Briar Nolet (‘World of Dance’) was ‘unforgettable’ during Duels, so why was Ne-Yo’s score so stingy? [Watch]

Contemporary soloist Briar Nolet wasn’t one of the highest-scoring performers during the “World of Dance” Qualifiers, and I think the judges lowballed her. So what happened when she came to the Duels and went head to head against the Latin/street fusion duo All Ready? Watch her routine above to find out.
Nolet explained to the judges that this routine was inspired by her struggle with epilepsy, which she was diagnosed with just a year ago after suffering through debilitating seizures. Jennifer Lopez praised her for her “emotional and psychological strength” and told her she was “unforgettable.” Derek Hough thought she was “powerful.” And Ne-Yo called her “phenomenal.” But when the rubber met the road and it was time to give her her scores, they still undervalued her. Especially Ne-Yo, whose reasoning I don’t quite understand. See what the judges had to say about her routine below.
