Is it only me but does Amanda’s costume give me flashbacks of Brooke’s costume in season one (of dance moms ) you know the ugly costume 😂😂

[sphkrs]

"she needs to stop being so nice and humble."

Okay that triggered me

[kristianblake]

Just screaming “Face!” over and over again doesn’t help Amanda. They need to tell her what face to make. Just saying “be sassy! Be fierce!” doesn’t do anything. To Amanda, that may mean a small smirk and an arched eyebrow, which I did saw her do. To Asia, it means something else. To Brianna, it means something.

Amanda showed small facial expression, but that obviously that wasn’t enough. They just need to explain their critics better it seems, unless it’s being edited out.

Was I the only one making facial expressions while she was doing it.

Amanda is so kind, she deserves so much. God bless her ❤️🙏🏼 she’s amazinggg!!

[faithfrancesca]

She’s a really sweet kid and I feel like if she had less pressure on her she’d probably succeed Anthony wasn’t being a supportive teacher so she probably felt nervous ♡︎

[J_U_N]

Anthony is a fine choreographer, but he is a bad teacher. That is not his strong suit.

[jesscrompton]

“I can’t get it out of you.” Yeah weird how people don’t respond to being screamed at

[caseydonners]

This poor girl is being told all the time “your face! your face!!” And she showed face but it wasn’t enough for them.. I hope that she makes it in the big show..!!❤️❤️ I’m rooting for you Amanda!!

[Janiiya]

“Your spatially challenged, facially challenged... you need to figure it out” yikes 😳

[GMMBOO]

Amanda: I just tried my best..

Abby: sometimes you’re best isn’t enough 😒

[diamondthomas]

Coreen is Just as Bad as Yvette Coming Into Amanda's Rehearsal Just Like Yvette Did Coming Into Asia and Brianna's Rehearsal, Coreen Should Be Focusing on Madison, Not Amanda and the Other Dancers in Their Rehearsal

[jeffsmalles]

I'm shocked that Anthony is in AUDC. It's so funny knowing how Abby and Anthony became rivals in 2013/2012? And this show aired in 2012.

[jasminefunglm]

She was on America’s Got Talent AND World of Dance!

[sienna]

Why would you compare a dancer to a dancer?? Like saying, "Preform like Asia" doesn't help. Amanda was right saying that that is ASIA'S thing not HERS

[mariellafuentes]

Amanda: The choreography is not that great
Me: We love a girl who speaks the truth

[amberliversidge]

Why give a contortion dance to a dancer who isn’t flexible 😂🤦‍♀️

[alyorellana]

Amanda has subtle expressions, but the ones she gives make you entertained and understand her emotion, I believe she did great, but she can be herself without having the overacted facial!

[Heyyydbksjhd]

Personally, I think Amanda's one of the best dancers there.
