I feel like that was the problem with this dance. Yes lily’s back flexibility is absolutely gorgeous, but it was way overused in this dance. I didn’t really flow at all in the beginning or middle, and a lot of it was just repeating variations of the same tricks. Lily’s a great dancer but the choreography for this dance just wasn’t it😕.
Everyone is saying this solo doesn’t meet there expectations for lily. Am I the only one that loves this choreography, the theme, and I think it was executed well? This solo is underrated.
@@amelie4624 The theme, basically the main idea of the dance! The story/interpretation you the viewer is getting out of it! (Look up the definition of “Theme” for further information!)
Black widow would have been a great routine for nationals. I love Lily and her tricks but this choreo and outfit just seemed better suited for a tryout with Cirque de Soleil than a dance competition.
Acro as in like tumbles, she is just doing lots of flexibility, acro is like round off back flips, I know because I am a competitive gymnast, this routine is not acro.
This is quite bad choreography for nationals... Pretty much just tricks on tricks with no actual flow or artistry, she is capable of so much more. Having her do 15 leg holds/extensions in less than 3 minutes? Why!?
Kavon - That was an incredibly difficult solo. I can’t think of any dancer who could have executed this choreography with that level of technique, flexibility, acrobatics, and stage presence.
Wow..this routine is highly technical. The transitions are very difficult, and the amount of control she has is unbelievable. That may be your opinion, but coming from a dance background, I can assure you no teacher would agree with you.
That was an incredibly difficult solo. I can’t think of any dancer who could have executed this choreography with that level of technique, flexibility, acrobatics, and stage presence. She’s amazing👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i don’t know if it’s just me, but i felt like there should’ve been more dancing rather then acro, extensions, leaps. regardless though, lilly did an amazing job
This is a very hard solo. The level of technique and flexibility lily has is insane. Not many ppl can do a flexed leg extension 0:50 her control is amazing here as well 0:56. Her body flows perfeclty with the music and that is what dance is all about. Literally the front aerial is the easiest thing to do in this routine
@@bananajoe7365girl I swear stfu nobody is saying this isn’t a hard solo or that she didn’t do good, people are mad bc this is simple not a DANCE, it’s an acrobatic routine suited for a circus, I can assure you that this wouldn’t have won in any medium- advanced competition, because even if this is in the acrobatic category, 99% of judges are all against a full tricks- contortion dance, bc it’s not dancing, it’s like being an artistic gymnast and doing a literal gymnastics floor routine on a dance competition under the excuse of ‘acro’ category, ain’t no judge giving that 1st place. And lastly as a dancer myself, no, the front aerial is def not easiest thing in this dance, doing a develope a la seconde is way easier than that, you not even being able to name dance steps correctly tells me all about your mediocre dance education
thank you for this comment..!!! easy to judge for some ppl but modt of us cant do this...I loved this performance !! 🫶🏻 Btw I just found this vid and makes me feel so stiff 😅 Didnt know even about Dance Moms when it aired lol till few weeks I started to watch it haha... But everyone are entitled ofc to their opinion, I agree this one myself and I thought this was great solo !!! ✨💫😊💓🙏🏼
I think the choreography was a little lack luster for nationals... Edit: I know this sounds boring and cheesy but thanks for 500+ likes! I've never got that many.
El M I think choreography this season was a millions times better than previous seasons, but the solos still lack that wow-factor. The groups have been amazing.
Considering the calibre of Lilly's solos in season 8, the fact that this was her Nationals solo disappoints me. Same thing for Brady and Pressley considering for all 3 of them, their Nationals solo was their lowest placing solo for the season.
@@dance4melife227 Nope it is not natural, her mom made her dance at the youngest age possible (2). And her mom quit her job for Lilly to dance, her mom just really wanted a child that did dance so she tried really hard.
Comparing to Lilly at Age:10 & Mackenzie at Age:10 Lilly’s Solos are more mature than Mackenzie’s Solos. I was just wondering why Abby didn’t give Mackenzie a solo that was mature enough like Lilly.
Sorry for the pun but this seems like a really half-arsed idea. Like the paint job is cool looking but doesn’t connect to the song, or the choreography. You could put her in almost anything else with any other music and it wouldn’t really make any difference. Like it’s really disconnected.
Lilly is such a talented dancer, but I can't help missing dances that have more of a storyline, or at least an obvious emotion to pull out. I felt like this choreography was almost only trick and trick after trick... and while Lilly is amazing at tricks, she has matured so much with her acting this season, I wish we got to see more of that.
I love that strength that she has when raising her foot straight, she stays super good, Lilly did great, her flexibility is always good, the song and the choreography are great, 🥺💖💖
Lilly is an amazing dancer but I think that the whole cast are amazing in their own way. Lilly has the flexibility which is great, but I see a lot of reused choreography from her previous solos just in a different order. I get that it’s there because it’s what makes the dancer look good, but there’s so much more out there for her to do in a dance instead of the same creepy back tricks
Lilly is incredible! Like, people are saying stuff about it not being her best and choreography wasn't great, but the things she is able to do are mind blowing. I feel like i've not been using my own body to its full potential, you know? Mad respect for her skills.
i think the reason it didn't place higher is because it's mainly all tricks regarding flexibility because once you execute the first few tricks, the judges basically know what you're capable of already and now they just want to see more movement that aren't tricks
@@lacarantona i odnt think its a medical condition. i think her or her mom would say it in dance moms like how they said that she had growth problems but you might be right
I think Lilly is the best dancer on Dance Moms. She can dance very well in every style, ballet as well, she has more of a personality, and she is well raised, polite and respectful. She is just what Abby would want for a student, and you can see why. Next I would go with Chloe and Maddy because they could both do a lot of styles, but Chloe was just such an incredible ballet dancer, she should have done that full time.

Hi

OoOOOO
Aesthetically Roblox it was a suit . the suit covered her hair to make it look like she sprayed her hair but she did not .
they should’ve saved her straight jacket solo for nationals, that for sure would’ve won
Hi, i see you everywhereeee... 😉😉😉
No ID think so
Nope, this solo was better
@@redcowcat8705 how is this solo better?? She got a perfect score for the straight jacket solo for crying out loud.
Gabrielle Clarke So just cause she got a perfect score doesn’t mean it’s better than this one that didn’t
Her arch is so good it's slowly satisfying to me.
What arch?
Yes
I feel like that was the problem with this dance.

@@Dany-zv6ljthey’re not talking about her back, they’re talking about her feet
@@Sondergroundz 😶🌫️
The OG moms smiled when their kid was on stage, most of these moms are stone faced.
Stacey never smile.. Or not so often
Not the same
XCityOfClockWorkAngelX probably because they’re stressed out
XCityOfClockWorkAngelX honestly that’s just the producers and editing making it look how they want...
most importantly they smiled when each other's kids were on stage. You could always hear Melissa and Kelly yelling out support for all of them
Everyone is saying this solo doesn’t meet there expectations for lily. Am I the only one that loves this choreography, the theme, and I think it was executed well? This solo is underrated.
could you explain the deeper meaning of the theme to me? i don‘t get it.
@@amelie4624 The theme, basically the main idea of the dance! The story/interpretation you the viewer is getting out of it! (Look up the definition of “Theme” for further information!)
Its like someone fighting the inside of themselves. Or it can be seen as someone being a certain way on the outside but in the inside they are evil.
@@davidgandy_alt2970 theres no way ur being serious 💀
She did so many leg holds in 3 minutes lol. The costume is really cool though
Black widow would have been a great routine for nationals. I love Lily and her tricks but this choreo and outfit just seemed better suited for a tryout with Cirque de Soleil than a dance competition.
actually Lilly said she wants to be on Cirque the Soleil so I hope Lilly engoyed it XD
Judy B. Wait do you mean the avenger black widow
Hey There no Lilly did an unaired solo called Black Widow in episode 14
I know someone who’s in Cirque de Soleil
This is a very hard solo. The level of technique and flexibility lily has is insane.
Didn't Stacey say that she didn't want Lilly doing acro? Cause this is pure acro
Elliana Ziegler I think she meant the cheesy acro, like Mackenzie or Lilliana used to do.
Acro as in like tumbles, she is just doing lots of flexibility, acro is like round off back flips, I know because I am a competitive gymnast, this routine is not acro.
Sienna Aberdeen acrobatics can also be contortion moves. and yes this is an acrobatic routine
This is called a contortion routine
in the description: Watch Lilly's full acrobatic solo "Inside Out" in this clip from Season 8, Episode 16, "New York Nationals".
This is the type of music they should’ve gave hannah in her Hannibal solo.
Rida Khani omg yesss
Yessss
Rida Khani right!?
This is quite bad choreography for nationals... Pretty much just tricks on tricks with no actual flow or artistry, she is capable of so much more. Having her do 15 leg holds/extensions in less than 3 minutes? Why!?
This Is Abby's fault
okay it wasen't just leg extentions don't be be too much
@@missymani nope, the mothers's fualt
Ikr this solo is pretty repetitive :/ and it has no clear story
Mae Mae Nobody said it was just leg holds they said there were a lot of leg holds
Abby should have gave Lilly a harder solo
Yh shes capable of sooo much more and could of won
Kavon given*
Yes kavon u right
Agree,in this dance she was just repeating almost every move again. She’s capable of more than that
Kavon - That was an incredibly difficult solo. I can’t think of any dancer who could have executed this choreography with that level of technique, flexibility, acrobatics, and stage presence.
Lilly is too talented for this workout routine 😭
Edit: (don’t get pressed it’s not that deep)
it was acutally a really good choreo for Lillys level, she did a balled combination , a half fan and so many advanced turns!
Technically she was contorting more than dancing.
Wow..this routine is highly technical. The transitions are very difficult, and the amount of control she has is unbelievable. That may be your opinion, but coming from a dance background, I can assure you no teacher would agree with you.
@@kristenduru6360 hi

MultiFandom McDobs
And the duets have been fab. Munchausen by proxy was something else 🔥
This was practically just showing off how flexible Lilly is
This is a category called acro. It is a category used to show off tricks and flexibility (I’m a competitive dancer)
@@smplyprcyjacksn she knows, she was calling lily flexible
@@smplyprcyjacksnShe knows she is just saying lilly is rlly flexible

This coreo Is really great and hard actually
@@alejandrozamora3473 not for lilly
There is nothing harder than this for a 10 yr old

her flexibility is insane
Lilly has like no spine, HOW CAN A PERSON BE SO FLEXIBLE?!
Kim Nguyen Lilly is naturally flexible and also had to work to be that flexible
@@dance4melife227 Nope it is not natural, her mom made her dance at the youngest age possible (2). And her mom quit her job for Lilly to dance, her mom just really wanted a child that did dance so she tried really hard.
I did not like Stacey’s attitude in this season.
Same. I disliked Ashley's aswell.
Comparing to Lilly at Age:10 & Mackenzie at Age:10
Lilly’s Solos are more mature than Mackenzie’s Solos. I was just wondering why Abby didn’t give Mackenzie a solo that was mature enough like Lilly.
Bc The era where Kenzie was 10 and the era where Lilly was 10, dancing wasn’t took as serious, just like a hobby
I feel like GiaNina proved herself enough to get a solo at nationals
why’d they have her do so many extensions??? She’s capable of so much more
90% of people would have broken every bone in their body attempting this solo. Lilli needs more props.
Lily's solos ALWAYS Amaze me I love her so much 💖😭💘💘
Lilly’s dancing amazes us every week! Here’s a playlist of all of her dances (so far) on Dance Moms - bit.ly/34wRBKM
@@Lifetime ❤❤❤
She brought this dance to life. Killed it. Then brought it to life again.
Music: sCrEeEeEeEeEeEeE
Me: Oh god, somebody recorded me playing the recorder in 5th grade...
LOL
Wowie she is flexible
Can we just take about her facial expressions for a second
AMAZING
I feel like Lilly’s solos are always the same. Same tricks, same style... if you watch just one, it will be like you’ve seen all.
This is what i told hmmpp.... your right and im tired seeing this kind of choreo always the same and again and again💁
ShynnCat Brady.
She is givin bad choreo she is capable of a lot and I mean ALOT more so don't assume things you don't know. Don't always believe what u see on tv
@@Heartsfromcali Bradys dances just have to do with the fact that he's a boy surrounded by girls.
I’d like to see her actually dance. Yes we get it, she’s flexible.
Alex Lindsay Im a dancer and that’s actually a dance so shut up
@@dianabuzuk569 it's her opinion how about you shut up. Seriously can't take opinions well huh?
@@dianabuzuk569 rudeee
@@dianabuzuk569 and so am I and it's not all about doing tricks with your flexibility
It's more like artistic stretching than a dance.
Ok this so gets WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much hate! Her facials, technique and trick were unhuman like always I think this should have won
This is one of my all time favourite solos on dance moms. Lily is such a beautiful dancer , her technique is INSANE
I seriously swear this kid has no spine she’s sooo bendy!

The way she moves in this to match the music is insane to me
Wow she was so good! She deserved 1st.😓❤️
Totally agree
Who else’s actually liked this dance!
So many people are saying she would have done something else but I really like it
her flexibility was outstanding in this solo! OMG!

This straight up acro lmao

iiMarixsa- Roblox *costume
Yea it's like ummm

This little girl is amazing! Her control & flexibility is insane
I can only imagine how amazing she’ll be in a few more years
This is my favorite solo of hers. Incredible
the straight jacket solo would've been way better for nationals
Am glad it was the FULL dance
Ok this music makes me feel so uneasy tho XD
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE SONG IN THE DESCRIPTION!
So amazing Lilly! You’re so flexible🤩 you deserve first place 🥇! You’re amazing Lilly 💕
i think the reason it didn't place higher is because it's mainly all tricks regarding flexibility because once you execute the first few tricks, the judges basically know what you're capable of already and now they just want to see more movement that aren't tricks
She is truly outstanding!!!
That was a a looong and cool number but she nailed it !
Fourth? That's some tough competition! Her dance was amazing
She was 2nd in the Junior category
Valeria Lomeli she got second in her category and 4th overall
She’s an artist already..Lily is on her way to an amazing career
Wow she’s so talented- I wish I were that flexible
technique: 9/10
facials: 9.3/10
stamina: 10/10
musicality: 10/10
overall: 9.5
What even is the story in this solo it seams like she just doing a ton of tricks?
This is how much people love lily
Let's just say
WOW THE MAKEUP ARTIST OUTDONE THEMSELVES JEEZ
Whoever did her makeup is AMAZING 😉
lowkey she did the same moves over and over. she did amazing though
this solo should have gotten a higher score. it was amazing, lily did it PERFECTLY. it didnt deserve 4th it shouldve won.

This is not a dance, it is gymnastics
i wish she got to do a solo that had more dancing in it instead of it being mostly contortion

Pfft I was laughing so hard rn😂 when she did that first part😂
Literally no one:
Me watching this at 3 AM: 🤪🤯

This is like one of those weird but iconic dance moms solos
Is nobody going to talk about how creepy this dance was!
Ok are we forgetting that Lilly didn’t choreograph this? And she did and outstanding job! This solo is good! Stop hating it.
