Predictions for Tomorrow’s Talented Performances

Written by: John

We already know for sure that Julianne Hough will be singing her new single “My Hallelujah Song” Julianne Hough - Julianne Hough - My Hallelujah Song while brother Derek Hough & old partner Mark Ballas dance. (Check out Julianne Hough’s music video for My Hallelujah Song on iTunes My Hallelujah Song)

Being a Las Vegas boy, I’m willing to bet that Leona Lewis will be performing her song Bleeding Love Leona Lewis - Spirit (Deluxe Version) - Bleeding Love. (Check out her music video also Leona Lewis - Spirit (Deluxe Version) - Bleeding Love) That song has been one of the most popular songs ever on So You Think You Can Dance and I think that it will do really really well on Dancing with the Stars too. I’m looking forward to seeing her perform it live.

Anyone want to make a guess on what Aretha Franklin will sing when Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas return to the dance floor? I’d love to hear her sing RespectAretha Franklin - The Best of Aretha Franklin - Respect. What about John Legend? Maybe Green LightJohn Legend - Evolver - Green Light?

I don’t think it’s any surprise that Disney (also owns ABC) darling Miley Cyrus will be singing “Fly on the Wall” Miley Cyrus - Breakout - Fly On the Wall on the finale show. A very nice pick. Although, I must admit that it’s really interesting that there have been so many younger talents singing on the show. I can’t imagine Dancing with the Stars is trying for the younger demographic. Maybe they just assume they already have the older demographic locked in.
