Again, tonight was a show of stand out performances, and some that were complete misses for me. Even for a writer, it’s hard to put into words when something is visually stunning – like Nigel last week telling Twitchinton that it was ‘really, really, good…” in an awed whisper. So I’m not going to try and describe the dances themselves, but I will put the stand out performances here via youtube. As long as they’re up there, of course.<\/p>\n

Once again, Katee and Joshuah were fanfreakingtastic. This week they did broadway, and it was everything that I envision Broadway to be – energetic, fun, heartfelt, real, lively, beautiful. Loved. It.<\/p>\n

Courtney and Gev get a contemporary routine by Mandy Moore, and it’s absolutely stunning – another homerun – the judges weren’t so blown away, not believing the emotional connection, but honey, _I_ believed it. Guess I’m not so coldhearted after all…<\/p>\n

Another stand out dance for me of the night was the waltz danced by Twitch and Kherington. It was choreographed as a tribute to the disabled daughter of Jean-Marc and it was just stunningly awesome and beautiful – I loved everything about it, right down to the fact that they danced it in bare feet instead of shoes\/heels. Just breathtaking.<\/p>\n

(Fast forward to about 7:40, then the dance finishes in the second one. Sorry, best I could find.)

Chelsie and Matt’s Tango was also fantastic – traditional and a bit sleazy, though Nigel wanted more sleaze. You dirty boy, Nigel, you.<\/p>\n

There were as many misses, and I doubt I’ll be surprised by who ends up in the bottom three couples. Assuming that America thinks the same way I do, of course! We’ll find out tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
