Mercy- Bridget Krouse

[AdrianDavis19]

HOLY SHIT. werk.

[girlygirly08]

Thought that she was a black girl oh nooooo she is just stupidly tanned.

[ALaHood95]

That was awesome! You've got great technique! And I loved your hair. It fit the dance. For all the people who don't, I don't think a ballet bun would do this dance any justice, it'd do quite the opposite actually. All of the hair freaks are just people who are trying to look for SOMETHING wrong with this dance when obviously there wasn't much since it got 1st!

[3mm49]

dam shes hot and she can dance.

[Tipgurl11]

wow that was amazing. The ending was just perfect. The whole dance was perfect

[missbrasilia1888]

magnifique



[lilmike32123]

So happy she back to SYTYCD this season! after she was cut last season (S7)

[kyliehamilton89]

shes amazing!! who choreographed this?? I like it!

[bsmiles562]

I loved the dance and your point was clear. Your costume didn't really match your character on the stage, but I loved the costume at the same time lol!!

[ritafgross]

you bridget are an amazingggggggggggggggggg dancer and we would love to have u at xtreme dance academy in mebane n.c.

[gleeker11]

Amazing dancer. I'm younger and she can do better than me. I bet her sister will be just as great!

[drc5354]

Good Job. Many dancers have a hard time showing emotion in their dancing. You do it very well. Good Job.

[charlieM1616]

nevermind

[charlieM1616]

whats the song??!

[EmmaSkies]

@charlieM1616 Mercy On Me - Christina Aguilera

[contractandrelease]

FIERCE!! So friggin refreshing to see a good turner actually PERFORMING, FEELING, MAKING ME BELIEVE HER routine!! 

[writedance]

I find myself avoiding studio dance videos and competitions because it all seems like tricks, technique but no artistry in the dance.

HOWEVER-- this particular videos, this dancer was emotional invested in the piece and kept me engaged the entire time. Yes, the hair was a little distracting at times, but I think it fit well with the piece.

The ending, with the music change and all those turns was so predictable but beautiful to watch. Intense!

[cazMUTT]

amazing ive watched this 10 times :)

love it

costume is stunning

and emotion is awsome

and your turns and backbens while flicking is so good

well deserved

[nejiedlove4ever]

OMG !!!!!!! *- *

[myemilrob]

her hair bugs me lols..but her turns are incredible awesome!

[ilmhbpd]

man i dont care what SYTYCD says shes ammmaazing. she interprets this one perfectly. she made what normally would be sloppy movements look like art!

[BrOoKeLLe1992]

song awesome, dancer gawd i hate her!

[CARellSIDsophAIM]

@BrOoKeLLe1992 um hi....we meet again. my friend stood up to you when you commented on our last video (rock star) and i would like it if u stopped being so mean and rude to dancers you have never even meet before!! Bridget is my role model and friend so i hope she doesn't see this nasty, rude comment, espically since you don't even know her! So please stop hating on Art in Motion, what have they ever done to you?!?!?!!!!

[sophfran12]

@BrOoKeLLe1992 then why are you watching her if you hate her?? you cant hate someone you dont even know!

[mll027]

didnt she try out for SYTYCD season 7

[Humannature18]

@mll027 Yes, she did. Sadly enough, she didn't make it.

[mll027]

@Humannature18 she should have!

[KissTheGirl0]

where do they get their costumes? this one in particular? thanks. (:

[iamastud]

@KissTheGirl0 her mom makes them

[Dancergirl1234567]

You are a good dance and you have GREAT turns and i just love your costumes.

[MissJenMoose]

it looked like someone zapped her alot with a tazer. choreo needs work

[highkick07]

@MissJenMoose obviously her dancing is fine because if you saw she won 1st overall solo

[xKarinax33]

Shew!:D

she just made me wanna become a better dancer.

[mam1290]

this dance is perfect for this song. so much energy and amazing talent!

[kristydancer101]

I got chills!!! I loved it!!!

[AnaMaria18]

You danced this beautifully. I thought this was a good interpretation of the song. If you think about it even thought the girl is asking for mercy and forgiveness at the time she is a sinner, so she would not dance like a saint. Besides the song is by Christina the movement truly matches her voice and song style.

[TheCruelBabe]

cool dance very unique

[Attowone]

Beautiful girl, beautiful song.. but the dance was crazy?

[theeacademyyissfann]

i do think it was a bit to sexual but it was good for the song and she danced it well.

[nchllltmr]

I loooooooooove that costume! beautiful

[dancingdork89]

Hi, I'm jealous

[momentumdance]

i think this solo is a little desperate and self-indulgent, especially considering the song is about asking for mercy and forgiveness. good dancer, lots of emotion and energy.

[DADANIEL100]

i love her and the song is amazing mercy on me, the best.

[LScorpio84]

i do not get why people are so annoyed with her hair. with both solos it works with the image. the dance is so perfect for her and she really digs in to the heart of the movement. I'd like to see all those with all the negative comments do it with this much soul and make it look as good as she does.

God knows I can't and i have been dancing longer than she has....

[RegieCiera5]

she's amazingg but the dance is too manic and spastic. like she's all over the place and u can barely catch her face...

[jecole30]

amazin......her emotion wuz great

[natsprat98]

I LOVE HER TURNS!!!!!!!! they are amazing i hope i can get mine that good. i am working on it. i can do 6.

[taperoo90]

I think this is one of THE most perfect solos I have ever seen! She puts her enitre soul into it and is just perfect! This is such SYTYCD material here! I hope she auditions one day!

[bethybooandmorganpoo]

her face is wat makes th dance. it was stunning

[dancer4lifelovesyou]

Her hair bugged me the whole time lol

[TotalCaptivation]

ok...

only 2 things...

pleaase! change your face around a bit, make it my interesting and "naughty"

secondly, the costume isnt right for that dance, you need something black but simple.

also, if you get a little more flexible... you'll be the perfect dancer!

[rainbowbright45]

all her steps r full out and clean and sharp bridget is gonna go far "go bridget"!!!!

[dancer4255]

she needs a different facial...

[whoashaelaa]

Is this Christina Aguilera?

Sounds like her.

LOVE it.

[lilsisblatt]

it is!!

[69bianca69]

its called feirce... tyra banks would be impressed. she could have played around with the feirce loko, like adding vunerablility and angry, loosing it to the music... dynamis is amazing

[coco7301]

amazing... i loved it.

[jonathansilva88]

served!

[whinnibear23]

a little too jerky.

[melodeeroberts]

daaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmnnnn­nnnnn work that dance!!! this is better than the war one...this fits her perfectly

[morgatronie]

damnnn. amazingg.

[doble1212]

damn

work it

[senseAble]

i love your dancing my friends go to art in motion in chaimpain illinois

[LScorpio84]

you are an amazing dancer and as I did you wil only grow more as a dancer in college. I learned so much more about dance when I was in college

[iamastud]

either mandy or terri shulke did this

[mikabooyamum]

they couldnt have they are the choreographers and owners at just plain dancin.

[iamastud]

and your point?

they can leave their studio and do stuff for other studios.. its called being a choreographer and yes they did do this hey also did some group dances

[LScorpio84]

I agree and disagree with all of these comments....i feel like Bridget is a really amazing dancer...there are things she could do better, going along with the emotion side and not so many showy tricks....but she is good at what she does. people like to try and find flaws in great things, it makes them feel better. If I were Bridget...and I know she is going to college soon at an amazing school for dance...take these notes and use them, it will make you that much more amazing.

[FREShOFFtheDANzFLOOr]

Choreography??? anyone know???

[hosierana0214]

Tricia Timble is the Choreographer. from Art in Motion!

[mam1290]

I absolutely LOVE this dance I watch it over and over! I love the movement I'm not a dancer so I dont know the technicalities of it but I find that all the movement and her expressions are so powerful. I love the fact that her hair is in a ponytail and not a bun, it adds to the power of the dance. Just think the dance wouldn't look as powerful if it was all pulled back and tucked away

[nfcaveman1]

that was so amazing people just wish that they were that good i mean really bravo good emotion too 100% all the way:)

[AJamisse]

very good dancer..

it just missing something....

maybe more facial emotion,...

it didn´t was amazing... it was ok!

I think

[coold00dfasho]

guys, she was on the ball of her foot ONCE. i mean it obviously doesn't happen a lot if she can turn so well...

i really do wonder about the credibility of some of these "critics"

[SilentSinger91]

I have to say you're right, I mean the girl never fully extends her foot... They also have a lot of bent knees in her solo, which sometimes I can't tell if its choreographed or just poor technique...

Gotta give her props though, I wish I could turn like that

[newenergy2010]

as well you should worry, obviously. We are only youtubers. duh.

[coold00dfasho]

i never said that i was worried...

its actually almost the opposite.

[ashdance12118]

her turns are flawless! especially turns in second. love the costume too!

[newenergy2010]

Technical prowess...good, watch dipping too deeply into your turns, and be sure to stay on the ball of your foot.

Artistry/choreo...average (too much spinning, no nuance)

Face... okay (give me more than one emotion)

Energy/Stamina... Amazing. (I'm tired just watching.)

nice

[SilentSinger91]

I agree with you! Its very similar with a lot of her other solos, right down to costume...

Emotion: Definitely agree, there should be ups and downs, right here theres only anger...

But yea, basically, I 100 percent agree with you

[NiicoleBuii]

woww.

is all i can say

:)

[Dancer0526]

The costume is a beautiful colour on her and it just looks stunning on her body.

Shes amazingg!!!!!

[chicadee133]

You r an amazing dancer, dont get me wrong! but you werent turning on the ball of your foot at 1:41, so watch that

[coold00dfasho]

i'm think that she knows to "watch that". pretty sure you dont have to tell her...

[jadexoxodance]

ya i love her face. shes so strong! love it!!

[Guardprncss]

you are a fantastic dancer... work on the face though. Honestly your talent could take you so far but because there's nothing going on in the face.. I don't believe your performance.

[coold00dfasho]

wow thats harsh. especially considering that she put so much into it.

[Chabke14]

I think the choice of the costume could have been a lot better, but the dance o my god, that was more than great!

[rainbowbright45]

i can't get enough of this gurl she is the shit the bomb

[TripplePirouette]

This girl is soooo amazing!! I competed at the Showcase dance comps in Australia (which is like Rainbow Connection in America) and she was there. I saw all of her dances and she was just stunning!! An amazing amazing girl to be honest. She has the emotion and the technique, one of her solos scored 99.8% (or something like that) -it was a Showcase reccord :D

xxx

[ltemerpoc]

that was disgusting at the end... all i got to say is the entire thing was just bananas lol..

[GymnasticsAddict]

What an amazing performance! Her turns are BEAUTIFUL and her emotion is outstanding. I can't get enough of this dancer.

[guccipucci44]

for yur information xxxummyeah BRIDGET went to rainbow connctions which is a regionals competition and won dancer of the year so she went to like a world competition in australia AND GOT 1ST WITH THIS SOLO!! SO WHAT NOW SHE IS AN AWESOME DANCER

[rainbowbright45]

i cant get enough of this gurl shes great wonderful u go gurl

[lauren232323]

this costume has NOTHING to do with the song .

[to0OHannaLeoraO0o]

I completely agree with xxxummyeah.

[xxxummyeah]

I must agree, the hair and costume are too much, a simpler costume and her hair in a bun would have made the costume all about the emotion. She is good, thats all, I have seen better.

I partially have to say the choreography is not to my liking and all the kicking and sprawling out on the floor, the hundreds of turns they just don't do it for me.

Give the emotion without trying to showoff.

[jackayyyyyyy]

xxxummyeah,

okay, i agree and disagree.

a simpler costume may fit the dance better, but i really don't think this one distracts from the message, and her hair is completely fine, her hair in a bun would have taken away the mood of the song. I like the choreography, and she really didnt turn out that much except the sequence at the end, which was fantastic. I think the girl is fantastic.

[CiCiDANCER141]

WOW

[ooliviaaaiscoool]

bad: cut your hair or wear it in a bun; i don't understand the facials along with the costume? i get that it's a sad song, but then why would you wear the hot pink costume?

good: cute costume! lol, amazing dance <33

[acciethasme]

this is one of the best solos i've ever seen...great use of emotion! (wish i'd seen some leaps...) either way it was amazing

[kaulabear]

i love this video i canw atch it all day long and never get sick of it her dancing iss sooooo good

[marisx17]

all i have to say, is i'm glad that dance ended with her laying down. she probably needed it after that AMAZING performance. on a side note, i find it hilarious that people are attempting to find something wrong with this dance. because there isn't.

[fleebub]

Her hair is SO distracting.

[kldancer5678]

are you crazy her hair makes the dance!!

[anyssa1225]

i know! some people juss dont kno a good dancer when they c 1! if n e one was actually listening to the lyrics, the outfit, the hair, and her facial expressions all go together. notto mention that the choreography is increbible! i'd like to see all those haters pound themselves like bridget did!

[lilahnikell]

Beautiful!!! I luv ur costume!

[chamo49ren]

Absolutely stunning :)

[Shlodancer09]

This was awesome! I loved when the song started getting really emotional and then so did you. Absolutely loved it! Ur facials were perfect:)

[issidora3]

speechless

[kutiebesties4life]

woah!

[hoorsesxoxoxoxo]

It was great. But she could have done more turns/leaps. great energy.

The costume and hair were kinda distracting away from the dance.

[kiwi2nv]

she did heaps of turns....too many is too boring i reckon :)

[hoorsesxoxoxoxo]

i know.. but some leaps woulda made it a little more exciting.

[Amandaisherex3]

omg phenominalllll amazing i love it!

[newenergy2010]

weak choreo, great energy.

[whiterosesoftheheart]

I loved this dance. The emotion and the over exagerated movements totally caught my eye. A different costume, something without those bead strings over her abdomen, would have looked so much better, complimented her body more, and most likely add more emotion to the dance.

[anyssa1225]

more?! the girl was pounding the floor and kicking her feet everywhere?! you obviously werent watching the same dance i am bcuz all there was, was emotion! and the costume is gorgeous the way it is.

[guccipucci44]

yay! go bridget she goz to my dance studio and is awsum!!!!!!

[littlefreco9]

THIS IS AMAZING! the costume did kind of draw too much attention to itself but her dancing was definitely awesome! =]

[Gunera89]

omg!

[xxWalkingDisasterxxx]

i loved the energy of this piece but the constume ruined it a bit for me. i think it drew attention away from the emotion in the dance and a simpler costume would have left all the focus on the dance itself. great technique in this piece :)

[zackariie]

she dances like me..

at 1:42..the coupe turns..

she gets so into her emotion the turns get sloppy+) i love it..

[moorockindancer]

omg awesome energy! u were still high on energy even by the end! nice!

[teecurp]

omg i so hate u (i am just jealous)

[peeechie]

what's up with art in motion's new hair do?

btw, this dance kicks ass

[danceislifelove]

shes way too good to make the game of life fair :]

[haleighandcaitlynjp]

okay she is AMAZING!!!!!

but personally the choreography was a little wierd and not enjoyable to watch besides the technique in it.

but she is a really awesome dancer. she has crazy technique

[xxgirleygirl123xx]

what song is this?!

[Humannature18]

Mercy on Me by Christina Aguilera =)

[JustLetGo519]

this girl has stamina and this dance is amazing!

[dancegrl0910]

Beyond AMAZING

[SageLovesu26]

I think she's an amazing dancer but I don't think the choreography matches the song choice at all.

[lauren232323]

fiiiierce (:

[xxgirleygirl123xx]

i saw this one livee. she is and amazzzing dancerrr!! great job!!

[S4DCHICK]

that was amazing. i wish i could dance like that (:

[anyssa1225]

i love it! she has so much energy and it definitely works with this piece!

[kbell645]

yeah the choreography is weird. is it improv?

[jholland252]

Make sure you stay on all five toes while turning at 1:07-1:10!

[roxyjustus]

This is grate, i wish that in another life i could realize a dance like this it's just...PERFECT!

[carcardance]

who did this choreagraphy?

[morgankestner]

Comment on this quote:

" But, the whole thing of stomping the stage and flapping like a chicken just isn't dancing. She is a good jazz dancer but I don't like the routine." * If you understand the influence from the the song, it itself having gospel influences, which is related to African Hymns. Watch African dance videos. When I see this performance, she brings out gospel music, African dance, and Soul music to the piece. Job well done.

[BalletJazzHipHopTap]

Who sings this songs and what is the name of it?

[IAmDaGreatestx]

Mercy on me by Christina Aguilera..

[BalletJazzHipHopTap]

thank you so much for telling me this~

[akdance27]

She's so freaking good..

[treseybaby]

i really love the routine, the energy and costume... A+

but i dont think that the choreo goes very well with the song, the only part where it matches is wen it says "lord have mercy on me."

i think the choreo and the costume is too sexy for this song and could have worked alot better with another song. because the song comes off to be like a pop-christian song..

just my opinion..

[BalletJazzHipHopTap]

Bravo bravo!!!

That was really good!

[DncrBabe5678]

shes amazing. seems like it would be hard to dance with such a long ponytail. her costume is beautiful.

[st3viejo]

i love the way Bridget dances. she treats every in between step just as she would if she was going to do a gr8 jump or turn. sometimes the transition steps are more important than the quadruple pirouetee. Gr8 job!!

[IAmDaGreatestx]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[thatDANCERgirl72]

this is the best dance ive seen! she doesnt just dance, she actually FEELs the movement, and the precisness! well done. an dim only 12 years old and im a dancer. so id know, lmfao! crazy fouttes and pirouttes! im blown away!

[aeishalltheway]

flawless.

her hair really entertains me.

haha

[emilybby146]

I think that she is a really good and talented dancer. But, the whole thing of stomping the stage and flapping like a chicken just isn't dancing. She is a good jazz dancer but I don't like the routine.

[livenluvdabeach]

i think she does show passion and her dancing goes to the girls voice but it was kinda wierd how she ran and stomped around the stage!!

her toes were never pointed

[aeishalltheway]

you dont have to always be poiting your toes to have good technique.

[DiamondsRaGirlsBF123]

shes to hard.

i know its an intense song.

but it looks like shes about to murder someone.

-shes over doing it.

[aeishalltheway]

i dont think so.

i think it shows that she has passion.

[dancWithLOVE]

i agree

[teamsesamerivera]

ur turns at the begining are AMAZING!!!!!

[lt4319]

i saw this in person. it was awesome!

[kshortie24]

i think christina aguilera sings this. sounds like her.

[Darcyisdance]

who sings this?

[adcdancr]

that was STUNNING

[lululover1997]

That was beautiful! I thought everyrthing was pretty good! FIERCE! The only i thing i didnt like were the facials. But that was awesome!
