Julianne Hough Returns to Dancing with the Stars Alongside Benji Schwimmer and Brad Paisley

Written by: John

Brad Paisley did indeed rejoin Julianne Hough on Dancing with the Stars tonight. Along with a cool appearance of Benji Schwimmer with his sister Lacey. Check out the music from the results show:

Lacey Schwimmer & Benji Schwimmer danced to Brad Paisley singing “Ticks”
Brad Paisley, Kelley Lovelace & Tim Owens - Ticks - Single - Ticks
Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Karina Smirnoff, Alec Mazo, Edyta Śliwińska, Genya Mazo & Kym Johnson danced to Brad Paisley singing “Let the Good Times Roll”
Brad Paisley - Play - Let the Good Times Roll
Design-A-Dance by Derek Hough & Julianne Hough dancing a Jive to the song “Great Balls of Fire”
Jerry Lee Lewis - Jerry Lee's Greatest - Great Balls of Fire

I’m also very glad to say that I was right about Derek and Julianne being the design a dance couple. I love when I’m right. This does show that Derek and Julianne are the most popular professional dancers too. I wonder how the other professionals feel about that.

Susan and Tony Going Home - Cody and Edyta Safe

Written by: John

Cody and Edyta were barely saved on tonight’s episode of Dancing with the Stars. Susan and Tony were sent home. At least I can say that America got this right. It would have been really wrong if Cody got sent home while Julianne is recovering.

Lionel Richie sang “Good Morning” John Legend - Evolver - Good Morning while Alec Mazo & Edyta Śliwińska danced.

Lionel Richie sang “Dancing on the Ceiling” Lionel Richie - 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Lionel Richie - Dancing On the Ceiling while Cheryl Burke, Kym Johnson, Tony Dovolani & Maksim Chmerkovskiy danced.

No Surprises Tonight - No One Sent Home but Misty

Written by: John

Everyone figured that Dancing with the Stars was going to do the same thing as they did when Sara Evans dropped out. Basically they did. They just revealed that Rocco and Karina were the bottom 2. That too was of no major surprise to anyone watching the show. Of course, I hope that Rocco and Karina can pour it on next week and that Cloris will lay even a worse egg than she did this week. I hope Len digs in and pulls out the 4 paddle we haven’t seen much. Cloris was funny the first show. Now she’s just annoying.

The highlight of the night was Derek and Julianne Hough dancing to Jennifer Hudson singing “Spotlight” Jennifer Hudson - Jennifer Hudson (Bonus Track Version) - Spotlight You can see why Derek and Julianne are so successful. Just fantastic dancers. I’m sure Derek isn’t that fond of dancing with his sister, but I think the audience really enjoyed it. I know I did.

The other musical performance was by Kool and the Gang doing a Greatest Hits Medley. If I have time I’ll put together a list of all the songs they did. For now, here’s Celebration by Kool & the Gang Kool & The Gang - Funk Essentials: Celebration - The Best of Kool & the Gang 1979-1987 - Celebration

All of the couples that I really like our still in the show. Life is good. Next week’s Dancing with the Stars should be awesome since it’s Samba and Tango. Two very wonderful dances to watch.

Dang, I almost forgot. Maks and Edyta did the dance that Misty May was going to do to the song “Shake It” by Metro StationMetro Station - Metro Station - Shake It. Maks’ nerd outfit was spectacularly awful. What a way for him to end his season. I wouldn’t mind teaching Edyta though.

Download all the Dancing with the Stars Music - Misty May Gone

Written by: John

It was a sad day for true Dancing with the Stars fans, because Misty May is injured and no longer on the show. Still a ton of great competitors and we have no clue who is really going to win this year. However, I would have liked to see Misty May finish developing herself on the show. I felt like she never broke out in her dancing.

Ok, Misty May aside, here’s the list of all the Dancing with the Stars music from tonight’s episode of DWTS.

Misty May Out of Dancing with the Stars

Written by: John

UPDATE: Misty May-Treanor’s reps have released a statement to ET about the Olympic gold-winner’s injury that could affect her stint on “Dancing with the Stars.” Misty’s reps tell us she “sustained an injury on Friday and received immediate medical attention. Despite previous reports, she did not break her ankle. She is resting comfortably at home. Doctors will reevaluate her condition on Monday and determine the outcome of her participation on the show. Source

A number of sources are reporting that Misty May broke her ankle while practicing for Dancing with the Stars. This is really an unfortunate loss. I don’t think Misty May had become nearly what she could have become on the show. She never fully came out of her shell.

Rumors are saying that Keri Walsh (Misty’s volleyball partner) will take her place in the competition with Maks. Something about that idea just doesn’t feel right. I think it would be cool if Keri came for just one dance or something, but to have her replace her entirely isn’t fair to Keri or to the other dancers who have already been sent home.

Dancing with the Stars Elimination Show - September 30,2008

Written by: John

Check out Jessica Simpson on Dancing with the Stars. She’s gone country…ok enough of that. The Judges Choice was by far the most memorable dance from last night. I think the black pleather and Kym’s ability to lean back like the Matrix makes the Matrix dance the best.
