E! News on the Winner of DWTS and the Finale as a whole:

Marc Malkin, from E! Online, is none to pleased that his favorite didn’t win:

From ET Online:

On Tuesday night’s thrilling “Dancing with the Stars” finale Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas walked away with the coveted mirror ball trophy — and ET was backstage to celebrate with the season eight champions!

“It feels amazing,” Shawn Johnson says about the victory. “I don’t know how we did it. I guess we like to save things for the last second. We worked really hard, I feel like I’ve grown so much. I can officially say I am a dancer and that is amazing to me, I never imagined that.”

“To be on the stage especially next to Gilles [Marini] and Cheryl [Burke] and Melissa [Rycroft] and Tony [Dovolani] was amazing,” Mark says. “I’m just so honored to have had Shawn as a partner and to take her this far. Thank you to the fans for voting for us. Thank you.”

I’ll be listing all of the music from the top 4 of Dancing with the Stars as I find it. If I’m missing a song, check back regularly and I’ll update the music as I find it.

Also, check out the music from past episodes of Dancing with the Stars.

For the first time in a while, we got two all Professional dances on the Monday night performance show.  Each dance was intended to showcase the ballroom and latin dances that would be performed by the remaining five competitors. Great performances by Louis Van Amstel (also noted as the choreographer), Kym Johnson, Lacey Schwimmer, Dimitri Chaplin, Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya.

Part 4 – The Injuries and….Bruno

Derek directs a music video set to the Ballas Hough Band’s song Do You Love Me. The video stars many of the celebrities and professional dancers from this seasons DWTS, in addition to brief appearances by Tom Bergeron, Samantha Harris, Shannon Elizabeth, Joanna Pacitti, Rascal Flatts and Boyz II Men. Read more about the Ballas Hough Band music video.

I always love the Dancing with the Stars results shows. Not because of the results. They drag that out too much. Instead, I love to see the special guest performances and adore seeing the professional dancers interpret the music and show their incredible skills. The following were tonight’s special guests on Dancing with the Stars:
Natasha Bedingfield sang the song “Soulmate” while Dmitry Chaplin and Lacey Schwimmer performed.

Celtic Woman sang the song “You Raise Me Up” while Eric Luna and Georgia Ambarian performed.

I must admit that I wasn’t sad to see Lawrence go home at all. I’m always sad when Edyta is gone, but Edyta and Lawrence just didn’t have a great connection so it was all good. I am very happy that Ty is still sticking around. Chelsie’s worked wonders.

Check out the Jive and Rumba music from the Dancing with the Stars 2009 performances. Also, take a look back at all the great DWTS 2009 music.

In quite a surprise, David and Kym were sent home on Dancing with the Stars. Seems like Steve-O (and probably Lacey) along with Ty (and probably Chelsie) have large fan bases. Interesting that the two professional dancers that bucked the score were on So You Think You Can Dance and brought over many fans from that show.

On a different note, take a look at the special guest music from the Dancing with the Stars results show.

Etta James sang the song “At Last” while Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy performed.

Demi Lovato sang the song “La La Land” while special guests Benji Schwimmer (So You Think You Can Dance winner) and Torri Smith performed.

They also had a Macy’s Stars of Dance performance by Le Rêve.
