[@analuizadefigueiredosouza7851]

She has that stage presence that's captivating, playful, sassy and poweful. One of my favorite routines!

[@aaliyahmichael8853]

This is my absolute favorite. I do not understand nor see what judges see because I do not know ballet in such detail. But this is first in my eyes.

[@bagelfish8916]

Yesss! I only saw one slip up at 0:28 but the rest was soooo good i’m surprised she only got 3rd

[@UATU.]

I agree with you. I think she’s got some extra sass, moxie, or feistiness that makes her variation more memorable than others. I don’t know anything about ballet, but I enjoy this one and watch it every few days.

[@nano15j]

@bagelfish8916 she unfortunately also missed the tambourine at 0:49. Such a pity because otherwise it was soooo beautiful

[@rafaelguerrapavez8741]

Maybe is because she overcross the leg in her turns but the rest it's perfect in technique and artistry

[@jenmelroy]

Just shows how talented many are at this stage. U can trust the ones in 1st & 2nd places executed even more perfectly. But I do love this one!

[@ivoryremains]

You’re telling me this master, gorgeous, intelligent, talented, heaven sent, most likely a goddess is FIFTEEN

[@hi-hc3ms]

most likely a goddess? what, she literally is.

[@ivoryremains]

@@hi-hc3ms so real

[@aoky9179]

Her artistry is incredible. I could watch her as Esmeralda all day. She’s fantastic at captivating the audience and bringing them into the performance. Technically gorgeous but her artistry, her character work, her presence is what sets her apart

[@daniellemacdonald49]

She only won third place!? Wow. Ballet is tougher than I originally thought cause that was absolutely stunning.

[@Monocultured01]

I wonder if the music recording was working against her here. There was a lot of dead space between some of her movements, and I think that's because this is a bit of a slower version of the music (at least in the first half).

[@user-mp1hv2ng4z]

Wow ! **Jeeho Lee** as La Esmeralda ! This third place is well deserved. I adore her choreography, performance on Esmerelda, full of charm, elegance, liveliness, very clean, neat, precise, alluring, charming. Immense technical talent, great confidence and a lovely smile. Jeeho Lee is/as Esmerelda, a cheerful, radiant, brilliant gypsy. I completely crack under her charm, her finesse and delicacy with her tambourine, her lightness, so airy, she seems to be having fun, everything is only facilitated by her immense talent. Mischievous, playful, facetious, a ballerina absolutely in her role that she lives. She makes me vibrate, incredible thrills and chills. Resplendent, enthusiastic, lively and playful in her game of nuances, reliefs, light. An Esmeralda who becomes a star, a lumen, she certainly has the gift. I love her ! With admiration : )) Kudos from Lausanne, Switzerland // She is "my" favorite 👏💐🌹

Какая невероятная красавица!!! Грациозная, кокетливая - просто супер!

[@mamamememoo]

Her charisma leaps off the screen and you cannot help but be drawn into her performance. She doesn’t just dance, her whole body lives out the music and her face is expressive and captivating. She’s really amazing!!

Восхитительно, превосходно! Смотреть можно бесконечно!!!

[@mangofree]

This was GORGEOUS. She nailed this performance. Everything from her expression to how fluid all the motions felt to how she perfectly kept in sync with the music changing. I’ve watched the finale alone like, 20 times already.

У меня мурашки по коже...это просто ИДЕАЛЬНОЕ ВЫСТУПЛЕНИЕ!!! Наконец-то все движения в такт музыке !!!

[@misav3]

I saw the shorts of her dancing and had to check out the video! Shes amazing!!!

[@RoseQueen215]

she deserved the grand prize, not third...

[@FoxX289]

Это лучшая Эсмеральда из увиденных мною! Браво!!! 👏👏👏

[@balletshoes]

I have never liked the stop-and-show character of this variation. But she made it a lot more palatable and in my book that is an accomplishment. I also love how she does not bother to show off her extensions and keeps her leg lower and is not too eager to be just another crowd-pleaser, or at least that is how this performance translates to me.

[@browniemushroom]

Absolute favourite. She’s not just dancing but expressing through her face. The colour scheme, the music, her forms and facial expression are just perfect. She owns the music, the dress, the tambourine, the stage😍

[@WhitePaintbrush]

This is my favourite. She performs with so much character.

[@user-ty9rt3lf2k]

Очень интересно поставлен танец, похоже специально для этой танцовщицы. Она просто бесподобна. Смотрю уже несколько раз подряд.

[@swiftmk5480]

The timing is impeccable!!

[@mylesm4335]

Came here to say this! I've never been much into ballet before but I saw this variation on my fyp and it was so musically interesting I had to watch more.

[@nikalanna3057]

Лучшая Эсмеральда. Уверенная в себе, прекрасная и обаятельная. Улыбка, полная осознания своей красоты и силы великолепна

[@user-oc6qr1uq2k]

Мой любимый фрагмент! И как чётко танцует балерина! А какая музыка божественная! ❤

[@user-ty9rt3lf2k]

После нее пересмотрела очень многих, даже заслуженных. И все-таки она мне понравилась больше всех почему то.

[@theartemisascafe9358]

La Esmeralda must be my favorite ballet choreography. Jeeho Lee performances was totally gorgeous. ✨

[@palebranch]

She’s my favourite. What an arresting and captivating presence and performance, she isn’t dancing the character she embodies her, she hasn’t become her; she IS her. BRAVO!!! 💕💕

For sure the best of the esmeralda I’ve ever seen

Четкие точки в каждом движении, восхитительный баланс, абсолютно оправданный бубен (не как у иных балерин, которым он часто просто мешает), огненный характер! Браво!

Все прекрасно. И не важно что музыка сама по себе и балерина ее не слышит.

[@user-dg4mp3ps1o]

Она просто ЛУЧШАЯ! БРАВО!!!

[@apaloosa01]

Truly an amazing performance ! However the judges will give the 1st place because of details... one of the tambourine kicks wasn't on time with the music, and her first pirouette was not landed properly (0:27). But still... what a performance !!! 👏🏻

[@Monocultured01]

​@@apaloosa01I also think the music was working against her a bit. This version seems a tad slower than other versions of this variation, so some of the poses she's holding are a little long and you can see her stalling a bit between some of the moves in the dance.

[@pinkleprechaun52]

The best esmeralda i've ever seen. see captures the personality and what esemeralda is supposed to be

[@hobisprite7472]

I like her 😂 When I saw that she was third place and there were a lot of viewers thinking that she should be placed higher, I tried to watch the video looking for mistakes, but I ended up enjoying her performance! 💖💖 She follows the music so well, and she is so expressive! Her expressions doesn't even feel forced, it feels so natural! You can tell that she's having fun too. Hmm probably between 0:27 to 0:29 was a tiny bit shaky? Tho I know nothing about ballet and just love watching ballet online so I could be wrong 🤷‍♀️ Nevertheless she's an amazing ballerina and congrats Ms. Jeeho Lee! Can't wait for you to amaze us with wonderful performances in the future!

[@IvanIvanov-zl6qj]
