Personal Story Week.
The show opened with the "Dancing With The Stars" Dance Troop. I still am undecided about this. I hate it in a way because I don't know any of these people...but they are great dancers..so I sorta like it.
These professional dancers make me miss my dancers body. I spent age 15-20 dancing for 2+ hours a day and it is such a good workout..I miss my toned legs. They've been gone for a while. ANYWAY.
Dance 1 = Wendy and Tony = Quickstep
Her story was about her fight to be successful in media. I appreciate her story and I admire anyone with determination. I didn't know the song she danced to (which always makes me think LESS of the dance for some reason). This may have been their best dance..but it still feels SOO low energy. I love Tony..but it just looks so easy for him, like he is walking or going in slow motion and he is so much better than that. Their score = 15 OUCH! PS>..I loved it when Wendy told Tony that he "made a great choreograph". Never heard a verb made into a noun like that.
They said that Carrie Ann got engaged on national TV...so I had to get to the bottom of it. She got engaged on Regis and Kelly to her boyfriend Jesse Stone-I don't know what he does for a living but he is handsoome and she seems happy.
Dance 2 = Chelsea and Mark = Cha Cha
Her story was about this boyfriend in a band who wrote this song for her. Another song I have never heard. I don't know how I would feel dancing to a song where my name repeated over and over...and hmmm..and some of the other lyrics "isn't it time we got down?" UM, NO it isn't time for anyone to be getting down with that young girl! The dance was okay...she was a bit chaotic and her weakness showed a bit...maybe I take back my previous statements about her being a previous dancer. Their score = 23 (too high in my opinion)
Dance 3 = Chris and Cheryl = Rumba
His story was a super sweet story about his mom who has passed on. The big wrestler was near tears, aww! His song was "Let it Be", finally a song I know. He told everyone his real name is Chris Urban, hmm, who knew! This guy is impressing me with his dancing though..and maybe he is the dark horse of the competition. Their score = 21
Dance 4 = Kendra and Louis = Rumba
Her story was about her story about meeting her husband and how his fans were ashamed of her and how it made her really sad. Her little boy was shown and he is so cute with his curly hair. Another song that I don't know..but I liked the words. I loved Kendra's outfit and I think she did awesome in this dance-Louis threw some hard choreography at her and she did it. Their score = 23
Dance 5 = Romeo and Chelsea = Rumba
His story was about the loss of his two young cousins-it was nice to see his vulnerable side. It was sorta funny to see him throw a fit about his shoes, like his dad did in season 2. I knew this song..."I'll be there", extra points for that. His dance was good, much better than the 20 that the judges gave them.
Dance 6 = Hines and Kym = Samba
His story about his mom and all that she did for him, another great story. He is Korean which was interesting to find out. She was in the audience so that was sweet. His song...Earth Wind and Fire's "World of Fantasy", that is more like it! He has great rhythm and had great hip action. Their score = 25 DESERVED!
Dance 7 = Petra and Dimitry = Waltz
Another great story about her going back to help Tsunami victims, she danced to Josh Grobin's "You Raise Me Up"..appropriate! She is much more suited to the more elegant ballroom dances. It is also nice to see Dimitry being elegant and not trying to be all sexy-like and without a shirt on (for a change). Their score = 25 SHOCKER!
Dance 8 = Sugar Ray and Anna = Paso Doble
His story was about beating the odds. His song choice "My Perogative" (I hope that I am spelling that right) interesting choice, but okay...I love Bobby Brown. It is funny that Anna had to encourage him to be intimidating because as a boxer he should be good at that, right?! I thought he brought it tonight, though. To me the issue is POSTURE, STILL! He seemed happy with his performance. I loved at the start of the dance, they had the boxer announcer there-I am sure the guys is famous but I don't know his name. He said "lets get ready to Rumba...and then Tom stepped in and then he said "Paso", TOO FUNNY! Their score = 20
My two favorites last.
Dance 9 = Kirstie and Maks = Rumba
WOAH about her story...she lost her mom in a car accident just after getting her big break in Hollywood. Her choice "Over the Rainbow" can't go wrong with that...UNLESS your PARTNER DROPS YOU! Yes, the most talked about moment, Maks hurt his leg and dropped her at the start of the dance! BRAVO to her for getting up and doing on...and she trusted him not to drop her again. I was glad that Maks was not seriously hurt and you could tell that he felt really bad about it. Their score = 21 I think it shoulda been higher
Dance 10 = Ralph and Karina = Rumba (lots of Rumba's tonight)
His story was about the song "Stay Gold" and how it was the theme song of "The Outsiders" and it is his wedding song. Man-his wedding pictures he looks like a little boy-hard to believe that he has been married for 24 years. I have seen the Outsiders a bunch of times, but don't remember the song. He did great, we've come to expect that. I wonder if Rumba was Karina's speciality because she had some wonderful moves. Their score = 21 (uh oh) But seriously I want to know his formula for staying so youthful looking.
There wasn't a dance that I just LOVED, so I won't be keeping this on my DVR.
Results show next!
Can I just say I miss the HOUGH siblings, please come back!
