    Korey Cleveland got his ticket to Vegas and gave the judges a hug.
  • As Long As You Love Me (feat. Big Sean) — Justin Bieber

    Montage of three Street dancers going on to Vegas during Day 1 auditions.
  • The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations On a Shaker Hymn) — Weezer
    Ian Williams introduction and exit. He style was "Breaker-Ballet" but his dance had no breaking and terrible ballet. This was a giant waste of time, and made me feel bad for this hapless dancer.
  • Trouble (feat. Jennifer Hudson) — Iggy Azalea
    The montage of the dancers who were so terrible Paula was speechless. They all had weird/poorly mixed styles, like "Street Salsa" or "Martial Arts Ballet."
