SHANE MERCADO IS A GORGEOUS YOUNG MAN AND AN AMAZING DANCER. WHY DID HE WEAR THOSE BLACK BAGGY PANTS? HE SHOULD HAVE WORN SOMETHING THAT SHOWED OFF HIS LEGS AS BEYONCE DID. I AM SURE IF HE DID WE WOULD ALL BE ABLE TO SEE HE DANCES AS WELL AS AND PERHAPS BETTER THAN BEYONCE. I HOPE THAT TODAY AT 2 P.M.HE WILL BE WEARING CLOTHING THAT SHOW HIS WONDERFUL FIGURE. WHO TAUGHT HIM HOW TO DANCE AND SING. DID HE TAKE LESSONS OR DID THIS JUST COME NATURALLY TO HIM. DOES HE HAVE A RELATIVE WHO IS A DANCER? IF SO, WHO? HE SHOULD BE IN CHORUS LINE IN NYC, NY.

PLEASE CALL ME AS I WILL BE WATCHING BONNIE HUNT TODAY @ 2 PM FOR MY OPINION.

THANK YOU,

Shane Mercado,
would you mind teaching this dance to me I first saw your video on one of the blogs and said to myself you go boy! I really would appreciate it if you could I don't care if you charge it's a good workout and I definitely have attitude and rhythm. Got it from all my good girlfriends (you know what I mean):o)

Awwwww junk!!!!! Shane did not just break it down he broke it all the way down.......keep it u boo!!!!!

Dam Tam, look like your in great shape. Let's leave that one at that, don't wanna be rude. Good Stuff Tamsen.

Shane did his thing, he was excellent. Knowing how to dance and choreographing your own routine is one thing, but breaking down somebody else's routine, step by step, motion by motion, detail by detail is next level stuff. He did a good job.

OMG U GIRLS ARE DOING GREAT!!! Tamsem your legs look sexy...

Shane kill it baby I needa lesson now.....

I thought he was a hoot, for real. This was a good wake-up for me this morning. I hope Beyonce does call him or any other recording star who is looking for a awesome dancer. Congratulations Shane on you one million plus hits on Youtube.
