DWTS Pros Tony Dovolani, Kym Johnson, And Louis Van Amstel Review Monday’s Final Dances
So, how does Louis Van Amstel feel on the dances on Dancing With The Stars last night and who will win? Below is his take from ABC on the freestyle dances and his overall opinion for who will win.
William Levy and Cheryl Burke’s Freestyle. It was a good dance, but for a Freestyle it was a little too normal. I think we all expect something different from any other dance we have seen. What I like seeing is that William is just having a good time. Will it be enough to win? It depends on whether Katherine or Donald will dance as if their life depended on it. In a way I have to agree a little bit with Len, it was a bit predictable. I would have given this three “9s.”
Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas’s Freestyle. Now, that’s a Freestyle! It was very entertaining and well thought out, taking us back to the forties. From the music and costumes to the choreography, this Freestyle had the ingredients to be successful. From an energy perspective, I believe that this was Katherine’s most open and exuberant performance so far. Very well done. I totally agree with Bruno, Carrie Ann and Len. This is the first performance I agree with the scoring. This was worthy of three “10s.”
Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd’s Freestyle. Wow, Donald! What can I say?! Every time I see Donald on the dance floor I feel like I’m watching a kid in a candy store and that’s the quality we all fell in love with. He’s so committed and willing to try anything. In this Freestyle, Donald danced as if his life depended on it. This was the energy I was missing in Round One from all celebs. Like with Katherine, this was a true Freestyle with all the right ingredients. It was very original. Again, I totally agreed with the judges.
Overall. Who Will Win?
After a great first round and an amazing Freestyle round, I would rank Donald and Katherine as a very close first and second, and then William in third place. That doesn’t mean that tomorrow night things can’t change. It’s still too close to call. No couple can rest on their laurels and take it easy tomorrow. I hope you guys voted!
I have to say I completely agree with him this time. What do you think?
Also, below is Tony Dovolani and Kym Johnson with their thoughts on the night on Good Morning America today. They can’t pick the winner because they love them all, but, they think Katherine has the edge.;
Stay tuned. Miss Heidi’s Number Prediction post is coming up and it’s always fun! xx
How do we get a petition going to get Louis van Amstel hired as a judge on Dancing With the Stars? He’s “right on” with his assessment of last night’s dances.
I agree with louis 🙂 i loved donald and peta, their freestyle was brilliant 🙂 katherine and mark were good too, their freestyle was different, i agree with len re william, he is a lovely guy but his dances have nearly all been the same 🙁 not keen on cheryls choreography this season, much preferred her with rob last time 🙂
Kym wearing Packer green 🙂 !!
I think the word ‘predictable’ goes to Mark. He dances the same to everything. He’s like a ‘LeapFrog’. He leaped around Katherine and knocked her off balance.
Louis is pretty “right on” when Derek and some others aren’t involved. Then his jealous streak comes out.
For once, he is 100% correct. I just gained a whole new level of respect for him.
@jo: I agree. She was much better choreography wise with Ron Kardashain than with William. I also liked Rob better as a dancer too oddly enough (which is saying a lot becuase he kinda was the little engine that could last season and kept going and giving 100% improving each week by leaps and bounds like Kelly Monaco and Jennie Garth did in their seasons)
