Bad night to dance. The Pros did a couple of great routines, one to someone's singing I don't know, and the other to Boyz to Men singing MoTown, I think.
I think the review was posted before the show aired, but I was busy checking out Squeezer. A way to access the bigger flash sites in modified versions until Adobe creates a flash version MSNtv can use. Or something.
2 to go home tonight, and I think I know which whos.
Holly and Steve the Apple guy.
Bummer. For everybody.

Shawn, Lindy Hop
And the last dance tonight? Maybe.
Think it's more cute than anythig. We'll see what the judges say, I can't figure it out.
Bruno, spectactal of tricks, fun, but more dancing
Carryann, lacking was heavy on footwork, good tricks,
Len, too many tricks, needs more dancing. 2 8s and a 9.

must be almost over
Shawn and Gilles Tango, really excellent dancing and routine and characterization. Excellent, from my side. Judges say:
Len, fantastic...it's a mix, hard, soft, fast, slow and he showed every element
Bruno, the quintesential Latin lover. Deadly animal magniticism
Carryann, holy cow, couldn't tell who was the professional and who the celebrity.
He's another new favorite.
3 10s. He really deserves it.

3 10s. He really deserves it.
Ty
Is doing so well, I'm impressed and he's becomming a favorite for sure. I think he needs to smooth out his legs somehow, like he moves from the knees instead of maybe moving them from the hips, but athletes often have difficutly overcomming their training to move differently. Movement becomes automatic for everyone.
Steve, Tango, really good job.
Carryann: the ultimate underdog, long, not much going on, no passion, didn't like it.
Len, good for attempting a proper tango, improvement, but last week was so bad and improvement doesn't mean so much
Bruno, we love you, but the dancing not so good. Stunk...not nice, Bruno. Even in true, the dancing not so great.
3 4s. Bad scores for an entertaining, flawed dance. Boo. Really, boo and boo-hoo. Oh, well, I'm having fun and am glad he's there.
Melissa's up, Lindy Hop, I think.
It's closer to cheerleading for her so she looks pretty good. Still not my favorite. At all.
Len, potential to go all the way
Bruno, truly eye-popping fun, bursting with excitemet. The whole range of steps and excellent delivery.
Carryann, Tony's best choreorgraphy, and Melissa's best, great lifts.
bet it's 3 10s. We'll see. 2 10s and a 9. Best score of season so far.
Holly, Tango. Nice routine, overall, good job,
Bruno, good start, but got worse, he did all the work, drop the Barbie, bring out the vixen.
Carryann, hung in there after the mistake, not building strengthand needs to.
Len, great routine, Gets in a negative attitude, core strength needs work, but can get better.
2 5s and a 6.
Steve-O...Lindy Hop
Maybe not his best. we'll see.
Carryann, got through his routine, let go, but off on his musicality.
Len, got through, timing off,
Bruno, more hopping mad than Lindy Hop, listen to the music, has a timing problem.
3 5s.
Steve, Tango, really good job.
Carryann: the ultimate underdog, long, not much going on, no passion, didn't like it.

Lawerence
Tango, looks pretty good to me, missed a bit as was getting my sandwiches.
Len, heavy lacked passion
Bruno, menacing, intense. the judges are disagreeing a lot tonight.
Carrynn, power, good execution, lacked connection to eddita. chemestry or something.
scores say: 2 7s and a 5. Big difference from len, usually only one point difference.
Ty, Lindy Hop
Very fun routine, lots of energy and fun. Really good.
Bruno, still rough around the edges, vitality of a young stallion
Carryann, getting better and better, Chelsey great teacher. I like her a lot
Len, so far beyond his expectations, overall, great job, great choreography.

Chuck
Lindy Hop. Shall I cook, or shall I watch and blog??? Stomach rules, so perhaps I'll watch and cook and not blog. I had an excellent, long nap so there's no need to blog to keep myself awake. Guess I just like to chat.
Didn't like it as much as David's, but it's anoher good Huff routine,
Carryann, believes he's a contender
Len, competent, but needs something more
Bruno, style wonderful, but loose around the edges, crispier.
scores say:
2 7s and an 8

David did the Lindy Hop. Most excellent job.
Len, fun, energy, captured the fun, lost some of the rythm, not his best, but pretty good.
Bruno, loses some footwork with the speed, but good performance.
Carryann, disagrees, didn't loose footwork, great.
I really liked it. But scores say:
2 7s and an 8. I'd have scored highter, but that might be bias and dance ignorance or something. It was good entertainment and he looked good doing it. I really can't rate the techniqualities.
Lil' Kim, Argentine Tango varries from the ballroom tango. This'll be fun to see if I can see any difference which I probably cannot.
Most excellent dance. I like this form better than the ballroom and Lil' Kim did just so excellently. Good routine, too.
Bruno, more than a tango, tail of a fatal beauty...etc. He loves it. I like it when the judges agree with me. A lot.
Carryann, the real deal. good lines and style and stuff, loved it.
Len knocked out with the choreorgraphy, not so much the sensuality. Uh, Carryann and Bruno disagree.
I think it was perfect, favorite dance for me so far this year.
Jeeze! Bruno gave her a 10. First 10 this year. Excellent. one 9 and one 8. There aren't usually 3 different scores. Another unique, memorial moment. Very good dance, really.

denise
eliminated. Always a sad moment. She really should have styd.
Did they just say they're doing the Lindy Hop? Good news.
Did they just say they're doing the Lindy Hop? Good news.
Holly
Looks really good to me. Judges say, however
Len - really hot, not wooden tonight. good job
Bruno - hot, needs better timing and feet placement
Carryanne - looks like a party, foot on ground
basically all positive comments and an improved performance. Good.
3 6s, one point better.
Denise next. I guess it's all about fan base, really.
Bruno - much improvement
Carryann - good under pressure, good
Len - proved she deserves to stay
All very positive.
2 7s and a 6. 4 point improvement. Both did very good jobs.
They both seem to be a little awkard. Need smoothness and fluidity in the legs. They don't seem natural, I guess. Like I should talk. I can't dance the box step.

late, but not so
late. Games. They're demanding. Animal Crossings. New town. I might like this one. If not, delete.
They're announcing some of the saved. So far, David and Shawn and Lil' Kim are saved. Oh, and Steve the Apple guy. Excellent results so far.
Now a demo of the Lindy Hop with CLORIS and CORKY...so good, and the tango. they're such fun. I wish they'd add the Lindy Hop to the show.
The pros just did a jive to Hall and Oats. Most excellent number. And they played Man Eater (or whatever the name is which I don't know although I clearly am deeply familiar and love the song.)
Adele's singing tonight. This is the best night for me. Jives, Cloris and 2 singers/groups I really like.
AND, blessing of all blessings, I did get the garbage out in time. I forget it more often than usual since they changed the day. But I made it and that's the important thing.
Steve-O safe, Ty safe. Holly and Denise in the dance-off.

David's up
I think he looks really good. Needs smoothing as they all do.
Bruno, at least he's not mad this time. Transformation, good job.
Carryann, 2 thumbs up, like a Rockette.
Len, best dance so far
'whew', I was sweating that one.
But we'll see what the scores say. They often don't make sense to me.
Compared with the remarks.
I've been busy this week think up all kinds of bands I know, even if I wouldn't recongize them. Well. I thought of 4 or 5 more. It was productive.
Excellent. 3 8s. Very, very good.
Steve the Apple guy. He really puts everything into this, really doing the samba. Very sincere effort and entertaining performance. Good job and his leg held up.
They all pretty much don't like his dancing, and it isn't very good as dancing goes, but has some positive qualities. I don't know how uch better he'll get very quick, but he's worth staying. Ouch. 2 3's and a 4. I don't remember scores this low. Ever.
So. Did I get Jewel's husband's name wrong? Probably. Typically, that's what I do. I'll have to pay attention. I heard Tony, but I don't know to whom that name refered, or if indeed, Tony was said. My hearing's as odd as my spelling.
Melissa's up.
You know, if they're too good, I'm not so interested. But she's not good enough to fit with the pro women dancers to be a favorite for me.
Len, good musicality
Bruno, easy to love, good to look at (I don't see much life in it)
See? Carryann thinks something's missing.
But Lil' Kim and Ty (I really think it's Ty and Tony refered to the pro with Melissa) are up next so all's good.

publish or perish
Thought I should post that last one before I lost it. Now I'm thinking with gas. Or something. And I'm hungry.
Shawn's up.
If she can relax into a character, she'll do great. That's hard when you're not used to that, but it gives you cover, a place to hide. Fox Trot.
Looks really good. She's used to the on stge under pressure withch really helps. I'm enjoying her dance a lot, and that's half of it.
Carryann: smooth, princess, just great
Len: Lovely arms, fluid, a little hunched, best so far for her
Bruno: beautiful hummingbird.
She did look really good.
3 9s. Really right on scores.
Gilles next. Wonder if I'm spelling his name right yet? Have to watch and see if they put the manes up on screen again.
I almost heard his name this time, but is the final 's' pronounced? It's more like 'Jeels'
Very fun samba however it's pronounced.
Len said it without the final 's'. That's what I'm going with. The British know a lot of French. It's geography. And history. Look it up.
Great remarks, but I wasn't listening so much. Concerned with his name. It's a great name.
Is David next? Think so.

late again
But I was busy. Lego's Star Wars, II. It was important. I did, in all saintliness, end the level sooner rather than completely, so I get points for that. I lost mucho gromits on that move.
The 3rd dance just finished. Denise, Julianne's boyfriend I forgot his name already again, and Holly. I pretty much agree with the judges. I think Holly did do some things really well, although had a slight robot like action at times. But I did think Denise did better than the judges did. Oh, well. The votes go on.
Steve-O's up. Hope his back makes it. I heard that Steve the Apple guy pulled a hamstring. On top of his foot, I really didn't expect him, but he's there tonight. It's the economy. All these injuries. It's the only thing that makes sense.
Fox trot? Needs elegance. Don't know if it was his back, but his body was awkard.
Len, good, but fell apart
Bruno, same
Carryann, supportative
All admire his fighting the back.
3 5s. Guess he just hurt his back again and his ankle. This may be too much for it. Probably makes it worse if he's tense on stage. Just stresses the muscles more.
Lawerence: Looking good, real good. Excellent opening. TThis may be his more natural style. Those athetes are used to working through it.
Bruno: really liked it.
Carryann: good job, can do more
Len: likes his work ethic, more hips
2 7s and a 6. HIgh scores so far, I think, maybe, or at least one of them. Do I know what I'm talking about? Of course not. Really good job, though.

here's the answer
And I'm not happy.
Belinda's off the show. A real shame. Even if I don't know her band.
And I'm glad I can quit blogging now.
Belinda's off the show. A real shame. Even if I don't know her band.
And I'm glad I can quit blogging now.
here's the deal
I'd have to pick Steve in the dance off. But fortunately, I'm not voting. The judges agree with me about his dancing...one of the most entertaining dancers ever. See? Good dancing isn't the whole thing. Good dancing can be a cold thing. No fun at all.
I don't have a clue who's likely to be eliminated. Except that Belinda probably has more fans, but Steve probably has more tech smart fans who can vote lots really fast.

belinda's first, salsa.
Judges liked it better than the first time in parts, but over all they say isn't not so good.
And I don't have a cell phone or anything to text on or call in votes and wouldn't use the phone for voting anyway. Guess I could try the tv site again and see if anything's changed since I couldn't use it last time, but who'd I vote for this time?
Voting can't be done. And I've been in a much better mood since I haven't had to hastle the voting stuff.

Voting can't be done. And I've been in a much better mood since I haven't had to hastle the voting stuff.
Ya, I really enjoyed Denises' quickstep and think she can do really well.
Cchuck. I wasn't impressed with his attitude about the Salsa. He is perhaps too young to know what masculine is. It's about being unafraid - see Ty.
He seems to have the physical ability to do the dances, he's got to get the emotional stuff in control...or out of control since he's got an apparent image problem. Sometimes it's just a maturity thing..see Jerry Springer. Shawn's just honest and self-aware about it. It makes her giggle. Very age appropriate.
Ya, see? Lil' Kim is really good. Good mover, good stage presence, good entertainer. Don't think I ever heard her music. I don't hear a lot of music.
Shawn's another really good one. I don't necessarily like the best dancers. I just like the dancers I like.
I like her.
She can really move. She may have technical issues that I don't see, but they all do since they're all not dancers. I guess except for Melisa who has dance experience.
But even so, it's still largely a popularity contest. Those who have a large following and those who develop one on the show combined with dance ability.
Melisa's up. Really not a favorite. Be interesting to see what happens. Will it be sympathy votes? Will it be her dancing? Can anybody tell for sure?
I'm just not entertained by her dancing as I am with others. I like Holly and Denise a lot better. And I know the judges like her a lot. I never do get the judging.
Gilles. It sounded like Tom said "Jill' for the pronounciation of his name. I'll have o keep lisening to see if I can figure it out. It's a great name, however it's pronounced. I missed his first dance, then really liked his quickstep. It can take some time to get to know people I haven't seen before so I don't know if I like him yet or not.
Oh, Samantha's got a great dress tonight. Like the color a lot.
Ooh...big band stuff. Who's the band? Real good stuff. The pros doing a fourtys style dance. I think. This is very fun. Lots of brass. Looks like they all had fun. I sure did.
Tom is very funny.
So far 2 of my favorites made it to next week. David and Shawn.
Lil' Kim's back.
A dance company's doing a very fund routine, more big band sound, but not 49s necessarily. I wish they'd show the band and singers more, though. Really like this song, too, whatever it is. Great arrangement. Mickey Rooney's there tonight. Talk about a favorite. Is he the best or what? The best is the only answer.
Jewel's singing, Over the rainbow. She's doing real good with it, too.
Wonder who's thinking of Judy Garland?
The thing about dancers is that they have get up close and personsal with total strangers and act like it's pure animal attraction. I guess they get used to it like any job. And they probably don't mind and probably don't take it personally.
Really good song from Jewel and a good dance. I really like this show.
The next computer I get if I get one's gonna be an apple. No more windows. Ever. I've got MSNtv2 which is cheap, but doesn't work lots and lots of internet. The company, MSN, has to add things. Like the newer flash abilities. I can't download. So I can't use the tv sites to vote for Dancing and other sites, whatever.
So, two favorites face the dance-off. Belinda and Steve the Apple guy.
I don't think my favorites have ever won, come to think about it. I'm not the go-to person to predict winners, that's for sure.

Like the newer flash abilities. I can't download. So I can't use the tv sites to vote for Dancing and other sites, whatever.
So, two favorites face the dance-off. Belinda and Steve the Apple guy.
I don't think my favorites have ever won, come to think about it. I'm not the go-to person to predict winners, that's for sure.
early to my party
It's the Go-Gos Belinda was in. Another band I'd heard of, but couldn't recognize them or tell you if I've ever heard their music even if I have and I probably have.
I think Belinda is another favorite. For sure.
But I'm early for the show. Tthe recap of the first two dances is on. And I'm glad to see it especially since I slept through part of it.
I still really like Steve the Apple guy a lot. Steve -O isn't so much a favorite, but he could do with more flexibility, yoga or ballet would help. That's the biggest problem I see with the new dancers. I just don't see the arm stuff and the stepping off the heel or toe deal or whatever that is.
So who are the Pussycat Dolls? Did I make that up or something?
Apple Steve seems to have more flexability than most, just not the innate coordination or natural ability that others have. But he's a tryer and a pleasure to see getting better each week. I sure hope he stays. He's not a blamer.
David Alan Grier - did I spell it right yet? I keep looking closely at his name when I see it, but don't know if I remember the spelling yet. Or if I ever will. He puts fun in the show, and really tries. He's sincere even with the commedy. He's always fun, though, and I've been a fan for a long time. I think it's pollible to like people even if you can't spell their names. Isn't it?
Holly, could do really well with time. She comes across as a very nice girl, too. Likable.

Lil Kim
Low scores for Steve -o.
Good, a quick step. She looks real good to me. Couldn't really see her feet too well, saw Derek more, but that's tv for you.
Bruno loves it
Carry Ann loves it.
Len not so much quality, lots of quantity. No body contact, they all noticed that. Len made the issue of it, but it's part of the dance and should be done right.
They were fun to watch. And she's good.
2 8s and a 7. Still good scores.
So my favorites are Steve, David, Kim and who'd I forget? Oh, maybe Shawn.
Melisa - salsa
They've got really good music this session. She's downplaying her dance experience, but it gives her a background in than kind of movement. It's different than atheletics, it's still dance even if a different kind. It's not as much a transition as others have, many from nothing. Looks like she's a contender.
Judges loved her.
2 9s and an 8.
Another injury. Cheryl's partner, someone else I don't know, Sex int he City actor, hurt his shoulder. His name's Gilles. A fun quickstep. He's got the attitude into stuff. I liked it/
Think I slept through him last week, along with Juliann and maybe somebody else. Oh, ya I woke up when Ty was dancing.
Doing good tonight even with no nap.
3 9s. High score. Didn't catch how to pronouce his name. He'll probably be back. Wonder when the
elimation is? They just said his name and I didn't get what it is. People have to go real slow for me to catch on.

Chuck - don't know him. Thinks salsa moves feminine. Doesn't look female when the guys do it. It's really sexy moves for both. Dancing with Julianne.
Judges not happy. 2 7s and a 6. Good scores for not so good remarks. Never fails. Can't tell what the scores are gonna be at all from remarks.
Just missed Lawerence. Needed Tums. It's my cooking.
Judges liked him, saw improvement. Good. Don't know who Lawerence is at all.
Oh, ya. I know The Dixie Chicks, too. That's 3 groups I know. The Beatles, them and ABBA. Maybe I even know some more if I can think of them. Well, The Judds. My list groweth. That chat might have been in the blog I lost. It was in reference to Belinda who was a singer in maybe The Pussycat Dolls or somebody I know the name of but not the people and couldn't identify any of their songs inparticular although I've probably heard some of them. Like the Eagles. Couldn't point them out, but know I've heard and like their songs.
Lawerence got good scores.
Steve-o out with a back injury. Back next week hopefully. Judging from the dress rehersal tape.
Len not impressed.
Bruno, not impressed - no salsa in the salsa
Carryann - lots of promise, but not so good for a salsa. I think he can dance, but he's got the back injury. Hope it gets better.
Maybe if their mic packs can cause injury, they should use hand held micraphones at the judges' table. It appears to be a real saftey issue. He landed on the one he was wearing and make the back problem worse. I don't think people need micraphones to dance. Do they? Wiser heads than mine make these decisions.

so far
There's nobody I don't like. So far, nobody's an automatic boot for me. Not tonight yet. But do I ever want anyone to leave? Not yet.
Shawn - gonna salsa. I like the quick steps better. Jive, of course, is still the best one. Wonder if the saucy salsa is easier for her emotionaly? She's young. Really, really good moves. She's got the athlete thing going for her.
Bruno wants more naughty and flirty.
Len, needs to let it go, more sauce.
Carry Ann, loved it. Probably the best dancer so far, but still the age thing kinda has her stimied. Hard for her to loosen up and do the sexy stuff. Good for her.
Missed the scores, but high ones, I think.
Steve the apple guy. Quick step, I guess. And he's got a broken foot.
He's havng so much fun that he's a pleasure to watch. Not the best dancer, probably, but would keep right on working at it as best he can He's got half of it down, he's entertaining. And tries to do right.
Judges like him, not the dancing exactly, but the character and charm of his performance.
2 6s and a 5. He's right in there with most of them. I really like him. Think he's on my list of favorites.

Just sent myself to google. Don't know how, but there I was. Lost the blog per usual.
David, good.
Denise, good.
(recaps)
Belinda's up. Looks like she's having fun. Moves pretty well. Enthaustic, energetic. Needs moves smoothed out some. Don't know her. Think she's from the Pussycat Dolls, maybe. Don't know them either. I know 2 bands. ABBA and The Beatles. And have a passing scan of some others I couldn't pick out of a crowd. Like the Eagles. I guess I know the Stones, don't like them much, but certainly know them.
Belinda got 3 6s. Not bad at all. She can do it in time.
Jewel's husband's up next. Ty, something? Well, of course I don't remember. I remember Jewel, don't I? Instead of some tendon pull, turns out she has two broken tibias. How'd that happen? Really awful.
He's a bull rider, you know he's got the courage for most anything. Lots of effort and energy, needs refinement, not a lot of grace yet. Doing good,
Carry Ann, likes him a lot
Bruno, enthusiastc, big improvement.
Len, same, improvment.
Wonder why Len and Bruno seemed so angry at David? Very strange.
Ty, 2 7s and a 6. Top score so far, maybe? did somebody get 3 7s? How well I recall it all. Not a bit.
David, good.
Denise, good.

my votes go to
David Allen Greer, Shawn Johnson, Lil Kim and Steve, the Apple man. Except I slept through some of Dancing with the Stars tonight, so that's not exactly fair, expept that I didn't know the ones I missed anyway. I was really impressed with Lil Kim...good entertainer. David Allen always a favorite of mine. Was he on a Bonny Hunt sitcom? Think so, but I've seen him several places including Clean House, and always liked him a lot. Shawn (or however it's spelt, is so sweet and really has dance potential. Great to watch. Steve the Apple guy is so much fun, has the potential to get better and I'd sure enjoy watching him progress. Has a good attitude for a genius. They're not always so appealing. He does the mental walkthrough for the routines. That kind of thing really works if people would just give it a try. He did a pretty good job, too, for the non-athlete type. Thought Denise Richards did well, too, although she's got some weird kind of posture thing happening. They all need to relax. It must be nerve wracking.
And the best part is seeing the judges and hosts again. I've gotten very fond of them all and it's good to see them. I thought that Jewel's husband did better than the judges did, too. I'll have to read the review to see what's what for this season. Two stars got sidelined with injuries, and the woman from The Bachelor is one replacment, I don't know who the other replacement is. But the one I saw did really good for only 2 days rehersal, although she apparently has dance experience which can only help.
And then there's my list of bitches which as nothing to do with dancing or stars or much of anything much.
