[music playing]
(SINGING) You know some girls know how to have some fun.
You know some girls get anything they want.
[applause]
KEVIN MANNO: Give it up for Asia.
I think that you have so much talent
packed inside that little tiny body,
and it's just bursting at the seams.
And the reason I'm tough on you is because I believe in you
and I think that you have longevity in your career.
And I don't want to see you be one of these cute little kids
that wins everything, and then they turn into a teenager
and they never dance again.
You're still on the top of my list.
[audience member cheers]
I mean--
[applause]
You know what?
You feel it.
And that's what it's about with you.
Do you think you gave us the performance to win?
I gave it all I got.
All right.
Let's hear it for Asia.
A lot of Asia fans out there.
Judges, thank you very much.
[music playing]
(SINGING) The shadows behind, the end of a night.
Power inside of me can burn so bright.
[applause]
KEVIN MANNO: Make some noise for Brianna, you guys.
My goal for this was to show you guys
that I unleashed my soul and showed you guys
the dancer that I really am.
So thank you for that opportunity.
[applause]
From the first time I stood on that stage with you
and met you, you have been a warrior.
And I want to commend you on that.
[applause]
BRIANNA HAIRE: Thank you.
Now, down to the nitty-gritty.
Was that turn at the end of that number worth $100,000?
Was that the best Brianna that we could have ever seen?
Your passion is enormous.
And I don't want you to ever give that up.
Even if that turn wasn't $100,000,
you at least made me feel like it was.
[laughter]
[applause]
So great job.
Thank you.
[music playing]
(SINGING) [inaudible].
[applause]
KEVIN MANNO: Give it up for Madison.
I felt that you were fresh and young and innocent.
Technically, the only thing that I would improve
upon is your d gag on your supporting
foot on your [inaudible].
You did two [inaudible].
And I want to see that front foot
turn out, lead with the heel, and get up off the ground.
You can do it all.
And that is what a great dancer is.
[applause]
But what I loved about tonight is that you just went,
you know what?
I'm just gonna dance for my life.
You gave the best performance that you could possibly give,
and it was being beautiful.
It was freedom.
[applause]
It's crazy how tight this competition is right now.
[applause]
Let's talk about the best dancer.
This is my best dancer.
This one is gonna go far.
I don't think she's the best dancer.
That's my best dancer. - They all have issues.
I look for stars.
She's a star.
But this is a dance competition.
She's the best dancer.
Brianna doesn't have the lines.
She bends her back knee. - She could be afraid.
She has bad feet.
Technically, is gorgeous and wonderful to look at,
but she can't act or perform like these two.
Madison has had some bad performances.
I didn't see Madison for six weeks.
And it was only until she got challenged
to dance for her life was the first time I ever seen her.
You know you love Asia.
Is that good enough?
I think she has great musicality
and she has great timing.
RICHARD JACKSON: She's got to work on her technique.
I don't care. I love her.
I think she's amazing.
There's a reason why I love her and America loves her.
Have you come to a consensus?
Yeah, it's--
RACHELLE RAK: Yes.
It's really tearing our hearts apart.
Let's go ahead and bring the moms and their daughters
back up to the stage.
[applause]
Congratulations, girls.
Congratulations, moms.
This has been an incredible journey and one of the toughest
decisions that we've ever made.
I wish that I could take that check, [sighs]
tear it into three parts, and we could all go home happy.
But unfortunately, that is not possible at this time.
The winner of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition is--
is Brianna.
[applause]
When I heard Abby say my name, I broke down.
I couldn't believe that my dream had finally come true.
This belongs to you.
Congratulations, Brianna.
