Joshua Allen, the 19-year-old, untrained hip-hop dancer was crowned So You Think You Can Dance winner on Fox's Thursday evening two-hour finale.

After two hours of fluff, which revisited Katee Shean and Joshua's Bollywood routine, Courtney Galiano and Gav's rumba, a performance by the Jonas Brothers and Cirque So-leil Think You Can Dance. Returning was also the amazing Robert Muraine who faced-off against popping rival Phillip Chbeeb. Judge Mary Murphy's trademark scream also made a guest appearance.

The adorable Kat Deeley proclaimed Allen the winner after nearly 60 million votes had been cast, edging out the other untrained hip-hop dancer, 24-year-old Twitch Boss for the $100,000 prize and a part in the upcoming film, Step It Up 3-D.

When Allen was announced the winner he said amongst falling confetti, "Never let anybody tell you can't do anything. No matter what you do, you can always go far. the sky is the limit. Don't let anybody tell you can't do anything. Because God is the control. And with God you can do anything."
