"Dance is the hidden language of the soul" ~ Martha Graham. That's what DWTS makes me think of every Monday night. To read more about me and my other interests, see Lisa Kay Photography. You can also follow me at Voguerista Twitter & Voguerista Soundcloud.
I feel like I’ve seen this one before on their facebook page. Are they just trying to hype the show LOL?
I wish they would post the in studio team performance which we never got to see.
They ran this during one of the shows last season. I remember Erin dancing with that large curler on the top of her head like Pebbles Flintstone.
Yeah, this isn’t “new”…but it is entertaining. 🙂
Yes, PHeidi, it’s entertaining, and I enjoyed watching it. Sorta like watching the “bloopers” part of a show. I’m so anxious for Sept. 15th.
If Julianne Hough is a judge this season, I think I’ll pass. She was horrible as a judge, so mean to Maks and Mark. I thought her harsh criticism of them was completely unnecessary and made more people not like her. The only judge worse than her was Abby Lee Miller. Maks should have been the 4th judge – or Derek, even Louis. Julianne holds grudges and seems to be out for blood. I’m always torn between watching The Voice and sticking with DWTS (as I have since Season 1), but this year that choice will be easier.
Oh noes!! Julianne was so MEAN!! Boo Hoo. I don’t think you’ll constantly hear her compare a contestant (unfavorably) to animals like Bruno, or ACTUALLY be mean like Len. Or judge with her vajayjay like CAI. And if she is? So what – the show ain’t about her.
Julianne holds grudges and seems to be out for blood? What show were you watching? Maks fans are so hysterical. 🙂
The way I see it is Maks can’t be trusted with the kind of reputation he’s built for himself. And it’s so true for what Heidi keeps pointing out. All of the judges have been unfairly critical at times and every season. So, if Julianne makes a call you/we don’t agree with at times, so what? I don’t expect any judge to agree with what I and anyone thinks. How boring if that were the case.
I’m still hopeing they will have Maks as a replacement for the weeks Len will be away. Julianne and Maks on the same panel,. especially after this little ‘mix up’ WILL be TV Gold!!!!
I am not a Maks fan, never have been, but Julianne needs to leave her personal issues with people out of the competition. She is there to judge the dancing only.
What makes YOU so sure she was judging with “personal issues” at the forefront? I’m not so sure – particularly since I agreed with what she said. Much more than I agreed with Bruno every time he likened Chaz Bono to a wookie or whatever.
And if you REALLY believe that Maks would be MORE fair than Julianne – with two brothers and two close ex-girlfriends on the show – then you are straight up cray.
That is the way it came across to me, and I didn’t like or enjoy her. I happen to agree that the other judges say awful things, too, sometimes, and I never like that. I am in favor of them bringing on people who are less harsh. I’m not sure what kind of judge Maks would be, but so far I have seen no evidence that he would be less fair than Julianne. I don’t think having a different opinion makes someone crazy. We are all entitled to our opinion.
I didn’t ask if you thought he’d be LESS fair….I asked if you thought he’d be MORE fair. Big difference. Huge. And yes, I think you would be cray if you thought MORE.
You’re entitled to your opinion…and I’m entitled to MINE. That is so hard for some people, for some reason…
I see no reason to think he would be less fair or more fair. That remains to be seen. I have seen Julianne make harsh statements that seemed personal. To be honest, I have not liked a lot of Maks’ behavior over the past seasons, but I do think he came back the last couple of seasons with a new outlook. Maks seems, to me, to be growing and evolving some. Julianne is still young and seems to be angry and hurting. I have a lot of empathy for her in that regard. I just don’t think she should be judging. Having said that, I fully accept your opinion. That’s why I haven’t called you crazy for having it.
Also, Maks would not be my first choice for a 45th judge or even in my top 5. I prefer him to Julianne, but I’d really love to see Derek as a judge.
Julianne “angry and hurting”? Based on TWO comments that reflect what nearly everyone on this site has been saying for YEARS?? Two comments out of the several dozen that were great?? Ummmm….oookay. :::backs away slowly:::
No, based on interviews where she talks about having suffered abuse in her childhood while living with the Ballas family. Those are things I feel need to be resolved but not on Dancing With The Stars. You know, you are attacked my opinion after every comment I’ve made. I have been doing nothing but trying to answer your questions honestly. I see, however, I am dealing with a very immature person. I had no idea your site was so biased, but tell you what… Have the final word. You obviously need to. I am unsubscribing to your site and FB page. Enjoy your world of people who agree with you.
I don’t always agree with PH and I still come around very frequently, I actually like having disagreements with her because it’s good for my brain to have to think extremely logically, and to take care with my words, and to have a thick skin if I want to have a discussion. It’s their (the moderators) house, and I think I should treat a discussion like it’s one with my father in law at his house sort of thing.
I don’t think making Julianne a judge was a good idea. Maybe the lesser not good of 2 not good choices but why make the choice at all. Leave it at 3. Or if they’re trying to “ease into a Len retirement situation”, I can think of a lot of people who aren’t related to or having in the past dated a competing pro. I also am on record from the 2 seasons she was a guest judge of not appreciating her approach that to me seemed too personal, and perhaps opportunistic. I believe she hurt Mark’s feelings and there are way more respectful ways to make a point to someone who’s supposedly your friend, “you know I love you”. Also, to me, she adds way too much fuel to that out of control ugly fire of people who act as if Derek is the devil himself. I think her presence is a negative thing for Derek. And I think Mak’s presence would have been a huge negative for Val.
As far as comparing her to the other 3 judges, “it’s OK because they are sometimes/often? horrible”, she only had to get through a few couples once on 2 different seasons, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that she could refrain from being mean for that amount of time. To me it came off as being mean.
But obviously, in trying to keep the ratings up, the producers think there’s something good to be gained. And I love this show and want it to continue and if this helps it then I’m happy. And I’ll be thrilled to also revise my initial opinion about them adding her.
I think I’m the one dealing with an immature person, Diane. You’re the one stomping out of the room when someone doesn’t agree with you in the slightest, and you’re also the one who is trying to turn something that happened to Julianne into a character assassination. Blame the victim, as it were. So, go out into the world to find people who won’t challenge your worldview.
Jess, I like arguing too – and for the same reasons. It’s good for your brain. I often find myself arguing positions that aren’t really my own simply because the other side was too illogical and too extreme.
For example, saying Julianne was “angry and hurting” because of her comments to Mark and Maks. Do I think her comments were “mean”?? Well, not mean, but perhaps impolitic. Could she have phrased them better – probably. Was she wrong? NO. Not at all. And she is indeed far LESS mean than the other judges have been (and will likely continue to be). I think that if she were ANYONE other than Julianne HOUGH saying the things she said, no one would have blinked an eye. If CAI had said it, some would have said “bitch” and moved on. But because it’s Julianne – formerly “one of them” – she’s suddenly the anti-christ. And let’s get real – a big part of the brouhaha is because she’s not Maks.
And really, to get even more serious – all these discussions are EXACTLY why she got the job. She can cause controversy without saying all the negative things about the show that Maks has said in the past.
Diane, you said you were leaving. I accepted your decision. That is not an invitation to continue to beat the horse. Stay and move on to a new discussion, or leave and don’t. It’s completely up to you.
Love it when we get to see some of the less formal behind the scene stuff. I wish they’d show more of that than the “staged” stuff. I’d like to see more Pro dances with ALL the pros and not just the same select few. I miss the just for fun group dances as well.
The biggest thing I have found people are forgetting is that you should be watching the show to see amazing dancing taking place and not be watching it for who is sitting behind the Judging table! If you are only watching because of who is at that table it would be like watching a game of football but looking at the crowd and not the field! Watch it for the dance, enjoy it for the amazing access you are being given to a first class display of the creative and performing arts! Leave your judgmental BS at the door! I am so over hearing people say that they will stop watching because Julianne is going to be a judge, if that’s the case you mustn’t be a true fan of DANCE or the show, after all DANCE is what the show is about!
Jane, I watch for the DANCING too! I love the judges (even if I disagree sometimes and have to complain)….but, I’ve always been here for the dancing and no matter what happens on this show or who I like and don’t like. I love the journey part of it all too and I’m looking forward to how Julianne will add to that.
I know exactly how you feel! People are getting so caught up in who their favourite current/former pro is and are forgetting what the show is really about! Have your Favs, Love your favs but don’t be rude and disrespectful to other fans and the PROFESSIONAL DANCERS and JUDGES because your favourite wasn’t picked to fill and ROLE on the show this season! On another note I would really LOVE to see Shirley Ballas as a Judge on the show, she has the title of “The Queen of Latin” for a reason… she knows her stuff!
Can’t wait for the cast announcement and the show to start back!
