Christi and Kelly recap and react to Dance Moms season 5, episode 22 — “Live From LA, It's Kendall K.” Kendall's big music video premiere has finally arrived, giving Jill the moment she had been chasing all season. Christi and Kelly revisit the event at Universal Studios, the pressure surrounding Kendall's debut, and the constant comparisons being made between Kendall and Nia's music careers.
