I’m really looking forward to this week.
I love the theme and I love the two team dance songs.
And I cant wait to see Derek and Alison’s dance on tuesday after reading Derek’s tweets.
Me too Gitte!! π
I love βBring Me to Life.β – very powerful and aggressive..and Derek is choreographing…all good…hopefully …it would be a shame to blow the performance…And then…Allison and Derek…OMG..i smell an Emmy nomin. if that’s not a powerhouse…i don’t know what is…and did you see the pic Derek tweeted? i can only add: MERCY!
Yeah, Mon. & Tues on DWTS sounds pretty darn exciting! Looking forward to both team dances and I am SUPER EXCITED about the duet with Derek & Allison who is also in his new movie Cobu3D.
The picture Derek tweeted with Allison was HAWT!!! They both sound so excited too!!!
Well this is one time I’m looking forward to seeing Justin Bieber!!!
Good Luck Ricki & Derek and to the other couples as well!! I hope the rest of the season is a good one.
What a great lineup for the results show – guess they landed Bieber since he has the Holiday album to promote. The Marksie shippers are already squealing and screeching.
I am a little bit unclear if Derek and Allison are performing a routine on their own of if they are performing to Justin Bieber’s second song. My first impression is that they are doing a stand alone performance without a musical guest. I do know that Derek and Allison are spending A LOT of time on this routine because they spent 5 hours rehearsing on Wed night and 4 hours rehearsing last night. That sounds like a lot of rehearsing, right? And they will probably block it on Sun or Mon night. I just don’t want them to perform to Justin Bieber!!! LOL, not a fan of his.
Nevermind, I read through previous DWTS press releases and if pro dancers are dancing to a musical guest, they’ve always written “accompanied” or “with”. So I’ve given myself peace of mind knowing that Derek and Allison aren’t dancing to Bieber. LOL!
LOL Elmari!!!! π
Justine Bieber. Yay. π
I love Bring Me to Life, but I was really really hoping it woudnt be used because that was the song Evan and Anna(my fav couple ever) danced to when they did their paso(my fav paso doble ever). I didnt want it to be touched. At least Derek is on that team, the dance won’t suck and I won’t have to go find the dwts studio and hurt the genuis who decided to recycle that song. I am not excited about Justin Bieber.
I’m with you on that one Elmari. π
But I doubt they would rehearse that many hours just to dance to his song. I’m sure it’s a stand alone performance.
Oh happy day! I won’t have to listen to Justin in order to see Derek and Allison dance. No disrespect to Mr. Bieber (or his many fans), he just isn’t “my cup of tea” as Len would say π
WWWWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! I have really been liking this years results show so much more for content, pace, ets., (example Busby Berkley treatment set to a modern song) but tell me…..can there ever be ANY without Mark Ballas and the new trend now seems to be Val,sometimes twice? Jeeez. I was kinda happy to hear Val was gonna be on the show cause I had seen him perform in competition but I am sick of him already. And why aren’t these guys called arrogant, self-serving to their careers, full of themselves, like someone else who is very talented that we see much less often ? And Lacey, SICK of her and Chelsie H. can’t choreograph out herself out of a paper box and does the same thing over and over, just dull. Why not bring back Anna Demidova, one or two of Tony’s x-partners, or pull girls from the new troupe?
Courtney, are you the one with”dance” background ?? Is there any method to the madness ??
Also SOOOOO glad Derek’s not dancing to Bieber.
I agree with you about Val. Why does he have to be in all the result shows?
But I don’t won’t Anna D back. IMO she is the pro with the worst choreo out of all of them.
The only dances she did that I liked were the ones she did with Mayo and Maurice when competing to be the new pro on the next season.
I have to disagree with you guys a little. π I love Val and can’t get enough of him. With that said, you guys will get a break from his this week I think since he’s in NYC currently for a “Dance With Me” event.
I like Val’s dancing so I don’t mind seeing him on the results show. My guess is they’re paying him quite well for his participation this season and want to get their money’s worth and also keep him in front of the viewers in case they want to use him as a pro again next season.
I watched Evan and Annas Paso and I am apprehensive with my excitement for this weeks team dance. The paso to this song had precise movements across the floor, it seems like one pair being out of step and could be curtains. And as far as Team Tango I really don’t care for their song at all, granted they will be in hold which could be easier to pull this one off. But as of now, I can only wish both teams well, and may be the best team win!
On another note, East Coaster here, and we are getting pounded with a snow storm, with limbs breaking and trees hanging down. Please pray that no one in the path of this storm is harmed and everyone remains safe until we ride this one out….
Cidra, I bet you are right.
Sandy, I’ll be praying. Be safe and stay warm. I hope the power doesn’t go out.xxx
I go with Dwtsfreak…
I’m not the fan of recycling the songs. The paso was Evan most memorable dance IMO. And Lance tango was very outstanding too…
think there are some songs that should never be used again…
I also think it is a bad idea to reuse songs from dances that have been very memorable – i.e. Evan & Anna’s paso & Giles & Cheryl’s Argentine tango. I can’t help comparing to the first dance.
I am in the minority. I remember Evan danced to that ong but not as this awesome dance like Gilles. I also do not think he was robbed like some feel. I have low expectations on the team dances this year given the level of celebs dancing. But they will not suffer from Evan comparisons for me. It is not near Drew’s paso to Thriller.
I am excited about Allison and Derek dancing together. They are so talented and this will be the highlight of the results show for me.
