the other day i was watching an episode of America’s got Talent, an episode that i had pvr-ed. anyway one of the contestants was a 13 year old little red haired boy called arcadian, who made me cry like a waterfall on a tuesday. i balled my eyes out while i watched him dance to elton john’s ‘i’m still standing’. i literally sat on the floor and sobbed. now you’re probably thinking that i’m a complete and utter nutcase, but i’m not mad i promise and i wasn’t drunk either. it was just a combination of this kid’s passion for dance, the fact that he was mocked and left out of everything at school, his sweet little red-haired head and the idea that i will never ever ever again be a little kid. no way, no how, which is a little sad in my eyes…….i have watched this clip, no lies, like 23 times and last night i taped it off my tv so i could show you guys. he has the best moves i’ve ever seen on a fanta pants x x
i’m still standing from angie batis on Vimeo.
oh shit, i can’t HANDLE stuff like this! i also got a bit misty.
(and elton john too! that’s my childhood right there.)
man that is the BEST thing to come my way..whenever i hear this song i go just like he went..in my head..and a little in my toes..was he mocked cos he’s a ginger-kid? you should’ve taped the part where he tells his heart breaking life’s story! thank you 🙂
sweet little red-haired head: amen
Great, its 6.45 in the morning and i just cried. please keep us posted on more routines that he does angie!
ah. sweetness! the passion of dance. i don’t think i was ever a child, but i remember what it was like when my body had no limitations and i had perfect technique…*sigh
oh man, it gets me every time. i’m glad there are other people out there like me 🙂

loving the mnet series logo in the corner.
oh, and the kid is cool 😉
Ya dude, laugh as you may, others have, but Lauren and I were serious ballerinas once dude, we even went to the same awesome teacher. Believe it 🙂
Maybe Cat Deeley will steal him for so you think you can dance. A “mini-series”. get it?
mini-series hehe. King! 🙂
angie. you will never be a child again, but maybe you will have kids and you will maybe watch that passion with SO much understanding & love & joy and you can weeeep with every emotion. oh redheads.
WHAT A CHAMPIONIC LITTLE BOY!!! School kids are meanies!! Thanks so much for finding all this awesome stuff and sharing it!!!
