[DuhDancer]

@NellsTruth Not true honestly age means nothing just matters how much you want it, Just started taking dancing seriously and im 20 might not be good, but i'v been told I'll get better in no time. Just gotta strive for it thats all >.<!

[oshuabailey38j]

This video is a favorite on Tripoli

[TRU3happiness14]

This is one of my favorite routines. Very powerful. Good Choreography and Dancers. Mia Michaels need to come back.

[Parla4]

That damn routine makes me cry every single time. Why won't sytycd put these videos up so we can watch them and not have to always search when we need our Mia Michaels fix? They could put ads on them and make a buck for Pete's sake!

[danceandlaughter]

Beautiful.

[freakout45678]

gush, gives me chills every time!!

[balletandtap1]

ah I mean 43

[balletandtap1]

His thought at 0:42 - 23 "FREE TOUCH!" lol sorry I had to, I still love this dance though!

[soontobemrsbieber8]

this is my fav dance in the world. i end up crying everytime. love

[Tiffawesomeness]

Aaaaand this is why Mia Michaels needs to do more choreography for the show next season! She is beyond amazing. I don't think she did any dance last season...?

[imalilcrazyx3]

the costumes couldn't have been more spot on for this routine

[supersirenia]

I don't even watch this show... my psych professor suggested we watch it, and that was three months ago. I can't stop watching it...

[happyendingish]

I loooooove this dance...my far by favourite SYTYCD routine!!!!

[emy1593]

mia michaels. that is all.

[cilabailarina]

@emy1593 I agree

[DAlsheikh]

AH-MA-ZING

[cilabailarina]

one word describes this dance: PERFECTION

[Voldie0218]

goosebumps

[beverlybradley210]

[caitlin32653]

[SydneywithLove]

this is so powerful.

[JokOpEenStok]

Tears, every time.

[breekwhal]

choreographer????

[cebdancer12]

@breekwhal Mia Michaels

[beigeblomman]

Oh shit, I´m trying to read the comments but I cant be on this side without watching the video... I always thought this was about rape and still how bad I try Its still about that in my mind...

[franhandley]

i think this is one of my favourite dances of SYTYCD, such a powerful piece which can be link to any issue which holds people back in life <3

[amanthasay28]

this performance still brings tears to my eyes.... one of the all time SYTYCD favorites, hands down.

[extremeXjapanophile]

This is so truly beautiful. A better song couldn't have been written for this routine, and better dancers couldn't have been picked. I believe every emotion they're trying to portray, amazing.

[Aimeejayylove96]

@domtom010 lol!!! Smh* :)

[janae1132011]

THIS iss amazing

[domtom010]

this would mean more to me if it didn't "look" like he was literally abusing her or even raping her...literally. But i thought this was VERY cool, like all the jumps and landings, i honestly thought she was gonna fall and hurt herself at some point. lol

[pinkmnm929]

@domtom010 its supposed to be like that idiot

[domtom010]

@pinkmnm929 ???......you mad bro?

[pinkmnm929]

i have literally watched this 15 times in a row... i almost cry everytime. this.is.amazing.

[hellomynnameis]

mia michaels needs to come back and choreograph.

[merylav]

Yup. Totally teared up watching this. And this is the 5th time I've seen it.

[JPWood211]

this song and dance reminds me of my mothers meth addiction for 24 years. i look at him like the meth and her.. this weak fragile, yet beautiful easily manipulated creature, as my mother. and how shes missed out so much of my life and my 2 year olds daughters life. what i would give to get to know my mother. this song and dance is wonderful.

[iamagaarafreak]

is there a way to get this edit of the song?

[awakenedonebleach39]

her hair looks like spagetti

[lookheezazn]

the musicality of 0:58 to 1:03 is stunning

[lookheezazn]

the musicality of :58 to 1:03 is stunning

[nahii93]

i love it!

[Mpumz1]

Can I download this video???

[Mpumz1]

Omg I can't stop watching this video,I watch it like my life depends on it,these two great dancers are talented it actually inspired my exams dance piece.#inlove

[starwinx10]

MY FAVORITE PIECE OF ALL SYTYCD. when i found out it was about addiction i got goosebumps b/c the choregraphy and actor's facials and moves REALLY depict that

[elyssa44]

this is the most amazing dance. It describes my life perfectly right now.

[soosoo37]

am i the only one addicted to this deeply touching piece of art?

[tinytwin29]

In tears! My gosh..simply amazing

[JBGiirl]

his half smurk is basically him saying she'll come back... its crazy this dance is amazing..

[klane456]

Domestic abuse in art form. just...beautiful.

[kAmm182]

@klane456 you didn't understand the message of this performance, they are trying to portrait an addict and its addiction.

[skrinkling]

@kAmm182 Domestic abuse has addictive attributes to it as well, don't be so narrow-minded. Domestic abuse is what I first saw too, though I understand it is more broad than this. Everyone is going to draw meaning from their own experiences.

[christianforlife18]

0:40 - 0:50 <333333

[MegbuttLovee]

I always saw myself as the 'Kayla' in this situation that I'm in.. but then today, I realized.. Im not Kayla, Im Kupono..Im so sorry....

[DepsoR]

El hombre es la gravedad y la mujer seria nosotros.

[betteronbrunettes]

Kupono is malevolent. I love it

[Ms9ja4lyfe]

this dance is creepy. well done.

[ameera14]

love. chills. amazing. love. kayla's an amazing dancer. so much emotion. replay....

[genessapalmquist]

@ 1:08 I begin to cry every time i watch this routine

[KristyBlisty]

Wow. Almost makes me cry.

This is incredible.

[StarkissedAlice]

I love Kupono's half smirk through the performance.

[bridgetespinosa1]

so close to home for so many years now

[ABmaraqa]

niesamowite...

[KelliKristyne]

I get sooo many chills watching this dance. Its soo amazing. I watch it all the time and it never gets old. Kayla is such an amazing dancer.

[charz9871]

What's the jump at 1:05 called?

[DDCdancer39]

kayla.is.perfect.

[MusicFreak6893]

this is still my fav sytycd number ever. i haven't gotten chills quite like this since this one.

[lotstanator]

This is beautiful in so many different ways..

[stinebroenn]

amazing, so powerful! loved it!

[wolfclan13]

that detached face. oh my god why is so freaking sexy cheese on crackers this is the most powerful heart wrenching things i've watched. i very much relate. sure my addictions aren't "hardcore" (i'm a self-injurer and bulimic) but it hits me every time i watchthis

[jayhawk181998]

Best Dance this show has had

[crystalLOLZ]

They're my favorite, ever.

[StelenaVD]

One of the best dancing couples ever......Indescribable

[marisolmongelosm]

:´/

[x3rosieeex3]

makes me so emotional when i watch it

[SlimmyShades]

I am confused as to the meaning of this dance.

[kagomenarue]

@SlimmyShades I believe the dance is depicting addiction, like to drugs and alcohol, and how hard it is to quit those things.

[MsJamieamy]

can someone explain this to me? what is it about?

[sookala]

@MsJamieamy It's about addiction and how it's so extremely hard to get over. The lyrics are saying that each time you try to pull away, it just draws you back.

[MsJamieamy]

@sookala thank you. thats what i thought but i wasnt entirely sure. it hits home now that i know that!

[BrokenHeart1701]

@1:10 to @1:13 Oh my god. What a feeling!

[flutegirl1995]

first time i watched this i thought it was about rape. only because of some of the moves, but now that i know its about addiction i definitely see that. extremely beautiful routine. i was mad that nigel told her that her hair was taking away from the performance because 1. it actually kind of adds to the broken look. 2. thats totally irrelevant i think she did ana amazing job

[skrinkling]

@flutegirl1995 i hadn't thought of rape, but that's a really logical interpretation now that you point it out. she wouldn't be physically going back to him, but continuing to mentally relive the experience and thus allowing it to hold her down. and i completely agree about the hair. it would not have been half as strong if she'd had it pinned back.

[MrMetthias]

@flutegirl1995 i thought the exact same thing... felt like slapping nigel in the face when he said that. still an amazing and relevant piece of work though, and still my most favorite piece thus far.

[kellynmw88]

Amazing depiction of addiction. I loved this dance when I first saw it, but now that I work at a rehab I can really appreciate this dance even more.

[romans82]

Wonderful....I really have no words to describe this piece....just wow.

[cutiewur]

WOW! Only thing I can even think of saying!

[sofulprogress]

oh shit this did almost make me cry lol

[bizzeepoo]

MIA COME BACK TO SYTYCD!!!!

[FlorinaXxx]

chills ..this was beautiful! truely amazing



[xoxowickedlovelyxoxo]

tears in my eyes. chills running down my body. this is..perfection.

[melgibsonswonderpet]

My brother is an addict.

Watching this always makes me cry.

I never cry.

[Ladylehua]

The part at 1:14 where the addiction has his hold on her with a smile on his face and she's writhing to the ground...such a powerful scene.

[AtharXxXSamara]

What's the name of this song?! !!!!!

[Ladylehua]

@AtharXxXSamara The song is called Gravity by Sara Bareilles

[iamlost2]

@AtharXxXSamara "Gravity" is the name of song

[kagambe]

do you know who choreographed this?

[Ladylehua]

@kagambe Mia Michaels

[AtharXxXSamara]

I fucked the repeat button!! It's so touching!!! specially at 00:40 - 00:47

[Rinny92DANCE]

My all time favorite routine. Everything about it is perfect <3

[moodswing1209]

This was one of my absolute favorite routines. Beautiful piece!

[ang3l3y3s01]

this was so amazing....i love the emotions :)

[AtharXxXSamara]

@ang3l3y3s01 me too!!!!!!

[lucky14829]

Definitely, one of the most powerful pieces choreographed ever!

And Kayla and Kupono pulled it off beautifully.

[missygramm]

One of my all-time favorite SYTYCD routines. The "story" behind it, the amazing choreography, the dancers, the costumes, makeup & hair all came together in a performance that was PURE PERFECTION. I have it recorded (along w/a few other favorites) that I can watch over & over again & it still brings me to tears.

[tcross79]

I remember vividly my reaction when this first aired. Itt brought me to tears. This routine captured the ugliness of addiction with such beauty and grace.

[dolkat]

Brilliant. One of the alltime best.

[CheerySummerBaby96]

this performance is my addiction... <3

[dancingmelissa1]

This is STILL incredible.

[coradora3805]

Amazing i get chills every single time i watch it most powerful one ive seen on this show ever

[ecpacgirl33]

10 girls ALLSTARS FOR NEXT SEASON (MY OPINION) Kayla Chelsie Anya Lauren G Lauren F Ashley Jaime Melane Caitlynn Comfort Boys: Twitch Pasha Kent Robert Dominic Ivan Benji Billy Ryan Nick L

[danniiemars]

@ecpacgirl33 Which Ryan? lol

[ecpacgirl33]

@danniiemars Ryan the guy from season 6 who was married to ashleigh another contestant

[ScaryMonstahh]

I never get tired of this routine even though it was from like 3 seasons ago!

[twinkletoes3175]

Goose bumps every single time I watch this.

[carlosesparza87]

OMG i fucking hate SYTYCD live audience. They always get in between screaming stuff and shouting. They should just forbid audience noise during contemporary routines.

[TheOriginalRevolt]

Extraordinary.

[Sukaisutaa18]

my Favorite dance from this show. truly magic.

[SYTYCDanceGirl123]

Speechless every time

[zhangvict1]

This made me realise. Dance is an ART. Not the automatic routines from pop starts, but real dance, real art

[TheLexusNight]

It's so frakkin' deep. I've watched it ten thousand times and it still just gets me...

[SwinglerESZone]

wow this was absolutely powerful. enough said.

[LMmccallL57]

Raw...emotional...deep.

Absolutely fabulous!

[koyaanisquatsi]

I cried when 1:07 began

[Neeshab19]

3 seasons later and this is STILL my fave dance number ever from sytycd..This still bring tears to my eyes sooooo beautiful Mia Micheals is just amazing for this and I still think Kayla should've won instead of Jeanine but whatever....

[TanisterATL]

@Neeshab19 I couldn't agree more. This routine definitely outshines all others. I got to meet Kupono on Saturday for National Dance Day and was finally able to tell him that this routine was my favorite. He was so sweet & funny. It was fun getting to meet & dance with him.

[bleeblooblah88]

i feel like crying everytime. breath taking. mia is a brilliant.

[nballetbunny]

wow, crying at this,,,

[lenahc21]

the first time i saw that i cried....beautiful

[nathanthebomb17]

At 1:06 It looks like he was actually hurting her! Its amazing!

[09ChloeAlexandra]

Sooo goood :)



[MetalLover886]

breathtaking ...

[makyla89dance]

still to this day i get emotional watching this



[contemporary901]

i got the chills at :42 .....started crying at :55 and bursted(?) into tears at 1:06

[eazyeandtayno]

beautiful

[contemporary901]

the advertisement on my computer was for an addiction rehad lol no joke

[brittanyadrianne]

This has to be one of the top five dances ever on the show. I watched this, and it gave me chills. Their dance was amazing, the emotions and characters they played were perfect. This dance is what got me into Sara Bareilles. <3 This dance was just perfect.

[MrMetthias]

when i learned of amy winehouse's death, all i could think of is this video. addiction is a powerful stuff, and they aced this routine.

[bigshowdog34]

His sadistic smile at the end frightens me O.O

[kmwrocket]

so powerful. gives me chills every time i watch it

[blahness013]

Oh, Mia Michaels. Literally not a day goes by that I do not die slightly from not seeing any new material from her. Her choreography is pure life!

[BriFelty]

Great story told. Great dancing. I love it!

[daniencinavelazquez]

hermoso hermosso!!!!!!!! <3

[TheBee586]

So beautiful and powerful one of my favorite dance routines to date.

[BrucasIsBettaThanYou]

the only dance that has made me cry on this show to date.

[lilgagamonster6]

beautiful song. beautiful dance. this is why i love to dance.

[TheMoonlightPixie]

I went through the addiction and the addict routine for several months. I still really havn't broken free but I'm trying.

[DLOVE91able]

one of the greatest dances on the show, a real tear jerker i love this dance!!!

[PnutAnnieKate]

Their emotions in this dance are so pure!

[CouncilKylah]

I LUV THIS DANCE MORE THAN ANY OTHEr!

[uh000]

i still get chills. one of the best dances i've ever seen

[annabirrell1]

ohhhh.. Just amazing, so emotional.!

[peacelovecupcakes91]

after years this is still my favorite dance of all time because she plays the role of a vulnerable addict so well in this piece. they work together to make it something more that two people going through the motions. it really is beautiful

[ZarenaStar1231]

this is truly a very good dance they r just flawless and it is a love hate thng with mia micheals

[18rodeochick]

This routine is absolutely breathe taking! Kayla is crazy amazing!

[brianneisbomb]

i miss mia michaels!!!!

[RachelHertenstein]

This show is so amazing. This dance was at least 3 seasons ago and I keep coming back to it, it's just so fierce. Kayla and Kupono both nailed the character of the piece and are doing more than dancing, they're really feeling it. And that is so amazing to watch! LOVE this show! :)

[dancingoboe92]

i get goosebumps at 40 seconds every time i watch this! definitely my favorite duet :)
