DWTS16 Champs Kellie Pickler And Derek Hough Shoot New Music Video For “Someone Somewhere Tonight”

Just a little update on Dancing With The Stars Season 16 champs Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough. According to Pure Derek Hough via Ashley Mann On Music Row, the duo filmed a new music video for Kellie’s new single “Someone Somewhere TonightSomeone Somewhere Tonight - Single - Kellie Pickler in Nashville this past week. It’s not confirmed whether they will be dancing in the video yet, but, a lot of their fans (including myself) are hoping so. This isn’t Derek’s first music video. For those that don’t know, Derek also choreographed and danced in Cheryl Cole’s “Parachute” video (one of my all time favorite music videos ever!) Parachute - 3 Words . Remember THIS?

Oh, my heart is beating really fast!! :D Let’s hope Kellie’s new video is released soon!! Be sure to read more at Pure Derek Hough!!!

Heidi: Thanks, Vogue!! Yeah, I’m hoping Ashley is right AND I’m hoping there’s dancing. But another possibility is that he choreographed/directed or something like that. He really seems to be getting into the directing/production side of things which is a rather natural extension of being a stellar choreographer. Whatever it is, I can’t wait to see!!

I'm a fashion and music nut....and I have always loved dancing too of any kind. Dancing With The Stars seems to have this way of bringing all of those things together. Derek Hough (one of my favorite dancers) said at a recent Get Healthy event that ‘dancing’ is an outward expression of what is going on inside you. He says that in some ways, everyone dances and it's so true. To TPTB, how about Sam Palladio's "Fade Into You" (this version sung by WilUnleashed) for a V. Waltz?

Which Pro Dancers Would You Like To See Dance In Dancing With The Stars Season 17?

Ok, so you’ve had a chance to let us know your Celebrity Cast Wishes for Dancing With The Stars Season 17, but, what about your DANCE PRO WISHES for the new season? As most of you know, they are downsizing the show to only one night next season, so will this mean they downsize the number of couples too? I don’t know, but, just in case this happens and for fun, pick only 8 pros this time (4 female and 4 male) with four runners-up (2 female and 2 male) in case the cast is bigger. For example, here are my dance pro wishes….

Male:
Derek Hough
Gleb Savchenko
Henry Byalikov
Maks Chmerkovskiy (do I dare say I am missing Maks a little and I’m wondering if he learned something from having a season off and if it renewed his spirit and passion to dance?)

Female:
Sharna Burgess
Karina Smirnoff
Oksana Dmytrenko
Anna Trebunskaya (I miss our fiery Russian red head!)

In case the cast is bigger, my runners-up are:
Male: Val Chmerkovskiy or Mark Ballas (either one), Tristan MacManus
Female: Kym Johnson, Peta Murgatroyd

Wow, that was hard to narrow it down being I love them all? And to think, what if they downsize the couples to only SIX which is a possibility too? 8O I don’t even want to think about it? :(

Ok, you’re turn now. Let us know which pros you’d like to see dance on the show next season in comments. Though please note: NO SPAMMING, campaigning, or cheering type posts!!! For instance, flying in to say “Lindsay Arnold, Lindsay Arnold!!” will be immediately deleted.
