'So You Think You Can Dance' season 16 finale: Bailey Munoz emerges as strong fan favorite to win it all

Bailey Munoz might be shorter compared to the other three contestants, but his moves and talent will give any contestant a run for their money

'So You Think You Can Dance' season 16 returned on Monday night with the Top 4 performing for America's votes one last time and the stakes have never been higher. 

The Top 4 contestants this year, could easily be the best we've seen till date, and fans stan. After being filtered down to the final four from thousands of contestants who auditioned in hopes of making it to the finale, the ones who succeeded were none other than Gino Cosculluela, Bailey Munoz, Sophie Pittman, and Mariah Russell.

On Monday night, when the Top 4 performed for the last time, there was one contestant who ended up making the best impression - Bailey Munoz. Bailey might be shorter compared to the other three contestants, but his moves and talent make up for it. 

Going into Monday night's performance, Bailey already had the odds in his favor as he is not just a fan favorite but a favorite amongst the judges as well. He also has the highest chance of stealing the title this season. And if he does, he will be the sixth hip-hop dancer to win the title and he might be the best among them all too. 

For those who don't know about Bailey, the Filipino-American might be just 19-years-old but he is not new to the spotlight. He's been attracted to the stage and dancing since he was 9-years-old. He appeared on 'America's Got Talent' in 2010 and made it till the semifinals. He was part of a duo called 'Future Funk'. Ever since then Bailey has toured with singers like Bruno Mars. He has performed for Justin Bieber, Beyonce and also appeared in one of Chris Brown's music video. Apart from that Bailey has appeared on ABC's 'Dancing With The Stars'. No wonder he already has a massive fan base that is deserving of his talent.

Though we won't get to know who the winner is till 'SYTYCD' returns next week, fans can only see one winner and that is none other than Bailey. Taking to Twitter after Monday night's episode, a fan wrote, "Baaaailey for the win!!!!!." 

Adding to that another fan said, "He killed it!! I am not gonna be surprised if he wins, but I will be shocked if he doesn’t!" While another fan said, "Bailey for the win! But honestly, they are all truly amazing dancers!!!!

"If he doesn't win then I'm boycotting this show. He's been doing every style with mint perfection. Let's see the others do b-boy! They won't come close!" wrote another fan.
