"Amazing," she said. "I'm sorry, I got nothing bad to say."

Choreographer and judge Lil' C said Maleski left him in awe.

"With legs like that, who needs arms?" he asked. "You don't even need them."

He said Maleski is going through a metamorphosis on the show.

Nigel Lythgoe, judge and executive producer of the show, agreed.

"I think you are the most changed dancer since the program began," he told Maleski. "You've grown in confidence, you've grown in style, you've grown in technique."

A female and male dancer will go home during tomorrow's results show. The show will air at 8 p.m. on FOX. To vote for Maleski and Taylor, call 1-888-836-7603, text 3 to 83676 or go to www.fox.com/dance.

Voting begins after the show ends at 10 p.m.
