The message was beautiful and I cry every time that I watch it, but I feel like the choreography wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. It ended up being a lot of Kalani legs and not much else, which is disappointing when Abby has such beautiful and capable dancers.
Kalani’s Say Something, Say Anything was BEAUTIFUL!!! I literally cried the first time I saw this. It touched my heart and I saw how good of a dancer she truly is.❤️❤️ I love all the dances where you just wanna cry and have a great meaning to it like Suicide Hotline.
I wish Kalani could’ve been able to dance a solo choreographed by Alexa and go against Maddie. She would’ve beaten Maddie several times. Abby only gave Kalani acro solos when she went up against Maddie. Maddie is an amazing dancer but I think they didn’t give a Kalani a fair chance whenever she went up against Maddie.
Keisha Jordan They never gave anyone a fair chance when it came to competing against Maddie. She was their golden girl. That was the narrative they chose to push.
No, it’s not about who beats who. Dance is something you would do for a life goal. Comparing them wouldn’t do anything but cause drama. It really makes me sad to see such beautiful dancers being compared to each other outside of competition.
I think nia was only one of the weakest dancers on the team because she wasn’t given enough attention compared to the other girls and I think nia would of greatly improved if she was trained by someone else other then Abby and I think she would be just as good as the others if she was given more attention
that and I think Nia just needed time to grow comfortable in her body. Some people take longer than others to become fully coordinated. She was a 110% performer from Day one, but now she is also a strong dancer as well
I agree with you so much about Nia!! Nia had amazing potential and wasn't really given much encouragement to use it all with Abby. But I know that Debbie Allen has worked with her and thought she was amazing so... way to go Nia!
No I don’t agree. Nia is a person of very high privilege and many many opportunities. She just isn’t a natural dancer in my opinion. She is more of a hip hop dancer, not a “pretty dancer” or as flexible dancer as a Kalani. I just didn’t really like the constant complaining from Holly when she became either very passive aggressive or just plain aggressive in later seasons and I didn’t like the shiesty way they treated Abby. Come on they went with Aubrey Oday and said ‘screw you Abby’. I just think that Abby really gave all those kids so many opportunities they may not have had, particularly Nia (dance talent wise) but the repayment was just a big up yours and disrespect. Anyway that is just my opinion and I guess I get a little peeved when ppl make excuses for Nia when she just isn’t as skilled as the others naturally.
The problem with Maddie isn’t that she can’t dance/perform. Her problem is the fact that we don’t actually know how versatile and good she actually was because Abby and Giana would always give her similar choreography. If you look at her TDA improv, it’s definitely better than any solos she ever performed choreography wise. I just wish we got to see more from her.
I agree! we only got to see her in 1 style because the show was trying SO hard to brand her as that. They tried this really hard with other dancers too, like Brooke. They just pigeonholed them into one style. Maddie is better at hip hop and contemporary than Lyrical in my opinion. There is more freedom for her to express herself in the movement and emote. In Lyrical she is contained to the ballet technique lol
honestly yes. her dancing now is bumping and she does a bunch of different styles. i think working with brian, blake and also dancing with charlize is helping her branch out so much more!
I can’t get over how amazing Kalani is and her facials are great too! Like you said, her smooth and great technique is really hard to beat. I think the facials and petals in Blush and Bashful really helped this dance get a perfect score, but I don’t feel like the dancing is as capturing as some of the others. I have to go but I’ll finish watching this later ❤️
I’ve NEVER seen Maddie do a dance that I wasn’t captivated by.... she just has that IT factor... like every single time she performs she performs with every inch of her body... from the top of her head to the tip of her toes... like if she could move her hair strands to help express her emotions and tell the story... she would.. Lol
This is why I like Maddie better than Kalani/Brynn etc. She might not have quite the technique they have (but her's.is still pretty damn good) she has emotion and passion that far outsripts them. Don't get me wrong, Kalani and Brynn both equally have pretty good emotion but they have never and probably wont ever capture me like Maddie does. When she dances it's so clear the butning passion she has for what she does and her every movement seems extremely thought outand every thing she does is done to project emotion. Maddie's dancing has taken me to real enotional tears and has pulled my heartstings out. But I just can't get that same feeling from Brynn, Kalani, Chloe or even Sophia. At lot of the yime dancers only project emotion throuh their expressions on their face. Maddie has the face but the thing that really captures you is the way she uses her legs and arms. Being a dancer isn't all about technique. So yes, I believe Maddie is the best dancer on the show. Lol come for me
yes I think it was fair. As much as Fragile Forest was one of my favourites of all time, I think All God's Creatures wins overall in my scoring as well, for the SAME reason I said Blush and Bashful didn't deserve a perfect score. All God's Creatures tell an important story and evokes a messages. Fragile Forest is just a gorgeous number to a gorgeous song with a gorgeous dancer. Both are great, but the point of ART is to make people feel. Not JUST to entertain and be great ! I hope that makes sense!
Ardita Ferrari they were probably enraptured by the performance and forgave the technical shortcomings. To me it is more important to tell the story naturally then to execute the dance with perfect technique and make people feel absolutely nothing.
@@JordanJSparks I agree with your opinion but personally think that Maddie Ziegler hasn't body emotion but facial expressions. I mean, some of her solos are AMAZING (Lizzie Borden, for example) but I like more the kind of dancer that express feelings trough the body (Kalani, Tate McRae, others). It's quite a personal opinion but sometimes I think Maddie's faces were quite too much, especially in the early seasons sometimes it looked kinda dub to me. Still, before Kalani and Brynn and Elly were on the show, she was my favorite dancer so I'm not saying I don't like her at all :)
Kalani in blush and bashful in the part towards the end where she’s supposed to be fighting against not wanting to have to get married.... I love that part!!!! And you just said the same thing lol
@@flxraison752 yeah no doubt she was loved. I just thought she deserved to be the center of it, like they did with Maddie. I think her age prob had something to do with tha t.
Her, Brynn, Sophia, and Elliana were some of, if not, the best dancers on the show. (Especially considering they’re the only ones who have won the dance awards who were part of the ALDC)
I love All God's Creatures. It reminds me of Maddie's solo Leaving Berlin (another favorite of mine), but as a version for older, more technical Maddie. And this one was more upbeat. That dance captivates me every single time. Also- this is my first time seeing Fragile Forest?! WHAT. This dance is incredible!
@@JordanJSparks I seriously feel like we are the same person sometimes! 😂 I always love your videos because it's just like "oh my gosh someone else gets it!!!"
I think the reason "Blush and Bashful" didn't make people feel anything is because the subject wasn't super clear. Knowing that it was about young girls being pressured into polygamous marriages, it was really powerful. But if I hadn't seen the episode, I don't think I would have understood that just from watching the dance.
I cry every time I see that...The music is so gorgeous and the dancing was amazing. I ignored the polygamy narrative and just imagined that Kalani wanted to break free from a bad situation, like maybe the other girls were mean or something. The polygamy is in a long list of unrelatable narratives Abby gave lol
I always felt like kalani was more stronger lyrically then Maddie it’s sad she wasn’t branded as such because her dancing always blew me away. She’s the reason I’m working so hard to have my daughter go into either gymnastics or ballet. well that and the fact my lil girl loves dancing and gymnastics if she sees someone dancing she tries to copy the moves and then she also likes to try to do handstands and front rolls (She’s only 2 turned 2 2 months ago) so to me it’s something she would love! If she doesn’t then of course I’d take her out, but I definitely would love to watch her do dance or gymnastics because it’s so beautiful and takes more strength then people realize.
awe that is sooo cute!!! she sounds like she would definitely enjoy some gymnastics classes!! I don't have any kids myself, but it's always a great way to get her started with a social circle too, if you guys don't do any group activities yet since she's so little. Kalani had a more fluid dancing style lyrically I agree, I just felt more emotion and connection with Maddie always. I never really felt anything from any of the other dancers except Nia, Paige and occasionally Brooke in the very beginning. Kenzie DEFINITELY exuberates genuine joy when she dances too. I think both Ziegler girls are natural entertainers, but in totally different ways. Kenzie can make an audience SMILE from their Heart. Maddie can make an audience feel and be inspired. Stir Emotion. Still waiting for Kendall's emotional breakthrough! If only she could harness that tantrum energy into her dancing!
Jordan Sparks I agree about the girls as well! I watched Mackenzie on dancing with the stars juniors and I love how much she’s grown and how much joy comes from her! Maddie is beautiful all the way around and she’s doing so much right now it was fun watching them all grow. I’m def gonna start her in gymnastics because I’m sure it’ll be lots of fun for her. She doesn’t do much activities with other kids but I’ve looked up videos on safe ways to stretch a 2 year old so I’ve started that with her (just toe touches sitting and standing) and then I cheer her on when she tries to do hand stands and rolls and it makes her so excited it’s definitely the cutest thing for me to watch (I’m sure any parent feels this way about their kid!) so I’m excited to get her in it and watch her learn and grow. I’m definitely subscribing to you and I can’t wait till the new dance moms and I hope you do videos on the new girls as well ☺️
Nice choice!!! Ballet (or gymnastics) will be such a good addition to her education. She will learn music, discipline, hard work, respect and sacrifices. She will learn what it takes to achieve her goals and she will also learn how good it feels to be proud of yourself. Dance will help her become the best version of herself. It will help her find her voice, discover who she is as a person. She will learn to speak without words and , to speak without talking, you really need to be as true to yourself as you can because you will only speak through your own emotions. She will learn that she can create beautiful things with her body, that by moving it she can feel free. Dance will teach her this and much more. It will be part of her life forever. And it will give her a glimpse on the beauty of life in the most beautiful way possible. Educate your child to art and you won't ever regret it. Just make sure you find a great studio where your child is in a safe environment and is nourished and enriched as a person. She will thank you later in life!
The blonde girl was Jane Dickson, isnt she gorgeous? Shame she didn't keep her long enough that she could have fit in, like Daviana She would have brought a lot to the team if given the chance to
ya, Jane didn't speak up, so much so that I don't even know her name lol. Daviana was great, but she had a mouth on her! lol. It's no surprise to me that she wasn't invited back.
Jordan Sparks i also think Abby brought Daviana in to intentionally have Kalani beat her bc Davi beat Kalani at a competition and Abby wanted to “prove” Kalani was better.
BIRTHDAY BY MADDIE SHOULD HAVE GOT A PERFECT SCORE. She was even crying tears of joy after her solo. The technique was flawless, the tricks were amazing and emotion was breath taking
I still can’t believe they didn’t show fragile forest on TV either. It’s such a beautiful dance. Also the person who made the video you’re reacting to missed two perfect score dances. Machine lines from the candy apples and Chloe’s dream on a star both received perfect scores.
Maddie’s expression in her dances are just speechless they’re amazing and I think that’s what the girls on dance moms lack .They all have breathtaking techniques but you not only tell a story by movement but your face as well .All the girls are fabulous tho ☺️❤️
another one of my favorite solos that is close to perfect in my eyes is ellianas “am i enough”, the perfect technique, the heartfelt emotions, the flexibility, the fluidity, and the just effortlessness of her was absolutely amazing. i’m still shocked it got 5th place
I think you can just see the control and quality of movement in kalani’s dancing that comes from ballet training. I think maddie is an incredible dancer in her own ways, but she doesn’t quite have that full control and understanding of her body that I find so captivating in kalani
idk why but i felt like in all gods creatures she would rush the movments, like the joffery ballet school teacher said, and I kind of feel like she sometimes rushes the movments, and insted of being fluent like kalani stops and then goes to the next movment rather then finishing it off and connenting them
I'm obsessed with dance moms too. I never use to dance until I started watching the show. Watching the show gave me the passion to join a dance team and to try new styles and moves.
@@JordanJSparks I think you should get a p.o.box where we can send you earring alternatives! Cuz besides the pain inducing pin earrings the make up and the hair are looking amazing!
One Maddie dance which brought me close too tears was the hostage, the way she executed that dance was insane her technique shone through season 4 but right from season 1 of dance moms Maddie had fantastic facial execution even Caesar saw that back in stars collide season 1. The hostage and all gods creatures are my absolute favourite.
I love your channel! I sometimes re-watch your videos because you are so articulate in expressing your opinion as a Dance Coach and as a viewer like us. But you do it with such professionalism and kindness and compassion, that your videos feel like a comfort viewing, and its been 4 years since this one! Wanted to add that: Post-Dance Moms and with all the flow of information that we now have (from all cast members coming forward with information, including Abby), I would like comment that we can safely state that Maddie definitely was favored. Yes, she has something special and is talented in dance and performing. But she was also given extra time for rehearsal, she was put up front and center most of the time, her wins were celebrated by her teacher, she got continuous praise when she did things right and when she messed up or was upset she was consoled by Abby. With the years, Abby has admitted that Melissa pulled Maddie away from school in secret to give her time to learn her solos and parts of the group dances. This has been confirmed by other cast members. She didn't learn her choreography by osmosis, she was just given extra time to learn the steps AND thus the chance to put in the emotional performance that made her win awards and audiences. The rest of the kids had to conform with whatever little time they were given by production to rehearse and added to that, they had to battle with their lack of self-confidence resulting from Abby's bullying. Abby is super entitled in her interview (she even expects Maddie to apologize to HER) but she speaks about the rehearsal time here (min 21-23): th-cam.com/video/kMZq6rR9yCY/w-d-xo.html Also, this is a video from MackZBoss, where she puts together evidence from cast's declaration and how rehearsals influenced in the dancers' success: th-cam.com/video/VbnCkRlUGuk/w-d-xo.html That being said, it doesn't take away from Maddie's talent and her hard work, AT ALL. Nor does it negate that she was emotionally abused by Abby just as much as the other girls, with the added pressure of being the favorite and expected to live up to that. But she definitely had a leg up in comparison to the other girls.
I think the petals in blush and bashfull bring the wow effect, that helped achieve perfect score. As much as I hate working with petals on stage, because they are unpredictable, i have to admit they look gorgeous and if you add them to good timing af the performers, they look incredible.
There was one other perfect score dance on dance moms. It’s called machine lines and it was a Cadc group dance. It was actually the first perfect score dance on the show but literally everyone has forgotten that. 😂
11:08 IF THAT AIN'T THE TRUTH. So many Dance Moms fans DON'T GET IT. Yes, many of the other girls were beautiful dancers but they didn't execute each dance like Maddie did. You could compare directly in group dances. If you watch the same group dance over and over again, each time focusing on a different dancer, you will see that Maddie does the same EXACT move in a way that gives it something.
I thought Blush & Bashful was breath taking. Kalani was incredible. As for Jane, the other blonde, my guess is that she was production's idea. They probably did it for drama.
I loved this video ! There is really one dance I regret didn't have a perfect score, it's Brynn 's Botched. I discovered her with this dance and it was so powerful I actually cried. I really love this number and I regret most of her other dances weren't as good on the show...
Blush and Bashful makes me feel something! I have no idea what it is but it reaches something inside me that the every other dance on dance moms do not
Can we hear your song love light? I saw Kalani in an airport in Vegas and I was so excited that I just cried and couldn’t talk.Kalani was gracious and humble.I just love her.
For me Kalani was the best dancer that abby have in the show... she have all packet... and she never stops her evolution... watch her dance make me feel good.
thank you so much! I literally just painted my entire face like camo in blotchy ugliness to test which colours look best on my skin tone right now hahahah
omg um hi okay I seeeeee you. Best compliment of ever, so I'm just gonna keep that forever close to heart. I did an Arial impression at the beginning of one of my videos once, singing into the Frozen microphone I bought from the dollar store kids section lol
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, but, I am truly confused. Everyone has the right to live life,as they please. That being said, if someone is into full face makeup. . . Why keep the moustache ? Seriously, I am confused. This is NOT an attack. I am curious, and, would really like it, if someone who has a legitimate answer, would respond.
well since it's my face I'm the only person that can answer that for you, and because I am a MAN . I am not trying to look like a Woman or Do Drag. I am simply wearing makeup on my eyes because I want to. It's really that simple lol.
@@Deborah-kz1bv well he just wants to look how he sees is his best :) thank you for being respectful. Also I love your look, keep killin it lmao (Jordan)
In Blush and Bashful, the new girl was Jane. She was brought in to match Brynn in dances so she woukd "mirror" her as some would say. The moms complained about Brynn always getting the special part because she was the only blonde on the team. So Abby brought her in so they couldn't say that.
Keep in mind that they do the dances twice, one for filming and one for judging. They could have done it a lot better in their one for the judges. Also, I totally agree about Maddie!
omg I'm literally obsessed with your channel!! I was maybe wondering if you could react to 'The Dance Awards New York - Junior Best Dance Off 2015' I loved Maddie's improv and the other girls were beautiful as well, I'd love to see your reactions.
Btw... I think that YOU'RE an inspiration for us to feel free to be ourselves. You're amazing and beautiful so thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts with us
Well, we know what Abby SAYS the dances are about, but if you watch the dance without hearing that, and you can't figure it out, then it doesn't get conveyed properly somehow.
The blonde girl in Blush and Bashful is Jane and she was added for Brynn to have an opposite. Abby added Jane so Brynn being blonde would have a similar opposite because Kendall and kalani we closes looks wise which is why she didn't just have Kendall and Brynn opposites then
It makes me sad that people say their not good dancers and they only win because of fame, like hello!? Have you ever tried to do at least half of they things they do, plus the hours they put in plus the school work they do and look pretty doing it 😂
I really enjoyed this video and your reaction to it. It makes me really happy that DMS inspired you because l really thought it was amazing. Some of Abby's choreo that made you stop and think was stunning. I tjought Chloe's solo Please and Inside of me, Silence, Dream on a Star and Lucky Star should have been perfect, but you would know more about that than l. Could you please do a video of those and your reaction to them? I would really love that. I haven't been subscribed to you for all that long, l just ran into yo recently but now l'm hooked. Great video! ✨💫🌟✨💫🌟✨
And Seeing Red.... god that one just takes my breath away every single time, though I can't decide between the regular episode version and the reunion episode version.
For me, Kalani is the best dancer- but I feel that Maddie is the best ACTOR. She just has such a gift for emotional execution. I love them both so much 😊

I think that the group dance Suicide Hotline deserved a perfect score, it was amazing and had a strong message.
I agree it was amazing but it was not perfect.
Ikr
YESS
The message was beautiful and I cry every time that I watch it, but I feel like the choreography wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. It ended up being a lot of Kalani legs and not much else, which is disappointing when Abby has such beautiful and capable dancers.
Or maybe even amber alert
Also Fragile Forest wasn’t aired because dance moms would seem more fake if there was 2 perfect scoring dances in the same episode
it would have been 3 perfect scoring dances in that episode because the other team’s group dance got a perfect score
Kalani’s Say Something, Say Anything was BEAUTIFUL!!! I literally cried the first time I saw this. It touched my heart and I saw how good of a dancer she truly is.❤️❤️ I love all the dances where you just wanna cry and have a great meaning to it like Suicide Hotline.
my favorite of actually showing her talent is Arizona Star. But I love pretty lyrical, so I loved Fragile Forest.
Jordan Sparks omg, I love Arizona Star! It’s such an underrated solo and people seem to overlook it a lot
omg i cried too!!
I wish Kalani could’ve been able to dance a solo choreographed by Alexa and go against Maddie. She would’ve beaten Maddie several times. Abby only gave Kalani acro solos when she went up against Maddie. Maddie is an amazing dancer but I think they didn’t give a Kalani a fair chance whenever she went up against Maddie.
Keisha Jordan I agree. Alexa is an amazing choreographer.
Keisha Jordan l really agree with that, but they didn't want Kalani to ever beat Maddie. That was so unfair to Kalani.
Keisha Jordan
They never gave anyone a fair chance when it came to competing against Maddie. She was their golden girl. That was the narrative they chose to push.

she can dance, we just haven’t seen it.
I *LOVE* how Maddie just effortlessly does that jump out of her turns onto the floor in All of God's Creatures. It looks sooo good!

awe that is sooo cute!!! she sounds like she would definitely enjoy some gymnastics classes!! I don't have any kids myself, but it's always a great way to get her started with a social circle too, if you guys don't do any group activities yet since she's so little. Kalani had a more fluid dancing style lyrically I agree, I just felt more emotion and connection with Maddie always. I never really felt anything from any of the other dancers except Nia, Paige and occasionally Brooke in the very beginning. Kenzie DEFINITELY exuberates genuine joy when she dances too. I think both Ziegler girls are natural entertainers, but in totally different ways. Kenzie can make an audience SMILE from their Heart. Maddie can make an audience feel and be inspired. Stir Emotion. Still waiting for Kendall's emotional breakthrough! If only she could harness that tantrum energy into her dancing!
Jordan Sparks I agree about the girls as well! I watched Mackenzie on dancing with the stars juniors and I love how much she’s grown and how much joy comes from her! Maddie is beautiful all the way around and she’s doing so much right now it was fun watching them all grow. I’m def gonna start her in gymnastics because I’m sure it’ll be lots of fun for her. She doesn’t do much activities with other kids but I’ve looked up videos on safe ways to stretch a 2 year old so I’ve started that with her (just toe touches sitting and standing) and then I cheer her on when she tries to do hand stands and rolls and it makes her so excited it’s definitely the cutest thing for me to watch (I’m sure any parent feels this way about their kid!) so I’m excited to get her in it and watch her learn and grow. I’m definitely subscribing to you and I can’t wait till the new dance moms and I hope you do videos on the new girls as well ☺️
haha awe this literally made my day. The cutest. I hope you guys have so much fun together!
Jordan Sparks thank you 💕💕 and I’m happy I made your day 🙂
Nice choice!!! Ballet (or gymnastics) will be such a good addition to her education. She will learn music, discipline, hard work, respect and sacrifices. She will learn what it takes to achieve her goals and she will also learn how good it feels to be proud of yourself. Dance will help her become the best version of herself. It will help her find her voice, discover who she is as a person. She will learn to speak without words and , to speak without talking, you really need to be as true to yourself as you can because you will only speak through your own emotions. She will learn that she can create beautiful things with her body, that by moving it she can feel free. Dance will teach her this and much more. It will be part of her life forever. And it will give her a glimpse on the beauty of life in the most beautiful way possible. Educate your child to art and you won't ever regret it. Just make sure you find a great studio where your child is in a safe environment and is nourished and enriched as a person. She will thank you later in life!
The blonde girl was Jane Dickson, isnt she gorgeous? Shame she didn't keep her long enough that she could have fit in, like Daviana She would have brought a lot to the team if given the chance to
ya, Jane didn't speak up, so much so that I don't even know her name lol. Daviana was great, but she had a mouth on her! lol. It's no surprise to me that she wasn't invited back.
Oh wow I Forgot about that, so distracted by her beautiful dancing I forgot She did complain about kalani getting better dancing than her lol
Jordan Sparks i also think Abby brought Daviana in to intentionally have Kalani beat her bc Davi beat Kalani at a competition and Abby wanted to “prove” Kalani was better.
Wooooow do you think? Hadn't thought of that, wouldn't put it past Abby for a minute
Its sad that there are only a few perfect score solos I think that Chloe solo lucky star shouldve gotten a perfect score
YES!! I thought that was perfect too
Glee ALDC Oh my gosh, l said that too. Also Please and a few others. 😀
Maybe it did - do we actually know? It did win.
Same, Lucky Star was amazing and it's my favourite solo from her❤️
Omg I agree! It was a ridiculous good solo xx
BIRTHDAY BY MADDIE SHOULD HAVE GOT A PERFECT SCORE. She was even crying tears of joy after her solo. The technique was flawless, the tricks were amazing and emotion was breath taking
I agree!!
honestly blush and bashful is the prettiest dance I’ve watched from this show
I still can’t believe they didn’t show fragile forest on TV either. It’s such a beautiful dance. Also the person who made the video you’re reacting to missed two perfect score dances. Machine lines from the candy apples and Chloe’s dream on a star both received perfect scores.
Love your makeup 😊 I can’t even put mascara on right 😂
Dance Till You Drop thank you!
Maddie’s expression in her dances are just speechless they’re amazing and I think that’s what the girls on dance moms lack .They all have breathtaking techniques but you not only tell a story by movement but your face as well .All the girls are fabulous tho ☺️❤️
another one of my favorite solos that is close to perfect in my eyes is ellianas “am i enough”, the perfect technique, the heartfelt emotions, the flexibility, the fluidity, and the just effortlessness of her was absolutely amazing. i’m still shocked it got 5th place
totally agree!
Those petals were a huge compromise on safety of the dancers just for the sake of aesthetics in my opinion!
I totally agree! and I didn't even think of it when I was watching the dance on TV I only thought of it while criticizing this video!
I was nervous for them when I first saw those petals, and surprised it was allowed. Beautiful dance though!
I think you can just see the control and quality of movement in kalani’s dancing that comes from ballet training. I think maddie is an incredible dancer in her own ways, but she doesn’t quite have that full control and understanding of her body that I find so captivating in kalani
idk why but i felt like in all gods creatures she would rush the movments, like the joffery ballet school teacher said, and I kind of feel like she sometimes rushes the movments, and insted of being fluent like kalani stops and then goes to the next movment rather then finishing it off and connenting them
I agree she is not as controlled as Kalani or Elli
I disagree
thats a very abby/ aldc type of dancing style so im not surprised she does that!
I'm obsessed with dance moms too. I never use to dance until I started watching the show. Watching the show gave me the passion to join a dance team and to try new styles and moves.
Eeeeeek I don't know why those safety pins look more painful than a regular earring but they do lol
Lol ! probably cause cheap metal? hahaha.
@@JordanJSparks I think you should get a p.o.box where we can send you earring alternatives! Cuz besides the pain inducing pin earrings the make up and the hair are looking amazing!
Is it just me or is he like another James Charles, especially with his talent for makeup and the iCoNiC safety pin earring?
Hattie Meehan Lol thank you, my earrings were inspired by James
I dont know who that is lol
I really felt the emotion from blush and bashful. It is one of my favorite numbers
I loved Blush and Bashful, there is emotion there, I just didn't feel like it was any kind of story that changed my life in any way
Hi can you react to worst group dances
Maddies dance gods creature, the way she did the side aerial from her knee is actually the way i got my side aerial for the first time
Gingy insert it makes sure you USE all your strength but it’s the hardest way lol
@@JordanJSparks yeah, i hurt my ankle
One Maddie dance which brought me close too tears was the hostage, the way she executed that dance was insane her technique shone through season 4 but right from season 1 of dance moms Maddie had fantastic facial execution even Caesar saw that back in stars collide season 1. The hostage and all gods creatures are my absolute favourite.
I absolutely agree! The hostage was such a great performance. Those are my 2 favorites from her too. And leaving Berlin.
Did u know this shocking fact Brooke was actually Abby's favorite because of how flexible she was
I love your channel! I sometimes re-watch your videos because you are so articulate in expressing your opinion as a Dance Coach and as a viewer like us. But you do it with such professionalism and kindness and compassion, that your videos feel like a comfort viewing, and its been 4 years since this one!
Wanted to add that: Post-Dance Moms and with all the flow of information that we now have (from all cast members coming forward with information, including Abby), I would like comment that we can safely state that Maddie definitely was favored. Yes, she has something special and is talented in dance and performing. But she was also given extra time for rehearsal, she was put up front and center most of the time, her wins were celebrated by her teacher, she got continuous praise when she did things right and when she messed up or was upset she was consoled by Abby. With the years, Abby has admitted that Melissa pulled Maddie away from school in secret to give her time to learn her solos and parts of the group dances. This has been confirmed by other cast members. She didn't learn her choreography by osmosis, she was just given extra time to learn the steps AND thus the chance to put in the emotional performance that made her win awards and audiences. The rest of the kids had to conform with whatever little time they were given by production to rehearse and added to that, they had to battle with their lack of self-confidence resulting from Abby's bullying.
Abby is super entitled in her interview (she even expects Maddie to apologize to HER) but she speaks about the rehearsal time here (min 21-23):
th-cam.com/video/kMZq6rR9yCY/w-d-xo.html
Also, this is a video from MackZBoss, where she puts together evidence from cast's declaration and how rehearsals influenced in the dancers' success:
th-cam.com/video/VbnCkRlUGuk/w-d-xo.html
That being said, it doesn't take away from Maddie's talent and her hard work, AT ALL. Nor does it negate that she was emotionally abused by Abby just as much as the other girls, with the added pressure of being the favorite and expected to live up to that. But she definitely had a leg up in comparison to the other girls.
no one:
literally nobody:
not a single soul:

I think the petals in blush and bashfull bring the wow effect, that helped achieve perfect score. As much as I hate working with petals on stage, because they are unpredictable, i have to admit they look gorgeous and if you add them to good timing af the performers, they look incredible.
Wow you are so professional. I can't even believe you can look at a dance and know everything about it. 💗
Kalani is such a great dancer!
I think your thumbnail was quite disrespectful considering Chloe wasn’t even in this video.
she has no perfect dances though?
There was one other perfect score dance on dance moms. It’s called machine lines and it was a Cadc group dance. It was actually the first perfect score dance on the show but literally everyone has forgotten that. 😂
Didn't Blake McGrath choreograph that?
Btw the intro was phenomenal top notch and your makeup was slaying keep doing you 💕
thank you KiKi!
Jordan Sparks not a problem
Darl that eye make up is to die for LOVING it x
thank you! this was my first time ever trying a cut crease
@@JordanJSparks looks amazing you can't tell it was the first time
11:08 IF THAT AIN'T THE TRUTH. So many Dance Moms fans DON'T GET IT. Yes, many of the other girls were beautiful dancers but they didn't execute each dance like Maddie did. You could compare directly in group dances. If you watch the same group dance over and over again, each time focusing on a different dancer, you will see that Maddie does the same EXACT move in a way that gives it something.
I thought Blush & Bashful was breath taking. Kalani was incredible. As for Jane, the other blonde, my guess is that she was production's idea. They probably did it for drama.
brought me to tears with this dance
Hey Jordan just wanted to let you know that I think that your makeup and hair are beautiful and I love your videos so so soooooooo much! 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you so much!!
Awww your welcome!😊
I loved this video ! There is really one dance I regret didn't have a perfect score, it's Brynn 's Botched. I discovered her with this dance and it was so powerful I actually cried. I really love this number and I regret most of her other dances weren't as good on the show...
I love ur vids u always make me smile!♥️✨
I love your hair! I have naturally red hair and it’s nice to see that red hair can be beautiful too lol
omg naturally red hair is the prettiest!
word of the day: *Organic*
😂❤️
the MOST important word when it comes to ANY kind of art! don't Forget it! Make it the word of EVERYDAY.
Jordan Sparks OMG thank you for replying! I found your channel yesterday and subscribed today 😁
At the end of blush and bashful, am I the only one who is in love with Kalanis and twinkle thing...❤️
Blush and Bashful makes me feel something! I have no idea what it is but it reaches something inside me that the every other dance on dance moms do not
Can we hear your song love light? I saw Kalani in an airport in Vegas and I was so excited that I just cried and couldn’t talk.Kalani was gracious and humble.I just love her.
of course! I was singing it yesterday! I'll record it for you guys. Awe thats so cute!
Love u Jordan!💖
Love you too
That thumbnail triggered meee
LOl she wasn't even in the video :P Love her though
Same
Loved the video! Also love how you’ve been experimenting with Makeup, stunningggg
thank you!
I swear one day I will look as fierce as u. You look AMAZING
OML YOUR VOICE IS BOOTAFUL!
There is actually a number the candy apples did in season three that got a perfect score it was called Machine Lines.
For me Kalani was the best dancer that abby have in the show... she have all packet... and she never stops her evolution... watch her dance make me feel good.
Your eyeshadow is slaying! 😂💕
thank you so much! I literally just painted my entire face like camo in blotchy ugliness to test which colours look best on my skin tone right now hahahah
Jordan Sparks lolll me though 😂
lmfao I wish I could reply with a photo. I'm a mess hahaha.
One of my favorite things about blush and bashful is how strong nia looks walking off the stage
You remind me of a gender bend of Ariel and I'm obsessed with it. Killin it
omg um hi okay I seeeeee you. Best compliment of ever, so I'm just gonna keep that forever close to heart. I did an Arial impression at the beginning of one of my videos once, singing into the Frozen microphone I bought from the dollar store kids section lol
@@JordanJSparks that's everything I love that ❤
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, but, I am truly confused.
Everyone has the right to live life,as they please.
That being said, if someone is into full face makeup. . .
Why keep the moustache ?
Seriously, I am confused.
This is NOT an attack.
I am curious, and, would really like it, if someone who has a legitimate answer, would respond.
well since it's my face I'm the only person that can answer that for you, and because I am a MAN . I am not trying to look like a Woman or Do Drag. I am simply wearing makeup on my eyes because I want to. It's really that simple lol.
@@Deborah-kz1bv well he just wants to look how he sees is his best :) thank you for being respectful.
Also I love your look, keep killin it lmao (Jordan)
In Blush and Bashful, the new girl was Jane. She was brought in to match Brynn in dances so she woukd "mirror" her as some would say. The moms complained about Brynn always getting the special part because she was the only blonde on the team. So Abby brought her in so they couldn't say that.
Fragile forest was clearly made for brooke hyland at first kalani killed it
HELLO!! BE MY DANCE CHOREOGRAPHER!! YOU SEEM SO FUN AND YOUR FEEDBACK IS ON POINT AND THE WORDS YOU USE ARE SO GOOD!
Thank you so much!!
Love the beginning lol 😂 and your makeup
I so agree with you about Maddie... when I watched all god's creatures I cried. It was breathtaking
Keep in mind that they do the dances twice, one for filming and one for judging. They could have done it a lot better in their one for the judges.
Also, I totally agree about Maddie!
I felt the same about blush and bashful, I would of loved to of seen is there still hope get a perfect score xx
OMG your hair I so love it
thanks James!! It was a little crazy... lol
@@JordanJSparks what was the color?
I’m getting the feeling that you like Kalani
of course, I like all the girls!
omg I'm literally obsessed with your channel!! I was maybe wondering if you could react to 'The Dance Awards New York - Junior Best Dance Off 2015' I loved Maddie's improv and the other girls were beautiful as well, I'd love to see your reactions.
thank you! I could possibly react to that one!
Ugh omg Fragile forest is literally so fluid and easy she is amazing 😍
Does everyone forget that "Up's and downs" had a perfect score
I like Maddie’s dancing in All Gods Creatures but I freaking hate the song. I don’t know why but I just do.....
all god's creatures gives me chills everytime i see it
I love your singing at the beginning 😍
My fav perfect score dance is All God's Creatures
thank you Sarah!
Btw... I think that YOU'RE an inspiration for us to feel free to be ourselves. You're amazing and beautiful so thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts with us
thank you Shaunda that means alot to me
If you ever react to more of Chloe's solos, I found out today that she got a 298.9 for "Wreck It."
that was my favourite solo of Chloe''s . If I recall correctly she received other awards for this dance but I remember best costume- head to toe
heavenlybl1ss heavenlyb1ss
Beautiful from head to toe Judges award 🥇
I know everyone always says Maddie is the best on the team but personally I enjoy watching Nia and Chloe more.IDK why
Love love the new hair & make up vibe
thank you!
Blush and bashful was about them getting forced into marriages and kalani was the one person who resisted
Well, we know what Abby SAYS the dances are about, but if you watch the dance without hearing that, and you can't figure it out, then it doesn't get conveyed properly somehow.
The Investment by Kalani is my most favourite dance to date, and I think Alexa is a better choreographer for her than Abby as she does push her
The blonde girl in Blush and Bashful is Jane and she was added for Brynn to have an opposite. Abby added Jane so Brynn being blonde would have a similar opposite because Kendall and kalani we closes looks wise which is why she didn't just have Kendall and Brynn opposites then
You forgot UPS and Downs that was also a perfect score.
Well you could bet that but the awards says it was perfect so you’d lose your moneyx
Umm they said there were a couple points away from a perfect score
Gymnast 27 I agree they were just a few points away from a perfect score
ummmm vivvi annes bee solo should deserve the most perfect score, it was amazing
Mackenzie Birrell yes it should have 😂 all of hers even is she just stood there on the stage that’s the best dance ever 😂
not the brynn slander 😩😩
Can you plz reacte to viviane and her bee solo shes so funny
Anyone here after Lilly’s perfect score?
It makes me sad that people say their not good dancers and they only win because of fame, like hello!? Have you ever tried to do at least half of they things they do, plus the hours they put in plus the school work they do and look pretty doing it 😂
SSSA and All God's Creatures give me chills
I’m surprised you didn’t have any technical corrections for maddie
right especially considering there were so many
I really enjoyed this video and your reaction to it. It makes me really happy that DMS inspired you because l really thought it was amazing. Some of Abby's choreo that made you stop and think was stunning. I tjought Chloe's solo Please and Inside of me, Silence, Dream on a Star and Lucky Star should have been perfect, but you would know more about that than l. Could you please do a video of those and your reaction to them? I would really love that. I haven't been subscribed to you for all that long, l just ran into yo recently but now l'm hooked. Great video! ✨💫🌟✨💫🌟✨
And Seeing Red.... god that one just takes my breath away every single time, though I can't decide between the regular episode version and the reunion episode version.
Love his voice
mine!? thank you so much awe 🥺🥺
@@JordanJSparks yes!!! Its so calming and soothing. I actually play your videos to fall asleep, its like a lullaby for adults!!!!
OMG DID ANYONE NOTICE HIS AMAZING VOICE
awe thank you darling!
For me, Kalani is the best dancer- but I feel that Maddie is the best ACTOR. She just has such a gift for emotional execution. I love them both so much 😊
Why did you say Chloe was so bad on the cover when she wasn’t even in the video?
