I couldn't agree more on both counts.

Michael's performance was just as phenomenal this time around as it was on the Aussie show (and actually, I think it was slightly expanded from what he did on there, which was limited to a strict amount of time according to the rules of the competition).

Also,the four finalists were all phenomenal dancers this year, and I would have been delighted regardless of which one of them took the prize. In fact, the ten dancers going into the voting stage of the competition were all excellent. It was an amazing season.

I think all 4 should have been offered spots in the broadway show! And as a tapper myself, awesome to see two great tappers in the finale!
Would love if Michael joined the SYTYCD tour!!!

Ah, yes it is! I should have backed up to the previous page.

As I commented above, I believe the routine was an expanded version of his Oz performance. Just when I expected him to go to the ending, there was more, and it was all amazing!
