Check out the nice take off of the Real Men of Genius video from Dancing with the Stars featuring Lil’ Kim, Gilles, Ty and Shawn.

Dancing with the Stars is always doing some interesting videos on the results show. Week 8 of Dancing with the Stars was probably the best that they’ve ever done. Check out the following video of “People for the Ethical Treatment of Dancers.” (A nice take off of Peta with naked pro dancers)

Tonight was quite the shocker for me. I was certain that Melissa Rycroft would be going home. I guess I seriously underestimated the number of fans that are sympathetic to Melissa. Add in the injury and Melissa really must have garnered a ton of sympathy votes.

Don’t get me wrong. Melissa is a wonderful dancer and I don’t like anyone getting sent home due to injury, but I really thought that Julianne and Chuck would have gotten more votes. Hard to believe that Ty and Chelsie is possibly more popular than Chuck and Julianne. Pretty amazing stuff.

Well, as usual here’s the list of Dancing with the Stars music from the week 8 results show:
Robin Thicke sang the song “When I Get You Alone” for Alec Mazo, Edyta Sliwinska, Cheryl Burke, Tony Dovolani, Kym Johnson, and Dmitry Chaplin’s professional dance performance.

Robin Thicke sang the song “Sidestep” to special guest professional dancers Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis (of So You Think You Can Dance fame)

Professional Dancer Competition (future Dancing with the Star professional)
Genya Mazo & Afton DelGrosso danced a Quickstep
Mayo Alanen & Anna Demidova danced a Jive
Brent Borbon and Snow Urbin were knocked out of the competition to be the next professional on Dancing with the Stars.

Another wonderful selection of music and dances. Plus, Team Mambo went up against Team Tango. Turns out that was also Beyonce up against Britney Spears. Easy to say that Beyonce would easily win that battle. The following is the music from tonight’s show or check out all the previous Dancing with the Stars 2009 music.

Gilles & Cheryl danced a Lindy Hop to the song “Go Daddy-O”—Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Lil’ Kim & Derek danced a Paso Doble to the song “El gato montes”—Manuel Penella

Chuck & Julianne danced a Cha-Cha-Cha to the song “I’m Outta Love”—Anastacia

Shawn & Mark danced a Samba to the song “Get Down On It”—Kool and the Gang

Melissa & Tony danced a Jive to the song “We Got the Beat”—The Go-Go’s

Ty & Chelsie danced a Salsa to the song “Vehicle”—The Ides of March

Shawn & Mark, Lacey & Tony, and Chuck & Julianne danced as Team Mambo to the song “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”—Beyoncé

Lil’ Kim & Derek, Gilles & Cheryl, and Ty & Chelsie danced as Team Tango to the song “Womanizer”—Britney Spears

InFANity is a show on the TV Guide channel that I’d never heard of before – but this week they delve into Dancing with the Stars. The video is in five parts, each part covering different aspects of the show. Every part has a lot of clips of dances and interviews, past and present. Stars from every season are interviewed, as are the judges and the hosts. The only people we see, but don’t hear a lot from, are my favorites – The Pros.

Part 1 – About the Show and the Judges

Part 2 – The Stars and The Winners

Part 3 – The Pros and the Hookups

Part 4 – The Injuries and….Bruno

The fifth and final part is all about the costuming, and the host learns the Cha Cha with Tony Dovolani.

Derek directs a music video set to the Ballas Hough Band’s song Do You Love Me. The video stars many of the celebrities and professional dancers from this seasons DWTS, in addition to brief appearances by Tom Bergeron, Samantha Harris, Shannon Elizabeth, Joanna Pacitti, Rascal Flatts and Boyz II Men. Read more about the Ballas Hough Band music video.

I really like the addition of the Professional dancer competition. It makes it fun for us to get to know the possible professional dancers and the dances they do are really quite wonderful. The following are the professionals that are competing to be the next professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars Season 9:
Mayo Alanen
Brent Borbon
Afton DelGrosso
Anna Demidova
Genya Mazo
Snow Urbin

Brent & Afton danced a Cha-Cha-Cha to the song “Damaged”—Danity Kane

Mayo & Anna danced a Waltz to the song

Genya & Snow danced a Rumba to the song “Stop and Stare”—OneRepublic

I always love the Dancing with the Stars results shows. Not because of the results. They drag that out too much. Instead, I love to see the special guest performances and adore seeing the professional dancers interpret the music and show their incredible skills. The following were tonight’s special guests on Dancing with the Stars:
Natasha Bedingfield sang the song “Soulmate” while Dmitry Chaplin and Lacey Schwimmer performed.

Celtic Woman sang the song “You Raise Me Up” while Eric Luna and Georgia Ambarian performed.

I must admit that I wasn’t sad to see Lawrence go home at all. I’m always sad when Edyta is gone, but Edyta and Lawrence just didn’t have a great connection so it was all good. I am very happy that Ty is still sticking around. Chelsie’s worked wonders.
