The way he was praying then got answered and say “YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSS” was so satisfying to watch, he was genuinely happy for the kid
Fionn is a natural 👏🌟
Why I can’t just go to sleep. Instead of that I just sit here drunk and crying because this little boy danced his little heart out with such grace omg
I can see some people in the comments critiquing his dancing, and then lots of people telling them to “give him a break” or “he’s only 9”
Frankly, as a dancer, critiquing is a really good thing at any age, because it will allow you to push yourself to be the best you can be, rather than taking the patronising “you’re doing great sweetie” and settling for ok
I agree I posted a comment saying he was great and pointed out both good and bad critiques and have got nothing but hate, people need to learn every dancer knows getting critiques is good as people want them to do better and to constantly improve. Xx
survivor of the important videos playlist h Yes but leave that to his dance coach he doesn’t need unasked for critiques just be positive he done amazing
I'm sure he gets plenty of constructive critiques from his actual dance teachers. No one asked folks in the comments to give performers instructions. It has nothing to do with helping him it's just random strangers in the comment taking the opportunity to be critical of someone doing something they can't.
Platypus Rising no we’re honest and say what we see. He’s not gonna read these comments bu5 maybe someone who can’t afford dance might and don’t you think it’s nice to help our fellow dancers out. I’m not gonna comment saying how great he was cos what’s the point, we can clearly see that! I would rather not lie and comment something useful
Absolutely beautiful.. Love how the host of the show screamed into the mic “YASS!” when it hit 75% 😆
Hes got a natural stage presence very good ability and hes very sweet he will dance for a living
UK should really copy Korea and Japan's format for talent shows. In Korea, they never cut the talent's moment, director will ALWAYS show the contestant on screen. Then they will put a mini video around the corner to show the reaction of the Judges and audiences. Just take a look at this video right here. I'd say 40% of the actual time is the viewers seeing cringey scripted reactions of Judges.
I know... But here in the UK the producers make it as dramatic as possible...
@@y-09 The sidebar reactions are more dramatic. Korean and Japanese shows are the best
Here’s my opinion and I hope you don’t get mad at me. Each country or producer has a different style on how they make shows.
I don’t think all the judges reactions are for cameras. Matthew Morrison isn’t always bowled over by the acts- he’s kind but not standing up during the performance.
I have never seen a korean show with the judge's reactions in the corner. for all the korean talent competitions i've watched, they show the judges and audience reactions too much and their reactions are over the top
I literally felt that dancing in my soul, i had chills all over my body. You go, boy! 👌🏼
THIS BOY IS INCREDIBLE!!!!HE IS ONLY 9????????😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
He is simply the best!
OMFG - he's amazing but OMFG it's SOOOOOOO annoying when they cut to the judges reacting rather than seeing the dance!!!!
I know! Why can't they put a little window in the bottom corner showing the judges' reactions so we can still see the entire dance uninterrupted?
It’s the audience comments that bug me...
Reminds me of Lewis smith and Flávia in strictly.
Well done xx 😚
I agree. I wanted to watch his entire performance uninterrupted with no camera shots to judges nor the audience.
Far too much cutting away from the performance. Is there a full version of this dance without the judges, family etc? I would love to see it if the editors still have the full performance.
Jordan's reaction was the best part of this audition
He was so amazing
OMG, he's fabulous!
He's so awesome ❤
He is genious
Proud he’s Irish. Amazing dancer for age 9 and so sweet my heart 💔
Fion You Are A Champion , i wish you the greatest of success all the way from Australia :-)
Amazing!
That was so awesome it made me cry!!!❤
Bravo young man!! 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️
HES SOOOO GOOD!!!!😍🤤
Impressive little boy hugs
1 millionth view !!!
what is the title of the song?
seems it is cold play song...
Nway he's doing great God bless
Take That - Rule the World
Gymnastics.
my friend goes to his dancing ahah
3:54 whats his name in tears.
Class
how does this show work
My name is FIONa
I WANT a relationship like that with my future kid.
Abby lee miller would be like “TuRN OuT ThAt LeG” 😂
rana pipien OH MY WORD 😂 took me a second to get it but lol
rana pipien that prison joke tho I’m shook
Abby lee miller...are you kidding? That reality woman is a sloppy joke. When she can't even manage her own life...please.
James Slusher she is actually a lovely person she just acted mean for the cameras obviously, in real life she was like a second mother to the girls it’s a shame that she has cancer but she’s fighting through it like she taught the aldc girls to never give up so back off because you really can’t judge a person who you have never met
@@jimmysaks100 lmao it as a joke dude
WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW, this lad is NINE years old and excels in moves most well trained dancers just dream of. What can I say but /kowtow
Contemporary dance is the best form of expression
i'd say it was mime
ok forget about ballet, lyrical, jazz etc
Indeed love it!
true
This type of dancing SUCKS and looks fake. They always do the same moves over and over with that stupid look on their face.
Amazing to see the potential of children when parents really rally behind and support them. Absolutely beautiful.
That's what our kids need!
Well said, Carlos. The boy looks for all the world like he's in love with dance. And to see his family supporting him that way really lifts my heart. They're all just beautiful!
Bless that beautiful child, he was truly dancing his heart out. And I loved seeing the family's pride... what a treat to watch!
One of our Celtic heroes was FIONN Mac Cool! So thumbs up for all that agree Fionn lived up to his legacy!
Im not crying you’re crying
Geri Ramirez No you’re crying I’m just allergic
sure i am
Me either lol
💁 damn you 😭😭😭
who's cutting onions??
Is frozen really that old😱
Isabelle Lewis hooooly shit six years ago???? mate how what when did those years happen exactly??
Omg! 😱 SIX YEARS?!?!?
The song is from Stardust.
He stated on Ireland's got talent last year he had been dancing since he was 6.
Omfg 6 yrs???? What???
Oh my wasnt he just Brilliant. The joy on his face while he was dancing just shone through. Fabulous dancer.
Who ever said abbly lee dance company had all the best dancers lied.......
Bubbles 34 Nobody did. There’s no studio called abbly lee dance company
abby lee doesn't have dancers... she has gymnasts doing some dance moves.
oh my gosh if you want to see good dancer, search up Joshua Williams and Lewis Shilvock on Instagram (they go to Dance Force)
Jessica yes!!! I never said they were the best I’m just saying that those boys are really good as well! 🤩
Bubbles 34 don’t think anyone said that😂
why this boy is not in top 9.
Sajid Ali his technique needed a lot of work.
Now that's what they call talent! I hope his parents send him to a top notch full-time ballet school so his technique can improve. It's impressive what he does, but there needs to be a lot more focus on the finishing (like the toes, pirouettes, etc.) With the right education this boy could become a top-notch professional dancer at a renowned company.
We're behind you all the way Fionn, you did your country proud 😊🇮🇪
He gave his mother his confidence.
I loved the performance..... and am really not sure where people are getting ANYTHING as to Fionn's sexual orientation from this DANCE video.. or, if his father is 'nowhere to be found'... (perhaps the very jubilant man reaching for him near the end of the video, when he ran to his family is the father... hmmn.. a thought) but really people... who the hell cares in the context of this video.. this show..? his dance (and yes, it *is* dance, and not gymnastics) was lovely.. joyful and heartfelt and *that* is what matters.. not whether or not in a few years he will introduce his boyfriend to mum... good grief people.. why so much negativity when it is so much easier and productive to be pleasant and uplifting? There was NO mention of his gender identification, nothing to base an opinion of whether his mother finally got the daughter she had always wanted (ummn.. Fionn has two very visible sisters, so wtf is with that comment? did you watch the video.. or just skim comments and respond without thought?) or whether or not there is a father present..
He is performing, doing what he loves.. and what he has insofar as physiological body.. does.. not... matter.... if he presents as a boy, his mother talks about her son.. they accept him as a boy, then why extrapolate all this crap when it isn't required? I often wonder if people use these comment sections to simply try to validate their own lives or something equally as silly.. instead of what i presume is the purpose for them.. and comment on the actual video..... *sigh people are sooooo strange....
And to those who will likely bash at me for being a 'hearts and rainbows bunnies and sunshine bleeding heart sap' I am far from that.. just don't see the point in being ignorant when there is no need
*as an aside, the term BOTTOM in the making.. (and yes, highly inappropriate here) is not meant as a perverse note.. but to coin a term from BDSM meaning submissive... not a pedophile comment.... either way.. not required or appropriate for this scenario
You worry too much love...
@@johntripp5159 lol *I* do? ummmn.. not sure where you get that, but my comment was (pretty clearly I thought hehe) more about everyone else commenting on the boy being gay, without a dad.. blah blah blah.. and absolutely nothing in the video stated nothing of either.. AND.. that there is a man reaching to hug him at the end that quite possibly could be his father.. personally, I had wondered why everyone else seemed so concerned with his sexual orientation.. lol very odd comment
@@johntripp5159 And you obviously not enough.
Holly P I don't think anyone else could write a paragraph to explain better then this how long did it take you
@@saoirselove1342 literally... three minutes.. his DANCE... his heart.. is amazing, that *that* (and the obvious love & support from his family) is what should be commented on and/or noticed here :)
Absolutely amazing little boy. Well done ffion 💞 we need more live in the world like this not hate! Xx
More live?!? 🤔😳😨
More love lol
Remember him from Ireland's Got Talent...
He's so lovely!! Must protect!!
hes such a lovely young man omg!!!! hes so sweet!!!
Billy Elliot nice one lovely wicked 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
How could anyone dislike his performance?!!
Ndiscreet76 I feel it’s because of the level of this competition and he had very poor technique. In his jumps his legs should have been straight out and his were very crooked.
Wonderful Fionn - Here's to a Life of Dance!
Oh my goodness, Fionn, you are only nine years old? You have the world of dance at your feet. That was truly fabulous. ❤️
Aaaawwww he's so sweet. I want a son like that.
thought you lot didn't like gays ?
I don't care about his sexuality. It is a blessing to have a well mannered and sweet child like that. Hats off to his parents.
Y would you assume his sexuality
Me tooooooooo
camelpissflavour I wouldn’t care if my son was gay.
I think Jordan was the most excited
I read some rude comments..
Why is it a problem if someone is gay/lesbian?
If you can't accept someone for being like that why not see them as a person? Or see them as a human with flesh and bone just like us? .
I feel bad that there is such country who spread hates just because someone is different.
Nobody has said shit, you just want likes.
Beside why would I want likes? It's not like I'm gonna gain something from it .
What would i gain with this "likes" you're talking about? I am not asking for it and stop attacking people just because you don't like their opinion.
I get what you r saying and I agree but a country I don't think so, people in the UK can be accepting
@@Blue-cr5ym I apologize.. I guess my English is really bad 😆 .. i don't mean to say the UK .. but i know some country that really hate them .. like the country I'm in now.. someone was disowned by their father just because he's gay. Then at the street last year i saw some rude people scraping the sticker and breaking the windshield of random people just because they have rainbow sticker on their car.
Stunning so well done Fionn 🇮🇪🇮🇪👑Sligo abu
Qtrf Dear Ramona, Debbie Dear Ramona, Debbie Dear Ramona, Debbie Dear Ramona, Debbie Dear Ramona,
Explanation
Im a girl and im your age you are amazing you inspided me to go on now so thankyou x
Very cute ! I’m crying! Only criticism is he needs to turn out through his hips and also correct his sickled feet
Katie Abby-Rose he had poor technique all around.
This brought me in tears. I never knew that dancing can this be emotional.
4:31 that jump shocked me!
He’s soooo adorable! ❤️❤️Very talented
Riptide😁💝
I love that song
What a lovely boy! He has talent for sure. He's got the most adorable set of elfin ears too, at that. Well done , Fionn! May all your dreams come true!
what a moment for a 9 year old!
How did this kid not end up in the finals??? I just don't understand it :(
I mean yes,great you let him thru..but not the Russian Dancer?!?!? I'm 😕 confused
Wise words for life .. "and if i tried my best I will be happy with myself no matter what"
He Lives Near Me And My Old Childminder Knows Him
This young talented dancer, entered Ireland Got Talent (Louis Walsh was one of the Judges) and the young man mentioned being bullied because he loved to dance. In that show he danced to the song Never Enough from The Greatest Showman. It brought a few tears to my eyes. So did this dance.
It is a shame that he is picked on by his peers, but you can tell he has a determination that will allow him to achieve his goal. He is the Billy Elliot of Ireland!!!
Fionn you are amazing don't listen to any of the mean comments
What happened? Didn't see him even mentioned at the call-backs. The judges seem to have favored the acts they saw last...
He is 9 and living in a smallish town in Ireland so only has access to whatever dance school is in the locality.His Mother, two sisters and Father are in the audience, it's just the Mother chose to speak to camera. He is polite, articulate and has a raw talent.. why are people wanting to label him? He is a child.
When he told his mom he loved her from the stage then ran up to her and they hugged had to be one of the best moments I’ve ever seen. So raw and beautiful. He was amazing!
Love that all of these seasoned professionals have taken the time out of their schedules to critique a kid 😂
Liam Healy it’s a national championship so at this level technique needs to be spot on.
1:00
And the award for most dedicated host goes to...
😭😭 that was just beautiful
He’s got potential but not ready for this at 9. Has to work on solid technique.
This gave me goosebumps. So so beautiful! I didn't want it to end!
Cheryl is such a graceful lady!
If your gonna be rude just stop watching the video plz and thank you
This is what I am talking about. Contemporary ballet always makes it. That classical ballet dude who didn't make it, needs to do contemporary.
JK I’m trying really hard to not hate this comment right now but that’s honestly one of the dumbest things I have ever seen on TH-cam
@@anyadeising1564 Its not dumb, classical ballet is boring to watch so it would be never be appreciated in any talent shows where ordinary audiences are voting. It's usually more for pretentious posh crowd. Which probably won't vote in such programs.
I mean you got a technical perfect classical ballet dude who didn't get through. And i bet if more classical ballet contestant participated, zero will get through.
Oh my gosh JK, you are clearly deluded if you seriously believe that classical ballet is boring to watch. I mean WHAT! And to say that only a certain type of audience will appreciate it, is very stereotypical of you. It’s a dance competition. Also it’s the 2% delirious folk like you is the reason he never made it through to begin with :-). His routine was outstanding.
@@lyndseycarlin833 In another words, i am right. Classical ballet will never win talent competitions that requires audience's votes because it is too boring to watch. Just reality.
JK Honestly contemporary and lyrical routines get so overdone that they are nothing that special anymore. Ballet is a classic and timeless art form that may be too mature for some people to really appreciate. The physical miracles that professionals are is unbelievable and so much more interesting to watch just knowing how technical and strong they are.
What an amazing kid! Looking back that Frozen has been released 6 years ago makes me feel old. What is the title of the song ?
Athan Cabaltera it by the British band “Take That” and the song is “ rule the world”
Anyone else love his mom’s shirt?!😂🤷🏻♀️
he was really good but he could have improved by not stumbling while turning because if he stumbles he doesn’t look effortless
what move did he do that was effortless i didnt see any move perform at all passable every move after the 1st 30esc was lazyily done and he was outta energry in the 1st min sorry i know he is young but nothing he did was call dancing it can be call moveing to music but not dance no emotion or meaning just move around a floor doing random tricks that come off as good to those that know no better
He and his mother are just beyond precious! I wish this young man every opportunity and blessing that can come his way!
Jordan’s reaction to the mirror opening is hilarious hahaha
When the door opened "YES YES" you Gotta love him
Idk anything about ballet but are all males supposed to have the same haircut? I know a couple male ballet dancers that have "white people type hair" and they all have that same hairstyle with the part on the left side
He’s a good little dancer, but the choreography was repetitive and boring. Great he got through.
Great dancing. I hope to see you as a lead with the New York City Ballet. It is time for a leap in dance education.
To the poeple who don’t turn on there lights I would love to see u try dance
And I’m still pissed at those 2 people at the ballet dancing who says we have to power
Incrível!!
its amazing how flexable he is boys usally arnt to flexable but hes so gracefull and amazing and adorable
and talented
The tricks are fabulous; the dancing isn't. As an adult it's the dancing that will count.
Some people on this comment section are hypocrite and stereotype, I hate saying this but it's true.
Beautiful Fionn ... Tender Kisses from France ... You are the best dancer for me ...
