Not a Maddie fan but honestly you have to admit that she has something that draws your eyes. I can't explain it; it just feels as though she adds little tweaks to each move and makes the entire dance so much more captivating.
I think it's so funny that Brynn got this opportunity too before she was officially part of the dance moms team like if this situation was televised Jill would be like so pissed.
Let alone she didnt need the show to get this oportuneties cause she was amazing dancer. I mean I like the girls dancing but without the show who knows what and how theirs lifes be now without it.
What makes a great dancer is not just the technical aspects of dance, but also the ability to connect with an audience and convey story and/or emotion. This is after all, performance art and is as old as humanity. Here you have a live orchestra, live vocalist, live guitar, and live dancers. The overall effect is pure magic. And Maddie leads because she is a natural born leader and picks up quickly/remembers choreography like no one else her age. Not to mention she is a very elegant and magnetic performer. She literally draws your eye. All that matters is that when it ended you were smiling and could feel the magic... Great job to all performers!!!!
+Cryo837 You and I must be watching 2 totally different dancers. I was really, this is what is called danced. Every true ballerina who has ever bared her soul with grace plus technical excellent while emotional connection with the audience is screaming, stop watching this few trick pony.
Beautiful and for people asking why Maddies at the front it's simple. The two girls at the back look more alike and are shorter thus creating better symmetry with Maddie in the middle. Plus Maddie is a well known dancer know both to DM fans and to other people as she's been in the Sia videos.
+Victoria Diakou Please, it's because Maddie is the famous one. They know this. Maddie is mainstream, Brynn and Jaycee are not. Most people don't know who they are and would be confused if Maddie was dancing behind either of them.
Actually Jaycee abd Brynn are well known they have competed as fresh faces on sSo you think you can dance and jaycee won a competed with her teammate Dylynn for that Disney show shake it up.
+Kory Kent Maddie is known to television world. Brynn and Jaycee are well known in the dance world. How do you think they got to be on DWTS? None of the other Dance Moms girls were invited.
Brynn and Jaycee are technically superior to Maddie, but Maddie's emotional execution gives her that star quality. This was such a beautiful dance by all three.
Cate Craig Finally somebody who said it right- The others are better overall dancers because of their technique and flexibility, but Maddie outshines then in performance and emotion every time. It’s just the truth.
Elaine Dempster All three of them did amazing and it's so surprising that Maddie doesn't look bad next to club dancers who are known as the best dancers in the country.
***** Sadly what I see are sub par dancers compared to other studio's especially compared to the studio where Brynn is coming from. Tell me I'm not right.
***** I can judge the studio and the operator of the studio (Abby) off of what they put out into the world of dance. I don't watch the show so that side of it I can't speak for. I see below average talent coming out of a studio I have to assume it is because they have below average training/instruction. From what I've seen they are on a very amateur level and aspects as basic as flexibility and control they are woefully behind. To me it looks like the kids/parents should be asking for their money back - sadly they'll never get the time back. I'll leave it at that, just my opinion, from what I see.
Ash the Viking Yeah, flexibility and control just isn't there yet for them. Kids in the dance world, such as Brynn, are way more advanced but people who watch the show and that aren't dancers just assume that they are the best dancers. Don't get me wrong they are all beautiful dancers but I easily list so many other studios that could easily win against them... well that is if the show doesn't rig the comp.
Larssen Shine I disagree. She’s not one of the best. She’s amazing, but there are tons of kids who aren’t recognized for their talent because they weren’t on a TV show. Didn’t you just comment that you see somebody expressing their “uneducated opinion and name calling whenever you don’t agree”. That’s just hypocritical.
Omg, I don't understand why people feel the need to take away from maddie to compliment the other two, they were all good X Maddie was the star of this dance , end of!
I hate it when people say that Maddie got fame because of the shows and not because of her talent. well guess what led her to be in TV shows and music videos because of her talent and her dance technique is graceful just like the other girls.
This always makes me cry because my aunt passed away In October and she always sang this song to me, and this will be our first Thanksgiving without her we were really close.. Just seeing them dance makes me love dance more because you get to show your emotion. I love the whole dance! especially the ending pose where they laid their heads on Maddie's shoulder. Bravo Girls that was very beautiful!
I literally don't know what it is but there is something special about Maddie that draws my attention always to her. I think it may be because she's so passionate about her dance and dances for her heart :)
I wish people would stop saying Brynn could have done better and everything. Yes Brynn is amazing and there is no need to compare the dancers, however Maddie did deserve the featured to spot. Theres something about Maddie that draws you in and makes you want to watch her. She has passion, and power when she dances. That's what makes you love the dance even more. Brynn may be a good technical dancer but Maddie is beautiful to watch and has amazing technique as well. She pulls you in and interacts with the audience. All three dancers are beautiful. They both deserved to be in this dance and they all work very hard.
Found this on my recommendations again! I miss seeing J and B together! I wish that we can travel back to time when Brynn is not part of dance moms yet and just maybe we can see her confidence and strengths again in dancing. Dance moms really ruined her and it is so sad!!! Brynn is one of the best dancers during her time and it is sad that she lost that enthusiasm in dance. Thankfully, Alexa is always there for her! Continue shining Brynn!
All three girls were incredibly beautiful. I hate it when people say Jaycee and Brynn have better technique then Maddie. Maddie has been told on numerous occasions by actual judges that her technique is flawless. People who know nothing about dance shouldn't hate on Maddie's technique. Maddie wouldn't have won tons of dance competitions and wouldn't have been awarded a scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet School with Chloe if her technique wasn't amazing.
korey morgan maddie has never been told her technique is flawless. But she has been told that her legs arent stretched. Abby has talked so much about Maddie being amazing. Its Easy to beat Maddie beside Dance moms rigged competitons. Brynn beats Maddie 8/10 Times on real competitons. Maddie dances with her faces Brynn dances with her Body, she has great faceals to.
+Emilia Maddie has been told her technique is flawless. Also all of the dance moms stars even Chloe have said that the competitions are real. Chloe said so a year or so after she left the show she had no reason to lie. Plus people who have actually been to the dance moms competitions have said there completely normal except the girls perform their routines twice once for the judges and once to be filmed. Even if u don't count the dance moms competitions Maddie has won tons outside of dance moms. She got five stars on Live to Dance when she was 7.
sure maddie's technique is amazing, but brynn and jaycee are no doubt more advanced than her. if you watch videos of club dance studio's prepros, you'll see that their choreos and technique are more complicated + they're all super flexible.
+krissyyy idiot, maddie won tons of competitions out dance moms and is considered as one of the amazing dancers by PROFESSIONALS in dance industry, so suck it up and crawl away. Haha, loser
Maddie was stunning, she has the power to make the stage hers and she does no-matter who shes working with. She worked hard to be that good and she made a lot of people pleased. She didn't have a normal childhood but she used it to her best ability and made herself work for these types of projects. Even now at almost 20 years old she has made a world-wide name for herself and is still the same Maddie that wanted this and soaked in every moment as if it was her last.
Right....this is art....what Abby Lee Does is torture....See a lot of "little Abby Lees " around here.... Enjoy the art form...and the kids danced choreos with some light differences....did Josh's voice outstand the orchestra ? Wake up America...not everything is about being competitive....
Maddie had surprisingly good technique for an aldc dancer. Obviously not on club dancers' level, but enough to sell the performance with her other star qualities.
I hate it how people make maddie look bad by saying "Brynn and Jaycee were amazing" yes they were! But maddie was in this too! It makes me sad because people don't know what maddie is actually really capable of! 😭 plus most of you maddie haters are probably jealous because she was just as good as them 2
That's called overrating Maddie. Brynn and Jaycee are technically superior to Maddie, Brynn's non aldc solos are much better than Maddie's, when it comes to emotional execution. Maddie is getting enough credit, Brynn and Jaycee aren't
@J Wilson Maddie has got enough credit and recognition. Maddie sure is amazing, but the other 2 are just as amazing or even more so technically. They don't get half the recognition Maddie has got, despite their talent and hard work. So saying that Brynn and Jaycee are amazing takes nothing away from Maddie. There are so many comments saying that Maddie shone in this dance,etc. yet this original commentator had a problem with anyone who praised Brynn and Jaycee. Btw, look at Jaycee's story, and her dances, if you think she's not comparable to Maddie. She actually has struggled more and worked harder than Maddie, who got benefited by the show more than anything.
@J Wilson omg, literally every girl from the show spent hours working just as hard, and the girls from Club dance trained even harder than the girls at aldc. Aldc wasn't that good of a studio compared to Club. And dancing with the stars is more about famous people than best dancers. Maddie was more famous because of the show, that's why she got the lead. Brynn and Jaycee were the best dancers in their age groups, that's why they were selected to perform on stage from among rest of the candidates. And Maddie did get many opportunities simply because of the show.
@J Wilson I'm not going to argue with you. I'm guessing you're not a dancer ir have formed your opinions just by watching the show. I suggest you watch the solos of Brynn, Jaycee, Kalani, Tate, etc. that were choreographed by Alexa Moffet of club dance. And listen to Jaycee's story as the 2015 junior best dancer at tda, and her dances after.
I love Maddie’s emotional execution. Some say it’s exaggerated/over used but just like actors always use their distinctive “faces”, so does she. And I’m glad she exaggerates her emotions because when performing live, your emotion should be seen and felt by everyone. It’s a great way to reach people who don’t have front row seats.
Maddie is an amazing dancer probably one of the best dancers on dance moms Definitely tied with Kalani and Chloe but she did deserve a lot of this because she worked hard and practiced a lot
Tied? I think you're just being generous Bcs you like Maddie...Chloe and kalani had a better technique. But kalani had a far better technique than the both of them
+doedelzak Actually she's not inaccurate - most of her choreo is just rehashed versions of previous dances. She does the same flip in almost every dance -it's not a bad thing but it's not good either. P.S. Grow up
***** I know plenty about how the dance world works - The original comment was as I said not inaccurate - sure she may be better now than she was 4 years ago but that hardly changes the fact that much of what she does is just the same old move's. The only time I've been really impressed by her dancing has been during her improve performance at the dance awards otherwise I find her to be simply an amateur dancer - which is fine most dancers fall into that category. Imagine if she actually went to a strong dance studio from the beginning. Lucky for her I see she's been recently going to workshops learning from real real dancers. Wish her nothing but the best. P.S. Your hubris is embarrassing and it's making you come off like a pompous fool.
***** Her performance at the dance awards was exemplary - kind of why I said that was the only time I've seen her dance and been really impressed - otherwise yes she has danced like an amateur in all of the other video's. Again not a bad thing just needs better training to be on the next level.
***** No shit Sherlock. You don't say. She's had a drastic improvement recently she has improved her flexibility which used to be very average for a non dancer to the point one could say her flexibility is average for a dancer. I haven't seen any newer dances since the dance awards so I cannot say that it wasn't a one off, but I have seen her improving her flexibility which, if you're honest, was the very definition of amateur.
Perfect Dancers! 123 maybe they're yours but Maddie is 10 times a better dancer 10 times more famous shows her emotion 10times better and has 10 times better technique not trying to say that brynn isnt a good dancer but Maddie is more mature in her dancing
krissyyy lol is you don't think maddie has emotion. Then Brynn and Jaycee must not have faces!! Lol maddie had ten times better emotion. But I do agree about the technique. As a dancer I could clearly see who has better technique. If you think about it maddie is the only Aldc dancer who has trained in Aldc that can actually dance. Her technique is not even close to being bad. Do you see her duets with kalani there amazing. She's catching up more and more every day.
+krissyyy hahaha! Professionals don't agree with you! They consider maddie amazing dancer and brilliant performer, so suck it up. Hahaha, jealous loser. Boo hoo
+NuclearClarity I don't think so, Maddie has beaten Brynn in every competition when they were against each other so Idk how you got that from, but I understand that It was your own opinion and I respect it 😉
Tanya Markova Maddie only beat Brynn once, when they were in the same division. But Brynn got horrible cheesy choreography while Maddie's choreography was amazing, of course she won. But Maddie turned 13 and Brynn was still 12 so they couldn't compete against each other because they weren't even in the same age division. Besides Brynn won the titles as best dancer while Maddie got 4th.
Your drawn to Maddie because she puts emotions in every move she makes…. You feel it! The 2 girls may be more technical but don’t have the “IT” factors. Overall beautiful dancers❤️
