soap box Friday

Dancing with the Stars this week...what did you think? Steve Gutenberg was eliminated this week. I was cracking up watching his partner Anna. Was it just me or did she look like she was being tortured every time he opened his mouth? Speaking of opening their mouths, this is really starting to get on my nerves. Between DWTS and American Idol, I really wish these people would take the constructive criticism and walk off the stage. I catch myself shouting at the TV while I'm watching, "The judges aren't voting for you, the public is. We vote for your singing (or dancing), not how well you argue with the judges." Between holding up their fingers with numbers (yes we know which number to call, it's right underneath you) and talking far too much...it drives me crazy. I'll step off my soapbox and keep watching :)

Kristy Yamaguchi and Mark are so dang good, no one can touch them. It's almost boring because they are that good. I've said it before but I have to say it again, Julianne and Derek are the best choreographers on that show, hands down. Being a great dancer is one thing but being a good choreographer is another. They work with their partners strengths and are always creative.

We are staying busy with spring activities, school stuff and enjoying this nice spring weather before the heat sets in. 'The calm before the storm' I always say...

I completely understand what you are saying....listen to what they are saying! It has become so bad on American Idol that I don't even really watch it anymore! I really wonder if Kristy Y. will get the trophy though....she is perfect on steps...but last time it was won on performance...so we will see!
