[@JasonMraz]

The lyric says, You’ll never feel happy until you try. So we tried, and they were right. I feel the happy.

[@cassandra7415]

My family and I loved you this season!! You were by far our favorite 💛!! Definitely our winner :) fantastic job, Jason!

[@nondescript123]

Wow, you really rocked this whole season. What a joy it has been watching a top notch performer. You are a true showman. Bravo! 👏

[@kellyharney2385]

Thanks for taking us on this happiness journey with you!! I may not have the talent or opportunity, but in my mind I was dancing my heart out and feeling alive right along w you guys. Xoxo

[@bizzyfit2128]

This is now one of my favorite DWTS routines! Great job!

[@jessicaweyhey675]

i love you sm, ur the winner in my heart

[@tedd-ivan]

jason 100% had the best freestyle of the night. daniella’s choreography is unmatched

[@michellemichael1676]

Yes he did!!! It was unbelievable. So impressed with what he pulled off!

[@Ryangoslinggirl21]

I agree

[@terrydougherty5714]

What a multi-talented humble guy. I think being on DWTS will open up HUGE opportunities for him.

[@melaniesantamaria2007]

AGREEEDDD

[@bernicedavis5151]

I really, really thought Jason and Daniella should have won 🎉❤🎉. What a beautiful freestyle performance 😂

[@sydjordan6647]

i wanna mention, Daniella has been on this show for 4 years…she has been in the FINALE 3 out of 4 of those years…this girl is the pro to beat on this show just wow

[@debbiebosetti5723]

She's fantastic ❤

[@myracle.j]

she is incredible

[@lynnngo7256]

Daniella is an awesome choreographer and dancer.

[@gameweavers2655]

And the one person she didn't make finale with wasn't a bad dancer by any means. He was just a bit outmatched by the frontrunners in that particular season; I think it was the son of Arnold? Either way she's awesome. :) ~Ry

[@haleynicole5166]

If she doesn’t keep getting robbed (she really should’ve won this season) she could beat Derek with his 6 wins!

[@Jennifer-jn3qx]

This was EASILY the best dance of the season. He kept that energy up the entire dance, next to some stellar pro dancers too! Dani’s choreography is unmatched. She’s neck and neck with Mark, in my opinion, in figuring out how to make their partners shine and really choreographing for them as individuals while still keeping true to the dance styles. Top five freestyle of all time right here and the winners in my book.

[@debbiebosetti5723]

Yes- Totally agree 🎉

[@carolrace5934]

Best free style

[@syedalihasan8923]

I absolutely adore Daniella, she has Mark's insane creativity, and Karina's impeccable technique!

[@kaylalopez]

dani and mark are my top 2 fav pros! they both know how to keep the focus on the celebrity and not themselves! i think that’s what consistently puts them on top!

[@KennethWrites]

I know 46 years old isn't ancient, but Jason being able to dance instep with pro dancers half his age was really impressive.

[@KevinRapkochFishing]

Best dance of the night!! Jason and Daniella absolutely CRUSHED this dance!!

[@jenelljohnson-reavis9374]

Jason was to WIN that Night For This!. He was Jipped. Greatest dance of all time!. JIVE!.

[@2bcYT]

No way Jason didn't win this free style dance? I held a sweet grin the entire dance. It made me feel happy!

[@Tricia1087]

The fact that Dani was in pain this whole show... blows my mind. She is a force to be reckoned with. Jason was a great partner choice for her. Amazing routing and a killer season!

[@sleeepysage]

nobody can tell me Jason didn’t have the best comeback this season!! maybe even in DWTS history period (idk). AND GIVE MY GIRL DANIELLA HER EMMY FOR THIS FREESTYLE!

[@sh.boogies]

no way cause he's been 9-10 score worthy since the very first dance

[@onyxm00n]

Disagree, he was a strong dancer from the start for sure!

[@esquweviej]

you cant have a comeback when you were a good dancer all season,him being on the second last bottom of the leaderboard that time didnt even make sense or was deserved

[@StarlordNoah]

He had a comeback because he started slipping. Anyone who really watches DWTS would know this.

[@vickie9293]

​@StarlordNoah Yessss I feel like he started slipping because he kept doing energetic routines for the first 3 weeks or so. Then when it was time to do an actual ballroom routine, he wasn't ready. So while everyone was already where they needed to be, Jason had just gotten started learning actual ballroom. Once he'd mastered it, he was back on the top.

[@kachowtori]

really wish he won but so so proud of him regardless. easily the best freestyle of night - dani's choreo never misses. truly loved their partnership!!

[@dimeeeskiez]

Dani’s choreography is insane idk how they didn’t win 😢

[@jbland7737]

Cause the competition was rigged to be more so in Xochitl and Val's favor. But Jason and Danielle were so much better.

[@dimeeeskiez]

@@jbland7737 yes I agree. I would’ve loved to see Jason win

[@shaunduquette5992]

lack of voters

[@PeaceSeeker2023]

​@@shaunduquette5992I'm not so sure that's true. The voters determine who is in the bottom and the producers are the ones who determines who stays and who leaves. It stands to reason that the voters determine who are the top two in the fanale.

[@debbiebosetti5723]

They were great but X was fantastic from day 1. His freestyle was definitely the best- perfect.

[@esthervalladolid8833]

I was not expecting that! They deserved 11's

[@LovelyJada216]

Jason is SO TALENTED! He’s kept me smiling all season! I wish the second place couple could get some kind of award too lol

[@nicolecottrell5814]

I was DYING to see this again!! He’s the winner in my heart ❤

[@rosemata7127]

Same

[@elsacarlson2221]

I missed it last night putting my kids to bed. I just saw it for the first time. WOW!!

Jason looked like he was having so much fun! Loved the choreo!! He is my winner!

[@debbiebosetti5723]

LOVED it too! ❤

[@chaneelewis8040]

Yes! Daniella looked like she was having a blast too. They’re happiness is so contagious 😊

[@daniellem_24]

this. this is how you do a FREESTYLE. this was easily the best one i saw all night. they had a great balance of just the two of them and backup dancers. he was just so joyous to watch and man he brought the technique and energy to this freestyle. i’m gonna miss watching him dance every week

[@carolofthecosmic]

Still not over this. The thing I love about him is that he genuinely looks like he is having so much fun and is having the time of his life. His facial expressions! He is my winner idc

[@chalamanning8646]

This dance should have absolutely sealed the win for them! Daniella is a phenomenal choreographer & they crushed this from beginning to end! Their energy stayed full speed the entire time. I’ve watched it an embarrassing amount of times. So good!!!!

[@cdmoon1048]

Jason nailed this finale, 10/10 for each dance.

[@tazmom0]

Jason had the best freestyle dance, by far! Daniella is amazing and she brought out the best in Jason.

[@barb3543]

In my opinion he should have won. They were fantastic

[@lynnngo7256]

This was awesome. Great footwork. Best Freestyle in a long time. Filled with a variety of dance styles, super fast, and filled with energy and exciting. The whole dance was entertaining. This was so so GREAT!! The Dynamic Duo! I love how he always thanks Daniella. He is grateful and graceful. They compliment each other so well and obviously respect each other too. And I'm also happy Jason Mraz and Daniella came in 2nd, fantastic show tonight, I really enjoyed it. 🤩👏🏼 So glad Jason came in 2nd. He deserved it!

[@ferretocious]

Thanks for ruining it for those that haven't seen the finale.

[@JollyMe22]

@@ferretocious Maybe clicking on the comments and scrolling is what ruined it.

[@emmalapointe981]

The fact that ALL the judges were up the ENTIRE dance just talks for itself ! They both nailed it, perfection ! 🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@Gammagirl1908]

Right? In every shot where you can see the judges, they are downright partying!

[@LunarUmbreon1994]

I really wish they had won, but they're still winners in my book. Love you forever Jason and Dani 💙

[@lisaattheshow]

Best number of the whole season. He should have won. Jason dances so naturally, so at ease, and is so fun to watch.

[@hollyhearth]

I was rooting for Jason so hard 😭 i wish he would have won

[@emily_b0916]

HANDS DOWN THE BEST DANCE OF THE SEASON!!!!! Daniella is a rock star when it comes to choregraphing.

[@JulieDelahooke]

This freestyle was unmatched with any performer. Len would’ve loved it so much. I stood up and applauded in my living room and cried because I was so proud of him. This was epic. I do think he should’ve won, but second place is awesome too! Love him so much!

[@johii19]

my favorite freestyle of the night!!!!! it was so good!!!! Dani's choreo is really unmatched!

[@necoleburkhart8384]

Emmy worthy preformance & the best freestyle I've seen through the years of DWTS! Huge kudos to Jason & Danny

[@shoelaceswitcher]

This whole thing is Jason's perfect vibe

[@annettealex1]

lindy hop Charleston some fine swing, there, amazing job jason danni you certainly had quite the season teaching him excellent job

[@emjay4921]

Her choreagraphy is amazing

[@illeyb.6067]

my winner!!

[@millerlynn8379]

I've watched this at least 10 times, and I feel the happy every time!!! Like Derek said, it's an 11!!!!!

[@rci385]

Let's make it 20, 10 for Jason and 10 for Dani. It is an amazing dance!

[@mariongarvie9299]

BEST dance of the season!!!!!

[@marittooo]

I'm obsessed with this dance.

[@c.m.j.454]

Thought he had it clinched after this performance. Unmatched! Amazing choreography from Daniella! So much joy packed into this performance.

[@barbarakane9622]

Jason out-danced everyone!

[@rci385]

Jason and Daniella, two pros, two stars, the true winners! ❤❤

[@sydderrss]

Best choreo of the night!! I love Jason Mraz ♥️

[@franciscoalzua3366]

Jason if you ever read this… Congrats to that kid that stepped up in this dance. Dance is for fun and letting go, you both smashed it yesterday. Absolute winners in much more than a trophy.

[@joyabernathy462]

DWTS should do a runner up show. Ppl who come in 2nd place should have that chance to win. In the 32 seasons I've been watching your freestyle is #1 hands-down!! I'm a huge fan of yours now! LOL UR stuck with me now Jason!! I can't count how many times I've watched over and over your freestyle and some of your videos. Thank heavens for uTube and I never thought I'd say that!! Love your and Dani's partnership. It was awesome!! Love you guys! ❤❤❤

[@LexTVi]

Omg. That was phenomenal!!!! Daniella’s choreography is simply unmatched. 🔥🔥

[@karencoe7086]

That was the best dance of the season . He is the best ,he had my vote !Love you Jason !

[@Micheleh2o]

This performance was perfection on every level! They won as far as I'm concerned 🪩

[@juliedemeree5633]

I absolutely love this routine! I definitely believe that they were robbed of the win. They were so great together! The dance moves were out of this world! They deserved to WIN!

[@joanadavis479]

This song and dance is a perfect match for Jason. Daniella never disappoints with her amazing choreography! What a dance ❤

[@michellemichael1676]

This dance was perfectly in line with all that Jason is. Every time I see him perform, he just makes you feel so happy and uplifted. I absolutely love him and wish he could have won.

[@salinawaddy2103]

wow...wow...the joy...wow

[@piovest]

I loved watching Jason dance! He should have won! So much happiness here!

[@shimasharei3650]

Omg chilllsssss…..this was one of the best freestyles i have ever seen on the show… god….jason already won a mirror ball for having dani as her couch and this freestyle. God

[@OnlyInDreams]

definitely disappointed that jason didn't win the mirror ball, but kudos to him for making it to the final two. he did amazing (dani too with the choreography all season) and has a lot to be proud of ❤

[@Denissebmable]

I want another Emmy nomination and this time a win for Daniella!

[@FineApple-ug9sy]

Best freestyle this season

[@g.pp.712]

Best dance of the night

[@JollyMe22]

By far...

[@sarahcoletti6946]

Daniella is SUCH a force! I love when she pulls her pant legs up - that's how you know it's time to get down with the get down! What a brilliant routine! Doesn't hurt that this is one of my all time favorite songs to dance to, lol. I shared it on my Facebook like a decade ago with the caption "Cue the dance shoes!"

[@janhillsberg5166]

Best dance of the season! I keep watching! And the artistry of the choreography!! Incredible!

[@amylarson2980]

In my opinion Jason should have won DWTS, hands down! That was a really difficult number that required tons of kicks, turns, rhythmic response, outstretched hands, face gestures, flips, etc. No one else could have pulled off that number. It took really two seasoned artists, plus a back-up of seasoned pros, to pull this off. I hope Jason knows we were all rooting and cheering for him. First place isn't bad and certainly commendable. He'll always be the top dog in this contest without the trophy but with the biggest heart! Daniella is positive perfection.

[@ColorMyCamera]

I’ve watched this so many times it’s crazy. One of my favorite freestyles EVER!!

[@beckysweeney6816]

My forever winners❤️ this season was unmatched. Phenomenal cast and the best hosts. Thank you so much for putting your all out their guys. Dani and Jason, Pasha and Ariana this was such a fire season

[@yolandahankins5429]

Danielle will always be one of my favorites!! Her and Jason did that.

[@mango7498]

My mom and I LOVED this routine. My grandma who was a ballroom dancer would’ve LOVED to see Jason killin it in this routine. BEST FREESTYLE OF THE ENTIRE NIGHT!! (And I was a xochitl and Val fan) but after this performance I couldn’t help but want Jason to win lmao

[@janielbalino]

the most perfect partnership to ever come out of dwts😢 jason always nailed dani’s perfect choreography. it’s so rare to have such an amazing duo as them and i’m sad they didn’t win, but still so proud for them! hands down this is one of the best freestyles to ever come out of this show!

[@lonellfletcher]

As spectacular as all of the freestyles were, this was the best danced. Daniela did not let up on Jason with all of that footwork. The energy never goes down and that final swing around is typical Daniela epicness. LOVED LOVED LOVED. They had all my votes last night.

[@armywidow6004]

He's a natural born dancer.

[@janj0222]

My favorite dance of the entire season. Just loved the energy and the pure Jason Mraz positivity!

[@patriciajones600]

Best freestyle ever they should have won daniella choreography is awesome 😊

[@JollyMe22]

Yep. They should have won! He was the only one that didn't have mess-ups, plus he sang and had 3rd set of choreography.

[@jbland7737]

Yea i was rooting for Charity for the win. But i also wanted Jason to win. He and Daniella were phenomenal.

[@millardfreyler7207]

This has become my most favorite dance on DWTS

[@copeland0195]

Legendary

[@juliequinn311]

YES! This is how to do a freestyle! A couple of the other freestyles felt like you wouldn't even know who the pro partner was if you hadn't been watching all season -- they were more solo spectacles. This was a true partnership and a joy to watch. Team DJ forever!

[@empkkk]

I can’t stop watching. Probably my favorite freestyle ever, Dani’s choreography is unmatched. So sad they didn’t win, team DJ will always be the winners in my heart🪩💃🏼🤍

[@nicolegelonese4095]

BEST FREESTYLE HANDS DOWN

[@mindyroth8112]

Finally! The other freestyles felt so low-energy for me. They had great tricks but less movement or actual dancing. I knew Jason's would deliver!

[@JollyMe22]

So much freestyle choreography in this and past finals is hiphop and not terribly original, but Jason's dance and Dani's choreography were excellent. They should have won.

[@harrietwalker1271]

He made it look effortless. Amazing

[@nancychakmian6416]

Every Tuesday I look forward to watching them dance I really wish they won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gillianlathwood4402]

The best freestyle for sure!!

[@miafontaine]

i am happy Xochitl won there was no robbing, that is so silly of people to say. BUT WOW THIS FREESTYLE! Dani just knows how to make her partner SHINE, the musicality of it was SO Jason! It sucks to come so close to the end but Jason you’re a winner too and we saw you kill it every week. I WILL BE at that tour of yours!! 🫶🏼🕺

[@ferretocious]

I think it was bullshit to have a 17-year-old competing against adults that were mostly 40+ and one that was 61. Clearly she's got a lot more stamina than they do and less chance of injury. Oh and thanks for ruining it for those of us that haven't seen the finale yet.

[@Salemteen18]

@@ferretocious we’ve seen younger competitors on the show go home within the first five weeks. That is not an excuse. Plus, she doesn’t have any ballroom dance experience. if anything, Jason had the advantage over her, considering he is a musician, and his way of feeling music is a little more advanced than hers. She’s just been more consistent over the season than he has. It takes nothing away from him. He was still great.

[@jbland7737]

@@ferretocious I totally agree. But the overly obsessed Xocitl fans never make any sense. So no point in even going back and forth with them lol. Only the people with true sense know Jason should have won

[@Salemteen18]

@@jbland7737 the semi finals and the finals showed that Xochitl should’ve won. she was consistent all throughout those rounds not to mention the entire season.
