Always magnificent. I've followed him, Heidi and Lacey from way back to SYTYCD. VERY glad to have RU-vid to keep these videos forever. Luv all the family-friendly shows
There is a problem when you are a consistently great champion year after year. The audience has great expectations. You area held to a very, very high standard of greatness. Benji and Torri continue to overcome that problem with year after year increased WOW factor. This year is no exception and why I love going to the US Open. They take the entertainment factor in the dance and move it off the charts while still performing with a dance quality that makes your jaw drop.
Benji, you gave SYTYCD its cult status. Without you, your season would not have been so popular. Donyelle was a great dancer too, but all eyes were on you then, now and will always be.
Everyone should have bum rushed that stage. That. Was. BEYOND. Some moments in life just need to be celebrated and acknowledge as DNA-changing. This performances make me feel out of my body. Pure joy. Like, this feeling is the PURPOSE of life.
1:19 ... Well, that was the boogie woogie world champions move in 2008 from Mauvais and Truntzer (watch?v=JH0XCgKJiz8). But nice variation, as I always felt that letting her drop to the ground was really bad. This is much nicer!
I've watched countless hours of Benji, and Benji and Torri (my favorite of his partners), I absolutely love him/them, and the dancing here is spectacular, as always, but I have to say, these costumes are, IMO, pretty awful.
