How disappointing. I was nervous though when I saw her dance early and everyone after her got more praise. I also should of know that DWTS was messing with me when they showed Joanna and Aaron in jeapordy, I was so happy that one of them might go. Very frustrating, I think I'm goung to stop watching until they get the boot. Wow, I predicted that Natalie would go all the way last week. How disappointing.

Sounds like a GOOD Top 4 to me. Edit to Add: We have just been informed that Michael Jackson's children did watch the tribute last night. Their favorite dancer is Donny! Yes, Mya and Dmitry are hot, hot, hot!

A quick glance at a show that covers multiple styles of dance like SYTYCD will show you that just because a person has years of training in one of those styles does not automatically make you this fantastic ballroom dancer. I've read a lot about Dancing with the Stars (I get bored at work, what can I say.), and as far as I have seen, Mya has had NO ballroom training. So, nothing unfair about her being trained, IMO. Other past contestants have had dance training too - Brooke Burke, Mel B, Melissa Rycroft, Kristi freaking Yamaguchi. Having trained in other styles only gives her an edge in work ethic and picking up choreography pretty easily - the same edge that athletes and singers/performers/boybanders have. So yeah. Don't see why she's any different. Mya/Dmitry, Mark/Lacey, and Kelly/Louis are my favorites. Mya and Dmitry have had some of the sexiest, steamiest dances in the HISTORY of DWTS, IMO, so I'm at a loss about them leaving people "cold" or whatever. Mark and Lacey I like because they seem to work really hard and as I said the other night, Lacey seems to generally give him difficult choreography that he does his damndest to do something with. Plus he's growing and improving. Kelly and Louis I just love because they are so much FUN. Plus I know if she'd just let down her guard and quit being so damn self-concious and nervous out there, she'd be great, because she's got some natural talent. Anyway - a top 4 of Donny/Kym, Mya/Dmitry, Mark/Lacey, & Kelly/Louis would be fine with me. And no worries about Mya winning. Donny Osmond was winning this season of DWTS ever since the cast was announced and he was listed in it.

If that's true it's unfair to the others and I hope she doesn't win. I just read at another site that Mya has professional dance experience as a dancer and choreographer.

They had the most ambitious choreography this week and danced it well...the solo was a good call and a butterfly twist (in dance heels no less) aint easy. I think Mark might make it to the finale if he can keep the momentum going now and not backslide into the middle of the pack again.

Wouldn't it be refreshing, original, unexpected, and unscripted to vote on, i dunno, say, talent & performance? It's like VFTW is running the voting for this show... I find it interesting that ppl didn't vote for Natalie bcuz of "lack of personality". Ironically, she seemed like the only normal/sane one of the bunch, having natural reactions to her situations. Like being embarrased to be overly romantic with another woman's husband is normal. She's the only one I could imagine actually befriending. By talent & performance, Mya is an order of magnitude better than anyone else there. I've never watched DWTS before, but the lack of competition is making this boring, and the voting patterns is making this rather silly.

Showing hes been in the spotlight since he was young hes kinda got that Child Beauty pageant attitude. You can tell when he's always looking at the camera. He's a good dancer, tall and elegant, I wish Karina would work on his facial presentation. What do I know. Everytime some one says Melissa's name I have to back and see who the heck they are talking about, I keep thinking of Melissa from last year, from the Batchlorette. I voted for Natalie to go home, as soon as I saw her costume, and her dancing to a non Latin song, it just didnt fit, and left me cold. Joanna can go, BYE,BYE. The top three should be the top three they had on first, I'm ok with that. I think its a close race this year, no one is great or standing out every week like other years. We may see some surprises.

The women are at huge risk in the voting, pretty much always, unless they have a huge built-in fanbase. Whereas the guys can get away with a lot more. Happens every season, doesn't it?

Oh well. However, I loved, loved, loved Nora Jones and Anna and Jonathon's dance was beautiful and romantic. So sweet that that was their wedding song, too.

IMO she had potential. Although I don't understand how anyone <em>couldn't</em> develop chemistry with Alec! Edyta even gave her consent! :lol: For me the bottom four should have been Michael, Louie (even though I like him and Chelsea), Melissa, and Aaron. While I don't care for the excessive fawning over Donny he has turned out to be a better dancer than Marie (who lasted much longer than she should have). But still not worthy of 10s when Mya is only getting 9s. His ballroom is much better than his Latin. Mya is far and away the best dancer of the lot. Whether it's fair that she has some sort of dancing background when the others don't is a different matter. Disappointed the Natalie was sent home. IMO she had potential.

Her dance this week was oddly uninspiring, and I don't care what you say about Aaron, Karina was absolutely wonderful this week and she deserved to stay. Honestly Michael and Louie should really be out next, even though Chelsie and Louie are so cute together. Louie just cannot dance, and Michael is one step above him.

Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. Popularity and name recognition is as important and probably even more than talent. Personality is also important and that's where I think Natalie lost points because she's so reserved. I really liked her dancing and she was one of my favorites but I worried that she'd go early. There are a few others that should have gone first imo and I'd have had her in my top 4. At this point my favorite is Donnie partly because I like him and partly because I think he's pretty good. Best technically is Mya but she leaves me cold. I really like Kelly and hope she can hang in there. I also like Melissa because she's someone who's working really hard to do well without the natural talent some of the others have.

Natalie has a presentation of elegance, and you could tell how disappointed she was. I was too. I have mentioned that being a star on SYTYCD does help as far as having a fan base going into the show. Dmitry and Lacey are most deserving of going on. Chelsie is such a talented dancer; Louie is not. It would not have been fair to Joanna to leave this week, but I just don't like her. I have felt Michael to be a weak contestant; football fans do not. Aaron did such a nice job this week that I felt he deserved to return. As we know, the best dancer doesn't always win.
