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.

I love this week of the show since there is such an amazing variety of dances that you get to see. It’s really fun to watch. Hard to compare for judging, but great entertainment. Also, it provides a great variety of music as well.

Last week I posted a poll to predict who will be the winner of Dancing with the Stars Season 8. The results from the voting is in and I must admit that I’m not surprised by the voting. That’s a bad sign for the show. Unless of course, the Pure Dancing with the Stars readers are wrong, but that has yet to happen on the big things.

Here are the results of the voting for winner of Dancing with the Stars season 8:
Gilles Marini – 43.14%
Shawn Johnson – 20.26%
Melissa Rycroft – 19.61%
Lil’ Kim – 9.80%
Chuck Wicks – 4.58%
Ty Murray – 1.31%
Lawrence Taylor – 1.31%

Looks like people have predicted that Cheryl Burke is going to take home another Mirror Ball Trophy. Gilles dancing definitely deserves it. We’ll see if his and Cheryl’s fans can do their part.

UPDATE: Here’s a link to find the latest Dancing with the Stars music (if that’s what you’re looking for).

Tonight’s dances were the viennese waltz and paso doble. 2 really interesting dances. They don’t usually have the same wow factor as some of the other dances(except for the Paso Doble sometimes), but the music is always nice. Plus, seeing Steve-O do a viennese waltz is priceless.

As always, take a look back at past Dancing with the Stars music.

I’m a little late in posting the music from week 3 of Dancing with the Stars 2009 (Samba Music and Foxtrot Music). What can I say, my wife took me on a cruise for our birthdays and unfortunately there wasn’t any reasonable internet on the cruise ship. So, I’m a little late, but as they say “Better late than never.”
