And my fave Chaka Khan song…
ETA: And here is her announcement on GMA….
Exciting news! I think she’ll do great!
I know, I can’t get her music out of my head today. I’m open to liking Keo again if he makes the most of his opportunity to work with a legend. I thought Artem did right by Miss Patti last season, working around her significant limitations to show off her amazingness. I can only hope that Keo asks for help and chooses wisely who he uses to help him. tell me something good!
Is it just me who is a little sad about Chaka talking about she and her partner “making history” (first mixed race female celeb/male pro partnership on the show). Unless I’ve read it wrong, she basically unwittingly confirmed that Keo is only on the show for his skin colour and not his abilities as a pro.
I’m disappointed Keo is her partner – I think he’s so full of himself he won’t be able to do right by her. Excited as I was for Keo’s first season, I’m underwhelmed in his ability to be a teacher. As someone else has already said, their best chance is if Keo allows her to take the lead in many of the decisions. He could probably take a note or two from Chaka Kahn!
I know this is random but I really hope we get to see her dance to “respect” by Aretha Franklin.
