Just saw the first show on ABC, they showed the auditions and the final 14 contestants' first performance.

Yes, they have some good talents and we will see how they will develop.
 
I watched it, but it wasn't flooring. I won't go crazy if I miss an episode. It will be interesting to see what Bruno and Carrie Ann do with their contestants . . .
 
I completely forgot about it until about 40 minutes in.

My initial reaction was "If ABC can get the rights to 'Let's Get Loud,' why are there so many terrible songs on DWTS?!?!???"

Other than that, I thought it was okay.

On the plus side, I was glad the show didn't spend as much time ridiculing people who aren't good as "So You Think You Can Dance?"

On the negative side, there wasn't much in the way of impressive dancing in the part I saw. I realize this was only week 1, but on "So You Think You Can Dance?" there was plenty of super impressive dancing even during the tryouts. The group number with all 14 had very little dancing, it seemed to me, which made me wonder if this contest will really be more about singing than dancing.

I might watch it again, but I also might not.
 
BAsed on the performance.. I'm not sure why is called Dance War.... Sing War may be more appropiate....

A very good singer with ok dancing skills could have done it, the performance does not seem to require them to have a lot of dancing skills.
 
so i don't get it...do we get to vote on people? and are they choreographing or is someone else coming in every week? And it does not look too promising, but maybe as the weeks go on it will be better.

Maybe ABC cut a deal with JLo since she was on the show live to use that number. Did they use it on Dance War? I don't have television and don't know if I will bother to have anyone to tape it.

They did use the song and it was rough to hear when the different dancers took their turns singing.

Overall I was disappointed with the level of dance skill on this show but clearly Bruno and Carrie Ann aren't looking for SYTYCD-level ability. However there are a few people that stand out like the dentist that chachabelle pointed out and one blonde, whose name I can't remember, that did a back handspring, in high heels, during the debut performance of the top 14. I'm sure I'll learn their names later.
 
I missed the first show, can't recall why, and the concept seems bland. Tried watching the second show, but couldn't get past Bruno's and Carrie Ann's opening comments, and the hype seems so fake, too. :(
 
I watched part of the show this week. I wasn't impressed with the level of talent or with the format. I doubt I'll watch it much.
 
I tried to watch it this week and could only stand about 10 minutes. The screaming from the audience was annoying. When the camera panned the audience I did not see anyone cheering, so whomever is adding that horrible noise needs to stop. Doubt I will watch again.
