Yep same. The best dance ever on the show imo! I absolutely love it. I never forget when i watched it for the first time on tv, gave me goosebumps and fell in love with the song too.
I have to watch this once a month and I have to watch it like 10 times on repeat, it’s so good. Mark’s choreography is perfection and they both execute the sh*t out of it. Also, fantastic song choice and use of the props 10/10 for the whole shebang!
I can't even express how much I love this dance. And that ending! How does he even stop her there?! Definitely my favorite of Jenna's! I wish they would have brought back Mark for more choreography... he's one of my favorite contestants from this show, he's just so original! I lived for his solos.
Okay, how much do I love it when Mark grabs her braid and they begin to strut at :37, she matched him stride for stride, step for step as if they were joined at the hip. Perfect timing and quirky movements. And at :59 when the singer says PRAAAA!!!! Simply awesome.
Was never a fan of jenna honestly but THIS. PIECE. IS. ABSOLUTELY. BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!! Both choreography AND execution. She completely embodied the phenomenon Mark wanted to show, and then some. Absolutely gorgeous piece. Changed my opinion of how i felt about jenna. TRULY ICONIC!!!! Way ahead of time…
Mark is probably my favourite contestant of all time and when they brought him back I was SO HAPPY and he pulled this out and it was AMAZING (and I was so proud to hear he was working for Gaga)
This and the Saturn Twins with Amy & Jasmine are ridiculously so good. I have been looking for this video for months and finally found it. Mark is an effing genius, and like sistersyfy I stood up and took notice of Jenna (who was awesome in this number). They should invite Mark back every season so he can infect the joint with his quirkiness. Love, love, love this dance number.
OMG I could re-watch this again and again! Oh wait, I already do! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Without a doubt, my absolute favorite dance on any season of SYTYCD. Fast, Difficult, & Weird!!! YES!!!
I CANNOT STOP WATCHING THIS! Mark and Jenna...this dance.....OMG. JUST OMG. Mark Kanemura, I am still in love with you ever since season 4. This dance should not only win Emmys (don't know if it had that year), but it's beyond awards. It's magical. P.S. 27 people who disliked this have no souls
wow i came to see how jenna was like when she was on sytycd and this is nothing short of amazing! her moves are so clean and sharp and wow. brilliant choreography too!! side note: omg emma on the right at 3:14 !!
Try SHINee and Infinite. They're well-known for their extremely hard dances and 99.9% synchronisation? SHINee-Lucifer or Sherlock and Infinite-Before The Dawn or Back or Man In Love. Most Kpop groups do choreo that are either really hard to follow, really easy to follow or somewhere in between. Personally, I like Super Junior cause they have hard yet some are easy to follow dances (Sorry sorry or Mr Simple. Can go check those out) or MBLAQ. But, yeah. Hope this helps! :DD
Who else is here because they saw it had 2ne1 in here?✋ And when the song got to the chorus the "Bom duh ratatata ratatatata" was honestly the actual dance to the song. This is truly a milestone song for Kpop at the time. It was a big deal and it's so famous that if you like Kpop you can't not have heard this song.
I watched this first when it came out, I think it was 2012 or 2013, and I got into Kpop a year or two after, but I had completely forgot about this performance, so when I got into 2NE1 and I heard this song, it was killing me that I knew I had heard the song somewhere but I just could not figure it out. And I just figured it out. I fucking knew it. God bless. #blackjackforlife
For all of Mark's crazy, fun quirkiness, he's equally as intense~especially when teaching his choreography, which I've always thought is amazing to watch. I love how you can see it in the gaze he holds with her and the nod of approval at 2:03 , followed by the sweet forehead kiss. I love his personality.
Here it is 2021, almost 6-7yrs later and by far, this routine is one of my top 10 favorites. This is why I tell people, "You can do any type of movement with your body that looks so bad and cringy, but throw in a track that matches the rythum with some kickass bass, get a partner or a few other people into a group, teach everyone some ridiculous body moves, get everyone synchronized on tempo and BOOM,,,,, It turns out to be a smoking hot dance routine that look so well Orchestraed, leaving the audience or viewers jawdropped, wanting more. Trust me, I know this as facts, "HOW?" You may ask. Simple and easy, I'VE CHOREOGRAPHED CHEERLEADERS Halftime show DANCE ROUTINES or COMPETITION DANCE ROUTINES plenty of times Helping them win 1st place 4 times for the first ever in their district. It wasn't easy for me to teach an entire group vs just having crazy fun with my daughter and her friend. During practice my daughter and her friend would teach some of their teammates just for fun, just to turn around and have 7 of their teammates here at my house practicing. Their cheer coach was having a hard time coming up with a dance routine for competition. A day before competition, The girls that learned my choreo, taught the rest of the team. Some of the girls criticized the routine calling it stupid and so on. They had two options, to do the routine their coach taught them or to do mines. Their coach routine was out voted. They did their cheers and finally the routine. I wanted to cover my eyes but I couldn't. The audience at first looked confused but then started cheering them on. Waiting nervously for the results, I was very skeptical if they would even come in place. They finally announced the firat place winners and I swear, thing went into slow motions. The girls were so excited. This was their school first win. The principal called me and asked if I would be the team's choreographer. The team begged the principal to have me on board with them. It was an honor. They placed 1st place each year for 4yrs. I stopped teaching dance because my daughter no longer went to that school and wasn't on the cheerleading team because she started high school. It was bitter sweet but at least that school have 4 first place trophys they can be proud of. So yes crazy dance moves that don't look like dance moves can be the best dance moves and routine. It's up to the dancers to bring these moves to life. Period.
I was not a Jenna fan, for some reason she didn't click with me at all. And then I saw this. I don't know what the difference was, but seeing her in this made me do a complete 180 of my opinion of her.
I felt the same way about her. I was always annoyed with the judges for saving her, and then she did this routine with Mark and I was immediately glad she was there for it.
I was SO excited when I first saw this performance!! I was like, “FINALLY!” Ive listened to K-pop for a long time and still feel like 2NE1 deserves to be put on the map now that other Kpop artists are becoming more popular…2NE1 was definitely ahead of its time 😔
I used to be in love with this routine, until I saw the original video of the song... Now I can't get past how much "Mark's choreography" reminds me of the one by 2 ne 1... With no one giving them credit....
Yup, still quite piss. I can't believe the judge said Lady gaga. And they two smile, and then gave no credit to 2ne1. The dance is not that original, they should had corrected and said you should be 2ne1 absolute dancer not lady gaga. They kind of rip off 2ne1.
I come back to this performance at least once every year. Just too good and iconic
Yep same. The best dance ever on the show imo! I absolutely love it. I never forget when i watched it for the first time on tv, gave me goosebumps and fell in love with the song too.
still watching this in 2021. when I went to like/comment on this, I noticed I had previously already liked a comment from 5 years ago haha.
Me too!!! Such an AMAZING WELL CHOREOGRAPHED PIECE!! I just want to dance when I see it!!❤️❤️❤️
Same and it makes me feel the same way every time. I find myself bopping along and grinning.
Same, this is my all time favorite SYTYCD routine, never gets old
Jenna was a great dancer. She deserved more love. Mark is pure genius.
Still watching in 2024 😊
Is anyone else still watching this in 2021? This is one of the best routines of SYTYCD EVER!
It’s now 2022 and I’m still watching this. FANTASTIC!!!
2022😁
2023!

This routine was so far ahead of its time. Truly iconique!
Exactly! I love it.
Mark is awesome. Seems like Jenna brought out everything wanted in the dance. One of the best routines of all SYTYCD.
I AGREEE 1000%
Must agree! Mark is one of my all time favourites.
This routine is so totally bizarre but completely kickass. Mark is a crazy genius.
Hi. I am back for my annual viewing of this masterpiece. An absolute pleasure to watch the brilliance that is this routine. As usual.
This routine was so hard and this was one of my favorite seasons. I always come back to it
Awww Jenna was so young back then. Also she was done so dirty on this show 😭 Still an amazing routine 9 years later!
I have to watch this once a month and I have to watch it like 10 times on repeat, it’s so good. Mark’s choreography is perfection and they both execute the sh*t out of it. Also, fantastic song choice and use of the props 10/10 for the whole shebang!
Watching in 2024, perfection
This is one of the most memorable moments on SYTYCD ever 🤘🏼
I can't even express how much I love this dance. And that ending! How does he even stop her there?! Definitely my favorite of Jenna's! I wish they would have brought back Mark for more choreography... he's one of my favorite contestants from this show, he's just so original! I lived for his solos.
TruBlu8 they did. It was phenomenal
I remember this performance years ago and its still an absolute masterpiece!
This has got to be my favorite SYTYCD routine
Mark! Mark! Mark! 👏👏👏
I remember watching this on tv at the time! Fricken loved & still love it! Well done to Jenna too!!! 👏👏👏 perfect duo for that!
Okay, how much do I love it when Mark grabs her braid and they begin to strut at :37, she matched him stride for stride, step for step as if they were joined at the hip. Perfect timing and quirky movements. And at :59 when the singer says PRAAAA!!!! Simply awesome.
Mark Kanemura!!! he is Lady Gaga's dancer for today! WOOOW love him!
I Had already loved Jenna but I felt even more in love with her as a dancer after this performance 😍😍😍
Was never a fan of jenna honestly but THIS. PIECE. IS. ABSOLUTELY. BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!! Both choreography AND execution. She completely embodied the phenomenon Mark wanted to show, and then some. Absolutely gorgeous piece. Changed my opinion of how i felt about jenna. TRULY ICONIC!!!! Way ahead of time…
This is one of my favorite sytycd routines it's ridiculously amazing.
I'm still upset Jenna left after this she deserved to stay
9 years later and im still coming back to this 🙌🏼
Jenna definitely deserved to stay till the final . I cant believe how she did not recieve enough votes throughout the show!!!
Still watching in 2020? Hells yeah. Genius never gets old, bitches. 🖤
IN retrospect, it's clear that Mark was destined to become a back up dancer for Gaga.
yeah and can we pretty please see some more Mark Kanemura choreo on this show?!?!
but wasn't he already a dancer for Gaga before he did this choreo?
Also this isn’t a Gaga song. Lol.... it’s Kpop
@@mariaholmstead4508 He said he became a dancer for Gaga, not that this is Lady Gaga's song.
ib1b4u I know. I was commenting that this was Kpop for anyone who was confused.
One of my favourite dance routines on SYTYCD ever!!!!
Think I re-watched this like 5x on my DVR last night. I never really noticed Jenna until this moment. Such an inventive dance number.
Mark is dance perfection
People dont usually get how hard it is to get movements this precise
Best performance ever on that show IMO, bloody brilliant
Still one of the best SYTYCD piece!!! #2022
2020, still mark is my favourite thing to come on this show!
I watched this because of 2NE1's song butI ended up totally falling for this choreography!!!!!! Holy Crap!
Mark is probably my favourite contestant of all time and when they brought him back I was SO HAPPY and he pulled this out and it was AMAZING (and I was so proud to hear he was working for Gaga)
"I have never seen anything like it before in my life, but I love it."
It’s 2019 and I still regularly come back to watch this routine. Forever iconic
It's Oct 2020 and I am still obsessed! 😀❤
I always come back to this performance
2021 she’s still my crush
Same
woahhh i took a class from him and he taught the last half of this dance. watching him do it in person was phenomenal
This and the Saturn Twins with Amy & Jasmine are ridiculously so good. I have been looking for this video for months and finally found it. Mark is an effing genius, and like sistersyfy I stood up and took notice of Jenna (who was awesome in this number). They should invite Mark back every season so he can infect the joint with his quirkiness. Love, love, love this dance number.
I like to watch this when I need to feel fierce. Kinda like Dwight listening to heavy metal before a sales call....
A year and a half later and I'm still pissed she left after this, when she could've won the whole show
She SHOULD have won!
+theaviatroy I disagree with S11 because Ricky was technically flawless!
+Arreyah Whitlock 4
+ADWOA YEBOAH Great talk!
The best always seem to leave, like Alex Wong he could've won but he had to leave due to injury :,-(
Out of every season, every dance, every year...
This is THE best dance ever. (In my opinion of course)
Watching this back in 2021.... does anyone else see Emma Slater in the audience at 3:13
One of my all time favorites!!!!
One of my favorite routines of the show, years later I still remember it
OMG I could re-watch this again and again! Oh wait, I already do! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Without a doubt, my absolute favorite dance on any season of SYTYCD. Fast, Difficult, & Weird!!! YES!!!
I CANNOT STOP WATCHING THIS! Mark and Jenna...this dance.....OMG. JUST OMG. Mark Kanemura, I am still in love with you ever since season 4. This dance should not only win Emmys (don't know if it had that year), but it's beyond awards. It's magical.
P.S. 27 people who disliked this have no souls
This dance works so well because they both just own it. So fun to watch!
I miss this show
And we thanks 2ne1 and yg entertainment for the amazing song "I'm the best"
We dont get Sytycd in Hkg n its my 1st time to see this thnx to You Tube!!! I💖this!!! Jenna n Mark
My all time favorite dance from So you think you can dance!

side note: omg emma on the right at 3:14 !!
I keep watching this intending to check out Jenna's performance but I can never keep my eyes off Mark - every time
pennydesouza ^This. Mark is on another level compared to her.
I loveeeee this performance 💖💯🙌😍
"I am the best" was the first kpop song I downloaded thanks to this stunning routine😍
same!!
Me too
If the judges loved his choreography, then they should really take a look at Korean and Japanese choreography in general. They'd have a fangasm.
Try SHINee and Infinite. They're well-known for their extremely hard dances and 99.9% synchronisation? SHINee-Lucifer or Sherlock and Infinite-Before The Dawn or Back or Man In Love.
Most Kpop groups do choreo that are either really hard to follow, really easy to follow or somewhere in between.
Personally, I like Super Junior cause they have hard yet some are easy to follow dances (Sorry sorry or Mr Simple. Can go check those out) or MBLAQ.
But, yeah. Hope this helps! :DD
I see more ballroom culture with Korean & Japanese moments
I loved this SO MUCH when I first saw it on the show!! This was also the first time I’d ever heard K-Pop and I was totally OBSESSED!!!
my favorite sytycd performance ever!! right next to the garden!! both with my favorite sytycd dancer Mark!! luv luv luv it!!!
Oh my fucking gosh, they're playing a 2ne1 song!!!!!
+janelle maria
also wearing similar clothes to Park Bom
do you know which one i'd love to know
+maya bouhamidi the song? its 2ne1 i am the best
Thank you so much
Wow. Good to know that Mark has only become more fantastic with time. I was rooting for him in his season way back when.
I LOVE when he wears her like a garment he’s modeling on the red carpet runway. Epic routine.
Awesome performance!
I truly hope to see this dance on the 10th Anniversary show tonight!
Sue Thomas THEY DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sue Thomas omg they did and it was phenomenal!!!
This was Cat Deeley's pick for best routine. She's made no secret of the fact that Mark is her favorite contestant and I agree! Mark is incredible!
Sickest routine ever. Mark is on another level.
At least she left the show on a good note. This was the piece I remember her for.
AHHHHHHHH I friggin love this routine!!!
Still one of the best - ever! L o v e Mark!!!!!!!!!
DAMN Jenna killed that and Mark is PHENOMENAL I missed out on this!!!
I haven't watched this show in a million years, but I wish they would use more kpop, there's so many great dance songs to use.
Think of this routine every time I see the commercial that has this song
Me too. The commercial made me want to watch this routine.
yup.....same here.
The song is I'm The Best by 2NE1
u should check it out....
Who else is here because they saw it had 2ne1 in here?✋ And when the song got to the chorus the "Bom duh ratatata ratatatata" was honestly the actual dance to the song. This is truly a milestone song for Kpop at the time. It was a big deal and it's so famous that if you like Kpop you can't not have heard this song.
Loved Mark when he was a contestant and now he is a professional and a chorio.. Although this was a decade ago it is still relevant today.
I watched this first when it came out, I think it was 2012 or 2013, and I got into Kpop a year or two after, but I had completely forgot about this performance, so when I got into 2NE1 and I heard this song, it was killing me that I knew I had heard the song somewhere but I just could not figure it out. And I just figured it out. I fucking knew it. God bless. #blackjackforlife
+eggyeox This happened to me too!!!! Now its one of my fav performance to watch because one of my favorite groups song is in it. #blackjackforlife

And...loved Cat's season 4 reference at the end when she commented that Mark is no vegetarian. Sigh...memories of the best season.:)
I so want her shoes!!!
Love that routine!!!!
I think mark has my 2 all time fav routines... This one and the garden
2nd best dance in history of the show...omg!!!
i always thing of them as bad russian twin in a spy movie or cartoon or some thing love the dance

This makes me so happy. OMG

Mark should come back on the show as a choreographer
