DWTS Season 20, Week 09
REVIEW - Judges' Choice Round:
Rumer & Val AND Noah & Sharna
Apparently, they're the
judges for a reason! ...
Rumer & Val:
Kick-starting the all new
Judges' Choice Round, Rumer Willis and her Professional dancing
partner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, were chosen by Judge Bruno
Tonioli to dance the Contemporary (or, "Contemporary Fusion",
as Bruno called it) to "Theme From Swan Lake, Op. 20" by Pyotr
Ilyich Tchaikovsky ... Difficult? ... Yikes!
 |
| Rumer & Val's "Swan Lake" Contemporary S20 Wk09 - Judges' Choice Round. Absolutely stunning! |
Oh, snap! This $#!*
just got real!! The other Semifinalists had better keep on their toes ...
because Rumer certainly did ... and her form was FLAWLESS!
 |

I mean to say, WOW!
There are hardly any words that would do this performance
justice and convey just how spectacular Rumer's dancing was, except,
maybe, to say that Rumer danced like a Professional! Oh! and btw, did anyone else see that amazing Lift at the climax of the
routine!? Seriously!?! That was insane!!
 |
| Rumer & Val's Contemporary Wow! Look at that lift! You guys were amazing! DWTS S20, Wk09 - Semifinals |
Val's choreography was, in
a word, Breathtaking, and a well-deserved shout out simply must and does
go out to DWTS Troupe Members, Jenna Johnson and Lindsay
Arnold, who joined Rumer & Val on stage at the
beginning and end of the routine with some exceptionally mad Ballerina skillz!

This awe-inspiring
performance naturally received rave reviews from the judges and earned Rumer
and Val a perfect score of all 10's!
"If I had my own,
private Leader Board," began Len Goodman, "you are my
highest-marked Couple! ... Bruno, great concept! Val, wonderful
choreography! Rumer, brilliant dancing!".
Julianne Hough
stately elected to fill Bruno's dramatically expressive judging-shoes when she
gushed, "YOU GUYS WERE LIKE AN UGLY DUCKLING GROWING INTO A BEAUTIFUL
SWAN!! ... " Judge Carrie Ann Inaba concluded,
"That was genius!" ... That was what was so great about it,
Rumer: You were able to pull that off. That was a very difficult routine!
... That is the most difficult Lift of all! ... You did it all with
grace and beauty ... Brilliant!"

Noah & Sharna:
For their Week 09, follow
up routine, Noah Galloway and his partner, Sharna Burgess,
were chosen by DWTS Judge Carrie Ann Inaba to dance the Paso
Doble to "Unstoppable" by E.S. Posthumus.

S20, Wk09 - Semifinals - Judges' Pick Round
(BTW, Great Job Carrie-Ann! This Dance was perfect for them!) |
I (friggin'!) loved
this dance!!
Powerful, emoting, and gripping with just the right touch of dark. This incredible, 1½
minute-long performance violently told the tale of Noah's past hardships and
his eventual conquering of them.

Well, first off, hats off
to Carrie Ann, for creating this concept (considering the fact that this routine just blew me away, "hats" and
all!); and secondly, Terrific choreography by Sharna (!); and
finally, Noah's dancing was nothing less than PERFECT (!) and quite literally
rendered me speechless for a moment or two following his performance!
" ... Honestly,
unbelievable concept, Carrie Ann!" exclaimed Judge Julianne Hough,
when opening the judges' critiquing of the dance, " ... That was one of
the best dances I've ever seen you do. The combination of choreography, Sharna,
incredible ... the story, the passion <laying head down on and
clawing desk in
" ... The execution,
the shaping, was absolutely masterful!" added Bruno Tonioli. Head Judge, Len Goodman, put the proverbial cherry on top when
he closed with, "Tonight is the fight for the Finals; and I tell you what,
you came out and gave us a battle! It had all the excitement of the Bull
Fight. You picked out every nuance in the music ... Conceived by Carrie Ann,
Believed by Sharna, and Achieved by Noah!".
 |
| Sargent Noah Galloway totally killed (hacked in pieces, burned the pieces, stomped on the ashes) this Paso Doble!! |
