Babyface & Allison vs. Jana & Gleb – Review of DWTS Face-off, Season 23, Week 03


DWTS Season 23, Week 03
Face-off REVIEW:
Babyface & Allison
vs.
Jana & Gleb



Performing two Jives (We-e-e-ell … “Performing”, at any rate!), Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds & Allison Holker faced-off against fellow DWTS Couple, Jana Kramer & Glen Savchenko in an not-so-hot Battle of the Flicks and Kicks!


Babyface & Allison:


YIKES!!

… “Babyface”, Lead Feet!

Slow, dragging, and just a bit of an epic-downer, Babyface’s non-Jiving-skillz proved a disappointing and uneventful affair, as his much more understated approach to what is a  stereo-typically fast and furious Style of Dance served to lull its Viewers rather than excite them.

Kudos do, of course, go out to Allison on the other hand, whose up-beat and enthusiastic Choreography made sure to keep audiences on their toes …if not her Celebrity Partner!



Jana & Gleb:


Ooo, ouch!!

Well, folks, it would appear that we, the Fans, were doomed to see not one but TWO unmerciful butcherings of that (evidently!) long-lost Ballroom concept, the Jive, as Country Music Singer, Jana’s, decisively more chaotic take on this Dance proved every bit as DISASTROUS as her Contender's!

Spastic, Flat-footed, and – dare I say? – CLUNKY, this particularly painful performance was undoubtedly Jana’s absolute worst to date; and was made even more horribly poignant by her partner Gleb’s misguided attempt to cover up Jana’s obvious lack of Technical ability by adding even more Dance Steps that were little to completely unrelated to an actual Jive, instead of using that same time to better tutor her in the art of Kicks and Flicks!

Sorry, guys!  … Team Glamer is still easily one of my personal favorites within the Competition, so come back and do better, alright?
