Cameron Mathison Sits Down With All Twelve Contestants On Eve Of DWTS (GMA Video)
Cameron Mathison of Good Morning America went into rehearsals on stage for Dancing With The Stars yesterday! You can see a peek of their routines. He asks them some good questions too. This is good! Enjoy!!
Extra talked with the contestants as well. More below….
Great video! So excited for tonight!
Wow…Katherine looked so graceful 🙂 They didn’t show Melissa. William…muy caliente! (That’s it, right lol)
Make it be showtime, Sheery! 😛
Didn’t Donald and Peta look good too? Wow, and I had them pegged as not being the strongest? Then again, we won’t really know until tonight when we see the full routines. We’re finally here. YAYYYyy
Loved Tony’s Giants hardhat…One of my favorite pro teams….wonder how Donnie Driver feels about that hat?
Anyway, everybody is looking good. This is going to be a great dancing season. Cannot wait til tonight. 🙂
Ah…Mr Dovolani….we remember the clip of you going to Heinz Field, meeting the Steelers and being in awe of them and calling Hines great. I never saw your Giants gear LOL…… hehehe.
Auntie Bellum, They might be trying to freak out Donald, now that I think of it LOL. Kym’s been wearing a Steelers cap to rehearsals LOL
….and wonderful dancing will ensue! Fingers crossed for everyone
Wow…Maria looks much better than I expected, I’m happy to say. Derek seems to have given her some fancy footwork as well.
Maria looks like a model ” stiff ” but still pretty, Gavin is better than I thought, Gladys moves like someone half her age, Jaleel is set, Wlliam looks likes he will do great Katherine is just SO PRETTY and classy, Sherri is looks good and I lover her sense of humor, Jack Wagner, I think, we’ll suprise, Donald and Peta look good, and Reshon looks really good too, I couldn’t really tell on Martina but I still lover her. There, that sums it up. 🙂
Yeah, Maria looked good, Donald also looked good… didn’t see enough of Jaleel to tell, but I figure he’ll do great as well. I noticed that Roshon has some definite “hip-hop” influence in what he’s doing – I wonder how Len is going to take that? 😉 And for me, Katherine might just be the surprise of the night!
Oh, one more thing – I was desperately hoping that William’s head wouldn’t seem small to me in that video… Nope, it’s just tiny compared to that huge, muscled body of his… 😯
I didn’t think Maria looked stiff at all. In that one rehearsal video, I thought she was actually too loose. But we’ll see. That was the first time on the big stage, after all.
Teeny tiny peanut head :::sings:::
sheery (#7) – Donald has played in and won a Super Bowl…. I don’t think a Giants hard hat or a Steelers cap will make him do anything more than giggle, and rub his Super Bowl ring… 😉
Very impressed with how good Katherine and Maria looked.
Glad I’m not the only one who thinks William’s head is too small for his muscled body. Cheryl is totally going for sex appeal. She wants to make him Gilles 2.0, but I don’t think lightening will strike twice. He’ll be good, but not Gilles good.
Roshon is gonna be the one to upset Len all season. I see maybe a 8-6-8 score for him tonight, or a 7-6-7 score, depending on how the whole dance goes.
Something tells me they wanna keep the scores really close tonight to market that whole “most competitive season ever” idea.
The only ones that didn’t look good to me out of this little clip was Donald and Gavin. It’s going to be interesting to see how they turn out tonight.
For someone who has no dance/performance background, I think Maria looks fantastic. Derek’s definitely turning her into a dancer. Excited!
They all look pretty good-IMO This should be a great night of performances.
You guys are cracking me up about William’s tiny little head. 😉 I’m going to make a concentrated effort to watch him without thinking of that. It may be a wasted effort, but I want to be fair to everyone on the first dance.
My beverages are ready..my voting fingers are ready. Let’s get this show on the road. 🙂
One other thought – that clip actually made me a little worried about Gladys. I didn’t see a whole lot of movement there. Of course, girlfriend is 68, but still…
I was pleasantly surprised with all of the celebs. I agree with Cameron, I think this could be one of the fiercest seasons of competition ever. Bring it on!
Lets see if I still feel that way tomorrow!! 🙂
Sally, you aren’t alone. That clip made me nervous for Gladys too!!
Really guys??? Gladys was moving great.
And I’m also worried about Gavin still.
I don’t think Gladys & Tristan were going full out in that clip – so I’m reserving judgement for now. The one that made me nervous, however, is Martina – stiff and posture wasn’t great.
And am I seeing things – how can that move of Peta’s not be considered a lift? Unless it’s first evening pass??
Maybe I will become a fan of William’s tonight, he seems nice enough and all, but he just doesn’t do anything for me. I get the “Pretty boy” vibe from him, and if Cheryl plays it up too much it could be a turn off for some. Just my opinion though.
Interesting that this is the first time they did the GMA premiere footage without showing the songs for the dances.
Previous seasons, they showed the couples rehearsing to their songs. Nice that we might get some song surprises tonight.
LOL auntie bellum … i cannot get that image out of my head either “teeny tiny peanut head” Every time I see one of his interviews/rehearsal packages i’m reminded what an astute observation that was! Let’s hope sex appeal is not the only thing he’s got going for him tonight
Zach – it’s just one opinion. To me Gladys’ movement was “small”… sort of tentative, not very crisp. Maybe it was that they weren’t going full speed, as Twick mentioned, or it was the camera angle, or (most likely) just me being a worry-wort. 🙂 But for what it’s worth, there it is.
Jaleel absolutely know how to play the crowds, but that posture is not looking that great! He is lacking a little finesse. Kym is not a strong technical teacher, and that would hurt them as the seasons go along when expectations get higher.He is also kind of too loud and sounding over confident.He has that sense of Joey Fatone who can be annoying in times!
William is looking sharp and crisps, and those hips are going to get him a lot of votes. And i have seen a lot of his interviews and he is just as charming and humble as Gilles. But i think his good sense of humor may give him the edge over Gilles.But i have seen Cheryl teaching him posture and hold, and he was having a hard time be elegant and classy.
Sherri is looking light and has feel good outlook. But Val may not have the goods to take him all the way.If she has Derek, she’s definitely a top 2!
Maria has some great moments, but some awkward.
Roshon is very energetic, but style will wear out soon and not the judges cup of tea.
Gladys is looking amazing at her age, and she can dance! But she will not have the endurance.
Donald is looking good, but he’s not polished.
Katherine is beautiful and very elegant, but no piazzas.
William, Jaleel, Sherri, Roshon, Katherine, and Maria in no particular order are the top teams from this clip.
GOD Maria Menouno is looking hot! haha So pumped for tonight! Everyone is looking good Katherine Jenkins, I wish America will give her a chance. William Levy is looking real good. Jaleel. I mean really it’s going to be a fun, entertaining, tough season! I mean for right now there will be some shocking eliminations this season! But I’m going with my gut and say Maria and Derek all the way! Go Team Menough!
Absolutely, Sally and I respect your opinon, also. We’ll see in a few hours. :
William is looking to be in between a Cristian and Gilles type. I think his cha cha song is “Papi” by Jennifer Lopez because that was the song playing in the background when he was being interviewed in florida while practicing. Makes sense though. I can’t get over how beautiful Katherine is and her personality and beauty radiates around her and shows in her dancing. Maria is looking much better than I thought. I’m worried for Jack, but didn’t see enough, just worried because of his position in the lineup. I’m actually not sold on Jaleel yet, but he has high expectations from everyone. Martina is probably in danger, because most if not all the tennis stars that I have seen on the US and UK version have gone out first. Not convinced with Sherri yet either, but Gladys looks like she moves better than Nancy so Tristan might have a little bit of an easier time. Donald could be a surprise, I just hope he’s more Hines and not like Michael Irvin.
Oooooh! Those were fun, fun, fun vids, Vogue. Thank you. Maybe we just saw all their best moves, 8) but I doubt it. We’ll know soon! I can hardly stand the wait. These last few hours are killin’ me!
1st Video: Excited to see them all TONIGHT! Bringin it to the dance floor!
2nd Video: Gavin just an all around genuinely nice guy! Love it!
