Derek Hough, Brittany Cherry, Hayley Erbert and Jason Glover Perform “Singin’ in the Rain” – HI Res Video
This is some kind of awesome video!! Well done, Derek and company. Kinda funny – with the head mic on you can hear Derek breathing…but you can also hear a couple of his little dancing noises as he’s trying to restrain them. I imagine he’ll loose that altogether with more practice. He didn’t have a problem in New York Spring Spectacular.
OMG, he’s so good & the shows or rehearsals haven’t even begun. I can’t help but watch this and smile. Very clear video too.
It’s going to be fun to fly to New York & get together with a group of Derek fans to see this show.
Great performance by everyone!!
Proud of you, Derek!! 🙂
Brilliant w/the tap dancing.
The section with just the men is so fierce love it.
I saw him towards the end of his NYSS run and I actually think his singing is a bit better now. I’m not sure, maybe he was just suffering from vocal strain/exhaustion during that particular performance. His tap dancing is also getting better.
Considering he only had a week of rehearsals for this and the actual show doesn’t even open for almost a year – I’m sure he’ll be outstanding! But like Heidi said in another post, he’ll need to spend a lot of time getting ready so he is vocally and physically ready to sing/dance/act 8 shows a week. Probably why he won’t be on this season of dwts even though the show doesn’t open till fall/winter.
LOVE THIS The dancing is excellent as always but I’ve never really heard Derek sing. He’s a little breathy but in great voice! Just needs more practice and there are mike tricks he can use as well. My only concern is that he is able to stay healthy and avoid his usual cold/flu. As awful as it was for him too dance like that last season it is even worse for the voice. He’s going to be so awesome!!
This is so lovely!
The other thing is that his head mike is plugged directly into the system making the video, meaning his voice is louder than it probably is when you’re sitting in the audience.
Once they get to the previews, he should be in fantastic shape – and once they open, they likely will have no more rehearsal, so he’ll have FAR more time on his hands than he does during DWTS. I think he knows the value of rest at at this point – he’s not a kid anymore. 🙂
Wondered if it may have also been a mic issue. If we know anything about Derek, it’s that he one of the most driven people (possibly on this earth.) He’s also incredibly passionate about everything he does. I’m willing to bet he’ll surprise a few people with his talents come actual opening show time! 🙂
Is Derek singing? 😀
Um…you can’t tell?
WOW! Love the high quality video! I’m already itching to see the show and I’ll have to wait sooooooooooo long!
Derek sings so good live ive never heard him sing before!!! Hes a quadruple threat! Ive never liked juliannes singing sadly tbh, but derek sings amazing!! A quadruple threat!
Lol on the little dancing noises. 😛
This is so good! He’s going to kill it! I’m so happy for him, not just for getting this part, but for knowing his self-worth and making smart decisions. The same unfortunately, can’t be said for the c-bro clowns who according to Perez Hilton walked out of the room right before Derek took the stage. Really?? These yoyos don’t have a touch of class or smarts to them. Their jealousy will be their demise.
I just saw a couple of people referring to the Perez “exclusive” about the fam walking out just as Derek was announced to perform. I would take Perez with a grain of salt, but nothing would surprise me from that group. It’s too bad that Peta (and now Sharna) have aligned themselves with that crowd.
What’s so great about Derek’s dancing in this clip is the way he makes each step stand out while still making them flow so smoothly into the whole.
I can’t imagine not gasping for air while dancing like this AND singing.
@Rose1 – Someone tweeted it to me, and I can’t say I was surprised – although in defense of Peta, I never got the impression that there was any bad blood between she & Derek, and she probably got a bit stuck in the politics of being aligned with The Fam in this instance. If your future husband and future brother-in-law are saying “F*ck this, let’s go”, are you really gonna make a scene and fight to stay & watch? Seems like this may have been an instance of picking one’s battles.
Ah, that was lovely to watch. 😀
If this is true, it’s not surprising at all. I’m not surprised about Peta either. I know someone that worked on the tour this winter (not a dancer) and this individual said that she was pretty unpleasant.
While it wouldn’t surprise me AT ALL if they walked out before Derek performed, I’m pretty sure they were there with Zendaya and she had performed right before Derek so it’s very possible they went backstage to see her. Granted, most people would probably have stayed to watch a co-worker and someone they’ve known forever perform, even if there is some bad blood. I just don’t think it is as scandalous as Perez probably wants it to be.
Val and Peta could have at least stayed to support Brittany, I don’t think Zandaya would have fallen appart if she had to wait 10 minutes for them…
Watching this performance again today. So beautiful!! 🙂 Aww, he’s going to have such an amazing year.
Bravo!!!
Frankly, I would expect the DWTS pros to at least be social media savvy enough to understand that they should have tweeted congrats to their friend/ colleague. However, since I didn’t see that, I guess perhaps it’s early. And of course, they might have known already and congratulated him in person. So I’ll just wait. I’m SURE I’ll have plenty of time to be judging the C bros and their jealousy over this.
Dee, same here! I can’t get enough. He just brings in the sun!!
