DWTS 13 Will Chaz Bono Use Cher’s Music To Dance?
For those wishing Chaz and Lacey might dance to some of Cher’s music, it doesn’t look like it might happen according to Lacey at E Online. I can see their reasoning on it, can you? But, I wish they would. Note how Chaz has lost 5 pounds already and there is still 2 weeks until showtime. Also note how Lacey describes his personality off and on the dance floor.
“Chaz is very wary about dancing to any one of his parents’ songs,” Bono’s Dancing partner Lacey Schwimmer recently told us. “He doesn’t want people to think we’re just going to dance to his parents’ songs for votes. So we’re just going to try our hardest to stay away from that route.”
But does Bono take after his superstar parents when it comes to entertaining?
“Chaz is actually a very shy person,” she says. “He doesn’t open up very easily, and with good reason. People have been scrutinizing him for his whole life. So I understand that. But when music comes on and when I give him the choreography and I tell him to go crazy, he has this really cute little personality about him. It’s really endearing to watch and I really think that people are going to fall in love with him as a person rather than what they think of him.”
As for Bono’s progress in the ballroom, Schwimmer says, “He picks up choreography very fast. He’s overweight and he’s aware of it but he’s already dropped five pounds in six days, since we started. His endurance is building, he’s getting stronger, he’s getting more confident.”

Believe could fit for a chacha
Jane Seymour danced the Cha Cha to the Shoop Shoop song.
I hope Chaz will stand is ground and nix the Sonny & Cher music idea. I can only imagine the amount of drool TPTB must be drowning in at the thought of Chaz & Lacey dancing to “I Got You Babe” but I don’t think it’s a good plan. The guy is going to be under such scrutiny already (will he dance like a girl? will the weight loss reveal a girlish figure? what else is shaking along with those hips?) that he does not need the added pressure of trying to do justice to his iconic parents. He has asked not to dance to Cher’s music, I hope TPTB can respect that.
I am so hoping Chaz & Lacey come out and nail their first dance, a la Kelly Osbourne and Kirstie Alley. Fingers crossed, Chaz, I’m rooting for you.
what do ya’ll bet he dances last ?
Linde, I would so love to see that scenerio take place!^^
The question is – does Cher own the rights to their music?? If she DOES, then problem solved. Deny them the right to use the music. IF, on the other hand, she doesn’t own any of it, then it will be interesting to see if the producers go with Chaz wishes, or if they strong arm him into doing it.
Well I do think Cher own the rights of the music because it is her song. Anyway, they’ve used songs of her in the past so I don’t think copyright is the issue. I think that Chaz and Lacey just don’t want people to think they’re just trying to earn votes by using Cher’s songs. They want to try to earn the votes on their own, without the help of Cher’s songs, fame and popularity so Chaz can be just himself as a dancer and not the son/former daughter of Sonny and Cher.
A – it being “her song” does NOT means she owns the rights to it. You don’t remember that huge flap where Michael Jackson bought the rights to the Beatles whole catalog??
B – Just because they used them in the past doesn’t mean they can in the future. You have to clear the songs every single time. That is why a couple of Evan and Anna’s dances were not included in the Best of DWTS voting – because they couldn’t get the songs cleared again.
He’s going to be the kelly osbourne of this season. I don’t see him going third.
Everything I’ve seen about Chaz puts me more in his corner (from a personal standpoint — I’m reserving judgment on his dancing, and no matter how much I like him as a person, I *will* judge his dancing and it will influence my voting). That said, I really like everything that I’ve seen about him as a human being. If he doesn’t want to dance to any of his parents’ songs, then I hope he sticks to his guns. Anyone who has the fortitude to do what he’s done should be able to stand up to TPTB and “just say no”. Go Chaz!
