Go Inside Tony Dovolani And Wynonna Judd’s DWTS Rehearsals, GMA On Wednesday, New Photo
Doesn’t the above picture look fun? Wynonna Judd tweeted it with the caption: “Is there such a thing as an Albanian cowboy?!? NOW there is!!” LOL! Too fun and hopefully they are going to show us more from this outting on Dancing With The Stars coming up?
Also, Wynonna and Tony were on Entertainment Tonight. Here they are in rehearsals. Wynonna says she’s more than Naomi Judd’s daughter, a number, or a “Chic singer”!! Go Wynonna and that you are!!
How do you think they look? Note that Tony and Wynonna will be on GMA on Wednesday, March 13th!!!!
UPDATE: Wynonna tells Access Hollywood that she thinks she’s lost 2 pounds in one day from rehearsing with Tony for Dancing With The Stars. She also talks of how much her friend Kirstie Alley has helped her. More at the link and be sure to watch this link because they may post a video shortly.
Wynonna’s s become so focused on tackling the ballroom, that they are rehearsing in her garage in Nashville, which she transformed into an at home studio. Despite being a country music veteran, Wynonna admitted she already has performance anxiety.
“My fans have been saying to me, ‘You’re an incredible talent and I know you’re going to do great. Just enjoy it and relax,’” she said. “Relax? Really? In front of millions of people… OK.”
Keeping her calm, and offering sage advice, has been her friend and “DWTS” alum Kirstie Alley.
“Kirstie’s become my mentor in telling me, ‘Get two buckets, get some ice, have them ready in the car when you’re done,’” she said.
Wynonna seems like a really nice person, and I’m sure with her fanbase, she will stick around for awhile. I won’t be rooting for her, since there are several other couples I like better (say I now – I could totally change my mind once I see them all on the show).
@ButterflyWhirl – I completely agree. I like several other couples as well, and Wynonna will probably stay too long.
My first impression of Wynonna is somewhat like Kirstie, and that is that I can only tolerate each of them in small doses, their personality will get quite old very quickly. So I doubt if I will be rooting for her. My country girl is probably going to be Kellie.
Make that three. While I respect Wynonna for giving this a shot, her personality is too overpowering and confrontational for my taste. Tony is going to be the “silent partner” in this relationship for sure. My country girl is definitely Kellie.
Kellie and Derek are one of my favorite couples so far too.
Hmmm.. Just had a thought? I wonder if the show will try to pit the two celebs (country, etc.) against each other as “in jeopardy”, they wouldn’t do that would they. Yes they would.
It seems like people are already gravitating towards one of the country girls or comedians or whatever over the other – I know I am – so I wouldn’t be surprised if the show pits them against each other. It would be interesting to know if they all got the same dances – both doing cha cha or contemporary or whatever.
If I had to pick one of each of the pairings today, based on what I’ve seen so far, I would choose:
Country girl – Kellie
Comedian – Andy
Acting – Ingo (vs Zendaya)
Athlete – Victor (vs Jacoby)
Reality – Lisa (vs Sean)
Olympian – this is the toughest one for me – probably Dorothy over Aly
I’m interested in seeing how my thoughts change (or if they change) once we see the packages and the dancing.
Heh-heh, Sandy. You obviously weren’t born yesterday. 😉 I wonder if TPTB will tell the Stooges to treat Wynonna with kid gloves (like they did with Kirstie first time around).
Butterfly, I think you’re right on target with your pairings. Going mixed-gender definitely sets up cleaner “rivalries”.
Right now my picks in each category match yours exactly 😛 except I have no hesitation in choosing Dorothy over Aly. Nothing against Aly. I’ll be rooting for her to do well, but Dorothy and Tristan are my heart’s favorites.
At this point, though, nothing is cast in stone. I’m open to being impressed by a combination of good dancing and good chemistry.
@Cidra – I’m also open to being impressed by one of the other couples, or disappointed at lack of dance ability in a couple I’ve picked. And I wouldn’t say that the six I picked are necessarily my top six – it’s just who I’d choose if I had to pick one from each rivalry.
Gee, Sandy, that would be so fake and manufactured…oh, wait…
Wynonna is certainly more than meets the eye. You can tell she is always trying to better herself and gain wisdom which I respect. She also looks like not a half bad dancer. Imma be rooting for her and Tony bigtime.
I vote for Wynona in the “country girl” category. I like her sense of humor and, if the promos are any indication, Kelly will be a little too cheesy for my taste. I hope Tony learned from the fiasco he created with Martina cause this pairing could go really wrong.
I am going to wait to see before I decide which country girl I would pick over the other as far as dancing goes. I can say that I like them both and they are very different, but from a singing point of view Wyonna has my vote. I got to see her in concert years ago and she was fantastic.
I love Derek so that is going to influence me as well. Just makes me more excited to see them on Monday night and see what they do. 🙂
My version::
Country girl – Kellie
Comedian – Andy
Acting – so far Ingo has a slight edge
Athlete – so far Jacoby has a slight edge
Reality – I don’t really care one way or the other
Olympian – tough choice, I want them both to do well
So am I to assume that the Country Girls both have Cha-Cha? And the comedians both have Foxtrot? And So Forth and So Forth. Just to even things up, following through with the being Fair concept. LOL
Oh gawd…if they actually DO that?? I might throw up. FWIW….there are a hell of a lot of Cha Cha’s the first week though, so odds are good that it will LOOK like they did that.
Well I can’t really pick by category but I’ll be voting for Wynonna for sure and probably Kellie. I love Kellie’s irreverence and Wy and I go way back, to when I was grammar school that is, when the Judds first album came out. And I’ll be rooting for Dorothy, childhood memories again. 🙂
I’d like to see Gleb do really well. I like what I’ve seen of his personality so far in interviews and i love how he moves. I also think Lisa is the as down-to-earth as you can get for the Beverly Hills housewives show so I hope to see them do well.
I definitely think Kym and Ingo will do very well and I want them to since Kym’s always been so likable and a wonderful teacher and dancer.
The others I really don’t personally care at this stage.
Sandy, bite your tongue. Don’t give them any ideas. The only ones they seem to pick up on are the bad ones. 😛
She seems like so much fun BUT I think that she might be a good dancer too. I remeber when Kirstie was announced and I was thinking “this is going to be a disaster”. She surprised me becuase she just let go and thats what it seems whynonna is doing. She might be one of the few this season who is going in there thinking “Whatever happens happens” and I kinda like her atitude.
Well, Zendaya (the “other” actor) has contemporary, so that matches up. I wonder what Aly and Mark have? as that in John’s interview (haven’t looked at it yet)? If that’s contemporary too, then it looks even more-so.
Just watched the interview with Mark – they have cha cha.
I Guess my theory is kaput. I believe Mark mentioned the Cha-Cha. (I think). Oh Lordie, my head is spinning already and the season hasn’t even started.
If so, then Dorothy is Contemporary and Aly is Cha-Cha.
I’ve noticed Tony has barely said anything on Twitter and/or during different interviews.
Would love to see the Judds perform on a Tuesday.
