And the Winner of So You Think You Can Dance Is... (omg!)

After a grueling So You Think You Can Dance season, which included both a Top 20 and the All-Stars, the four finalists -- Marko, Melanie, Sasha and Tadd -- faced off for the last time. So who came out the winner of Season 8?

Before we get to the results, the Top 20 returned for an intense leather-clad group number. Sasha and All-Star Kent took the stage next with the contemporary dance backdropped by the wall, and finally fan-favorite pairing Melanie and Marko performed the NappyTabs hip-hop number.

Among the other judges' picks for favorite routines of the season: Tadd and Lauren's jazz number to "Another One Bites the Dust"; Melanie and Neil's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" contemporary piece; Marko and Allison's contemporary dance to "I Know It's Over"; and Sasha and Twitch's heartwarming hip-hop dance to "Misty Blue."

For the group numbers, host Cat Deeley chose the Top 8 Circus number. The Top 10 girls also came together for the "Pop Drop and Roll" jazz number from Sonya Tayeh, while the boys teamed up for the "Velocity" piece with the doors.

Capping off the night, Melanie and Marko wowed the crowd with the contemporary statue piece from Week 1 that judge Nigel Lythgoe hailed as Emmy-worthy. The top two ladies took on the "Game On" jazz number before the champion of Season 8 was announced.

And the winner is... contemporary dancer Melanie, the 19-year-old Ginnifer Goodwin doppelganger whom we called a frontrunner from the beginning. In tears, Melanie could only muster up a "thank you," before being engulfed by her fellow dancers.

Sasha came in as the runner-up, while Marko and Tadd came in third and fourth, respectively.

Are you happy Melanie won?
