These are only my favourites, so please respect my opinion. Since this show is all about being able to perform in different styles, that was my main criteria in making this ranking. I know some big favourites, including winners, are missing but it's because they weren't that versatile. No matter how amazing they are in their own style. Please comment down below with your favourites. P.S. I don't know why I said that Gaby is the only tap winner, I totally forgot about Lex when I wrote that.
Maybe you can do your Top 10 favorite Couples from SYTYCD one day 😁😁😁😁 so many amazing partnerships to choose from like Brandon/Janette, Melanie/Marko, Katee/Joshua, Amy/Fik-Shun, Ricky/Valerie, Kida/Fik-Shun etc
Respect your opinion! Gaby is probably my favorite, followed by Allison (she's SO GOOD in ballroom and the judges gushed about how versatile she was all the time), Pasha, Benji, Travis, Billy Bell, Jeanine, Evan, Kathryn, Alex Wong, Melanie, Lex and Ade.
For me, Danny Tidwell was the all-time greatest ever to appear on SYTYCD. He danced with every part of his body down to his fingertips. He made everything look effortless.
I would've added Melanie Moore, Jasmine Harper, Marko Germar, Robert Roldan, Alex Wong, and Mark Kanemura to my list. I loved Gaby, Lauren, Lex, Allison, Travis, and Jeanine.
GREAT Video and hard to dispute your selects. That said, we ALL have our favorites and my top, all time "STAR" has to be Melanie Moore. Charisma and her impact on the overall show are unrivaled. Close second for me would be Fikshun who was not as complete or as trained as many of your top 25, but again, charisma and star-quality mean so much on this show. Last mention and is of course the most beautiful and mesmerizing dancer I feel on the series, Kathryn.
Seeing THE Miss Ellenore Scott on the list is pretty much well-deserved, I would think. Like how the fuck did she manage to survive that wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen at the Argentine Tango routine (great choreography BTW)
I agree with a lot of these. I love that you didn’t overlook Lacey and Lauren. They are both amazing! The only real big disappointment was no Alex. I know he had to leave early, but I have no doubt he would have won had he not gotten injured. Great list though! Couples next?!?
Alex getting injured was a tragedy and he probably would’ve made it to the finals if he didn’t get injured. But it seemed like the judges were pushing for him to win before his injury even though he was good. I’m glad Lauren ended up winning though, she was the whole package. It would’ve been nice to see Alex & Lauren dance together if he didn’t get injured, they would’ve been epic
I want you to know that I really appreciate your videos. I got into Sytycd late so I have not recorded any season. I miss this show and wish I could own all the seasons (I know copyright prevents it but I can wish).
I totally agree that Danny or Lacey shouldve won season 3, Ive always said I think they got screwed because it was time for a female winner and they couldnt have Lacey win right after Benji won. Nothing against Sabra of course she was amazing but Danny and Lacey are just some of the greatest ever.
Lacey is talented and versatile but something about her personality rubs me the wrong way. In 2007 during the SYTYCD tour she posted a blog on MySpace telling a story about how Lauren was abusive to her and how they had a feud. If that story is true I lost all my respect for both Lauren & Lacey and it shows that Lacey was petty for posting about her feud on the internet. Sabra was a deserving winner and she was the original Jeanine/Kathryn
Lex Ishimoto should be in the top 3 dancers on SYTYCD. Even though, he wasn't too great at ballroom, he put up amazing performances on both of his ballroom dancing. Even Nigel Lythgoe said that Lex was a great all-around dancer. Ballroom dancing needs two people to perform and it is hard to judge individual performances based on it. When it comes to individual performances, Lex is second to none.
Brandon....ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! Kayla , my favourite routine of ALL time with Kapono!!!! that routine really just grabs me... OVERALL for me season 5 had the best overall group...
I'm just rewatching this and decided to comment. Of the 'non-winners', my favorites are Danny, Will, Billy, Janette, Allison and Koine. I was so sad when Will, Billy, Janette and Allison didn't even make it to the Top 4.
Jaimie Goodwin is one of the best contemporary girls the shows ever had, I’d give her an honorable mention at least. There’s a reason they brought her back as an all star a lot
Jeanine actually did a good job at ballroom even if her partners didn’t do that well. If she had a ballroom dancer as a partner to do ballroom I’m sure it would’ve been a standout routine
A great list and some awesome dancers. Alex, Robert Roldan, Eliana, Melanie, Makenzie, Lauren Gottlieb, and Marko would be in my top 25. Lex would be in my top 5.
Courtney Galiano should be on here, she was charismatic and a good dancer, and she was very versatile. She got a lot of routines outside her comfort zone whereas Katee got her style a lot.
There have been soo many great dancers on SYTYCD you can't go wrong with any of them. I will say some winners were surprises but when you remember that SYTYCD is about America's Favorite Dancer so technique alone won't win it for you it makes sense.
Billy Bell was going to be paired with Pauline Mata in season 6 before he had an illness and had to drop out of the competition. He did well in season 7 but if he didn’t get sick in season 6 him & Pauline would’ve been unstoppable and versatile and they both most likely would’ve made it to the top 10
If memory serves me, your #2 pick - season 12 winner Gabby - had to audition twice (i.e. in two different cities) 'cause there were no audition-callbacks that year. Changing subjects, I'm surprised Melony didn't make your top 25.
I agreed with almost your whole list until you got til the top 4. Lacey Schwimmer top 4? She doesn't even make top 25 for me. Not a chance. And Brandon as your #1? noooooo way

@@trinibwoy27 I was really thinking about doing something like that actually, when I have time.

Robert Roldan, jeena jhonson must be in the 25 and makenzie may be there too

I miss SYTYCD so much. I always loved Twitch. 😍
Nice summaries of your assessments. Very enjoyable!
Eliana Girard is my favorite. I just wish there was room for her but your picks are good
GREAT Video and hard to dispute your selects. That said, we ALL have our favorites and my top, all time "STAR" has to be Melanie Moore. Charisma and her impact on the overall show are unrivaled.

Hard to choose between all the fabulous dancers that appeared...some really wonderful performances..thanks for posting
Absolutely phenomenal list! I agree with so many of your choices and you've shown me some earlier season dancers I wasn't familiar with, so thank you!
Nice compilation! Danny not at #1 is a crime and Sabra not on the list?!?!? Wil & Brandon & Lex…. I can never get enough of watching them
Seeing THE Miss Ellenore Scott on the list is pretty much well-deserved, I would think. Like how the fuck did she manage to survive that wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen at the Argentine Tango routine (great choreography BTW)

I plan on doing a couples video soon :)

I like your choices but Danny Tidwell and Travis Wall are some of the best of all time. They would have been #2 & #1
Dany was something else,especially in ballroom!Rip.
I want you to know that I really appreciate your videos. I got into Sytycd late so I have not recorded any season. I miss this show and wish I could own all the seasons (I know copyright prevents it but I can wish).
The fact that Melanie Moore didn’t make this list is an actual crime (but I did like your choices otherwise)
She's incredible in her style but she wasn't versatile enough, in my opinion
Couldn't agree more.
Lex belongs in the top five
OMG THANK YOU!!!!! I agree sooo much, Gino DEFINITELY should have won. He was my favorite, but I also love Bailey and Mariah too.
Still to this day can't believe Jakob didn't win his season.
I agree 👍 100%. I think there have been a few seasons where the right person didn't win, IMO only, but yeah - Jakob should've won.
I totally agree that Danny or Lacey shouldve won season 3, Ive always said I think they got screwed because it was time for a female winner and they couldnt have Lacey win right after Benji won. Nothing against Sabra of course she was amazing but Danny and Lacey are just some of the greatest ever.

I agree with your list, but Alex Wong deserves a spot in this list I guess.
I was with you most of the way until Melanie was not top 5, Alex wasn't in the list, and Mark didn't at least get an honorable mention.
I don’t remember what her last name is but Melanie???? She won her season? Anyway she should defs be added to this list
Kathryn McCormick is one of the best contemporary girls the shows ever had and plus she was versatile too!
Brandon....ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! Kayla , my favourite routine of ALL time with Kapono!!!! that routine really just grabs me... OVERALL for me season 5 had the best overall group...

Blake McGrath isn't a top 25? He was probably the best dancer in S1 but they didn't want him to win for obvious reasons.
Jenna? Witney? Jazmine? Blake?
Yes!
..INCRÍVEL..........ESPETACULAR..........
No one in season 17 could come close to any of these. This year is SO horrible it's embarrassing.
It makes me sad. I just wish we could stream the old seasons somewhere, tbh. I want to revisit some of my favorites' journeys.
@@drpepper51187 that would be fantastic!
Justice for Melanie Moore! LOL.
Wait a minute Twitch wasn’t on this list nor Joshua season 3 winner? 🤯🤯🤔🤔🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I would add tWitch, Amy Yakima, and Alex Wong!
No Melanie Moore! Any SYTYCD best without her is incomplete.
If memory serves me, your #2 pick - season 12 winner Gabby - had to audition twice (i.e. in two different cities) 'cause there were no audition-callbacks that year. Changing subjects, I'm surprised Melony didn't make your top 25.
Jeanine best soloist? Absolutely love her and agree with her winning season 5 but ALison Holker had the best solos and it's not even close
No anya and pasha
NEIL HASKELL?
i dont agree but i love your choices
I agreed with almost your whole list until you got til the top 4. Lacey Schwimmer top 4? She doesn't even make top 25 for me. Not a chance.
And Brandon as your #1? noooooo way
Freaking weird choices for top 2
Lex at 20? BOOO
i dont agree but i love your choices
