Do they all not live up to the level they showed in the past weeks or is it me, am I too critical today?

No, I agree with you. Maybe they are all just tired, especially since they had to learn a group dance too this week. I'm watching Cameron right now and this has to be one of the least energetic Sambas I have ever seen. I hope they aren't too burned out.
 
Jane's jive seemed to lack a bit of jump to it, seemed off on the music in places, and she didn't strike me as being much better than the other two ladies so far.
 
Again I did not see what the judges saw.

I thought that was Cameron's best dance so far, at least for me. He did not only pose but actually did some dancing and to me it looked like samba dancing, he surprised me.

And like Carrie Ann I got the spirit of the dance. Samba comes from the "jungle", has African roots, so why does that bother the judges?

You guys who are Latin ballroom dancers tell me...

Exactly. It wasn't latin Ballroom. It was more (or less) Brazilian Samba which is a lot different.

Not a bad routine but a little quiet in places.
 
Ok, Mel's rumba was very good. There was one spot where I sensed she and Maks were slightly off and she seemed to rush her steps to catch up. Her motions were much more rumba like then what we typically see from the stars, and yet it didn't seem complete.
 
Was Mel B's dance a Rhumba? I failed to see anything I recognized, but I'm an amateur. Maybe it was the music. I failed to hear a rhythm I recognized. How the heck did she get 30 points?
 
sabrina's foxtrot - too sharp pour moi

samba - not enough energy

jive - too quiet

mambo - again -- too weak.
 
I liked most of Marie's Paso. :cool:

...

Helio's song seemed more like a hustle.

And how much cha-cha was in the routine? :roll:
 
My scores this time ...

I'd give the following scores so far ...

Mel ... 9
Marie ... 9
Sabrina ... 8
Helio ... 8
Jennie ... 8
Jane ... 8
Cameron ... 7
 
On the plus side, as far as the TV audience will likely judge, Jennie and Helio seemed to be enjoying themselves a bit more this week, which translates into smiles during the dance, which means more votes.

Helio had his megawatt smile going. Jennie did get that frighten/nervous look a couple of times, but was actually smiles for the most part. What do that have to do with dancing ability? We'll forgive more when the "performer" appears more relaxed/confident.

yup. Nice funky song but I did not see the song's mood translated well into helio's dancing. He needed a toned down song for the way he was moving...

And I must admit that I did like marie's paso quite a bit...
