America’s Choice: You Decide Song And Style Of Dance On DWTS
We’re putting it all in your hands, America! You vote to pick the songs, choose the dances and decide the music. It’s your turn to make an unforgettable night of Dancing with the Stars! ~Official Dancing With The Stars site
Hey Dancing With The Stars Fans: Go to the official site as they are asking fans to choose the song and style of dance you want to see for the couples. You can vote HERE!!
After you vote, let us know what you picked in comments.
Went into this app and all it gives for choices are the couples and then it says “Dance 7” and “Dance 8” for Dance Style and “Song 7” and “Song 8” for song. What does that mean? Anyone have any knowledge of this?
Addendum: It gives different numbers for different couples but does not tell you what each number represents. For example the above choices were for Janel but when you click Tommy and Peta it says Dance 17 and 18 or Song 17 and 18. Still no help.
I don’t get how it works either. Strange.
I’m a little confused on the voting. After I select the couple it gives me dance style and gives me a choice of two numbers, same for the song. Is there some master list that the styles and song list?
I thought the show on the 27th was supposed to be a Halloween theme. Wasn’t there an ABC press release that indicated some shows would have that theme?
If we were allowed to choose any song, they would still need to get clearance. That is their out card to do again just what they want to do with the songs. The public’s choice can’t be worse than what the music dept. is doing now.
I was wondering the same thing @Ammie. I am so confused about. Why don’t they give you a list of styles and songs? What good is picking a number if we don’t know what the number represents? Come on TPTB we need a little enlightening here.
Methinks this is another instance where they released the info before they were really ready…
Looks like it is not ready for us to vote.
So for some reason, it only gives me options like dance and a number and a song and a number. So given that, I voted this way:
Tommy and Peta: dance 17 and song 17
Sadie and mark: dance 15 and song 15
Michael and emma: dance 13 and song 13
lea and Artem: dance 12 and song 12
Jonathan AND Allison: dance 10 and song 9
janel and val” dance 8 and song 8
Bethanty and Derek: dance 6 song five
Antonio and Cheryl: song four dance 4
Alfonso and Witney: song 1 dance 2
Hope I voted ok for this one given the not knowing fact of it all.
This is bullsh*t, I thought we would actually be able to you know, choose the damn dance style and song. Whats the point in voting when we don’t even get to see what we vote. I’m pretty sure rehearsals already started, they all already know what they’re going to dance to and what style.
Hold it: Only my first vote went through. Screw this. let the chips fall where they may.
THIS STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I right in thinking that if you DON’T click “tweet your pick” for each couple, that your votes aren’t completely cast, and they don’t count?
I would LOVE to see a “vote without having to tweet this stupid thing” button, but there’s not.
I am wondering if you click the tweet button, if your choices will have an actual dance style and song, or just numbers? (not curious enough to actually click that button though)
This is worse than the FB vote app thing that I works well but is too simple. There has to be a happy medium TPTB! Just make voting available on FB and call it a day because at least that works.
@Meg – As Vogue has probably already posted (on my phone, so I can’t really see), the site doesn’t appear to be fully live yet – so they probably haven’t even loaded the options in yet. And your voting for the dances they’re doing the week of the 27th…which is TWO weeks away, so NO, they HAVEN’T started rehearsing yet.
Everybody just BREEEEEEAAAAATTTTHHHHEEEE.
@Courtney – oh I thought it was for next week, my bad. Ok I’m curious what options we’ll have now 🙂
Since they haven’t posted the choices yet, might not be a bad idea to tweet @DancingABC and make some suggestions for songs/styles. I’ve already suggested they do “Sunglasses at Night”, so if you just wanted to RT that…;-)
That explains it. They really like making things difficult
Well if I had a twitter and if it actually worked out the way I imagined it to be these would be my choices:
Alfonso and Witney: Paso Doble to “Sunglasses at Night” a la Court, I feel that Alfonso’s cool demeanor would totally fit the mood
Sadie and Mark: Quickstep to “If You Want it (Go Get It)” I gotta say after her viennese waltz I really want to see Sadie do another ballroom dance
Antonio and Cheryl: Jive to “Rock Around the Clock” I like the song but I wouldn’t be surprised if he left this upcoming week
Beth and Derek: Cha-cha “Bom Bom” by Sam and the Womp
Tommy and Peta: Viennese Waltz “Bowl for Two” and it would be interesting to see if they could prop out one performance with ACTUAL marijuana related props (liked Peta’s dress so far as a prop)
Jonathan and Allison: Contemporary “Monster Mash” Definately see 10’s in his future if he can do contemporary and jazz… and NOT because of Allison, yeah she is awesome at dancing, not just these two specific dances, but all in all I feel that Jonathan would seem better suited in a dance that requires a lot of character/story/stylistic choices
Janel and Val: Contemporary “Poker Face” and lets dress Val like a dog.
Michael and Emma: Argentine Tango or Paso Doble “Roxanne” the Police version. We’ve seen Michael having fun and enjoying himself, but I want to see if he could possibly get higher scores with either of these dramatic dances. I see so much potential for amazing performances with these two it would be ashame if they left Monday night
Lea and Artem: Jazz “Hey Pachuco” Maybe I have a small part of me that wants to see Lea in Cameron Diaz’s sparkly number from the Mask
So I thibk boom clap by Charlie xcx would be good for a contemporary or a jazz
Not working for at all ! getting the “thanks for voting” on the SU …
Again this might be for US only 🙁
I got all excited there for a moment to do this but it wasn’t the way I hoped. Or well, at least not yet, anyways. It does seem like they just released this without it being fully ready so I guess I’ll give it some days and see what’s up.
Couple weeks ago they did the something similar for DWTS Australia where each couple was given three songs (without the dance style revealed) and the public just chose which song of the three the couple will dance to two weeks after. That worked very well for them and even I was able to vote, which was fun! 😀
Hopefully DWTS makes this as easy and as fun as it was in Australia.
I already have a little list of what I would want…
Bethany & Derek: Quickstep to “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men
Janel & Val: Paso Doble to “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga
Michael & Emma: Argentine Tango to “Assassin’s Tango”
Jonathan & Allison: Contemporary to “For the First Time” by The Script
Sadie & Mark: Jive to “Dear Future Husband” by Meghan Trainor
Tommy & Peta: Waltz to “You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban
Lea & Artem: Viennese Waltz to “Delilah” by Tom Jones
Antonio & Cheryl: Argentine Tango to “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson
Alfonso & Witney: Foxtrot to “Fever” by Peggy Lee
I would assume each couple will be given a dance style that they haven’t done as of yet. So maybe limited and different choices for each couple?
Or will this be another week of songs and dances that don’t go together? Gawd, I hope not.
I wonder if there will actually be choices like paso, Viennese waltz, and Argentine tango or if we’ll be stuck with jazz, contemporary, and two-step for our choices.
Any why should we think that they will actually count our votes and opinions? They probably will say the songs couldn’t get cleared LOL.
You know, I hope I am wrong about this, but it just occurred to me, since this whole thing is obviously being created on the fly, that there could be a good possibility that TPTB tell the couples to prepare both dances, and they’ll find out on show day which one they’re performing.
Afterall, this Monday will be week 6. They’ll be in week 7 when this hits, and it could be a good way, in “their” eyes, to prepare the celebrities for dancing 2 dances.
You know, Lori, you just might be on to something. Only, if they learn 2 dances for week 7, won’t they have to perform both dances since they would have learned them. Or, maybe they would be one ahead for week 8 then.
I guess the question now becomes, going with what Lori said, when the Team Dances will show up then. If they show up at all this season, that is.
Traditionally, they’ve been around week 7 in a 10 week season. So it would really be 3 dances, if the team dances are also on week 7.
But then again, I have no idea if this is going to be a 10 or 11 week season, so the team dances could be on week 8 if it’s 11.
How do we know what the dance is and what the song is I only get numbers.
I would love to see a rumba to “Stay with Me” by Danity Kane (sp?). I would also like to see more Carrie Underwood music in dances as well as Kelly Clarkson. I would also love to see the trios back this year. Any word on whether or not that will happen?
ONE MORE TIME…
…the voting site DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE LIVE YET. They are most likely going to load the songs and dances LATER. BE PATIENT. Bookmark the site. Check back to see if it’s been updated.
As of today the voting is Still not up. Aren’t we supposed to be picking for Monday??? It still has dance 1 and song 1 etc.
Just tried the app. It’s up now (sort of). You can pick actual dance styles/songs for everyone except Sadie and Tommy. Theirs still have numbers listed. And they still have Jonathan and Allison in there so I don’t know what week this is for but they said they are calling it “America’s Choice Week”. Just thought I would give everyone a head’s up that it’s sort of working now.
Ok it’s fully up now. Here’s my choices:
1. Alfonso and Witney to do a Foxtrot dance to Am I Wrong
2. Antonio and Cheryl to do a Quickstep dance to Burn
3. Bethany and Derek to do a Viennese Waltz dance to Say You Love Me
4. Janel and Valentin to do a Cha Cha dance to I Need Your Love
5. Lea and Artem to do a Samba dance to Animals
6. Michael and Emma to do a Tango dance to Oh, Pretty Woman
7. Sadie and Mark to do a Foxtrot dance to Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
8. Tommy and Peta to do a Tango dance to Danger! High Voltage
I didn’t even bother to pick a choice for Jonathan because well what’s the point. Still don’t know what week this is for though.
Didn’t Derek say they had Paso Doble? On the site you can only pick either quickstep or Viennese Waltz. What gives?
Susan, I’m wondering if this isn’t for the Nov. 3rd show? Not sure?
Yeah, I think it’s for Nov. 3. Because the stars have already started rehearsing for this coming week, IE Beth and Derek with their paso.
Thanks. That makes sense.
I like the idea of ‘Sunglasses At Nigh’ as a Paso, so I will put in a vote for that… no idea yet for other songs/dances yet. Thanks for the info.
My choices were:
Alfonso & Witney: Argentine Tango to “Fur Elise” (I just want to see this guy do an Arg. Tango)
Antonio & Cheryl: Quickstep to “Best Day of My Life” (love that song)
Bethany & Derek: Viennese Waltz to “Til Death Do Us Part” (heard the song and it wad beautiful)
Janel & Val: Quickstep to “Riptide”
Lea & Artem: Viennese Waltz to “This Year’s Love” (I ADORE this song)
Michael & Emma: Tango to “For Your Entertainment” (the song title could not suit him more)
Sadie & Mark: Foxtrot to “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” (I bet it’ll be super cute)
Tommy & Peta: Viennese Waltz to “Trouble” (LOVE this song)
If I get to see Lea & Artem do a Viennese Waltz to This Year Love (literally one of my favourite songs ever) then no matter what happens from then on in, this series is complete for me. Just hope she doesn’t go home next week! I basically picked the same choices as CC.
I like this idea, hopefully they stick to it.
My choices would be:
Alfonso & Witney: Argentine Tango – Let It Be by Labrinth
Antonio & Cheryl: Paso Doble – Love Runs Out by OneRepublic
Bethany & Derek: Viennesse Waltz – Say You Love Me by Jessie Ware
Janel & Val: Quickstep – Riptide by Vance Joy
Lea & Artem: Samba – Animals by Maroon 5
Michael & Emma: Tango – Oh, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison
Sadie & Mark: Foxtrot – Anything Goes by Tony Bennett
Tommy & Peta: Tango – Bad Things by Jace Everett
So, now the link is gone. Not sure what’s up again?
Oh, I know! I’m going to go for the Robin William’s movie Popeye “I Am What I Am’ song for Sadie/Mark! LOL Just teasing, since the page seems to be down. Oh, well.
There was no date indicated on the page so it’s very possible they put it too early once again or just decided to test for later… I wonder if the votes already in will count or not for the results.
The link still not up.
Susan, it probably won’t be back up until next week after Monday night’s show.
Thank you!
If I remember what I voted for correctly when the link is life, then this is what I voted for:
Beth & Derek – Quickstep to “Booty Swing”
Janel & Val – Cha-Cha to “Ugly Heart” (though the website had it as “Ugly head”
Sadie & Mark – Jive to “Kaboom Pow”
Alfonso & Witney – Foxtrot to the Robbie Williams option (Ain’t That a Kick in the Head I think???)
Lea & Artem – Viennese Waltz to “It’s a Man’s, Man’s World”
…
And I can’t remember what I picked for Tommy, Antonio and Michael after all…
Ok, the link is working again! Be sure to VOTE!
I only voted for Alfonso, Sadie and Bethany.
I picked
Alfonso & Witney Argentine Tango – Let It Be by Labrinth
Bethany & Derek Viennese Waltz -Til Death Do Us Part
Sadie & Mark Jive…I can’t remember which song I picked. LOL
It says it’s closed already!
Wouldn’t it make most sense for the couples to dance to both styles listed next week and America just choose the songs instead of picking just one dance. Considering most couples had a ballroom and latin dance under there chooses and there really running low on the number of dances they have left this season anyways.
I didn’t vote for every couple, but here’s what I chose:
Alfonso & Witney: Argentine Tango to Let It Be by Labrinth
Janel & Val: Quickstep to Riptide by Vance Joy
Lea & Artem: Samba to Animals by Maroon 5
Michael & Emma: Tango to For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert
Sadie & Mark: Foxtrot to Anything Goes by Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga
Tommy & Peta: Viennese Waltz to I’d Rather Go Blind by Beyonce
Just was in the site. Voting is now closed. It will be interesting to see what week this is for! Maybe next week since Monday is Dynamic Duos. Hmm. Guess we will have to wait and see.
did you guys have the complete list?
Do you mean of each of their choices and songs? If so, no…I didn’t save all of that info before they closed the link. Sorry.
