SYTYCD 8: Sasha & Kent - Fool of Me (w/ Judges' Comments)

[@BeautifulRebellion13]

Sasha was definitely one of the most underrated that season

[@korykent5645]

Not really, she was second in votes beating out Mark and Tadd by ridiculously large margins.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

She meant coming in to the show.

[@sevinnewport1658]

She was an amazing dancer, but when her season went on tour I met her. I was one of the first people to get in line and when it was my turn to meet her she was kind of rude and not very social. Tadd on the other hand was really nice and he kissed me on the cheek for a picture.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

I find it weird that tadd messed up the Cha Cha with Sasha but performed great with Melanie. Almost as if he wanted her to win. There were so many dancers I think. Who didn't want Sasha to win. Including the judges. thats the way it seemed.

[@Desmondenae_]

She should've won

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

You know a routine is the best routine on the show. When the choreographer that gave them. The routine starts crying. I've never seen a choreographer cry. From his own choreography. Sasha your amazing.

[@alnunya1148]

Am I the only one who kinda loved Christina's commentary almost as much as the routine, itself? She was a great guest judge.

[@carterj86]

Exactly

[@roxxistarr21]

My fave judge! I wish she was a regular some of the best commentary I remember has come from her!

[@brenale_heartsJesus]

She was one the only guest judges who gave legit criticism and she was funny too.

[@cat56789]

This was 10 years ago but Christina’s comments don’t just go for this video it’s forever and she’s absolutely right, it’s not about how many turns you can do or how many developes you can do. Dance isn’t about tricks or how flexible you are it’s about story telling and touching people with your emotions and portrayal and performance

[@keesworld111]

This is still my favorite performance of the entire series.

[@shioriryukaze]

Rewatching this in 2020

[@luanagarrison6125]

Mine too!!! I have watched this so many times and it still brings me to tears.😢

[@ElizabethVAllen]

Rewatching 2023.... my favorite performance of the entire show series.

[@normathompson5743]

For Real

[@jennyjumbles]

christina applegate was the best guest judge, period. her comments genuinely add value to the show and i really appreciate her perspectives

[@jamesbrown-xc8cv]

jenNifer yip Christina was right. A real dancer can make you feel something from their performance. Its not just about technique.

[@d8nya1]

I love when she judges

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

She had a point though. Sasha was so good. I really didn't care what everybody else could do. I honestly felt like no one. Was a better dancer. Than she was. No matter how good their dances were. Sasha brought something new to dance. She completely changed dance for me.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

Sasha is a true artist. She dances from her soul. Which i felt everyone else lacked. Sasha's movement quality. Was unbeleivable. It was like she was the beat. She also felt the music. Which made it posible for us. To feel something from her routines. Ontop of all that. She is an incredible actress. She should plays. Or get into movies. A person that brings all this. To dance. Gets my vote everytime. The first time i watched this season. My jaw literally dropped. When I watched her dance. I was so amazed. The funny part about the whole thing is. She tried out for season 6 and didn't make it. They must can't recognize talent. She didn't even make the show. Now its season 8 and she's the best dancer. On the show. Out of all the seasons. I honestly think she is the best dancer in the world.

[@krar1587]

jenNifer yip her commentary was so insightful.

[@nyanbinary1717]

This is one of those dances that doesn't feel like dancing. They put their souls out on that stage.

[@etpuff69]

Loved Christina's commentary. She's rigtht. I'd watch Sasha's hand over most other dancers doing anything.

[@barrybradford830]

I always think of Love and Basketball when I hear this. No way around it

[@ftlvr314]

EVERYTHING about this performance is perfect...the one prop, the choreography, the dancers, the emotion, and the SONG. Chills don't properly describe what happens when I see this...although Christina's summation comes close.

[@korykent5645]

Man I don't consider Tyce the best choreographer on the show, but stuff like this and This Woman's Work show how brilliant he really is. Those are the only two dances on SYTYCD that has ever made me cry, both by Tyce.

[@lisamcdougal5882]

Kory Kent THIS, I usually can't stand him as a choreographer but these 2 dances are my favorite ones of the entire show.

[@Mimi4826]

One of the most beautiful and emotional dances on SYTYCD. I agree with the judges. It's not always about technique. It's emotion that truly brings a dance to life. And that's what Sasha did. She used emotion and turned this piece from a dance to a story. Just amazing.

[@ithomas101]

This and Misty Blue are my two all time favorites.

[@elbowknee22]

This piece was so emotional and real. Sasha is so good. How she ran on the wall like that. I was thinking that she is so strong, such a strong dancer.

[@BeautifulRebellion13]

Randomly watched it tonight. Every time i play it back, i burst into more tears. like watching this dance you feel passion and pain well up in your throat but the only thing that comes out is tears. One of my favorite dances that season.

[@constance11200]

I feel the same way about this dance, Sasha is a brilliant dancer...

[@atiyaroberts1386]

this young woman is amazing. one of my favorite routines EVER! she was underestimated but she showed up and showed out until the very end. although she didnt win, she will forever be an all star!

[@knottygirl81]

like ever. ..ever ever. .lol. .love it

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

She is not an all-star. I don't want her to take the shows label as an all-star because they cheated her. Fuck their label. Sasha is a Legend. I like that label better. I'm just being honest. She has earned that label. People know she is. They just don't want to admit it but to me. She is a legend. No one in the history of dance. Has done what she has done. Point blank.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

Sasha is more than a legend. She is like the queen of dance.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

She is not a legend. She is the wueen of dance.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

queen

[@lisamoreno7973]

Still love ya, Kent. You, Travis, Robert, Ade, Ricky through the years, my original favs. ❤️

[@babygirlkgtt1249]

Over 10 years and this choreography and artistry of the dancers STILL moves me to tears like it's the first time. This and "Misty Blue" with Twitch (God rest your soul you beautiful light you) will just live in my head forever. The way that dance is able to tell beautiful stories with our bodies and movement. It is art. It is power and it is love. And oh yeah. Tyce used a wall. Like, a simple damn wall y'all. I will NEVER get over this! 💕❤️💕❤️

[@freebrainstorms]

This dance breaks my heart in the best way........Sasha was just so emotional, complex, and fascinating. Melanie was exquisite but Sasha's dancing just touches my heart.

[@sisandaxintolo2263]

I’ll never get over this routine...EVER💔.I still cry till this day

[@rroberts7073]

Still one of the best performances on the show.

[@racheldelauder6052]

I still remember the first time I watched this and it still gives me chills and goosebumps til this day. This is still one of my favorite dances from SYTYCD. She inspires me. The emotion she gave was true artistry and she displaced what is the true essence of art, which is to make someone feel and be healed.

[@tracywishom9999]

Rachel DeLauder YES!!!! Sasha is my all time favorite, she touched me everytime she performed....so emotional

[@misstocoa2766]

Rachel DeLauder agree

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

i feel the same way

[@jamesbrown-xc8cv]

Im a grown man and she made me cry with this performance. She is the only dancer that make me actually feel something from her performances. She even out did Alex wong. She is amazing.

[@justbeingkelly63j3]

This brought tears to my eyes and Meshell Ndegecello’s song Fool of me was perfect for this routine!

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

You know your good. When you make the choreographer that gave you the routine cry. She is unbeleivable.

[@CurlySimone]

Sasha Sasha Sasha... I've been in a loving relationship for the past 7 years, but this dance by you pulled out emotions, hurt, and pain from past experiences well over 10 years ago. You conveyed a story to all who watched you dance. Thank you. Absolutely Amazing You Are...

[@houseofzuma1033]

whats funny is she didn't design the dance ....its choreography by someone else

[@eme.261]

@@houseofzuma1033 - The power of a piece doesn't reside in the choreographer. It's always in the dancer. ALWAYS the dancer.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

tell him em

[@lumikhabyfaye9927]

This will always give me chills.

[@carterj86]

I just said this

[@vlredreign]

I remember seeing this when it aired. I was rooting for Sasha at first because she was part of Adam Lambert's Glamnation tour's dance troupe. Then I was rooting for her just because. This routine had me in tears when I watched it, and had me in tears just now, 4 years later. Some things transcend time. This is one of them.

[@GoogleAccount00]

Agree

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

No routine. Ever on the show beats this. This routine is just wow. She is an amazing dancer.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

Sasha is just one of those extrodinairy type of people. That come around every 100 years or so. She is amazing.

[@gianfrancoramos9282]

Jenna elfman and Christina Appelgate are me favorite judges ever on the show. This masterpiece always makes my cry

[@diannebryant1518]

I cry every time I watch this talent

[@scharmellreese1768]

It still makes me cry

[@danad4176]

I don't know... I always felt like Sasha had more POWER than Melanie. I mean, Melanie is a great dancer, yes, but I felt like that was all she was: a dancer. I felt like Sasha was a person with a personality. I felt like she had strength. I felt like she had personality. I felt like she was... Real. Melanie never did it for me like Sasha did.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

Sasha told the story melanie was all technique

[@normathompson5743]

Same here

[@D3ADSH0T_A1]

I forgot how beautiful this routine was.

[@ghettob00ty95]

i agree with everything Christina said! Sasha's amazing!!!

[@Nikkimo067]

Still crying...amazing performance

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

You know your good. When you make the choreographer. Who choreographed this routine cry. Sasha your amazing.

[@zoniekat]

Awesome dance. 2 great dancers. Kent is one of my all time favorite dancers. Sasha is so passionate in her dance, she is so unique. Love her style. My favorite part is when Kent threw her to the floor. Heartbreaking. Yeah, Tyce, too!

[@kennethodister8461]

One of the most powerful dances I have ever seen on this show I am in tears.

[@debyoung6542]

Feels like shes trying to escape by jumping into the wall like its a portal to another time and space maybe im thinking too much love this watch over and over Tyce is brilliant

[@vlredreign]

When I first saw this, I cried. Watching it just now, I cried. This is dance. Telling a story with your body, conveying heartache and heartbreak with a partner and a wall...absolutely brilliant.

[@jamesbrown-xc8cv]

Sasha is a true artist of the dance floor. Their is no one like her in the world. I believe. If their is they haven't made theirselves known.

[@ebonijayde]

I too was surprised by the chemistry between them. It's hard to find that when just meeting you partner for the first time. Btw Kent has buffed up quite nicely since last season.

[@jamesbrown-xc8cv]

You know people feeling you when you make lil c cry Marie cried. Sasha's mom and the dude with her was crying and Tyce was crying. Oh wait I was crying too.

[@wotiam3]

Sasha should have won! Her passion took it for me...she makes u feel her! Wow!

[@abihigh]

Remembered this performance and had to come back to watch it again. Sasha is amazing!!!

[@AshleyJohnson-xd1ei]

This was the best season. This performance took my breath away

[@kay-anndacosta8923]

This routine left an impression on me. I remember randomly catching this episode of SYTYCD at my neighbours house and this routine stuck with me for years. So Powerful... So emotive!!! Although she didn't win (I love Mel), this routine was SUBLIME. Nothing can take away this routine from her!

[@carlybabes100]

I literally cry every time I see this routine. It is perfection!

[@GoogleAccount00]

Me too

[@plutovon]

Me too

[@emmanuellalangley4471]

Exquisite. Both are talented artists & honored my choreography & music well.

[@shioriryukaze]

The one thing I can say about your dance? DAMN.

[@RRSmileyBlackBarbie]

I agree with u all. This was one performance that was touching ...beautiful job

[@gmorris2891]

I come back a couple of times a year to watch this video.

[@Mystique1569]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this performance

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

Sasha was so amazing in this. So much passion. There were so many things in this. That were so artistic. From her running toward the judges and stopping and spinning. Then running to the wall and puting her hand on the wall. From the synchronized movement on the wall. Until she put her leg into his chest. To the spin toward him and he lift her up. She then makes a Y with her legs. I love when she put her leg up after this. Still synchronized with the beat. With them still holding hands. When she put her leg up against the wall I can go on and on. This is the best routine on the show. Period.

[@FreshAir79]

I totally agree with you about that.Choreographers are designers but it takes the dancer to display it and bring it life. I know and believe that dance is much more about bringing/showing the technical aspects of the routine but its about bringing life, your life into it, and that is what makes a dancer, a great dancer.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

This is what I think. A dancer must have. To become a great dancer. You must be able to act. You must be able to move to the beat or music. Basically you have to always be on Q. With the music. It's called movement quality. Which I think. Is the most important thing. A dancer must have. To become a great dancer. Third. You must have technique and last but bot least. You have to feel. Every movement. If you don't feel. Your movement. Than the audience won't.

[@djmedouble]

This routine constantly leaves me in awe! The emotion....

[@chloewilliams172]

i can watch this 1240000089 times and still get chills...amazing

did anyone else cry when lil' C started speaking? absolutely brilliant.

[@dominique4432]

Most stunning compliments ever😌🥰

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

Im so glad this show tanked. They deserve it. Because if you can't show respect. To a talent like Sasha. Then you shouldn't be on tv.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

To me it seemed like the show. Tried to make Melanie look better than Sasha at the very end. Her hardest routine was hip hop. Sasha got Wacking. Come on man. A fucking Wacking routine. At the very end of the season. That is so much bullshit. Then a cha cha routine Wtf. They tried to make Melanie look better than Sasha but it didn't work out that way. Lol. Hint:Game on. Sorry Nigel. i know you tried to make Sasha look bad but it just ended up making you look bad. I'm kind of glad Sasha didn't win. Fuck Nigel's stinking money. Everyone knows she's the best.

[@jae_294]

I adore this. The way both of them just put everything on stage. Danced their hearts out. Kent just supported her and made her shine. The way they stayed in character until the end, the way he picked her up at the e

[@Streetmind27]

when this segment for this season actually aired I saw this routine and was in awe at what I saw. me being a musician, my ex was a dancer I most truly appreciate the performing art in the most utmost way thanks Tyson, show, and performers

Literally every time I watch the routine and then hear Christina's comment, I am in tears.

[@LMmccallL57]

They have no business making my cry each time I see this! The song, dancers, choreography/choreographer, were meant to become one and give us such beauty. Thank you!

[@fanieli]

Wow... I had no idea Tyce could do contemporary... I've always thought he only had Broadway style. But MAN!!! That was the show's most dramatic choreography I've ever seen... all years combined!

[@brenale_heartsJesus]

His contemporary's were always brilliant! I still remember his breast cancer one 😭

2019 and forever fan that I had to come back before the New Year!!!

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

There is so many beautiful things. About this routine. Sasha dancing it,Sasha bearing herself to the world. Showing all her flaws. The amount of passion she displays in this dance. The feeling I get when I watch this. Wow wow wow. This girl is amazing.

[@kass2914]

Still watching this 💙

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

She is a true artist. That's why she stood out from everyone else. All the other dancers were the brushes but she was the painter.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

What amazes me about this dance. You know a person is a true artist. When they strip down and bare theirselves to the world. I consider myself a good dancer. I feel the beat. When I dance but Sasha somehow becomes the beat. All you real dancers out there. Know what i'm talking about. Her movement quality is rediculous. That in itself. Makes her legendary. She don't even need to feel the beat but ontop of her movement. She feels every performance. She also throws acting in their. Which she is very good at. She literally becomes the character in the routine. Which is so amazing. Sasha is one of those dancers . That come around every hundred years. Sasha you can honestly become even greater then Dezmon Richardson. Your that good. I also think you have. Incredible technique.

[@tierneynicholson1524]

2 years later... Still brings tears to my eyes.

[@JamesBrown-zq5zb]

Sasha was so good that season. I bet any money. That all the other dancers fans. Watch Sasha's routines over and over again. Then they say to thereselves. Man she's amazing.

[@ithomas101]

I feel it didn't because it was so deep, sad, and emotional. Absolutely incredible.

[@fanieli]

I had no idea Tyce could choregraph contemporary! I thought he was a Broadway guy! Simply beautiful!

i LOVE Kent, he is so awesome :)

kent is so perfect

[@yepitsme73]

this is my favorite dance on the show EVER i looooooove Sasha...uggh i hate this have me like such a cry baby

[@cherieagleson]

Absolutely beautiful routine! You both did fantastic!

[@monicaalicia9067]

Every time I go back and watch a Sasha performance...then a Melanie performance, I'm always left with the same conclusion: if there was ever a season to make an exception and have 2 winners, this was the season. Although, I'm happy to hear that with a few music video spots as well as a Madonna tour dancer...I'd say Sasha is having as good a post-SYTYCD career as good as any winner.

[@mayadabest]

this was so good best dance

[@krilovet6]

Never seen anything so beautiful

[@kasiahroy2082]

One of my fav performances ever!!!
