First off, thanks for putting this together. A lot of the comments are complaining that you missed their favorites or just don't agree with the order... while I don't necessarily agree either that's really the great thing about this show. It has something for everyone and that you took the time to put together YOUR favorites should be appreciated and not criticized. Some are nice about it, others are not. No critique from me... just admiration. Keep making videos for others to enjoy!

Great choice for #1! Both me and my husband were never a big fan of this song when we heard it on the radio. Then when we watched this number, it completely changed how we felt about the song and now we love it. That's the power of amazing choreography and dancing!

[kubabrzezinski]

This list is perfect. Best one I could find, pretty much all my faves are in it. Great job :)

You got this so VERY VERY RIGHT!!!! Chelsie and Mark's routine was off the charts and my ALL time FAVORITE routine.
Loved it and still do! Thank you for posting.
