New Official Dancing With The Stars “Maks Is Back” Commercial, Val Chmerkovksiy Blogs
This is a great promo…but, what about the other pros? Couldn’t they have said something on them?
Also, Val Chmerkovskiy has written a new blog for Today. He talks of how he found out he was back for the season. He also explains how he feels for the Switch Up dance and talks on Danica and their dance tonight…
The first dance Danica and I are doing is the foxtrot. It’s all right. It’s definitely not one of my favorites, but it’s a dance that I enjoy dancing. There are certain dances that are very effective and that the audience enjoys more but that I may not enjoy doing as much. Some just don’t have the capacity to be as powerful as others. The foxtrot doesn’t have the passion or the drama that a paso doble has, but it’s still an awesome dance to dance.
I’m committed to Danica’s well-being and growth. You build a connection with your partner. If there’s a switch up, I still want to see her do well, of course. I hope that whoever she may be paired with will want the same and will treat her well. If she ends up getting higher scores than I do with whomever I’m later paired with, then I’ll be very happy for her.
More at Today.
I doubt he meant to seem this way but he sounds rather disengaged. Maybe he just really dislikes the fox trot and the switch up idea.
Love him or hate him, Maks is the most talked about pro of this season, and since he’s been off for a year, I can understand why he’s been given such a prominent role in a promo like this.
It’s a shame that the “talk” isn’t always favorable or that many look forward to him causing trouble.
Z, we can see the article. No need for you to repost excerpts from it.
Lordy, Val needs to get some balance in his life. Why does everything have to be so bloody serious with him? He tries to put dancing on par with rocket science or brain surgery. Sheesh. man…enjoy dancing something lighthearted like the Foxtrot. Show some range both as a human being and as a choreographer. 🙄 He makes Sean Avery look like lighthearted.
He didn’t really touch on Danica’s skills at all…probably doesn’t want to draw attention to it. Fairly generic blog. Seems the pros still have no clue how the switch up is going to work.
Even though Val Wolowitz plugs his mom in this one, I almost feel like his nickname should be Valye West – because the whole analogy about getting picked to be a pro on DWTS being “like getting drafted by the NFL” just makes me think of Kanye’s claim that he “puts himself in danger onstage every night like a cop”.
This line just puzzles me: “Our producer has a British accent, so when he calls and tells you “congratulations,” it’s a great feeling.” So…if he had an American accent, it would just be kind of “meh” when he called to tell you that you were a pro? Is there some sort of enchantment associated with the British accent that I’m unaware of? 😛
Tristan’s lilting Irish accent always made me feel cheerful and swoony all at the same time. So maybe a clipped British public school accent has a similar effect on Val — he feels like a knight being given a noble quest by the king. 😛 Besides, everyone knows that a posh British accent makes you sound more educated and sophisticated. 🙄
The thing Val and Maks is best at ? …… putting their foot in their mouth, as my Granny says. Sick to death of the familia and if Derek weren’t on with the amazing Amy, I’d stop watching. And this season has the bonus package of Charlie White.
Why is “Maks is back” the mantra of season 18. I am sick of this already. He looks like an old man and he was not missed on my tv at all. I am not sure I can watch if it going to be the Maks saved DWTS show!
