DWTS The Closest Thing To Dancing For Gavin DeGraw Was Parking Cars At A Nightclub
One more week until showtime of Dancing With The Stars!! It seems like an eternity, I know. However, the lead up can be just as fun. Below is a little interview with Gavin DeGraw from WZZM13 in Grand Rapids, Michigan to get the day started.
ADDING: Karina has a new blog up at People.com. Below is take where she talks abut Gavin, Detriot, and the rest of the cast…
Right now, my Dancing with the Stars partner Gavin DeGraw and I in are Detroit, and it’s freezing. I’m like, “Oh, my gosh, it’s so cold. Thirty degrees is not warm.” Gavin is touring right now and we need to find time to rehearse, so I came out here with him. He’s doing his best not to overload himself with too much work. So far, it’s been amazing. And I’m actually going to one of his shows for the first time.
Gavin’s a great partner but he’s never danced before. He was never in dance classes or anything like that when he was a kid but he’s been working really hard. Plus, he’s got swagger and charisma, which always helps in the ballroom. I’ve had a blast rehearsing with him so far. He’s funny and he’s self-deprecating in many ways. The new season, which premieres March 19, has been amazing so far.
The rest of the cast is great and very diverse. There are people who have some dancing experience and some who do not. I think this season is going to be very competitive. I think people will be very pleasantly surprised when the show airs.
Hmm, Karina could be in trouble! π “Posture seems to be quite important” LMAO!
Posture may be the least of their worries… LOL
Karina is one of my favs, but Gavin is so forgettable and as much as I would like to support her this season, this pairing is just not doing anything for me.
Unfortunately, even if he is pretty good, he’ll get lost in the pack. Donald Driver, Jaleel White, Melissa Gilbert, Sherri Shepherd, Gladys Knight. I’m even worried about Maria & Roshon, who I think will dance great, but not have the fans who will go all out to vote hard.
His tour schedule is insane. I just hope heβll survive the first elimination.
Not good idea to do concerts and dwts. Karina will have her work cut out.
Heard a radio ad today that he is going to be in Austin, Tx on March 20. I was like what, the day after the first show.
I think it was Heidi who said it seems just like his doing it for the PR, and I think she’s right π I was hoping Karina would get another contender to make a “repeat” of her winning interesting. Thought they should have paired her with William Levy–still having to travel, but chemistry would have been hotter than he and Cheryl IMHO.
karina just had his latin partner last season…i’ve voted for them and rob, and i think it’s a little selfish now to give karina another latin guy. karina had the karate kid as well before jr. cheryl have had a bunch of klutzy partners after gilles, and i think she’s definitely due for a partner who can dance.
and i love gavin. if karina can make him a dancer, he can be the next rob. he seems to have a sweet personality and likeability. he’s musical and karina said he’s got rhythm.
Belski, what does being Latin have to do with who they are partnered with? That’s like saying Lacey gets the “chubby” partners, so throw her a skinny guy. Cheryl gets hot guys, give her an ugly one for a change. See?
Just like people make the argument about Derek “getting ringers”–Nicole, Jen, and some thought Ricki was one, and some fan sites claim Maria is the ringer lol.
One fan there had said, “How many good dancing bl-ck men is Kym gonna get…give them to Anna so she has a chance.”
Anyway, at least Karina seems happy and enjoying teaching Gavin unlike when Mark won with Shaun and then got “grumpy” with MellyJ.
latinos are born to dance. there’s some who’s pretty bad as well, but hardly. they are just naturally rhythmic, and it’s in their blood. they didn’t create the latin dances for no reason, lol.
good lookin men on the other hand does not mean you are a good dancer.cheryl have had a bunch of hot men who cannot dance.thank god for her great teaching prowess.
i’d rather get the type of partners that karina gets than cheryl. cheryl gets all these big guys, and height difference alone is quite a disadvantage for her. in real ballroom world, big height difference is a big setback and avoided as much. and sexy men are held to higher standards.they would look stupid running around and trying to be cute. they need to execute properly, be sexy, and do real dancing, or else it would be a big turn off. it’s harder for them to be charismatic, than say the likes of Jr, apolo,helio, Drew, Mario, Ralph.
i think Kym is the luckiest as of late. just becoz shes given partners a lot who can dance and very personable, and not to mention, w some of the biggest fanbase—–winning ingredients! but i give her credit for being a great choreographer as well. jmo
Hope the Karina “hatin’ fans” leave her alone about this:

I guess she’s just supposed to hang out at club at have pics taken with half naked guys, do the batchlorette, and mop around the show not speaking to people…. π
haha…meant “mope” around…lmao
I hope they leave them alone too Sheery (if true)!! It’s so hard for celebrities to try and have any kind of relationship.
