Broadway Music on Dancing with the Stars 2011

Time again for the list of Dancing with the Stars Music. A number of people have started complaining about all the theme weeks. Another reason the theme weeks are wearing on me is that they don’t introduce us to new music. I love when they pull out some music that we’ve never heard before. With all the theme weeks that just hasn’t happened as much. It’s too bad. Without further ado, the Broadway music from tonight’s episode of Dancing with the Stars.

Rob & Cheryl danced a Cha-Cha-Cha to the song “Walk Like a Man” Walk Like a Man - Jersey Boys (Original Broadway Cast Recording)—The Four Seasons from Jersey Boys
Nancy & Tristan danced a Foxtrot to the song “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” Always Look On the Bright Side of Life - Spamalot (Original Broadway Cast) from Monty Python’s Spamalot
David & Kym danced a Quickstep to the song “We Go Together” We Go Together - Grease (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture) from Grease
Ricki & Derek danced a Quickstep to the song “Luck Be a Lady” Luck Be a Lady - Guys and Dolls (50th Anniversary Cast Recording) from Guys and Dolls
Chaz & Lacey danced a Tango to the song “The Phantom of the Opera” The Phantom of the Opera - The Phantom of the Opera (Original Cast Recording) from The Phantom of the Opera
Hope & Maks danced a Rumba to the song “Seasons of Love” Seasons of Love - Rent (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) from Rent
J.R. & Karina danced a Quickstep to the song “Hot Honey Rag” Hot Honey Rag - Chicago - The Musical from Chicago
Group Broadway Dance to the song “Big Spender” Big Spender - Sweet Charity (Soundtrack from the Musical) & “Money Money” Money Money - Cabaret from Sweet Charity & Cabaret

DWTS Season 13, Week 6 – Dancing by the Numbers

Well, another season, another mis-placed Maks blow up. Oy veh.  It’s a shame – he had me until the sky box. Where he lost me. And then he apparently unfollows Derek because Derek speaks his mind for a change?? Hypocrisy, thy name is Maks. Dude, if you want the freedom to speak your mind, you have to give the same freedom to everyone else.  I find it most shocking of all that he doesn’t SEE all this. Any thinking being would say, well, he’s free to air his opinions, good or bad.  And that’s true. But where does it say that he gets that freedom, yet Derek (or Len, or Carrie Ann or Karina or Bruno) doesn’t?  And, if you’re going to air your opinions loudly on TV, you have to take the responses you get, good and bad. We all do. Instead, he un-follows Derek and his fans lambaste Derek on twitter – um, who was the ass on TV again?? Hint: it wasn’t Derek. Or Karina. Or JR. Or Nancy – all of whom expressed opinions similar to Derek’s, or at least displeasure.

Were the judges badly behaved? Bruno was, in his comments to Chaz, whose feelings I think were terribly hurt. It’s a cumulative effect – there’s only so long you can take those comments. I don’t think Len deserved what he got. We’ve all discussed how the judges can suck – but we’ve known this for YEARS.  For the love of god, this isn’t new and the complainers have certainly benefited from them being wacky in the past – and will in the future, most likely. There is a lot to be said for professionalism…and as Maks himself said, he’s been on the show long enough to know how this game works. Or he should.

Unfortunately, Maks will likely come out the winner in all this. Gain followers through controversy, gain sympathy votes, gain another week – maybe even gain a role in Dirty Dancing for being a complete ass, since the director was in the audience. Mission accomplished?? We’ll see. 🙂

As for the rest of the cast? Well, the cynical side of me wonders if Maks does this with half a mind to getting attention for him and Hope because the rest of them seem to be an afterthought, with the exception of Derek and his brouhaha. Have a bad dance and need votes?? Instigate massive, attention getting fight, thus getting your fans all riled up on your behalf.

Seriously  – conspiracy theories generally don’t fly with me. Occam’s Razor – the simplest explanation is likely the correct one (in a nutshell).  He was probably just having a blow after bottling it in for years (um, theoretically?).  🙂  Just a momentary flight of fancy on my part.  I do think that Evaine and her sparkle/glitter crew need to give Maks a twirl and a glitter shower. I think she’s up for the task. 🙂

Apart from the blow out, Hope certainly got the personality of the dance right – and I actually liked her more last night than I have before. But the girl is not a great dancer, no matter what Maks is trying to sell. I don’t think the judges were that far off the mark, personally.

Nancy!! Hurray for Nancy!! Don’t think she deserved a 9, but Len balanced it out. Of course, that damn song is stuck in my head forever now.  And I’m whistling a lot. Hurray for Tristan too – that was some nice, bright, choreography. I think they both had a breakthrough.

Ricki and JR – both fantastic dances. My only concern is the same as it always is – the top of the leaderboard, combined with a massive fight between another couple and the judges, can lead to a lack of votes for other dancers – just through sheer neglect. I don’t think either of them will be in trouble, but it could spell trouble for someone like David or Nancy.

David, Rob and Chaz – I’ll be honest and say that I don’t remember much about their dances. Is the dance the problem or everything that followed? Hard to say.  Oh, but go back and watch over Tom’s shoulder in the third tier of seats – before Chaz dances. Hilarious. Anyway, enough blather.

Let’s look at the numbers.

The Judges Scores and Percentages

Place Celebrity Score Percentage
1. Ricki 29 17.47
2. JR 29 17.47
2. Nancy 24 14.46
4. David 23 13.86
4. Rob 22 13.25
6. Hope 20 12.05
7. Chaz 19 11.45

I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)

DWTS13 Week 6 Power Rankings

Wish I could say I had a blast watching the show tonight, but unfortunately, I found myself counting down the minutes until it was over 🙁 With the exception of a few bright spots,  I was left with an overall feeling of “meh” tonight, and there were a few cringeworthy moments.  But I will say this: I commend all of the stars tonight for actually looking like they had FUN 🙂 Seriously, it seemed like every single one of them enjoyed themselves out on the floor, even if things weren’t so rosy off the floor.

Thoughts on the group dance: First off, a shout-out to Amanda, a fellow Blockhead who reminded me that Kevin Maher, the guy who choreographed the group routine, has also worked with NKOTB, namely choreographing their video to “Single”.  Instant points in my book 🙂 Anywho! I think I enjoyed this dance more than any of the other group dances in the past, for the simple reason that it felt more theatrical and also less-obviously structured – the ones in the past have always driven me nuts with the whole “Ok we’re dancing as a group, in unison – now here’s this couple doing a solo bit, and then this couple, now this couple, etc etc etc”.  Nancy stood out for me – loved that she seemed to be having a ball.  But really – how could any dance go wrong with Carson as the creative director? 😉

1.)    TIE: Ricki & Derek and JR & Karina – Obviously they’re tied in terms of score, but there were specific things I enjoyed about each performance.  I thought Ricki & Derek’s was a bit cleaner and better-executed, but I thought JR & Karina had the more eye-catching, theatrical choreography.  Loved Ricki’s fearlessness in just attacking the dance head-on; loved JR’s fun-loving, energetic attitude.  I really love both of these couples, and I’d be fine with either winning…although I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t pulling for JR a bit 😉 I think it would take some pretty eye-popping voting going on by fans of the other couples to topple either one of these couples this week, but Martinoff & Drickilous fans beware: the judges could try to pull the ol’ storyboarding act in the weeks to come in order to keep things “interesting”, and it could be to the detriment of one of them.  Keep voting!!!!

3.) Nancy & Tristan – FINALLY! We get a routine out of these two that’s equal parts meat-and-potatoes choreo and carefree fun 🙂 Definitely the cutest, most upbeat routine of the night – and Heidi got her Spamalot! wish! 😀 It was the most relaxed and uninhibited I’ve seen Nancy, and I loved it.  Loved the little hop-steps Tristan threw in – a nice, very Monty Python touch.  I’m glad these two were finally able to get out of the funk they’ve been in the past few weeks.  I’m thinking they’re probably going to be safe, given that they’ve had a breakthrough week and got a comparatively good score.  Read more..

Dancing With The Stars Season 13 Week 6 Costume Sketches And More Fun Stuff

DWTS13 Week 6 Ricki Lake And Derek Hough To Tap Dance Tonight!

In a new interview that took place Friday night with Broadway World, Ricki discloses details about her upcoming projects, passions, and being a huge Broadway fan. In fact, Ricki would love to do Broadway someday and hopes her dancing on Dancing With The Stars will help her get a role.

RL: Oh, yeah. I am hoping to do Broadway someday. I mean – really. I am not a dancer – clearly, I am not a dancer – but, I am working really hard to make it look like I am. I am singer, though. So, if this leads to some opportunity onstage, I would love it.

Ricki also discusses the good times and the challenges of doing Dancing With The Stars. She also gives us a hint of what to expect of her and Derek’s dance tonight which includes tap dancing (you would not believe the happy dance twirl I just did after reading this and I about broke my neck! lol 🙂 )….

PC: How have you been enjoying your time on DANCING up until now?
RL: Well, I have to tell you: we just had this halfway point party and at the party people were just maniacs – they were throwing down on the dance floor!

PC: Well, given it’s a DANCING WITH THE STARS party, I’d expect no less.
RL: It was crazy! I mean, it was a bar, but people were cutting loose. It was really the crew that was doing it – there were the dancers, too – but the crew went crazy! I didn’t stay for too long because I had to dance the next day.

PC: How have you been handling all the responsibility and pressure inherent in the experience of doing this show?
RL: Oh, like, right now, I am racing home to get ready for the Chaz Bono event tonight. He is being honored and we are going. I am a lunatic – but, I am having a great time, at the same time, you know? [Laughs.]

PC: You must be stressed out.
RL: Yeah, it’s a lot – and, I have Derek beating me up. This week, in this dance, I am doing the quickstep and I am doing a little tap-dancing in it, too. It’s just exhausting. It takes so much out of me. Just doing it once, I am just sweating buckets.

More of this fun ‘in-depth’ interview HERE!!

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

Cameron Mathison from Good Morning America says J.R. “has charmed everyone on Dancing With The Stars” and isn’t that the truth. His “charisma, jest for life, and all of his dances have kept him at the top of the leader board for 5 weeks running.” Cameron is so proud to call him his “close friend” which you can see is apparent in this interview.

While they walk in a park discussing J.R.’s life, you can also see J.R.”s dog, Romeo, who has the same amazing “focus” as J.R.

The camera goes into rehearsals and Cameron gives J.R. advise on dancing as well.

Great personal interview!!!

ADDING: In this new touching video on Access Hollywood, J.R.’s former nurses and doctors send him good luck wishes for Dancing With The Stars. I can’t embed it, but, be sure to watch it at the link.
