You discovered her on So You Think You Can Dance and now Christina Perri has released her debut music video for her song "Jar Of Hearts."

Directed by Jay Martin (Death Cab for Cutie, Cold War Kids, Wolfmother), the video was shot on a soundstage designed as a New York City street and features SYTYCD All-Stars Kathryn McCormick and Allison Holker (who both danced to Christina's song on the show) as well as Keltie Colleen, Peter Chu, Chelsea Thedinga, Chantel Aguirre and Eboni Adams. The dancers were choreographed by none-other than SYTYCD's Stacey Tookey, who is responsible for using "Jar of Hearts" in the show on June 30th. Check it out here

A few months ago Christina Perri was waiting tables in LA when her friend Keltie Colleen, a Radio City Rockette, passed along Christina's demo to her friend Stacey Tookey, a choreographer on the hit show So You Think You Can Dance? Taken by the raw, defiant break-up song named "Jar of Hearts", Tookey used it as the backdrop for a memorable choreographed piece that aired on Fox's So You Think You Can Dance on June 30th.

The song struck a chord with viewers, who began downloading it from iTunes in droves, sending "Jar of Hearts" into the Top 10 on the iTunes Pop chart and into the Top 15 on the Overall chart overnight. Impressed, SYTYCD's producers invited Perri to play the song live on the show two weeks later. Now Christina Perri honors the dance community with the debut video for her single "Jar of Hearts."
