Maddie only beat her by just one point. Maddie scored around 93 in the junior category while kalani scored around 92 in the teen category. They both got first place in their respective categories but maddie scored just one point higher.
She's such a beautiful dancer and more advanced than Maddie. Kalani is capable of so much more than this, I wish Abby would give her good choreography and music like she does for Maddie.
Liana Abby cannot choreograph for Kalani. She simply can’t seem to show all of her talent. When she did Alexa’s solo- OMG. So insane. And so are her other solos not done by Abby. They’re so much more contemporary. Don’t get me wrong, Abby has her talents- but she’s confused w Kalani
DanceMoms BOSS All of you please stop suggesting Maddie didn't deserve her win. Kalani was amazing in her solo but so was Maddie. Stop your rumors Gabby Howard. Abby doesn't pay judgess off. Maddie can win on her own. Contemporary wins just as much as lyrical. Maddie's solo was pretty flawless (so was Kalani) and her musicality and emotion was there. It was a close call. Maddie received highest score in Jr and Kalani did in Teens. Maddie won overall Overalls by 1.3 against Kalani so it was really close. The scores are on the website. Maddie may have won with performance because she played her character so well. She was ethereal and graceful and the turns at the end were breathtaking.
there is no reason Kalani should have lost to Maddie. They're both great but Kalani is more entertaining, her technique is getting so much better everything is always so clean, she is flexible, her stage presence in my eyes is so much better than Maddie's. I think it comes down to Maddie being a known hot commodity at this point its not really fair for her to compete she should be considered a professional honestly.
@Miss Angy kalani has better facials and emotion than kalani and has better performance quality to be fair but kalani definitely has the better technique and flexibility so they both have their strengths but maddie isn't a terrible technical dancer
Kalani did great and I am so proud of her inprovements!! Maddie also did really good too!! They both got the places they deserved. I was so glad too see aldc girls kick some butt! ;D xD
maybe maddie beats kalani everytime because Kalani never has any turns in her solos. Although turns aren't her specialty , they would add a lil something extra to her performance and maybe shed win that way, but her solo was just beautiful!
It has nothing to do with turns. Kalani and her studio not only win but get judges awards at each comp they go to and they never have turns. Kalani and Maddie are in two different age categories and teens are scored harsher than junior that's why Maddie won. If they were in the same category Kalani would have won.
I think it’s clear that Kalani was the stronger dancer but her choreography is literally just her right leg, a front aerial and a split leap. Abby stacked the deck in Maddie’s favour. It’s clear to everyone that Maddie is not on the same level as Kalani but she received better choreography. Abby is the first person to say don’t put the same move in a two minute routine twice yet she had Kalani kick her right leg 10 times in this solo 🤷🏻♂️
one of the best solos in dance moms history.. kalanis technique is insane first of all and i remember being straight up frightened of this dance because of the amount of flexibility HAHDHFH but its seriously incredible
I think kalani is a way better dancer than maddie. The thing about maddie that i love is she knows how to tell a story. Her facials really come alive in her dancing
this is my favorite Kalani dance. second is Unless You Say You're Sorry (S4, E13). Kalain truly put her personality into this solo and it shows. hopefully Kalani can be consistent in her solos and prove herself more. she wasn't as smooth and flawless as maddie but Kalani if you keep these up you will be as flawless as maddie. so happy for both girls
This is kalani's best performance yet on the show! I think she could have won if she got more into character. She hit the accents which was great and it's nice to see her do a theme besides elegant and pretty. Abby said she is innocent who has a secret or something. I didn't see the character in her face. To improve her performance, she could have hit some movements sharper to make it more edgy like the song.
Just beautiful, literally kalani is very good in flexibility and elastic aerials, this song is very beautiful and goes with the choreography, I can say that the costume is also beautiful, it has everything🥺💖
this solo should certainly have won, the level of technique is extremely superior to Maddie's but Maddie has gained a beautiful lyrical solo, with a beautiful costume and beautiful music, while Kalani won a bad song, a boring and repetitive choreography.
Omg I love kalani....tbh I already knew MADDIE was gonna win CUZ everyone knows her now but if she wasn't I honestly think KALANI would win no h8 CUZ I love maddie
The only reason Maddie won was because she was in the wrong age catagory...Juniors is for 9-11 Maddie is 12..she should have been competing in the teen category with kalani ._. Most of these competitions are fake anyway...
that’s not necessarily true. competitions don’t just go by age but by your date of birth on the first day of january and so many other rules. look at the clip when brooke went against a candy apple girl who was lying about her age. brooke competed in the 10-12 even though she was 13 because at that competition they did it by your age at the start of the month. please do research before you spread lies about basic things. and stop hating on a little girl my gosh. the sudden amnesia for how things work when it comes to maddie is very scary to watch from the commenters.
I don’t want to take anything away from Nias win as she really deserved ti shine. But this solo was incredible and the technique was incredible and her flexibility is insnae. It was clear there was never a competition between nia and Kalani for a nationals solo
there Is no reason Kalani should have lost to maddie. they're both great but Kalani is more enteraining, her technique is getting so much better everything is always so clean, she is flexbile, her stage presence in my eyes is so much better than maddie's I think it comes down to Maddie being a known hot commodity at this point it's not really fair for her to compete she's Kalani is a amazing. definitely one of the best dancers on the team. this coustume looks abosolutely Gorgeous On Kanlni! it flatters her and her body shape so well.
Kalani is much more capable than that, Abby is doing as her whole life did with Elliana: giving extremely basic soils to them and not even having the job of adapting to the level of technique and versatility. even so, this soil should surely have won Maddie's.
Seniors are scored more harshly than juniors! That is why maddie beat her in the overalls. I LOVE maddie but if they were in the same age group kalani would have won.
clearly none of you are competition dances so you don't know what a judge is looking for. kalani has great technique and persistence but lacks emotion and fluidity . she dances from one move to the other. when Maddie dancers you feel something and connects to it. she tells a story. they both have great flexibility and they have great choreo. it is up to the judges to decide whether or not they feel for a dance .
Lacks fluidity? Watch Unless you say Sorry, or Unbeauty. She's the most fluid dancer on the show. It's not her fault that Abby keeps giving her tricks and bad choreography when she's not an acro dancer. And, I'm sorry, but Timeless made me cringe. Maddie was good, but it shouldn't have beaten this. It should have beaten Kalani under ANY circumstances...
I have seen Maddie's dance. her technique is not constant. she won because she is famous. i don't like the way she dances. she has no grace at all. sometimes she is all over the place especially in group dances. over the top expressions. just my opinion
gorgeous KHGTS sure Maddie won bc she's famous...🙄 Maddie is perfectly capable of winning on her own. She won in season 1 and 2 all the time and she wasn't famous then. The scores were separated by like one point. I think they both did very well, and I love Maddie and Kalani but you don't have to say Maddie only wins because she's famous
Jennifer Rivera that's the epitome of an opinion honey. Maddie is far from perfect, her technique is extremely lacking. That releve is WEAK! You're obviously not a dancer, so shut your ignorant mouth.
You want to know why Maddie beat Kalani? Here's why: Maddie knows how to tell a story. Notice how Kalani's face throughout almost the entire dance it was blank. Maddie's acting skills are much higher. Both have beautiful technique.
Two different age categories. Kalani is a teen so hers get sores harsher. If they were both in the same category Kalani would have won and the judges wouldn't have found it hard to break a tie.
Molly Apple It's obvious Kalani has better technique and lines than Maddie. From the neck up, it's obvious Maddie is superior, but from the neck down, it's obvious as well that Kalani is the superior dancer in that department.
+Molly Apple I wouldn't say that ones facial expressions are better than the other. To me, Maddie her facial expressions come from acting, Kalani's from the ability to empathize. I prefer Kalani's dancing because she empathizes with her whole body. They're different dancers, I do have my preference, but I think it's useless to compare them, since they are unique, to me it's just a matter of personal taste. I tend to like Maddie more in groupdances and prefer Kalani for solo's.
Austin and Ally gave Maddie a bad role :/ she did better on drop dead diva... I can't wait till The Book Of Henry comes out and you guys eat your words lol
I agree with renbunny the thing that bothers me about dance moms is that they make it seem like facials and emotion are a huge part of dance when what really matters the most is technique.
This costume looks absolutely GORGEOUS on Kalani! It flatters her and her body shape so well.
I disagree- it's falling off her. She pulls it up at 0:48. That might be why she lost.
Mac Weilman same tbh
her feet are flawless and she's so flexible!
kalani is amazing. definitely one of the best dancers on the team
*the best dancer on the team
+Holly Park right. lol
Zephie lovet *the best
Everyone on that team is the best at a certain type of dance in their own right btw
@@deejaycollins2240 That is 100% true, but when it comes to technique and flexibility, Kalani takes the top spot.
Maddie only beat her by just one point.
Maddie scored around 93 in the junior category while kalani scored around 92 in the teen category. They both got first place in their respective categories but maddie scored just one point higher.
Kalani has such amazing technique, she's such a beautiful dancer to watch!
She's such a beautiful dancer and more advanced than Maddie. Kalani is capable of so much more than this, I wish Abby would give her good choreography and music like she does for Maddie.

she's a older ofc she's more advanced give madie a break
@@breannagowers4103 true
Still don't know how Maddie beat her..
I know. The musicality was unreal.
Because abby pays the judges for Maddie to win
Maddie had a lyrical dance thats y if they had the same type of dance she would beat maddie

This comp is a crock of shit bc maddie is 12 so she should've competed in the teen category, which is 12-14, along with Kalani. Junior is 9-11
there is no reason Kalani should have lost to Maddie. They're both great but Kalani is more entertaining, her technique is getting so much better everything is always so clean, she is flexible, her stage presence in my eyes is so much better than Maddie's. I think it comes down to Maddie being a known hot commodity at this point its not really fair for her to compete she should be considered a professional honestly.
IKR
I think it’s because kalani has no emotion
@@lisasikod4326 oh no she has greattt! Emotion have you even watched her other dances?? Abby mostly praises kalani cause of her emotions and technique
@Miss Angy kalani has better facials and emotion than kalani and has better performance quality to be fair but kalani definitely has the better technique and flexibility so they both have their strengths but maddie isn't a terrible technical dancer
Kalani did great and I am so proud of her inprovements!! Maddie also did really good too!! They both got the places they deserved. I was so glad too see aldc girls kick some butt! ;D xD
Wow her control and technique is just so amazing I could watch her dance all day. This costume was gorgeous aswell
FRAGILE FOREST by Kalani WAS THE BEST DANCE ON THE SHOW OK!!!!!!
Agreed
Except it wasn't on the show and lifetime just uploaded it to youtube instead lol. But I agree
The Trendy Williams Show I like left cycle and botched by Brynn better
My fav is come to the carebet
I'm sorry this should've beat maddie solo
Agreed
No it doesn't in my mind lol
Julia Arbes then ur out of ur mind
They both danced amazing, but Kalani deserved to win.
@@padmasrisridhar7353 what is wron with you all
One of the most beautiful & talented young dancers I have ever seen.
if only people would be happy for kelani and maddie about there performance instead of comparing them 🙄
maybe maddie beats kalani everytime because Kalani never has any turns in her solos. Although turns aren't her specialty , they would add a lil something extra to her performance and maybe shed win that way, but her solo was just beautiful!

Larry Osburn kalani can do amaizing turns!! Did you see it on AUDC?
@@mercifal also Maddie wasn't in the right age division
@@mercifal well Club dance never attended fake comps
Her feet are seriously so beautiful I literally stare at them. God she is so talented.
She does have beautiful flexibility tho. Comment 👣👰🏼 if you agree Kalani should have won (not trying to be mean to Maddie)
She would’ve won. Maddie did do great but kalani’s just looks so much better
@@beyblade332 your opinion simp 👁👄👁
Okay, Maddie's solo was good, but HOW did it beat this??

Why everyone hates this costume it's low key good imo ??!!!!
Fact: if they were in the same age division HANDS DOWN KALANI EINS THE COMP (not try to be dramatic or hating)
I think Kalani has better technique then Maddie. Maddie does the same turns the same leaps in every solo. Kalani changes it up in her solos
this is my favorite Kalani dance. second is Unless You Say You're Sorry (S4, E13).
Kalain truly put her personality into this solo and it shows. hopefully Kalani can be consistent in her solos and prove herself more. she wasn't as smooth and flawless as maddie but Kalani if you keep these up you will be as flawless as maddie. so happy for both girls
Tbh Nia, Brooke, Chloe, Paige, Maddie, and Kalani are on another dance level.
They know that it's Kalani and not Kendall now!
Kalani is one of the most beautifil dancers! I love her costume; It really flatters her body
This is kalani's best performance yet on the show! I think she could have won if she got more into character.

nah bro do you see those leg turns how is that not edgy
Beautiful job as always.
Kalani was on a whole different level!! Her technique, flexibility, and acting were superb!!
She deserved the first place
maddie 2nd
kalani 1st
Virginie Gorce lol I wish
if the comp wasnt fake n rigged then yep it wouldve been like that
Just beautiful, literally kalani is very good in flexibility and elastic aerials, this song is very beautiful and goes with the choreography, I can say that the costume is also beautiful, it has everything🥺💖
i feel like they’re scared of her beating maddie so her solos aren’t as hard as she can actually do..

Great Kalani love it so talent your technique is better than any I've seen this season
Omg I love kalani....tbh I already knew MADDIE was gonna win CUZ everyone knows her now but if she wasn't I honestly think KALANI would win no h8 CUZ I love maddie
I love this solo!!! My favorite Kalani solo
a gorgeous solo for a gorgeous girl
Awards of this dance
2nd overall
1st in teen 292.3 points
Fun fact:kalani has been on 4 TV shows & is going to be in a movie
kalani is so pretty and such a beautiful dancer like if you agree!! :)

Does anyone knows the name of the singer? God, I´ve been in love with the song since I saw kalani dancing to it
Same what’s the song
Did anyone else think about Sophia Lucia when watching this solo??
Kalani did amazing she had gorgeous technique and beautiful flexibility
I like the costume!!!!
Does anyone know what song this is?? ☺️

Where is maddie's full solo... don't understand why lifetime can't upload it
I bet Kalani can handle Maddie coreography! 😌💕
Seniors are scored more harshly than juniors! That is why maddie beat her in the overalls. I LOVE maddie but if they were in the same age group kalani would have won.
Why can't Australia see it
Ireland can't either😭
Apparently Australia doesn't exist, lol. 😂
0:20 what is the name of that skill????
Chest stand in split
a helicopter
If there was ever a solo to somewhat compare to the Investment by Alexa it would be this one
Very nice
what’s the song though??

She won her age category but lost in overalls and I think she should had won im not fighting with no one period.
I think maddie might have one because kalanis musicality is a little off in this number..that's the only thing I can think of
Go kalani
I feel like she keeps getting the same old dance moves and the same old choreography.

To be honest Kalani dances 10000 times better than Maddie. Maddie idk how she dances its like she doesn't have strength.
if kalani is better than her. theu shouldnt have won because it is called a solo for a reason and that means they are equally great😏
Not really Kalani did better technique and flexibility, and Maddie did better with the emotion.

Way better than Maddie
Why did she look so weird doing this? 1:17
I think it's because she didn't straighten her leg, like she normally does. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be bent though.
I think this was beautiful! But I still think Maddie should’ve won. I think this choreography suits Brooke more

Hold on is this the real song ?? The music is so bad i cant believe they made her compete on it
Beautiful dancer. Horrible song.
