John Legend and Taio Cruz on Dancing with the Stars
Back again for tonight’s music from the special guests. As always be sure to check out last night’s DWTS music as well.
John Legend sang “Wake Up Everybody” ![Wake Up Everybody (Live In Studio Performance) [feat. Black Thought] - Wake Up! (Deluxe Version)](http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/images/web/linkmaker/badge_itunes-sm.gif){kind=icon}
with Cheryl Burke, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Tony Dovolani, and Chelsie Hightower performing.
John Legend sang “Ordinary People” with Mark Ballas and Jeanine Mason performing. I of course was happy to see Jeanine Mason (of SYTYCD fame) dancing with Mark Ballas on tonight’s show. It’s kind of an interesting mix of ballroom and contemporary. Looks like Jeanine enjoyed the experience.
Taio Cruz sang “Dynamite” with Louis van Amstel, Dmitry Chaplin, Tony Dovolani, Chelsie Hightower, Kym Johnson, and Peta Murgatroyd dancing
This is a crappy recording of Taio Cruz’s performance on DWTS, but I love the song and the dancing was pretty good too (hard for me to deny 3 blonde female dancers). Plus, someone asked for it in the comments
Is it just me or does Chelsie dance pretty much every week for the pro dances and special musical guests? I’m not complaining AT ALL. I’m really glad she is dancing. I’d be sad if she weren’t because I enjoy her dancing so much. It’s just interesting that she gets to do them so much.
I guess Chelsie is the youngest of the pros and has the most stamina, so that’s why she gets do dance a lot?
I’m certainly not complaining either, as an all-round dancer she’s definitely one of the best of the current stable of pros.
We were going crazy trying to remember who sang the original “Wake UP Everybody”. It was Harold Melvin
.
I agree…Chelsie can dance all she wants. She’s great.
Lizzbeth,
Next time don’t go crazy. Just ask. I’m not good at many things, but I could have told you that. Well, at least iTunes would have told me which I then could tell you;-)
“Is it just me or does Chelsie dance pretty much every week for the pro dances and special musical guests? I’m not complaining AT ALL.” Probably also gives her additional income, which is good for her. I presume the pros who last longer also make more money??
Bruce,
I have a feeling that’s the real reason. She seems like a smart girl that’s just getting started in the industry and so she’s taken whatever chances she can to make some money.
The pros do get paid more the farther they go. That’s why so many of them are angry when they get booted early. Not to mention when they get a star that won’t go very far.
Isn’t Jeanine Mason Mark’s current girlfriend? I’m sure I read that somewhere.
I’ve heard that Mark was dating Chelsie…
Thanks, John, for the music posts!!
Heidi, do you know if Jeanine and Mark are dating?
Now that Mark and Jeanine have danced together I’m sure they’ll be dating soon. It’s just the way Mark rolls.
John, I so agree. I loved the pro number with Peta in it with Chelsie and Kym!!!!
I thought Mark and Jeanine were dating?
Mark and Jeanine have been spotted together plenty of times. She was with at 200th DWTS Party as well.
I don’t think Chelsie and Mark dated/are dating/will date.
I thought Mark was dating a singer from American Idol. I don’t mind Chelsie dancing all the time. I love watching her.
There were overtures about Mark and Chelsie, but I don’t think they were ever officially dating. I think Chelsie called them good friends or something. Sounds like Chelsie turned down Mark to me, but that’s just conjecture.
Mark was dating the American Idol girl (sorry I forgot her name, maybe Joanna?), but they aren’t dating anymore.
Meggie, Corky said a week or so ago, in response to a pap saying, “Your son is dating Jeanine?” something like, “Isn’t that hot?” or Isn’t he lucky or some such thing. Then Mark came along and the paps repeated what Corky said and all Mark said was “My dad has a big mouth.” Which is, of course, the understatement of the century. Just ask Derek.
But then, every time you turn around he’s with Chelsie, gushing over chelsie, yadda yadda yadda. He may be confused. 
Or Jeanine was a short lived relationship or something.
Well, John, that dance was taped 2 or so weeks ago and he really hasn’t talked about her since then, so I think they dated and then stopped. I do agree he rolls that way.
“I don’t think Chelsie and Mark dated/are dating/will date.”
TRUER WORDS. But Mark is also smart enough to use his long time friendship with Chelsie to get attention since she is a popular figure, as well as seeming to be a genuinely good person. But I would also suggest Chelsie doesn’t mind being used since it gets her attention too. Jeanine was with Mark at the 200th episode party only last week, but although she said something about their dance, he said nothing. Maybe he doesn’t need her or need to mention her anymore since the dance has been broadcast.
