DWTS Season 9 Finale

I... really... want to vote for Kelly, but figure Donny has a better chance of winning.

I cannot, however, get through on Donny's line! Busy all the time.

The results are going to be interesting. :)
 
It was interesting. All this hype about the whole thing resting on the freestyle, then Dimitry wants to play it safe, and Mya wants to go wild and be creative. It was so safe it was boring, like so bad it seemed almost set up to make Mya look bad.
What do you think?

Also, Donny's routine was perfect. Excellent choreography, a feel good routine.

So now I feel that if Mya were to lose to Donny I could stand it because of this one dance.
But it shouldn't be about one dance.
 
Just caught the finally online. I was so disappointed, especially with Kelley. I actually thought Louis did a great job choreographing that freestyle but she just messed up the lifts and forgot a bunch of it. BUT, I'm not gonna pretend like I know what it feels like to dance in front of millions live. Loved Donny's freestyle. I think he will win because he has SUCH a huge fanbase. And I normally adore Kym but I dunno what happened to her in their Cha Cha. She's supposed to be the pro. It almost looked like her shoes did not fit right or the heels were too high.
 
I know it's "freestyle", but of the three, I actually liked Kelly's routine best. Yes, she messed up at times, but her routine actually had the most partner dancing. It seemed like the other dancers spent most of their time apart. I like to see the dancers dance as a unit, not just in unison.
 
I was impressed by Kelly's Argentine, actually. :) She really has come a long way. That was not an easy thing, tackling an unfamiliar dance, and for the final evening! I was relieved to see how chemistry and performance were addressed, because Kelly was not advised to be hostile, angry, constipated, etc.

Agreed. I found the lack of almost any partnering in the other two routines rather annoying. I also resent the impression given that any of the judges (other than Len) are in any way qualified to offer any technical ballroom "coaching" (e.g. as portrayed by Bruno's "help" during Donny's cha cha lesson/practice footage).

I missed the show yesterday, but I agree that Kelly has something..... Maybe it runs in her family, but I am quiet impressed with her performances so far.
 
I actually liked her and Donny's Cha Cha, simply because it actually LOOKED like cha cha. I mean, routines with recognizeable figures done at a level appropriate to the dancer on DWTS?

And I am more than happy to give him the mirror ball for his freestyle alone. Classy, entertaining, well-danced.

I really don't know where Mya's freestyle was going. It was about as blandly predictable a number for that song as you can get. And can they PLEASE stop costuming every female who is less than a size 6 as a dominatrix for the Paso Doble?

Many people (myself included) kinda groaned when they heard Kelly Osbourne was on DWTS. Figured she'd be lazy and whiney and gone right away. Then I found out she was paired with Louis, and he's not one to take crap from anyone. But in the end it seems like they both learned a lot from each other -- him in that personal growth and accomplishments can be more fulfilling than "perfect" dancing; and her in that she had a lot of mental issues to get over, and ultimately she did. That freestyle was a joy to watch, screw-ups and all. You could see how proud he was of her each week, and unlike some other stars, she didn't whine and pout over a low score when she knew she deserved it.

Thank you and123!!! I am actually not a big fan of the show and have missed a lot of past seasons. So, had no clue about Luis's personality and how he has been featured on the show. I agree you about Kelly. Most of her images came from the MTV show. A spoiled brat, but was quiet surprised to see her mature behaviors on DWTS.
