No matter how much time goes by, this performance can still bring me to tears. It wasn’t just the beautiful choreography or the beauty of the dancers themselves, but the emotion they both showed that makes it amazing.
It looked like they both broke down in tears at that end of hugging. But hugging in a way of if you dont you will die! This was the most soul warming dance!!
There has never been any performance like this one !! Derek & Kellie complimented each other and their chemistry was so deep it took over as they shook in each other's arms during their last embrace . It took my breath away.
I remember watching and it’s one of those moments that I’ve never forgotten. I admire Derek’s choreography and Kelli’s dedication. He’s an amazing dancer.
Derek is an incredible artist. He and Kellie were a perfect match, this dance is my all-time favorite such strength and execution, outstanding choreography
I've watched this dance over hundred times and still never got enough. Great dance from Derek and kellie. I know Derek very well and he's One of my best dancers. Voice from Africa
The way Derek and Kellie hugged each other (not once but twice) at the end spoke volumes about their partnership. This was a match made in heaven. DWTS should be proud for having this pair in its history.
@@judyroberson4976 Rubbish gymnastics my backside shows how little you know! This is modern freesystyle expressive dance telling a story in the most modern way of dance! Brilliant and emotive!! You need to open your eyes and your heart, try watching the brilliant Maddie Ziegler especially in the videos she did with Sia. Expressive dance at it's very best!
Watching all the contributions of Kellie and Derek during Season 16 gave me a whole new perspective on Kellie. I thought she was FABULOUS from the beginning. The trust she had in Derek shows over and over again. And, Derek was able to display his genius with her. This is my favorite season because of these two.
That was absolutely stunning. So much emotion behind it. It is 2024 and I am seeing this for the first time. I could see and feel the emotion even before I knew the back story. This deserved to win.
This performance will stand above all others. The emotion was awesome to watch as well as painful at the same time. Derek always gets the feelings to come from the dancers. Like Kellie and Bindi. It left me crying❤😢
That was mesmerizing!!! I’m not a dancer but is Kellie not super close to be classified as a professional?! They both did phenomenal but she was breathtaking and flawless. 🏆 👏❤💃👏 ❤💃
A “ professional “ ,in any description, simply and only means a person who gets paid for what they do. It doesn’t have to do with the quality of their work.
Derek is an inspiration not just as a performer but as a Human role model, we should all be so inclined to be as loving, kind, Ambitious and genuinely considerate to others and their feelings, inpirations and dreams as he has been for so many people, he is truly a Super Star Human being and a Treasure among the Stars💫🎉
Forget once-in-a-generation talent.... Hough is a once-in-a-lifetime talent. I NEVER get tired of watching his choreography. As much as I love SYTYCD, I don't understand how he doesn't win Emmys every year.
WOW!!! This was the most Beautiful, Amazingly, Dance performance I have ever seen in my life. Some music makes me cry with chills, but I have never cried after a dance performance , what a Blessing. God Bless love’s 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
It was the first time anyone had done a contemporary for the freestyle and it was so jaw droppingly impressive that after that everyone wanted to do a contemporary freestyle. Once again the trend maker. Derek was and is always the best.
Magnificent interpretation and physical awareness complimenting both dancers. Kudos if Derek braved his trust and talent of Pickler! Sensational. Could watch grace forever. BT
Kellie Pickler: from tiny town southern girl to elegantly beautiful Superstar. ❤❤❤ Derek always knows how to make his partners shine. Best choreographer ever.
I can't believe how strong Derek is, and he makes it look so effortless. Crazy!
Watching in 2023, still unequalled. TY for the share❤
Holy Smokes! Kelly looks like a professional dancer. Such great choreography from Derek.
No matter how much time goes by, this performance can still bring me to tears. It wasn’t just the beautiful choreography or the beauty of the dancers themselves, but the emotion they both showed that makes it amazing.
And there's the "Im crying" post for attention that gets made in every comment section. Gratz you got your upvotes.
@@echoechoecho7142 And there is the asshole who thinks he needs to be a judgmental jerk to try and prove some kind of point....Congrats !!
For my money, that was and is the most beautiful dance from DWTS, ever. So pure, and such perfect storytelling.
The last couple of years there are no dances even close to how beautiful that was.
That was one of the most beautiful dances on DWTS ever!!!! Absolute perfection!!!!!!!!
You’re so right…perfection.
Yeah, this was the dance that set the bar for Contemporary dances. This truly was breathtaking. Even now👏👏👏👏👏
It looked like they both broke down in tears at that end of hugging. But hugging in a way of if you dont you will die! This was the most soul warming dance!!
THE INCREDIBLE SYNCHRONICITY BETWEEN THE TWO
SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY EXPLOSIVE
BRAVISSIMO
This made me cry.
It’s so beautiful and strong and vulnerable.
So breathtaking!

No it didnt
My favorite dance ever on DWTS! Praying for Kellie!! 🙏🏼
There has never been any performance like this one !! Derek & Kellie complimented each other and their chemistry was so deep it took over as they shook in each other's arms during their last embrace . It took my breath away.
One of my all time favorite dances! Prayers still going out to Kellie❤
That’s back when DWTS was good. Love Derek he is so talented his choreography is amazing.
You should watch this season, it was good again. Even Derek thinks so.
Why have I only found this masterpiece this year just why
it’s 2020.
I watched this the night they first danced it. I still come back to watch it.
Because zendaya’s been hiding it 😂
One of the best performances I have ever seen on DWTS. I still get chills when watching. ❤
Love this!!!!!
Kellie's performance was as good as any of the pro's. That also tells you just how good Derek is as a teacher. Amazing performance.
A dance from 7 years ago, yet it is so beautiful till this time and forever.....
Yes, Derek's a great dancer but he's an incredible choreographer. He's so creative and brave. You go Derek!!!
He's a phenomenal dancer, not just great. 🤣

They were stunning, brilliant, magical and incredibly talented ❤
I remember watching this live 9 years ago. Something magical took place. You could feel it through the TV!!
Same
This dance was just so beautiful and deserved the win.
That is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!
The way Derek and Kellie hugged each other (not once but twice) at the end spoke volumes about their partnership. This was a match made in heaven. DWTS should be proud for having this pair in its history.
Yes this was beautiful but I didn’t see one dance step. This was gymnastics.
@@judyroberson4976 gymnastics or not, it was fine for a freestyle

Take no notice. You're entitled to your opinion. Once they start spouting Zeigler... (predictable) drop it, move on.
@@judyroberson4976 read, it's called a FREESTYLE
I remember seeing this as they did it and it was as heartbreakingly beautiful and perfect as it is the 10th time I watched it. Well deserved win!
UNBELIEVABLE - incredible !! the best of the best; I've always thought Derek Hough was the best male dancer and teacher, so I'm elated
AND the best choreographer. Which is very impressive - so few dancers are great at all three.
Thanks Veronica for saying it so beautifully..
This was amazing! Kellie looked like a professional dancer. Beauty and Grace. ❤️🤗
This was my fav dance of all time on DWTS.
I could watch Derek dance all day. What a beautiful dance & partnership. Just amazing.
I could watch Derek dance all day also.
This is such a beautiful performance. I watch it several times a year.
I have goosebumps. She made it look effortless. I’m impressed Derek❤❤❤
My gosh she was fantastic…as good as the pros. Derek is without a doubt a superstar dancer and choreographer.,
Wow! I wasn’t expecting much but OMG….WOWOWOW!!!!!!
It always brings a tear to my eye watching this. One of the most beautiful dances to this day.

That was a stunning choreography and it is still a memorable one to keep in the vault as they say.🕺🏾💃🏽❤
That was absolutely stunning. So much emotion behind it. It is 2024 and I am seeing this for the first time. I could see and feel the emotion even before I knew the back story. This deserved to win.
Yes indeed it raised the bar! It touched my heart then and it touches my heart tonight. Simply magnificent! ❤'ed it!
Absolutely beautiful…emotional and technical…simply excellent🎉
So stunning and graceful
One of the best dances ever here…knew he could but had no idea Kelli could do this!
Wow! Kelly is a strong dancer and in amazing shape. The core strength she has to be able to preform that dance is amazing.
I agree! It is amazing!
Insane choreography and Kellie looks like a pro. Beautiful dance
This performance will stand above all others. The emotion was awesome to watch as well as painful at the same time. Derek always gets the feelings to come from the dancers. Like Kellie and Bindi. It left me crying❤😢
This is my fave freestyle of season 16! I was so happy when kellie and derek won!
I heard her husband passed away
I'm praying for her!
She was my favorite celebrity with a Derek Hough❤ still to this day favorite dance of all time
One of the most beautiful dances I've ever seen...multiple times...I cry every time
That was mesmerizing!!! I’m not a dancer but is Kellie not super close to be classified as a professional?! They both did phenomenal but she was breathtaking and flawless. 🏆
👏❤💃👏 ❤💃

Derek is an inspiration not just as a performer but as a Human role model, we should all be so inclined to be as loving, kind, Ambitious and genuinely considerate to others and their feelings, inpirations and dreams as he has been for so many people, he is truly a Super Star Human being and a Treasure among the Stars💫🎉
My all time favorite dance...Derek and Kelly nailed it with strength and elegance!!!!!
That was excellent! She kept up with him perfectly! Really impressive!
This was incredible, Derek is always good but Kelli dances like a professional dancer.
i hope she finds peace and stays strong. losing her husband is heart shattering. r. i. p
ikr ?! That was what I was thinking too.
Derek has passion moves me beyond words! I loved our cups and Kelly Pickler’s dance they’re perfect together!!
Forget once-in-a-generation talent.... Hough is a once-in-a-lifetime talent. I NEVER get tired of watching his choreography. As much as I love SYTYCD, I don't understand how he doesn't win Emmys every year.
Kelly is so talented in so many ways. She is quite funny and truly genuine. 💞
She is lovely! I've seen her in concert a few times and she is genuine and quick witted. And she can sing!
@@suzannequinson8439 I have some of her songs, saved. When she was on American Idol, I wanted her to win. 💞
hope she is doing okay with the passing of her husband...very sad
@@AMilo-qm4ed suicide, yes? Very tragic! 😔
Kellie is so talented and also such a down-to-earth, nice person. I don’t know why she hasn’t become a bigger star than she has. She’s awesome.
Derek & Kelly were my favorite couple of all the shows combined. Never a step off, always perfect! 2nd was Derek & Bindi, also perfect.
she's a natural! omg. like her arabesque at 0:30 is amazing!
She's truly excellent
I'm just today seeing this and it was spectacular! Derek and Kellie deserved their trophy, this was amazing!
I loved that dance. They were very professional and very good. I have watched it many times.
Kelly was unbelievable. Just WOw!!

This looks like a So You Think You Can Dance routine, with two well-trained dancers instead of one & a star! GORGEOUS!!
They were unbelievable! Amazing performance!

I don't even know who she is but she did look like a professional dancer. Well done

ABSOUTELY BREATHTAKING!!!!
