it's contemporary...you don't have to be emaciated.
@Elonwye , I know most Americans who are overweight think they look normal. A perfect body doesn't have so much fat on it. Again, she needs to lose 20 lbs to qualify to dance. Otherwise, she is beautiful. Just too fat.
@Tihbialdunav Its just skin and bones. Melanie isn't fat. Nor overweight... I'm unsure where you think she needs 20 pounds to qualify to dance.. She's had a highly successful career thus far and even pre-SYTYCD. The link you posted was of a woman who is on a STRICT diet that's borderline unheathy. I am an American who is skinny (almost as skinny as the woman in the link you posted.) AND a dancer and I do not think Melanie Moore is fat. If you don't believe me, check my videos.
Even though I'm a dancer, I would never be able to reach that technical & flexibility level. However, I'm also into theater, so every time she creates a character, it inspires me & I hope to draw the audience's attention that way when I perform. I think that was one of the main reasons why she won. Even though she was a favorite & wasn't quite versatile in styles like hip-hop, her presence was engaging & magical, you just can't get enough of it!
