Tonight was quite the shocker for me. I was certain that Melissa Rycroft would be going home. I guess I seriously underestimated the number of fans that are sympathetic to Melissa. Add in the injury and Melissa really must have garnered a ton of sympathy votes.

Don’t get me wrong. Melissa is a wonderful dancer and I don’t like anyone getting sent home due to injury, but I really thought that Julianne and Chuck would have gotten more votes. Hard to believe that Ty and Chelsie is possibly more popular than Chuck and Julianne. Pretty amazing stuff.

Well, as usual here’s the list of Dancing with the Stars music from the week 8 results show:
Robin Thicke sang the song “When I Get You Alone” for Alec Mazo, Edyta Sliwinska, Cheryl Burke, Tony Dovolani, Kym Johnson, and Dmitry Chaplin’s professional dance performance.

Robin Thicke sang the song “Sidestep” to special guest professional dancers Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis (of So You Think You Can Dance fame)

Professional Dancer Competition (future Dancing with the Star professional)
Genya Mazo & Afton DelGrosso danced a Quickstep
Mayo Alanen & Anna Demidova danced a Jive
Brent Borbon and Snow Urbin were knocked out of the competition to be the next professional on Dancing with the Stars.

I really like the addition of the Professional dancer competition. It makes it fun for us to get to know the possible professional dancers and the dances they do are really quite wonderful. The following are the professionals that are competing to be the next professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars Season 9:
Mayo Alanen
Brent Borbon
Afton DelGrosso
Anna Demidova
Genya Mazo
Snow Urbin

Brent & Afton danced a Cha-Cha-Cha to the song “Damaged”—Danity Kane

Mayo & Anna danced a Waltz to the song

Genya & Snow danced a Rumba to the song “Stop and Stare”—OneRepublic
