You, Sir, are a BEAST!!!! You are sooo rich in talent, passion, emotion, technique...cannot take my eyes off you for a second. Please, for the sake of humankind, teach people this masterpiece and have it performed every year for the next century. Thanks in advance.
jakob karr is my inspiration. he was at NYCDA in Pit this past weekend and watching him has every dancer wanting to be just like him. this is amazing and jakob is soooo talented!
This is still one of the best piece I have ever seen. Gorgeous choreography and Jakob makes it look effortless!!! I always come back to this video as soon as I hear this song.
I don't care that he didn't win because SYTYCD isn't the be all and end all. This dance is amazing! I want to see more of him as he continues to grow. It will be amazing.
He moves like water. I've never seen someone move with such smooth fluidity. Gogeous dancer. Ah! I could watch this video over and over again all day every day. Love this boy!
I cannot count on two hands the number of times I have watched this. Beautiful choreo, beautiful dancing, beautiful music- just a gorgeous piece of work
LOVE this! it's not often you find a dancer with such amazing technique that actually knows how to DANCE through the movement. the choreography is brilliant in that it shows off your flexibility and tricks without taking away from the emotion of the piece. you are absolutely incredible.
WOW.. this is his audition but a COMPLETE version without the judges stopping him!! This has got to be in my iPhone vid playlist :P I'm a fan of Jacob Karr
Okay, I know it's been a while but can I just leave this here. This video is one that sticks out in my brain. After watching this (a million times) I knew I wanted to dance! So inspiring and athletic! (:
This literally made me teary eyed, watching him dance in just an ordinary studio, and the fact that what he does is so extraordinary, and seeing how far he's come. I'm so proud of him
Just beautiful...did'nt expect him to win. He dances with such emotion...I love it!! Even more now that I seen the entire dance. TY NMak90! WOW!!...that song *sigh*...just beautiful...
He is absoluetly amazing, i cant get over it, he should have won. Hes such a big inspiration. Every move he does is so powerful. Hes just so perfect. hahaha
Oh, He's so amazing. All of his switches, leaps, and extensions are just wonderful. And at 1:13, that switch into a firebird (i think that's what it is. I could be wrong) is AMAZING.
Saw this on SYTYCD and had to find it on TH-cam. So so SO! beautiful. Congrats on a life changing performance! Regardless of how SYTYCD turns out you have a lifelong fan in me. Really? Are you kidding me right now? Blown away!
Jakob Karr is such a beautiful dancer. And all of the people who said that he didn't dance with emotion or personality must not be dancers, because (speaking from experience) you don't dance this much without puting your whole heart into every dance. Especially when it has this great choreography and music.
My Absolute Favorite On The Show Already!!. I knew This Dance Looked Familiar!. I watched It Long Before The Season Started!. I Wish The Best Of Luck To Him!. If He Doesn't Win I'll Never Watch The Show Again..
i just want to say that looking at this video has inspired me so much i have watched it at least 23 times now. i want to attend julliard when i get out of high school and be good like you. you hould keep up the good work! tears michael kemp
He has been one of my favourite dancers for years.. still can't stop admiring his pointe though!!!! such amazing feet and posture when en pointe. Brilliant technique also!!!!
Oh. My. Word. i have no words that can fully discribe the beauty of his movement. i think he diserved to win but then again, i have no dout in my mind that this will not be the last we see of him. for russel, if he wouln't have won i don't think i could say the same thing
Ohh... My... Goddd..... You are soooo amazing! I see people who go to LA and aren't even CLOSE to your talent. Juilliard proves the people who are eligible. I heard 8% of the world enrolls and nearly 1.5% drop out. You better not drop out. I admire your skills. Oh yeah, and I'm jealous of your perfect frontflip at 1:16. I hope to learn that on my jazz routine.
i saw your performance on SYTYCD and had to find out what song you used. I am so delighted that your whole solo is on TH-cam (wasn't really expecting to see it); the short piece on TV left me wanting to see the rest! Amazing job, and I hope you make it to the Top20.... you have my vote!
WoW this is just... just... I have no word to describe the feeling I had when you danced that contemporary piece. Apparently, your from SYTYCD, and hopefully you win cause this was just fantastic and just amazing. You've inspired me to go back into dancing, thanks !!!
This comment is the most correct of them all. Very accurate. The only thing i would add is that the term contemporary is used to describe many different things that are modern. A painting can be contemporary, meaning it has a very modern look to it rather than fitting the status quo. Contemporary began being used to describe dance when dancers used their ballet technique to make dances that went beyond their training. It is the newest form of dance and it more similar to modern than lyrical.
I think I've finally found the difference between Billy Bell, and Jakob Karr. Billy Bell dances with emotion, and Jakob dances with technique. And that's not to say that Billy doesn't have technique and Jakob doesn't have emotion. That's their strong points. When Jakob was on the show, Billy was my favorite, because I could see that passion, that emotion in his movements, and as someone that doesn't dance, I connect more to that. But the more I watch Jakob, the more I appreciate and love him.

Genius. The best dancer ever on the show. Born to move lyrically.
You, Sir, are a BEAST!!!!
You are sooo rich in talent, passion, emotion, technique...cannot take my eyes off you for a second. Please, for the sake of humankind, teach people this masterpiece and have it performed every year for the next century. Thanks in advance.
Respect where respect is due: Jakob Karr is incredible.
Oh, and Nathan Makolandra, you're a wonderful dancer, but an even better choreographer. This dance is just stunning.
jakob karr is my inspiration. he was at NYCDA in Pit this past weekend and watching him has every dancer wanting to be just like him. this is amazing and jakob is soooo talented!
This fist to the mouth is just killer, such a wonderful piece of art, the emotion is so raw
This is still one of the best piece I have ever seen. Gorgeous choreography and Jakob makes it look effortless!!! I always come back to this video as soon as I hear this song.
I don't care that he didn't win because SYTYCD isn't the be all and end all.
This dance is amazing! I want to see more of him as he continues to grow. It will be amazing.
i wanna cry..... he makes me feel so human, like ther really is something to live for. he's so expressive
He moves like water. I've never seen someone move with such smooth fluidity. Gogeous dancer. Ah! I could watch this video over and over again all day every day. Love this boy!
I almost started crying.... this is just, words can't explain.
His leg extentions are amzing! :)
I cannot count on two hands the number of times I have watched this. Beautiful choreo, beautiful dancing, beautiful music- just a gorgeous piece of work
Can't stop watching this it's so flawless
WOW, Jakob's dancing was amazing (of course), but that choreography was so beautiful.
LOVE this! it's not often you find a dancer with such amazing technique that actually knows how to DANCE through the movement. the choreography is brilliant in that it shows off your flexibility and tricks without taking away from the emotion of the piece.
you are absolutely incredible.
Those jumps, to die for. His flexibility, to die for. His strength, to die for. His chereography, to die for. This man is extrodianary.
That aerial he does is pretty much the most beautiful thing i've ever seen
jakob is an amazing dancer... i just don't have words to describe his performance!!!!!
WOW.. this is his audition but a COMPLETE version without the judges stopping him!! This has got to be in my iPhone vid playlist :P
I'm a fan of Jacob Karr
I could watch this a million times without being bored, both the choreography and the dancing is amazing!!!
BEAUTIFUL dancer, FABULOUS choreography. just wow. the extensions are gorgeous. everything is gorgeous.
Ugh he is everything i aspire to be as a dancer... I am seriously speechless!!
Remember seeing this 8 years ago and it never gets old!
Okay, I know it's been a while but can I just leave this here. This video is one that sticks out in my brain. After watching this (a million times) I knew I wanted to dance! So inspiring and athletic! (:
i can't begin to explain how attractive this is to me. you are a gift.
This is Craaazy good!
His leap at 0:42 was perfect.
You sir, are a wonderment to watch. Absolutely breathtaking.
This literally made me teary eyed, watching him dance in just an ordinary studio, and the fact that what he does is so extraordinary, and seeing how far he's come. I'm so proud of him
Jakob Karr is the most amazing dancer i've ever seen and he was soo robbed of the sytycd title!
Just beautiful...did'nt expect him to win. He dances with such emotion...I love it!! Even more now that I seen the entire dance. TY NMak90! WOW!!...that song *sigh*...just beautiful...
He is absoluetly amazing, i cant get over it, he should have won. Hes such a big inspiration. Every move he does is so powerful. Hes just so perfect. hahaha
He is my all time favorite. He is so ridiculous. I wan to cry every time I watch him.
wait, why have i never seen any dancer thats so perfect..
That firebird blows my mind. Every. Single. Time.
Oh, He's so amazing.
All of his switches, leaps, and extensions are just wonderful.
And at 1:13, that switch into a firebird (i think that's what it is. I could be wrong) is AMAZING.
I love the fact that I knew him before all his success, and to see how far he's come is so amazing. I'm so happy for him.
Saw this on SYTYCD and had to find it on TH-cam. So so SO! beautiful. Congrats on a life changing performance! Regardless of how SYTYCD turns out you have a lifelong fan in me. Really? Are you kidding me right now? Blown away!
you are the best male dancer ive seen in a long time
talent maker!!
That was beauty and love inside of that camera because that was just amazing...
I watch this video nearly every day. I think he is one of the most incredible dancers. I would love to meet and talk with him. I love you, Jacob Karr.
im glad i found his entire routine without camera switches nor looking at judges' expressions, which i particularly don't care for.
holy crap. when people told me you were amazing i had to see it for myself... holy shit.
phenomenal. ive never seen anyone dance like you dude.
He makes it look so easy. If he makes top 20, I'll be rooting for him!
Holy crap Nathan - your choreography gives me chills everytime i see it.
As cheesy as it sounds, you truly do inspire me.
Love this :)
Your extension is beautiful. This was absolutely breathtaking.
Jakob Karr is such a beautiful dancer. And all of the people who said that he didn't dance with emotion or personality must not be dancers, because (speaking from experience) you don't dance this much without puting your whole heart into every dance. Especially when it has this great choreography and music.
oh and his dancing is so undescribably beautiful that this piece made me tear up. I know that's a bit dramatic, but it just really hit me.
My Absolute Favorite On The Show Already!!. I knew This Dance Looked Familiar!. I watched It Long Before The Season Started!.
I Wish The Best Of Luck To Him!.
If He Doesn't Win I'll Never Watch The Show Again..
i've watched this video three times now. A true definition of a dancer.
