Bindi Irwin and Hayes Grier Nae Nae for DWTS Season 21
These are fun little videos although neither of them look particularly comfortable doing it. That’s okay – most humans aren’t. π Especially on camera. Derek and Emma might have their work cut out for them. π
As long as Bindi doesn’t bring the snake to rehearsals, Derek will be fine!
I thought that same thing Linz. Remember when Kellie mentioned her Python boots? The mere mention of snake rendered Derek speechless!
So I think bindi did decent but she seems very shy at the same time which surprised me a lot. Saying that, she looks like she is going to be good once the nervousness is gone. Haynes…….yeah i always thought all teenagers can dance but he clearly is an exception lol. Saying that he was fun so I’m torn. Hate to say it but he might be Emma’s biggest challenge yet.
My 11 year old son can Whip & NaeNae better than Hayes did :/
Bindiβs was cute. I did not Hayes; however, he seems to have a lot of fans that are very active on social media so he might go far in this competition.
Bindi didn’t seem too confortable doing it but she still looked pretty darn cute.
Hayes on the other hand.. Uh.. You would think for a 15 year old Viner who does these funny videos, he would be a little bit more outgoing, carefree and.. let loose. But he looked pretty terrible. Lol. It was just really, really awkward. I hope he ballroom’s better than he nae-nae’s.
I was actually quite surprised at the amount of visible cleavage on Bindi. Was it just me?
@linz – I agree. No snake!
Will will definitely be the most improved contestant of the season. Hayes on the other hand will struggle in the competition. Hopefully he has a great attitude and have fun with the experience.
Aww, I think Bindi’s adorable & if shes in fact Derek’s partner she’ll be fine~ She probably NEVER heard of the Nae Nae- π
If the judges act right, this could be a fun season!! π
Lol me and my sister were just talking about how bindi is prob ttly going to have derek visit Australia and australia zoo. Hope he doesnt run into too many boots!
Not boots, snakes! Sorry was thinking of kellys boots lol
After watching Bindi’s dance, i feel bad for Derek π She looks like a bad dancer.. π I think, there’s no way they will win..:( I just wish Derek had Alexa or Shay instead…
OH NOO !! I was really exicted to watch Bindi dance with Derek but now not anymore π
@Maria I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way.. But are you judging her dance abilities based on a short video of her doing the nae-nae? π
I’m sure once she actually learns to dance and practices with Derek she’ll loosen up.
I hope the same applies for Hayes.
Ohmygosh hayes dances AWFUL. Lol I was cracking up that was so bad! I really hope he’s better with ballroom lol. I was also surprised by bindi’s cleavage. I mean, I’m all her for looking and feeling gorgeous, etc., but I just hope that the show doesn’t over-sexualize her or anything, like use the girl’s cleavage to attract creepy dudes to watch the show, she is only 17.
:::rolls eyes::: Ya’ll need to relax.
Yeah I decided I’m not judging the celebs dance ability based on these videos, I cant imagine someone doing an (for lack of a better word)/accurate whip/naenae on their probably first try and in front of a camara, I mean not even the pros are very good at it. That being said Im very excited for this season and cant wait for week 1
Thank you PH (#16)! I thought both youngsters were cute. Expecting them to knock out performances like Alexa, Carlos, and Nick is unrealistic and unkind. I’m sure Emma and Derek will work wonders with them.
Hayes is 15 years old from North Carolina (I think) who made a name for himself (such as it is) doing funny 6-second video loops recoreded by his friends/family in the back yard. So it’s a bit unrealistic to expect him to dance like Barishynikov 2.0 for a highly professional promo shoot. He was exactly as I thought he’d be – goofy and awkward.
As for Bindi, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with showing her cleavage. She’s 17 not 12. If she and her mother were OK with it, then it’s fine by me. I thought the snake was a great prop. Having the reptile around her neck probably made her feel more comfortable doing something completely *out* of her comfort zone dressed in nothing more than a bathing suit with sparkles on it. She was a bit hesitant and stiff, but she has an excellent attitude about the whole thing. Love her smile.
Agreed PH, the hand-ringers are out in full force!
That outfit Bindi is wearing differs very little than many that other girls and women dancers wear – she has a large chest, but it’s not her responsibility not to sexualize herself and make no apologies for her breasts. As Cidra stated, she’s 17 not 7, and you see much more than that on the beach filled with 17 year-olds.
I guess I’m just going by what our 16 year old grand daughter is permitted to wear. She has a large chest as well. Not saying either way is right or wrong.
Not going to go into fret mode over what is essentially a 5 second goof spot. I actually see some potential (particularly Bindi) and progression is a big plus on this show.
I think Bindi is adorable and I bet that she & Derek will have some super-cute energy together. I hope TPTB will allow us to watch their rehearsals; I really loved watching the couples’ rehearsals last season. Yet, I was hoping that this season Derek might win his 6th MBT with a terrific partner….I don’t know if that will be possible with Bindi, but who knows…I didn’t initially have a lot of hope for Amber Riley and she ended up being terrific and blowing the competition out of the water!
