Welcome to Pure Dancing with the Stars

I just heard them say that Lacey will be performing with her brother Benji on tomorrow’s Dancing with the Stars results show. That will be really cool. I always love watching Benji perform. Here’s a little video look at Lacey and Benji dancing together a few years back in Reno:

(Lacey joins about half way into the video)

I love watching Benji and his sister dance, but I wish Dancing with the Stars would have invited Benji and his cousin Heidi (also of So You Think You Can Dance fame) to perform on the show instead of Lacey. Benji and Heidi were just meant to dance together. If you don’t believe me, then check out Benji and Heidi’s Black Mambo performance on So You Think You Can Dance or even Benji and Heidi’s US Open Swing Dance Championship dance. Now that’s what I call dancing.

Brad Paisley will be performing tomorrow on Dancing with the Stars before hosting the CMA Awards the next night. What a busy man. Of course, the cool part for country music fans that love Dancing with the Stars is that Julianne Hough will be dancing on the show tomorrow night. Who would have thought that this is how Julianne Hough and Brad Paisley would be sharing the stage again? (Julianne toured with Brad Paisley earlier this year where she met Chuck Wicks)

Tomorrow is the Design a Dance performance where the audience got to select the dance, the song, the costume and the dancers. I think we can easily assume that the dancers that were selected for the design a dance competition were Julianne and Derek Hough. They are the most popular dancers and why else would Julianne be dancing tomorrow? Not exactly sure why Derek will be the guy other than it would be really cool to have Derek and Julianne dancing again together tomorrow night. Let’s just say that I’m not a betting man, but I know the show well and my bet is that Julianne and Derek will be dancing on the show tomorrow night.

Starting tomorrow, it looks like country music is taking over ABC. At least for a couple days. Not a problem for me.
