SYTYCD5 - Melissa & Ade - Contemporary (This Woman's Work) [HD]

[@cdosby43]

I'm still watching this in 2020. It was a beautiful routine then and it still is now!

[@arch410]

Here in 2021 and still loving it. It's one of my all-time favourite dance performances. 💜

[@haseulibae7083]

This was a year ago, 2022 strong and still crying at this performance.

[@kfarmdr]

I watched this originally about two weeks before my Mother-in-law died of cancer. I cried through the whole thing. I watch it at least once a year and still cry through it.

[@angiebby1122]

Here in October 2022....I remember watching this, crying like crazy ❤️❤️❤️

[@cdosby43]

It's October 29, 2022, and I had to come back and watch this again. I'm still moved to tears!

[@dorimahu1]

This is the only dance routine that I have ever openly cried to. I felt every single move in my soul. I believe this version of the song was sung by "Maxwell" and it's a testament to how powerful dance can be. To anyone who says dance is not art or it's not important, you're an idiot! I only wish that it wasn't tainted by these ignorant audience members who don't understand that sometimes you need to keep your mouth shut and just embrace the moment. Most touching routine ever!

[@mikecornell5628]

I cry every time I see this cuz my mom is dealing with this

[@VBlogger33]

Prayers for your Mom.

[@NeverEnough1]

I know what you mean about embracing the moment, but don't let it be ruined by the fact that people respond to art and express their emotions differently. you might just need to learn to tune it out the distractions or else just accept having many pieces of art ruined for you.

[@winterz49]

This performance in my opinion was the most memorable & the #1 for me, I will never ever forget it . Everytime I hear that song it brings me right back to that night when I cried my eyes out , It was so beautiful

[@gailbrooks505]

Such beautiful definition of cancer!! Woman's Work..Maxwell

[@irinaivanovic9792]

It's May 1st, 2022. This has still remained one of my all time favorite performances of this show. I teared up watching it and listening to the judges again. Just incredibly passionate dancing and told such a heartbreaking story.

[@juliefitzsimons3882]

I'm watching this for the millionth time. Still get tears. This and the addiction dance from season 5 are two of the best

[@ericamarie71291able]

It's 2021 and this performance STILL makes me tear up 😭❤️

[@fishdreamsbluebeach]

11 years later and had to watch this powerful performance again..

[@dominicwashington4023]

I cried like a baby when I first saw this .... Nigel was holding back his tears to get through his critique.

[@rockstarnurse2693]

These two are literally still friends till this day!

[@johnnykrejlgaard3339]

I can't see this! The tears in my eyes is blurring my sight! This Is Magnificent! Really Magnificent!

[@63shirochan]

this dance always makes me and my mother cry (she's lost two sisters to breast cancer). Tyce, you did an amazing job. same for Melissa and Ade.

[@joey97024]

Everytime I watch this I cry 😢 Brilliant

[@janinamv2731]

I was 18 when I first saw this performance. At that time, I absolutely loved the skill, the choreography & the execution of it all. I have watched it for the first time again almost 10 years later and I am in tears. My Mum just finished her Breast Cancer treatment and is thankfully doing so well. Art can turn the most tragic events into the most amazing and beautiful performances. Thank you for this Tyce Diorio, Melissa and Ade.

[@Msimmo35786]

2019 and I still think of this piece often

[@tessabennett5045]

I remember watching it , left me in tears, so beautifully danced.

[@mikecornell5628]

this is the most inspirational dance in SYTYCD history

[@argue.with.yourself]

Everytime I hear this song, I have to come back to this performance. This is still sooo beautiful❤

[@jerrhondawhite2403]

2022 and it STILL makes me sob! My mother died from colon cancer found too late & I always think of her when I see this piece.

[@karenm.2185]

This brought me to tears. I lost my mom to cancer last year so it was very moving to see this woman who is fighting cancer and her mate who loves her trying to support and comfort her while dealing with his own emotions and she dealing with hers. This dance was a Masterpiece.

[@KatSut1978]

2022 and I’m watching this again. I watched the night it aired and still to this day when Mia says “my daddy” I lose it. A beautiful piece of artistry from beginning to end. I send a kiss up to heaven for my loved ones that were lost to cancer every time I watch this.

[@missmlb3842]

I must have cried for a while after watching this. It touched me so deeply. I lost my mother to Multiple Sclerosis. Even after 20 years...this piece touched my soul so deeply.

[@twilightblue8566]

The song was so perfect for this dance number. Tyce DiOrio is such a talented choreographer. I hope we see him on SYTYCD this season. Superb.

[@gailbrooks505]

That Is so beautiful the way he brings her on when she couldn't carry herself! So many mixed emotions!! Thanks Maxwell

[@johnnykrejlgaard3339]

Both My Parents died of cancer. I held their hands when they step over the threshold... I carried my beloved father out of his home... That was the hardest in my life. I gave funeral speeches for both my mother and my father. They live in my mind, untill we meet again...

[@andreab2122]

After all these years I still think of this routine. When it first aired , my mother had recently beat colon cancer. Last year she lost her battle to pancreatic cancer. She was so strong and faught to the very end. God I miss her

[@patsyclime3224]

I don't think there was a dry eye in the place -- or in the AUDIENCE at home either!! Truly an incredibly affecting and important piece of work!

[@gailbrooks505]

Faith, Hope; So beautiful!! Woman's work/ Maxwell/ I haven't ever seen something so incredible !! Dance was just incredible. She had to have alot of trust in him.

[@personalspace6263]

I watch this at least once a year and I cry every time. It’s beautiful

[@Tabernale1899]

This one is still my all time favorite from the show. I didn’t even know I was that emotionally connected to dance until this piece.

[@glendaharris6042]

It’s 2022 and I still watch this beautiful dance. It brings tears to my eyes.

[@michaelcalkins8648]

I have watched this so many times now, and it still,impacts me like the first time. Possibly the best dance routine ever.

[@deblee1006]

this is the best ever routine. the contrast between dance steps, movement,even skin color was magical. they blended together in pure perfection. this was just.... breath takenly beautiful

[@lauramessina4978]

my mom passed away from breast cancer the first time i saw this piece I cried my eyes out its so powerful so beautiful just amazing....rest in peace my beautiful mommy i miss u so u would have loved this piece its for u i love u so

[@nachos4children]

I remember seeing this dance when it originally aired and being moved by it. Then, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2020 and now this piece means more than I ever knew it could. Thank you, Tyce.

[@zgirlizfine]

this was the 1st dance that ever move me to tears

[@georgereinhardt7481]

+zgirlizfine You should look up the dance Mia choreographed with Lacey and Neil and it is about a reunion with her and her father in heaven. It is AMAZING.

[@suestowe4768]

I watched this episode when it aired and a few days later a friend lost her battle with breast cancer. What the judges said rang true-this song/dance will be remembered for years. Just as moving today (2022) as it was then!

[@KimberLeeWuvsYou]

Thank you Tyce, Ade and Melissa for such a beautiful piece of work. God Bless my family members and friends who have fought or are fighting breast cancer. Please stay strong

[@vanessadoramus7110]

The fact that everyone was left speechless after watching this, is beyond me. Just wow!!! No words!!

[@JammJammiess]

I recently did this routine with a friend of mine at a breast cancer awareness fund raiser. I cannot tell you how many people came up to us and just wanted to thank us for performing. This is an amazing piece and I am proud to say I got the chance to perform it.

[@boowtsbabe]

Gottt dammmmmit I'm at work and the can't control the emotions nor tears. This piece is art at its best. I love SYTYCD for opening doors and exposing the beauty in dance.

[@CHRISTINA2994]

Best male dancer ever on SYTYCD!

[@marydlisbon4118]

What can I say but thank you to Adee and Melissa for dancing that so beautiful and giving it life ,I could watch it over an over❤❤❤❤❤

[@lilbit2870]

@ 7:05 " they want you to be okay. It's about you being okay". That hit deep. Bc when I went through treatments and surgery for stage 3 thyroid cancer. I couldn't think about myself and ky battle. I only wanted my friends and family to be okay

[@joey97024]

BRINGS ME TO TEARS 😭💗 AND 2022

[@joey97024]

I can watch this over and over again 😭🤘

[@gailbrooks505]

I'm just seeing this May 5, 2023...so awesome Woman's Work by Maxwell!! Just so dynamite!! Absolutely incredible!!

[@carrielbarber55]

As a woman who was seriously ill with ANOTHER issue, a few years back, for several years, before diagnosis, and successful treatment, this dance number, FOR ME, illustrated how much of a fight it can be, not only to BEAT the illness, after struggling to get diagnosed, but, to rebuild, after You've beat it. It shows the strength needed, and, that it IS possible to tap into that strength, and create something beautiful.

[@Houseboundcph]

I cry every single time I see this beautiful beautiful piece

[@hellokittygirl15]

Man why am I finding all the routines that are making me cry this morning.... Anyone who has had breast cancer, knows someone who has of had it, or knows anyone who is trying to survive with cancer period, will truly feel this piece. I really should have got some tissue before watching this....but the routine is beautiful. I also love Ade, one of my favorite Dancers.

[@zoehalliday8104]

Still going back and watching this routine in 2021 anytime I hear this song somewhere it reminds me of how amazing this was!

[@leahmedeiros2029]

I am hospice nurse and I have seen a lot to say the least but I remember my mother who also was a nurse and dying at 48 , She was cut short and the strongest woman I ever knew and I saw this on TV and it broke my heart and moved me more than ever. Just beautiful !

[@mvb679]

This routine and “gravity” by kyla & koupono ( i hope i spelled that correctly ) will always be my favorite 🥺🥺🥺🙏🏼

[@leahmedeiros2029]

I forgot to say I was on a break at work when this was on and I never watched the show, I was sobbing and I was never moved like this ever ! Thank you Tyce Diorio, Melissa and Ade

[@lynettegodwin8905]

This is the most beautiful dance I have ever seen.

[@TheSunstoneSlayer]

Every time I watch this piece, I start crying. I desperately want my mom back but I know I won't ever get her back because cancer is an awful awful thing in this world and it takes people who we don't want to go or deserve to go.

[@josevich]

Watching this in 2021. Still crying. This is one of the most memorable dance I've ever seen. I will never forget this

[@lilbit2870]

It's timeless for sure. Nigel was right when he said no one could've danced or capture the emotions like Melissa and Ada.

[@princeargyle1]

What is Life about ?? This video decribes it ALL !!!! Ladies & Gentleman Please give a loud congratulations For Melissa & Ade !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KeiKeiSingss2029]

Gosh, when she fell into his arms.. This is a very powerful piece.

[@scrappinkar1]

I have a friend suffering from breast cancer and this really moved me years ago. It is so moving and still brings me to tears!

[@eskimoicecream1]

This is my favorite contemporary piece that SYTYCD has given us :) it was SO powerful and touching. While I may not be the most techincal dancer right now, I hope one I will be able to touch someone's heart the way that Ade and Melissa did in this piece

[@felicitynomfundo1804]

[@ohc99]

omg this year's (2013) SYTYCD winner Amy is in the audience at this performance at 6:39! seeing this performance must have inspired her to work that much harder to be on the show! and look at where she is now just a few years later, a winner and probably an all-star!

[@MissLissiet]

That’s not Amy is it? I thought it was that girl who plays April on Grey’s anatomy..

[@ifeelpretty5790]

Olivia Hsu-Cheng That's not Amy, she would've been a kid at this time.

[@princeargyle1]

Can't STOP watching tis video or crying ......

[@LaydayEruanna]

Don't worry, I`m already in tears by the time Mia starts crying.
