Judges thoughts- Nigel Lythgoe: amazing contemporary dancers and choreographer, you are the ultimate male and female dancers this year; Mia Michaels: stunning, gorgeous, amazing connection; Adam Shankman: so honest and real, intimate, embodied everything it was supposed to be.

Blogger’s thoughts: I completely agree with the judges. I absolutely LOVE this piece. These two dancers are by far my favorites in Season 7 and I was exstatic they were the top two. Kent Boyd is beyond precious, but also a terrific dancer in every style. Girls are obviously swooning over this cute, blond-haired, and blue-eyed teenage boy and to top it off, he can dance! Lauren is the same way by being able to do every style successfully. This season was incredible and I would definately suggest watching specifically this season. I can’t wait until next season!
