Melanie & Tadd - Broadway As seen on Fox, Wed & Thurs 8pm Eastern time. All rights reserved. No copyright intended. All rights owned by Fox So you think you can dance.
Tadd wasn't the only one not credited a lot in this routine. I don't recall hearing anyone praise the choreographer at all. There was a brief camera shot of him but no special recognition from the judges. That was one of my favorite routines, and I don't think they even mentioned the choreographer's name (Spencer Liff)!
@Sailoroftheskies Yes, Tadd did not get the real credit he deserved on this number. And others may have noticed that the judges never mentioned or complimented the choreographer--who was great!
I love how every season there's another dancer who is the 'best the show has ever had'... In my opinion they are the following: Season 4 - Danny Season 5 - Brandon Season 6 - Jakob Season 7 - Billy Bell Season 8 - Melanie Season 9 - CHEYON!!!! :D BUT, I will forever love Melanie. SHE IS THE BEST DANCER THE SHOW HAS EVER HAD.
Melanie and Tadd have great chemistry together! I love the fact that Cat mentioned 'Black Swan' - cause the minute I first saw this I was like, "whoa. BS flashback." Brilliant concept, great choreography, awesome piece and even more amazing pairing! :)
agreed. this whole season was great! and yeah the girls (particularly melanie) were great but i felt they underplayed tadd and marko the entire time. i mean nearly every performance involved the girls being showcased with the guys just there for support.

I feel like I'm the only person who thought Melanie just didn't look that in to Tadd during this performance. Tadd looked like he would devour her at any given moment with his eyes alone, but she just wasn't giving that energy back. I feel like Tadd played the part and danced the choreography well. Melanie danced really well, but she just didn't sell her role. Even when they kissed the audience had a delayed reaction and it didn't affect me at all.
the reason tadd doesn't get any attention is because he doesn't deserve it. Yes, his technique is impressive for a breakdancer, but he did not ONCE display emotion or PERFORM any dance beyond doing the moves. I'm surprised no one else brought this up.
Felt just the opposite, I saw much energy in Melanie's expressions, not just the dancing. Excellent performance/emotions. In his role Tadd was the one without much real feelings for Melanie. And they both "acted" accordingly, his indifference to her attraction to him and her infatuation with him.

I'm not sure anyone will ever beat Melanie as my favorite dancer. Can't be done! She has it all.

I watch this video everyday. It's so amazing. Men use you but you still give your all.
What can I say. This girl is a miracle. What she lacks in the leg department, she sure makes up with the passion for dance.
Tadd's just getting skipped over. Everyone is loving Melanie and her solo and everything and then it's just like, "Oh, Tadd-- you were good."
I love how every season there's another dancer who is the 'best the show has ever had'...
In my opinion they are the following:
Season 4 - Danny
Season 5 - Brandon
Season 6 - Jakob
Season 7 - Billy Bell
Season 8 - Melanie
Season 9 - CHEYON!!!! :D

I rarely like solos with just random moves.. which is why I love all of Melanie's solos! they're art!!
I didn't know that Christina Applegate knew so much about dance. I am proud to see that she does. People surprise me all of the time.
shes a beast !
Tadd + Melanie = WOW!
I need a cigarette after that performance.
DAMN she's tall.
ilove her
her amazing solo to the song Cracks

Do you think anyone will understand the dancing routines & their meaning if he choreographer don't explain it , I always wonder!

@1nevoj1 they have better chemistry. It's hot!

Sorry to say, but Jose was always criticized! the judges barely complimented him
