The Winner of DWTS Season 9 – Congratulations to…
…Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the best person won out of that final three. I never thought, at the beginning of this season, that I would be so ecstatic that an Osmond won the competition. But, while not the best dancer, Donny had heart, humility and passion for this show that was required to win. Sans the massive fanbase and ringer status, he still deserved to win over Mya and Kelly. The man got it done.
Why? Well, for me, it boiled down to Donny and Kelly. The two of them made me FEEL their dances – I cried when Kelly and Louis cried. Donny just plain entertained during his freestyle which Mya, with all her technical perfection, just couldn’t do. And, tonight, Donny made me feel all mushy and happy – yeah, he’s got too much of a mouth at times, but tonight when he was genuinely shocked that Kelly took third, and then he was over joyed when he won….well, he showed more excitement and heart than Mya showed all season. And that, my friends, is the key to winning Dancing with the Stars.
Congratulations again, to Donny and Kym.
All I can say is Yeah, Baby! Yeah, Baby!
YEAH, BABY!!!
Congratulations to Donny & Kym! Heidi, you have come a long way! Thanks for your kind words of Donny’s win! I couldn’t agree with you more!!
What a shame. No wonder the ratings of DWTS are going down the drain.
i could care less about Donny but he is not like Marie, he can be over the top but he is a nice guy but i’m so happy for Kym, i would hate to see her been second for the third time, so I’m really happy with the results, i like Kelly but her dance was not good, Mya dance was great but she is boring and Dmitry is so boring too.
Donny is probably the worst dancer to win dwts( Kelly monaco was bad too, Helio was actually really good in balroom), but like a said before I’m ok with him winning, i would much prefer to see MArk D. and Joanna in the finals.
“Down the drain” is a HUGE over statement. They were off slighly at the beginning of the season but I believe they have since rebounded. In any case, LOTS of shows would still kill for DWTS ratings. Most shows, in fact, since it’s in the top five or ten every week.
Phillipe,
Donny is better than Mark D. and I would hardly say he is the worse dancer to win DWTS. If Mark D. would have been in the finals then you would have had the worse dancer winning. I just don’t know what everyone’s gripe about Donny’s dancing is. The man can dance! And I am ecstatic that he won!
I think people need to understand once they opened the voting to the fans that this is an entertainment show not a dancing competition. And Donny is the ultimate showman. He worked really hard and he deserved to win!
Just my opinion.
Heh. I’ve not come as far as you might think. I do know how to be gracious, though. 🙂
I think you summed it up perfectly, Princess Heidi. I’m thrilled Donny and Kym won for all the reasons you mentioned and more. Kelly was truly stunning to watch and she lifted my heart when she danced and smiled. Mya and Dimitry never took me anywhere when they danced, except for the disco number a while back and the recent paso doble. Donny never failed to genuinely entertain. Kudos to Kym for creating dances that showcased his strengths.
Donny won simply because of his fanbase. He is neither a great dancer through natural ability, and neither did he improve greatly throughout the season! The true winner for me is Mya, well done to Mya and Dmitry! They entertained me all season!
You nailed it. It’s all about heart and giving it to the crowd when you dance. If that were the case, really Kelly should have won. But I’m glad Donny won, he deserved it. I agree with your thoughts. Mya and Dmitry were excellent as well, but I think the trophy went to the right person. Cheers!
