William Levy In Vanity Fair Italia, People Espanol’s 50 More Beautiful People Issue, & More Media
Pictured above is Dancing With The Stars Season 14 contestant William Levy in the May issue of Vanity Fair Italia. They’ve also got a one page article of he and Cheryl and Dancing With The Stars. Special thanks to @WLW_ITALIA for the scan. Be sure you are following her if you love William.
William is also in People’s Espanol 50 Most Beautiful People issue this month. You can see him in a new shoot for the issue below.
Also, we know a little more on his dances coming up. William has tweeted he and Cheryl have a Tango and a Samba for next week.
One more thing! While at twitter, I ran onto to this fun fan video made of William that I thought was cool which covers his career including Dancing With The Stars. This is only for the serious William Levy fan! Yes, I am pathetic. LOL
Ok, more later! 😉
I still dont find the appeal with him, you know who should have this much coverage Tristan 😀
Voguerista … Thanks for posting this about William. I’m pathetic too. LOL
YW Nicole. 😉
Vogue, thanks for sharing these bits about William. I find him such a natural performer … and surprisingly engaging in his own way … who’s not afraid to show the ‘boy’ in him sometimes. Some are drawn to him by his sex appeal, I am drawn to him because he’s refreshingly ‘natural’. I guess, I am pathetic, too.
He’s not the handsomest DWTS contestant … I think Cristian de la Fuente is handsomer but he does not have the ‘killer’ charm that makes William quite appealing.
Well said bebingc! I think you nailed it about him.
Yeah, Tristan all the way, Cristina!
Oh why??? WHY did they have to partnered him with Cheryl??? They totally destroyed the whole thing!
When I first heared that he was going to be in the cast I was really surprised by that and my first thought was: “He is going to win this”! And it seems that this is very possible the way things are going!
I said it before that I am voting for Maria and if she gets eliminated, all my votes go to Donald! The only reason I am not going to vote for William it’s because of Cheryl and that makes me really sad cause I really like him (as a person and as a character) and I think he is a good dancer. Not great, but he is good! But Cheryl really turned me off and I don’t want to see her winning!! But IF they win, I’ll be very happy for HIM and at the same time very sad because that will mean that Cheryl will get another MBT….
Once again, thanks Vogue for posting this! 🙂 And…ευχαριστούμε Εύα για το video!!! 😀
P.S. That was Thalia??? OMG!!! I didn’t even recognize her!!!! O_o
YW and LOL, yep, that was Thalia!
And Girls, we’d be happy to post more on Tristan if there was something.
I think him paired with Cheryl Burke was a real ‘genuius’. The casting people know what works … and she does know how to bring up the best in him. We may not like the ‘sex’ factor but, hey, you just have to look at William and what makes him such a sensation among women – the ‘sex’ thing and he does it so effortlessly and with such unmistakable and natural charm. Can you imagine him with Kym? Peta? Hmmm … Nope. Karina is definitely sexy but hers come across as so blatant – not contrived because she oozes ‘sex’ … just too much and I think instead of making William more excitable and sexy, William will lose that boyish sexy charm. Can you imagine him with Lacey? Chelsie? I can’t! Cheryl’s sexy, ‘girl-next-door charm will enhance William’s sexiness. Whether we like it or not, anyone who will be paired with him will use what Cheryl is doing. Look, Kym tried the ‘6-pack’ thing with her partner Jaleel … I don’t know … it didn’t look authentic. I remember Karina with that sexy chef, she totally smoked out the ‘geeky’ side of him …. Felt bad for the guy … he was an awkward dancer and that just got magnified. Cristian de la Fuente could have suffered a similar fate if he was paired with the wrong dancer. I think, William should be thankful he has Cheryl as his partner. Together, they ‘explode’ on the dancefloor.
To my opinion these seris of photos, unfortuntely, are not reflecting William’s beauty, attraction and sex appeal.
Nope, still don’t see it. And this season? Kym is three times the choreographer that Cheryl is.
Sigh. Tango = Carrie Ann pulling out the “You nail the character so well” bullsh*t again. Samba = Genital Scores. All in all? Don’t be surprised if Willy Boy gets a perfect 60.
Nope, I don’t see it either. That is so not a flattering picture of Willy’s face. Probably one of his worst ever, and sexier men then William have kept their shirts on. Sexy is a complete package, not just a bare chest.
Willy is going to appear in the new season of “Single Ladies” on VH1 as a stable boy named Antonio….
As far as choreography, its appeal hinges on the viewer’s tastes/background and, as we all are obviously different, we look at things differently. Beauty is highly subjective and relative. As they say, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Now as to how someone is “three times the choreographer” the other is, I think, that conclusion is relative and subjective. It is like CarrieAnn talking about dance-content, what does she really mean? Dance-content as it relates to the dance’s characteristic steps/movement (she says William is a much better dancer than is shown in his Rumba)? Composition as expressed in movement in space or use of space (I supposed her main issue … some likened him to a pole, hmmm)? Choreography results from the marriage of different and various elements: timing/rhythm, movements/gestures… other visual expressions, space/staging … music, costumes, etcetera, that creates or conveys the concept, feel and desired visual for the dance. If the presentation is flawed and problematic, then that ‘choreography’ is obviously a failure. If it fails to highlight the performer’s talents or if it fails to make the performer look good, then the choreography is ineffective. DWTS performances are not just about entertaining the viewers … these performances are geared to making these so called ‘stars’ real celebrities (the unspoken objective results to great ‘ratings’ for the show). As regards the stardom-connection, Gilles Marini is one perfect example. Mario Lopez is another …. How their trainers presented them made a difference on how their talents got known. Karina made a dancer in Mario who obviously came into the show with the ‘gift’ but Karina was instrumental in unraveling his talent and helped him become a dancer … a ‘star’. Her work with him made him an appealing, charming, and competent dancer/performer. Cristian de la Fuente became a dancer much later in the show: under Cheryl’s mentoring, he became quite a dancer. The same can be said of Rob Kardashian. Now Gilles became a standout performer in his Argentine Tango because of the person who trained him in that dance. I do believe that there are some people who really are born with ‘two left feet’ … I had trained some … (they did improve but the training was emotionally, physically, and mentally draining). Derek’s frustration with Maria is totally relatable but the competitive in him as a trainer makes him think and try beyond the usual … . and inspires him to create ‘magic’ that often results from his frustration, passion, and love. Cheryl’s work shows her pragmatic approach to choreography _ she’s creating each dance based on her star’s skills, potentials, level … personality … the restrictions/limitations/constraints of the music and training time. Frankly, I like Kym … has enjoyed her work but her style would be perfect for a Joey F, Donny O … Hines but, I think, with someone like William, Cheryl’s the best choice for him, and her work with him suits William’s temperament and personality best. So who is the better choreographer, I’d say the one who makes her/his celebrity shine brighter. Val C thought the craziness directed toward William would dissipate but to his surprise, it has not. Part of the reasons why his ‘star’ has remained bright and alive in DWTS stage is that exceptional talent behind his performances _ Cheryl.
I can see Kym with William. I never really liked Cheryl much until last season. She was so good for Rob K. Now she has an attitude like she is better than thou. Combined with the sex pimping, she’s brought William down which is sad. Kym is a total class act and very humble …much like William. With her body and personality, they would have made a killer couple.
Jaleel is a pretty sexy guy as well and had dance background more than William ever did, and Kym couldn’t make him look good and improve upon his natural ability. Also part of William as spectacular as he is now, is Cheryl’s influence and her wonderful teaching ability. William was not that great when he first started, but he is now quickly becoming the best dancer- better than Katherine’s natural ability. He’s grown so much as a dancer and a performer.
William is very humble, because Cheryl taught him how to carry himself well. Rob was a douche, but with Cheryl’s guidance she brought out the gentleman in him that no other pro would be able. Cheryl’s track record with all her pairings are the best in bringing out the best attitude behavior in all of them. And Cheryl had some of the well know reputation of “bad” and “ego maniac” partners before dwts.
I freely admit I’m a MacManiac who leaves offerings at the shrine of “teh turd step”. 😛 However, I can see why some people find William incredibly handsome. I happen to think he’s a really nice guy, and that’s why I like him (although I don’t vote for him). The way he’s been whored around by Cheryl and TPTB disgusts me. It’s unnecessary and demeaning and makes a mockery of the hard work he’s put in to be the best dancer he can be. I hope his appearance on DWTS brings him a lot of crossover success in the US mainstream market.
if only Jaleel/Roshon was partnered with cheryl, either one of them could still be in dance floor..,for Cheryl knows how to bring out the sexiness of her partner w/o being superficial..Now William with kym? He could have been eliminated already, why, both of them don’t have solid fan base here in US, sorry but that’s the REALITY. Cheryl could bring her partner farther to the competition sexy or not.., like Rob K,, I never saw him taking off his shirt in the dance floor, he didn’t have a body to show of anyhow,.and so boyish and shy, 24 yrs old? come on.. that’s why they were in jeopardy how many times, but Cheryl made him sexy as shown first in Rumba and became a Contender etc,afterwards..The producer of dwts and manager of William knew this so they chose Cheryl… Karina won last season not because of her fans but because JR is a hero…, and heart of US is with the hero. But if he isn’t Rob got the MBT..So William with Cheryl is a smart idea. I got nothing against Kym and Karina, they are both friends of cheryl..So don’t underestimate cheryl. She will not have fan base without reason…
Cheryl built up Rob’s confidence admirably……. & Cheryl is influencing William the same confidence build-up……. Cheryl is whoring William? Please fill me in, because I did not see any of that in their rehearsals or any whoring in any of their dances apart from their rumba. All of their dances were carried out classy and appropriately.
“Now she has an attitude like she is better than thou.” Vogue, hmmm, am really surprised about this as I haven’t noticed that. Cheryl can be sometimes blunt but she’s not the only one. I think there are reasons why certain behaviors surface. Karina can be sassy … even the sweet Chelsie can be hard on her partner … We don’t know the ‘whys’ so I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt. Look, Derek admitted to acting like a jerk in rehearsals and he apologized. These dancers are human beings like us … they have their moments. Sometimes, frustrations make us look worse than we really are … Anyway, I am glad that this site is trying its best to be fair to all dwts contestants by sharing wonderful info such as this piece you wrote on. I enjoy reading all sorts of information about the contestants ….
The past few seasons (with the exception of Rob) Cheryl’s choreography has been lackluster at best. I think she is in a desperate situation to win that MBT, and is pulling out all stops to get it. Her professionalism has been in question, from her accepting a diamond ring from a contestant to the blatant pimping and disrespect of this years contestant, both of which I find disrespectful as a viewer. At this point I would recommend that she take a much needed vacay and then return which a fresh new outlook on her choices as a mentor/professional dancer.
Melissa and Civy, have you seen the interviews with Cheryl and William? William has always been humble. Even when Cheryl pushes the sex thing, taking off his shirt, etc., he gets shy and tries to get her to not talk about it. I think he’s been humble and classy way before Cheryl. In fact, we had a poster from where he lives post for what a gentleman and how humble he is, etc. Cheryl did not teach him that. He already was like that before the show (in my opinion) and she keeps trying to change him. That’s why so many of us are aggrivated with her and the producers. We don’t need the sex push and he doesn’t want it.
I actually liked Cheryl up until this season. This season?? Too much ego, too little reliance on dancing – and he ain’t that good. He’ll never be as good as Katherine or Donald although I think he’s not as chilly as Katherine.
Melissa, you aren’t SERIOUSLY giving Cheryl credit for William being humble and knowing how to carry himself?? He’s a grown ass man and he seemed like he was the mature, humble one in their partnership from the very beginning. I keep hoping he’ll rub off on her. Rob? I think the whole experience had an impact on Rob, but I will give Cheryl some of the credit for that. But since then I think she’s been spending too much time with his family.
The producers got aggravated with Cheryl for pushing the sex thing? I wonder what they thought of Derek’s move showing him on top of Maria (Rumba) and pretending to kiss her (though it looked like he was chewing her chin, lol). What was that all about? BTW, it’s kind of a stretch to say that Cheryl’s trying to change him. Surely, if one has seen the promo clips of VH1-Single Ladies, one would see that William is not ready to give up that sex symbol image. The moment William gives up that ‘sexy image’ in his DWTS performances, things will change and all these ‘William craze’ will die down. The Dereks … Vals … Maks… Marks and the Kyms and Karinas know what a powerful dope ‘sex’ is thus ‘shirtless’ has become quite a regular thing in DWTS. Len even chided Derek for it commenting he didn’t particularly like his body (LOL). Why is it OK for these people to use ‘sex’ to promote their strut … and not classy for Cheryl even though she is paired with one of the sex symbols of our time? I have become a huge William fan but, I think, we have to put things in perspective – to denounce Cheryl for her so called pimping of William’s sexiness while blatantly disregarding the misbehavior of other DWTS dancers is unfair. Why do the Dereks, Marks, Maks, Vals … enjoy dancing shirtless? Hmmmm, the answer is obvious! Is Derek’s kissing Maria not an example of pimping ‘sex’. I am not as young as many of the posters here … so perhaps, I don’t understand ‘what is and what is not’ in proper or appropriate behavior these days. Back in the day, what these dancers are doing now are frowned upon … Anyway, just expressing my surprise at how things are defined and viewed these days. Differential treatment seems to be the ‘code’ of the day to explain our interesting views. I understand why we sometimes hate or not like someone; it is a very personal experience one that is often not easily explained. I sometimes dislike someone even though I do not know that person personally. It has nothing to do with that person being bad as it has nothing to do with us being bad. We sometimes just don’t like something … and it is what it is. We don’t have to justify it. It is just kind of sad that we feel the need to justify it …. 2 cents from an oldie, wink!
I actually feel bad for William he never had a chance to show the viewers who he really is…
The Foxtrot_ his highest scored performance_ showed the classy and romantic side of him. So did his Viennese Waltz and Quickstep. Surprisingly, while he appreciated the scores, he did not seem to enjoy these dances because of the rules that he had to observe for these dances. Now, I wonder what is it about him that he has not had the chance to show? You know the ones that “show the viewers who he really is…”? I’m scratching my head here. These 3 ballroom dances were all very tasteful … classy and very positive. BTW, most of us are critical of Cheryl pimping William’s sexy side _ he didn’t want to dance shirtless but did he not pull his shirt open or remove it when he did that Cha cha cha marathon? Cheryl said he did it on his own and was surprised about i. He also did it a bit too early – before the others did so… Again, the outrage about Cheryl’s exploiting his sexiness is a bit amusing. I am learning a lot from all these …. Jeez, I am totally out of step with what is right in DWTS or in the entertainment world.
William could tell CHeryl to chill w the “sexy” bs too. He must really want to win to put up with that stuff.
At least with Kym, those 10s he’s been getting would probably be a little more deserving. I don’t think Kym is one to sell sex. She keeps it clean and to the point.
By the way, THEY ALL WANT TO WIN!!! Tristan is not particularly interested in showing off his chest because he _ like the hairy-chest Jonathan Roberts_ not interested in shaving off their chest hair, LOL. Jonathan did it at Heather’s request and he did not enjoy doing it. Kym Johnson got Jaleel to show off his 6-pack, 😉 I wonder why? I love Derek (I think he used to be LDS like me) but he seems to enjoy dancing shirtless. Hmmm, and his boyhood friend Mark enjoys doing that, too? They don’t get criticized for dancing shirtless or doing things with sexual overtones. In his AT rehearsal with Katherine, Mark donned a ‘scrotch support’ (sorry I don’t know the name of that brief) to supposedly protect his naughty bit, LOL. And he proudly showed it to the viewers … I’m enjoying these dancers’ antics …. This new generation is fun … I don’t know if I wanted these antics back then … but this has been very entertaining and liberating. I wish we will all just ‘chill’ … Relax and enjoy the ride. I love William but, frankly, he’s not what I would wish for the girls in my family. I love Juliane Hough – I am not comfortable with her choices …. I love Cheryl but she’s not my role model. The one dancer that I really have great respect for is Ashley del Grosso Costa; she’s no longer part of the DWTS.
Well we can all agree to disagree thats the beauty of this site. 🙂 But I have grown weary of William and Cheryl on this show and I have moved on, just like I am in this conversation. But Cheryl has not earned that MBT this season and I stand by that decision of mine. 100%.
I am fully behind Donald and Peta FTW. Woohoo!
“Kym is one to sell sex” … Hmmm, I wonder why she asked Jaleel to expose his 6-pack in their cha cha cha routine. What was that for? BTW, Jaleel may have the socalled 6-pack but he IS NOT NATURALLY SEXY … at least to this oldie, 😉 To say that Kym is not interested in pimping sex is to blatantly ignore the ‘concept’ behind unveiling Jaleel’s chest. She couldn’t do that with Donny Osmond 🙂 … certainly not with Mark Cuban … maybe not with Joey who was at that time a bit on the heavy side … I don’t remember her work with Hines but the guy is not the sex-symbol type that William is so it is pointless to go that direction. I think I have too much time on my hand … but i must admit i enjoy posting my not-so-popular views here. Love this site … Always have new things to share … and the posters are fearless ….
Ops, sorry Tony, I meant to write “Kym [not] … one to sell sex” … Yes, it is time to move on …
bebingc, you are creating a whole lot of false equivalencies – No one on the show that I can recall has been behaving like Cheryl has been. I’ve yet to see Derek ripping open Maria’s shirt on Extra or ET or constantly talking about how sexy she is to reporters and in the confessional. We’re not just talking about dancing here. Trying to equate what Maks, Derek, Mark and others do on the dance floor with what Cheryl has been doing off it is wrong – you’re grasping at straws and you’re going to convince exactly no one. Maks, Mark, Derek and the rest are actually trying to teach their partners to dance – for the first few weeks of the show, I don’t believe that Cheryl was doing that – she was too focused on the sexy. All the things the rest have done during dances has been minor and fleeting and limited to the dance floor. If you look at their interviews, they actually have a lot more to talk about than how sexy and hot their partners are – and they also don’t hit on the female journalists while their partner stands there looking like a lump – which Cheryl has done twice now. If you want to see, watch their ET interviews.
I also have no clue what you’re talking about with the producers. I also suggest you calm the hell down. I’ve been away for an hour or so and you’ve written three rather large and difficult to read paragraphs on the subject. You’re trying too hard and verging on spam.
Sandy – I agree. I feel bad for William too. I think Cheryl and the producers started down a road he might not have chosen for himself. Now a lot of people are pissed off at the pimping and just don’t care.
Vin – that’s just it. William did say on more than one occasion that he wanted it to be about the dancing. Even he can see that it’s NOT at times.
bebingc, if you continue to completely miss the point (or ignore what everyone has been saying for weeks) I’m pretty sure everyone will just start to ignore you. I might start deleting you for spam.
We’ve all have witnessed William’s reactions (when attempts have been made to open his shirt) and heard in his own words that he wants to learn to dance well, do his best and perform and compete with peers, and be known for that. Perhaps his roles in other areas has been a sex symbol but that was not his goal or choice on DWTS. It would be great to see how he’d have grown and performed with Kym or Karina, but we can only speculate. I’ve been upset for a while about how he’s suffered and been penalized because of his partner’s actions which is not fair, because he’s obviously a very good person with a beautiful heart that’s loved by everyone in the DWTS family. It’s my hopes that he’ll continue to improve and prove himself and I’m glad he’s still around so he has that chance. I’d say that if the MBT went to the “most” improved, and that alone, Maria and William would be the front runners.
Oops. I forgot, Thank You Vogue, for another wonderful share and post about our beautiful Willy. Yeah, I’m pathetic too! LOL So great to see my other Latino heartthrob Ricky Martin featured in the video as well. Entonces Caliente
I’m not trying to convince anyone. It’s the double standards that I’m seeing. We all are speculating what these pros would have done if they have William. If William was presented as he hoped, would he still be here? He is not the only hot contestant in the show _ Cristian is actually hotter but he was not presented like William because his ‘past’ and his ‘image’ were so different from William’s. By the way, haven’t we read enough about how his fans revel on his sexiness? Beautiful Willy is a paradox… I hope Cheryl will give him what he wants and see where that will take him. His QS received lukewarm reviews … but his fans loved his Rumba despite the negative comments.
You’re creating a double standard by equating things that aren’t equal and mis-representing (or leaving out) what others have been saying all along. Not to mention putting up straw men. It’s next to impossible to have a discussion when one of the participants completely ignores large chunks of what other people have to say on the subject.
Just here showing some support for William. He has all my votes.
BTW, also love Katherine and Donald.
Just curious…does anyone else think William’s stubble looks grey? Or is that just me?
Oh man…I had no idea that my ‘grievance’ would cause this fireback!! And some things I read…oh boy!! I just wanna post cause I feel like all these started because of my comment and I hope that it will also end with this…
@bebingc
I don’t think that Cheryl brings out the best of William. I’ve seen her in previous seasons with ‘sexy’ partners, but this time she’s waaaaay over the top! At least the previous times, she seemed to care more about the dancing. But this time, she is not like that! She is only treating William like he is a piece of meat. I’ve never thought I would feel like this for someone in my life, but when I see her the only feeling I get is disgust!!!
I’ve been watching all their journey since the beginning and sometimes I didn’t even have words to describe her behavor! A behavor which brought William in a very difficult and uncomfortable possition lots of times, especially in the interviews!!! God…I still can’t forget him saying: “I think I am gonna leave you two alone” when he was been “interviewed” by a female journalist who was doing anything else than her job!! And how many times he said that he is here to DANCE and not to show off himself!
—-> “…Cheryl’s work shows her pragmatic approach to choreography _ she’s creating each dance based on her star’s skills, potentials, level … personality …”
So you are telling me that William’s skills and personality is only how sexy he is??? Cause that’s the only thing she tries to pull out!! Excuse me but NO!!! This is so insulting! William as a human being is much more than that!!! He has a great personality, a huge heart and he is a good dancer!!! THAT what she should based her choreography on first and then the sexiness!!!
And as for your question: “If William was presented as he hoped, would he still be here?” my answer is yes! I think he would. He is not just a pretty face and he has an amazing background story! And yes…I can PERFECTLY imagine him with Kym. Actually, in a previous post I made few weeks ago, I was wishing Kym had William as a partner and Cheryl had Jaleel!!! Kym is sooo professional and SHE would take the best out of him. Dancing would be always first!! And please stop saying that other pros are seeling the sexy too, cause NOONE is doing what Cheryl is doing!! It’s so much different!
As for the dancing rules…who likes to dance with rules??? Noone likes that!!! But when you are in a COMPETITION, like it or not you have to follow the rules because you will be judged! Even the pros when they are performing in the results show they totally break the rules! And of course William doesn’t like it dancing with rules! Just because he is the only one we saw saying it a couple of times, that doesn’t mean he is the only one!
Anyway…I could continue but this post is already too long and I don’t want to tired anyone (if I haven’t done it already). And I think that it would be pointless since, honestly, by reading your comments I really felt like we are watching different shows! It would be good not to let ourselves talk with hormones (like the judges do, at least two of them) and see some things more clear.
And by saying all these, I don’t mean that I don’t like William cause I love him!! He is truly an amazing person, but it’s so shame that he had to paired with Cheryl…just my opinion
And like I said in my first comment, if he wins I’ll be happy for HIM, but Cheryl sure doesn’t deserve that MBT!
@Melissa
—> “….William is very humble, because Cheryl taught him how to carry himself well….”
OMG Melissa!!! Did I just read that??? Are you serious!? William WAS humble since the beginning!! And he sure was humble way before this show!!! Cheryl didn’t ‘taught’ him how to be humble!!! Jesus!!
And PLEASE!! Don’t compare William to Rob!! They have NOTHING in common!!
@Sandy
THAT!!! —> “….I actually feel bad for William he never had a chance to show the viewers who he really is…”
bebingc: I recall Jaleel being completely clothed for their Cha-Cha-Cha. I think you’re referring to his Samba. She tried to show off his abs in a confessional (and maybe in the routine, I’d have to watch it again). But that was the only time. So, I disagree with you. Kym is NOT one to sell sex. PH has made it very clear that we should stop wasting our time and energy debating with you. So that’s all I’ll say.
Re Kym and selling sex: Nice as she is, I always have a funny feeling about her because the first time I watched DWTS was when she was paired with David Hasselhoff. The first impression she made on me was that of a porn star–too sexily dressed, over-procedured face, dancing around him like he was a stripper’s pole. I feel bad saying that because I’ve since come to see how sweet she is, but I can’t agree that she isn’t one to sell sex.
Lenka…..the show show can “sell sex” from the costumes, to the dancers, to Bruno LoL!!!. What do you want to watch? Beautiful, sexy, talented dancers, or frumpy, frock wearing, talented dancers 🙂
For me, the issue is the degree to which Cheryl is selling sex this season. I think she’s doing it to the exclusion of everything else, or at least she was until this past week. For me, there’s a difference between dancing around your partner seductively (all the female pros do that), and trying to rip your partner’s shirt off every time you get the chance – on the dance floor, during the comments with Brooke after the dance, in the confessional, during the after-show interviews… I got to the point where I didn’t even want to watch the Cheryl/William interviews, because I knew it was going to be Cheryl squealing “He’s HOT!”. 🙁
As to the comparison between Cheryl and Kym, I don’t think what Kym did is anywhere near Cheryl’s behavior. I think exposing Jaleel’s six-pack was a *response* to the William pimping; it was an attempt to say “Hey, he’s sexy too!” (really, really creepy, but sexy. Maybe “creepy-sexy”? 😉 ). At least for me, it’s not even in the same league. And as for dancing around Hasselhoff, well… when your partner is an “older guy”, and he’s too busy hitting on you to actually practice any dancing, then I guess you do what you can to try to get him through to the next round. 😉
@Lenka – A “porn star”… Wow!
Kym just oozes class and sophistication and has way too much class to even begin to travel the road that Cheryl chose too this season. Kym doesn’t need too, she can take her partner on a journey that is professional and fun and even throw in a bit of sexy. on. I think comparing the two is an insult to Kym.
I think Derek, Karina, Kym, and now Miss Peta are probably the best choreographers on the show.
Word Sally – keep trying to get that point across but the William/Cheryl fans continue to conveniently ignore it.
Lenka: What everyone said above. Plus, when you’re song is “Sex Bomb?” She wasn’t selling David’s sexiness, she was playing up her own. What Cheryl has been doing ALL SEASON doesn’t even compare to what Kym did with ONE dance.
My comment was merely to give my opinion on as to whether Kym sells sex, since that happend to be my first impression of her.
Cheryl is one of my least favorite pros, but I’m not inclined to get angry at her for the way William Levy’s storyline started. He was an unknown (to DWTS’s main audience) underwear model and soap opera heartthrob and he was “sold” as such. I didn’t and don’t care for it either, and I also don’t like when any of the men start looking like Chippendales dancers.
