DWTS 10 Evan & Anna Dance Comparison
Evan Lysacek & Anna Trebunskaya ended the season with five recycled dances:
– Two of them happen to be the Viennese Waltz: the first done on the Week 1 and the second one on Week 10
– Four of the Five dances are Ballroom dances (Viennese Waltz, Waltz and Quickstep)
– Two of the recycled songs were originally done by celebs in Season 8
Interesting stats for these songs…
So starting with the two Viennese Waltz’s:
The first song was I’ll Be by Edwin McCain as originally done by Season 8’s Lil’ Kim and Derek Hough on Week 5.
And again on Season 10 Week 1 as done by Evan and Anna
The second Viennese Waltz was done to Billy Joel’s Piano Man originally on Season 5 Week 4 by Jane Seymour and Tony Dovolani.
And of course on Season 10 Week 10 by Evan and Anna.
Come midway through the season there was a Movie Night where every song was from a soundtrack of a known movie. In Evan and Anna’s case, the song was I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith from the movie Armegeddon .
This song was originally done as a Rumba on Season 1 Week 2 By Rachel Hunter and Jonathan Roberts.
Here’s Evan and Anna‘s version.
On Week 8 Evan and Anna danced a Waltz to Journey’s Open Arms . This was originally done by Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska on Season 8 Week 7
And Evan and Anna‘s version.
It would seem fitting that the final dance of Season 10 happens to be a Quickstep done to the song I Want You to Want Me by Letters to Cleo , which also happens to be one of the first songs that Cody Linley danced with Julianne Hough on Season 7 Week 1.
The Quickstep as done by Evan and Anna.
Stay tuned as the final Dance Comparison of the season… the champions of Dancing with the Stars Season 10: Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough.
From the moment I heard the saxophone playing during Evan’s 1st dance, I remembered Lil’ Kim’s waltz. Frankly, I liked Kim’s version better, but I’m probably biased towards her since she was the one I voted for that season. But Evan did a good job as well.
5 re-cycled songs? No wonder the choreography looks tired. Anna really needed to step that up.
