'Dancing with the Stars': Tuesday's results
Tonight during Dancing with the Stars, I felt like I was watching American Idol. The show was jam-packed with singers; Aretha Franklin and John Legend performed. Also singing was Julianne Hough, and I have to say, I was impressed. She has got a great set of pipes. I should also mention that amid all this singing and dancing, Kristi Yamaguchi, last year's winner and dancing queen, performed with former partner Mark Ballas.
After about 55 or so minutes, many of which bored me to tears (pleeeeease ABC, a shorter results show next season?), the hosts finally announced the results. Lance and Lacey and Brooke and Derek were proclaimed safe first (no surprise there!), and then Julianne and Cody were sent home (again, no surprise there!). That means Warren and Kym are the final couple in the finale.
I somehow missed the cute ballroom-dancing kids. Darn.
Here's hoping that next week's results show is a bit more thrilling. Perhaps Cloris Leachman will be back? I'll return with a recap of next week's dancing Monday. (By the way, I'm a DWTS newbie ... what are these "freestyle" dances that the couples are working on?) Till then, I'll leave you with my favorite dance of this season.

I didn't see any cute kids either--maybe they postponed that until next week's finale?
But seeing Mark and Kristi dance together as Aretha sang reminded me that other seasons have been so much better than this one!

I just watched the last few minutes.. watching NCIS and flippping back to dancing with the stars every once in awhile..didn't want to see all the "pop" stars.. The show is dancing with the stars... not tune in to see old singers.. vulger singers, and why would we want to see Yamagoochi again.. and again.. and again... ice skating is nice.. I saw her dance too much last season... as the judges sang her praises.. naturally a professional ice skater will be able to dance better than anyone else.. doesn't she have anything else to do? I am not sure if am going to watch next season.. by the way.. I watch NCIS then change over to see the results.. I refused to see yamagoochi any more... last night I missed the final results and find it more pleasant to just read the results

ABC had a great idea for a show. Dancing with the stars is great. I love it. But being a hog about prime tiem for 2 nights (against two and a half men and then ncis ant the mentalist) is just plain stupid. One hour on Monday and maybe 30 minutes on a wednesday might be tolerable. But I won't watch it again for 3 1/2 hour. The results show is a loser.
