[@SuperEnichols]

This is a soul that knows pain, and empathy. Unusually beautiful.

[@mlmartin2922]

After all these years, this routine still reaches into my soul and makes me sob. As a person who's experienced abuse and other trauma in my life, this is like therapy for me. 😥❤️

[@reginahughes7652]

7 years later and I’m still crying! I remember the night he was on TV. I couldn’t breathe through his whole dance. Pure magic! Straight poetry! I hope he’s having a wonderful life!!

[@emobutterfly777]

I cried the first time I watched this on tv, and I cried again while watching it. Simply moving. He is a star.

[@k2d10tode11]

i come sometimes in this old SYTYCD auditions to reminisce when i first saw them some years back. and no matter how many times i look at them am always in awe. and i will always be in awe.

[@tclass99]

Dude owned the stage harder than damn near any one I've ever seen on the show.

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

It was magically moving and an unbelievable routine! Great choice of song to dance to in this type of dance moves Hampton made! He is indeed a genius!

[@BleuReign13]

Amazing!!! Absolutely beautiful! He IS a genius!

[@sherimcdaniel3491]

Hampton, I don't know if you will ever see this, but I'm putting it out there anyway. What you did, what YOU went through and took me with you - I have NEVER been affected as I was tonight and I'm watching it years later. I am going to look you up to see where this took you, but thank you for taking me out of the room I live in and taking me soaring into the heavens. It is my prayer that whatever resulted from that moment led you to your rebirth. God bless and be happy my friend.

[@shigaara]

[@brandennelson4772]

I am a popper myself and I've had the blessing of seeing a true OG Legend "Mr.Wiggles" dance before my eyes and I never cried(Although I was about to😏😉) and his young mans freestyle almost broke me down! Lol

[@SosofckdpshttBehind]

He wants to show you what the song means

[@TheLagader]

[@MoreWaveLessParticle]

That made me cry.

[@blaccgypsy7496]

So Beautiful

[@aaramchase3502]

Best performance ever

[@alibirich2819]

I come back againe in this damn dance and againe tears no stop

[@jakehobbs]

It had so much emotion in it

[@mrbensonhedges6655]

Amazing! Classic as foook

[@stevenjenkins4885]

That was so lyrical. An extension of ballet for me. Kiddos

[@kylady124]

Although I know Jesus is the only One that can take our pain; there is no denying that this man is an artist. He paints so gracefully through the expression of emotions through movement. He will paint many works of art, I betcha. This first viewing of his masterpieces, will be just a sampling of what the man is able to express with artistic, graceful movement. Move over ballet! Wow!

[@Tone202]

gets me every time.

[@MrMrloverboy11]

a real performer is nt know for 1 thing but the things he can in co-operate to bring the real meaning of the story and he did that with the right song and his amazing pop-lock it wassssss good

[@xpresstv7689]

Yep, my eyes watered.

[@patryperez5347]

Hermoso!! 👏👏👏👏☺☺☺

[@charlenevance1782]

Wow that had crying my ass off OMG!!

[@AryMos]

SIMPLESMENTE DEMAIS!

[@GedeonMunyaneza]

That is called completely interpreting the song.🍾

[@punisher00109]

wooohoo nice 1 bro

[@varuno7560]

This man has got the spirituality.

[@devongee1776]

Idk how much crying you can credit to the song itself though... Like, this song will jerk a tear out of anyone whose cared about someone else, ever. Whether it be a person or a pet. Her voice is just that powerful and the music is so weakening. The dance was cool, but especially watching this year's later its tough to say he can have the credit

[@girlface983]

To God be the Glory.

[@martafigueroa1804]

Amen

[@joyhall2736]

Whoa!!!

[@suvoth]

This is a few weeks old, it's this year's show.

[@MonkeyDGamer007]

Do you know the meaning of this world we live in This person's body is in a dance

[@monzeemate101]

Looking back on this and thinking of Twitch 💔

[@Karmel30]

Damn!

[@TheBearorist]

Ironic that he says "hats off to you" while he's wearing his hat

[@domfernandus]

ok i see everyone was in tears after hampton's performance. i also enjoyed watching but i feel i don't really understand why people are crying. can anyone exlpain the meaning of hampton's dance plz. what story or message is he conveying?

[@ajayabraham8499]

Even I didn't understand

[@CeeJay611]

Sometimes it's because you can feel the passion of the person dancing or singing even if you don't understand

[@wynniek1114]

@paul & David: in dance, the audience responds to the invisible emotion, the musicality of using the song and its lyrics, the dancer’s facial expressions, the dancer’s ability to convey emotion and make movements flow seamlessly one to another. This incredible dancer did all those things. Being live in front of the dancer, the emotional energy both in the audience and that put forth by the dancer can be an emotional goosebumps producing. This young man pulled into himself the energies he felt around him, then played it in totally with the song (All of Me by Evanescence). The result was a spellbound audience, spontaneous tears by many and a full eruption and standing ovation by everyone in the theatre. Hope that helps.

[@burntblonde2925]

He really feels the emotion of the music, he is able to express it thru his movements. Empathetic people are able to pick up on the emotion. If you were in the audience, it would be a stronger feeling.

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

wynnie k the song’s call My Immortal by Evanescence, just to help you with the song title

[@chloekit4861]

What’s everyone’s interpretation of this I say it’s him grieving and ripping his heart out to be with his deceased loved one

[@When_Theres_A_Will]

When he was dancing, he was collecting everyone's pain. He then took your pain, placed it in his heart. He removed his heart from his chest, killing himself and your pain along with it.

[@MzFulfigdBeauti]

I'm not getting an exorcism.

[@mutavlingur7237]

watch at 5:00 that black guy hahaha

[@bogotangelito]

Finally someone who made Mary Murphy not to laugh outloud during the performance

[@sirgarence]

Holy crap, what happened to that woman's face?!

[@hmac7187]

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. It literally gave me a panic / anxiety attack

[@iratepeople455]

I don't get why people are crying after watching this silly looking man contort himself to music...it is HILARIOUS!

[@humancapybaras1301]

Delusional

[@ninjajesus81]

What a joke. He was just pop locking with a sad sounding song.

[@jarkobot1]

Poor dancing sorry
