Eliminated tonight: Cody and Julianne
No surprised tonight, as Cody and Julianne “get their marching orders” as Len predicted Monday night. Tonight’s results show was packed with performances. The best was John Legend doing his neo-soul thang performing his new single, “Green Light”, as dancing girls shimmied around him. Aretha Franklin has seen better days, but hey, she’s the Queen of Soul! I’m not going to bitch. Julieanne Hough should stick to dancing. I’ll just leave it at that.
In case anyone cares, the finals of the kids competition took place between Kirill and Hannah, Mitchell and Maria and Craig and Samantha during the 8 pm recap show. We’ll find out who wins next week.
Video and Live Re-cap after the JUMP…
The show opens with Aretha Franklin performing “Chain of Fools”. The pros dance their asses off. Aretha can’t hit those high notes like she used to, but she still is, you know, the Queen of Soul. Aretha will be back later to sing “Respect.” She has a Christmas album out right now. Performing with her are Karina Smirnoff, Anna Trebunskaya, Dmitry Chaplin, and Louis Van Amstel.
Now it’s time for a recap of last night’s dances. La, la la…
After the break, Leona Lewis sings “Bleeding Love”. Maks and Karina dance!
Scores recap is next. Lance and Lacey have the biggest lead ever in the semi-finals.
Each of the judges choose a contestant pair to talk up. At this point everyone’s a winner! Well, not really.
Julianne Hough performs “My Hallellujah Song” Julianne suddenly has a southern accent! Lacey, Mark and Derek dance along. She taped this a few weeks ago, pre-surgery, just as she was about to collapse into a writhing ball of pain.
After Julianne’s video, Samantha interviews the contestants, without their pros, backstage.
Neo-soul singer, John Legend, says working with choreography is going to be “a little like working on American Bandstand with a little Soul Train.” Legend is up after the break. He performs “Green Light” from his new album Evolver.
Next up, a video featuring contestant family members.
Aretha Franklin is back to sing “Respect”. Reigning champions Kristy Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas dance.
Another video features more trash talking contestants!
Fi-na-ly the results begin:
Safe and making it to the Finals

- Brooke and Derek – Lost those points…
Cody and Julianne and Warren and Kym are in jeopardy.
