[Lillithx2]

[epaigeross]

MIKE!!! this is emily ross! you were my counselor at camp y noah! i just wanted to say this is great! you're a great dancer!

[mo39fhn]

congrats to mike, that was pretty heart-warming

[Gamekingz0r1]

that was simply awesome !!

[highonprozac]

Dance to express, not to impress!

[Andy9742]

I hate this show, but that guy has balls to go ahead and audition. I have a minor stutter, no where near as bad as him and I hate it. Stuttering can stop a lot of people for doing things but this guy went ahead and did it, good on him.

[MissPagzy]

i get bullied numorous times a day! and what you said made me cry just like many other people! i fully agree, when i'm dancing nothing matters!

you're a big inspiration :)

[hanz772]

what's the name of the song when he receives the card while he spoke in front of the judges.....? tnx

[jassy2k9]

You're so sweet and so talented I just wanna give you a hug :) Keep doing what you love and ignore the asshole comments...

[paramoretwilight101]

i think that you did a great job, I believe that tap is extremely underrated in this show, I did tap for a while and it was so difficult, very few make it to Sydney that are tap dancers, so great job :)

[secholian]

very touching. my tears all out. T_T

very inspritational. 1st utube vid make my tears went out.

[kOnAn1885]

happy feet! :D

[DASHBishop]

[trixiepixie94]

You are an incredible dancer!! Your face after ur dance was priceless because u knew that u had nailed it :) well done, and don't worry, the stutter is cute :)

[classicdizzy]

i love this song!!

[Lotte1992Lotte]

What a cutie and he is really good

[Terah9669]

Watching this was amazing because you have a speech disorder that limits your ability to have flow in a conversation and especially even more difficult when your anxious and in front of many people, but you not only showed yourself but others that have the same thing as you to enjoy the things they love doing and not to let something such as a stuttering problem get in the way of the things you really want to do in life. Kudos to you Mike!

[TommyWeusthof]

nice talking

[iris1937]

respect Mike, you are an awsome dancer!!!

[victoriamarie1983]

I was bullied all my life for no reason at all. I only became popular when I began to dance and people saw me as talented rather than just someone to pick on. Your words made me cry when I saw this on tv. You are a true inspiration to everyone out there Mike. I'll be dancing in honour of people like you tomorrow night. x

[MIKKAMETDIESTIKKA]

is it possible gettin a blowjob while tapdancing?

[olympiafencing]

NORTHING wrong with stuttering...

[Crystalom3]

Follow your dreams! I stutter too and I'm pursuing an acting career.

[gillyssquashball]

You can't dance for shit fag.

[chilled4lyf]

@gillyssquashball Seems like your the douche shitting on your daddys meat shank at will. Show respect if you know the definition. Scat like yourself usually evolves into the rotten useless beings, similar to a horse fly.

[McLenga]

you're really good and seem like a nice guy.are you still dancing now?

[hyllerical]

Wow! Fantastic tap and what a sweetheart. Hope to see more of you on telly soon.

[CautionIMThinking]

he is soooo adorable and i lllloooooveeeeeeee him !! ♥

[gusbong85]

wow, awesome, nice words at the end, inspiring..!! LEGEND!!

[cwstbem09]

don't be sorry about the stutter. that was really cool that you could walk up on stage with something like that. nice tapping. i was spaced out at your feet in amazement. i wish i could be your friend. that was really brave. :)

[QuickAtTheKeys]

would you know the song by annychance at 1:34 is it U2?

[QuickAtTheKeys]

That was really good! congrats on getting so far!

It's okay i understand what its like to stutter. I get made fun of alot for it but it is a part of who you are...good for you man

[sassyfras000]

Wow cute guy- so approachable, a good dancer (and presumably great bod!) and seems like the biggest sweetheart ever! It's always the best guys who have low self esteem- guess it's a vicious circle.

[emmaslut69]

wow fuck the judges

[gillyssquashball]

Maybe they should have a retard idol?

[Jowhaan]

Loads of love from sweden!

great dancing, and your so adorable!

enjoy life <3

[laurenthepillow]

You know if you want to ever get rid of your stutter there are some places where you can get exercises where it can help you get over it, and there are also surgeries that can correct it if it's too bad.
