DWTS Season 21, Week 09
Dance Duet REVIEW:
Nick & Sharna, Tamar & Val
Dancing a Cirque
du Soleil Love-themed Rumba to
“Hey Jude” by the Beatles, Nick Carter, Sharna Burgess, Tamar Braxton, and Valentin Chmerkovskiy presented
their Week 09, Show Stopping routine.
“I’m concerned about me dancing with Cirque du Soleil and looking like a Cirque du Soleil Professional Dancer! I don’t want to look like
‘Tamar, the Competition Girl’ dancing with all of these Professional
Dancers. I want to look like I worked
just as hard and you can’t tell the difference!” expressed Tamar during her pre-dance,
Rehearsal Package.
<Popping Lips> Well, Tamar, consider your worst fears realized, as “Tamar the Competition Girl” is exactly how you danced on Monday.

Once again, a slumped Frame, lazy Movement and a
lack of Character Portrayal ruled the major part of your performance and was
combined with a new flaw: dancing out of sync with everyone else, effectively
tainting the entire routine.
I did enjoy the Choreography however; and, I thought that Nick more or less killed it; but, even his old, Haunting Habit of Hunching his shoulders and weakening his Frame reared its ugly head one or two times during the dance.

It was nice, too, that Tamar managed to make it back in
time to the Studio so that Nick &
Sharna wouldn’t have to be judged by their Dress Rehearsal footage!
(I think that it’s pretty plain that, judging by her Contemporary Dress Rehearsal footage displayed earlier in the evening, Tamar would not have fared well at all with this potential outcome, although one can easily imagine that Nick would have done alright … still, it cannot be a fun thing to go through.)
In the end, I found the judges’ scoring of three 9’s for this dance to be entirely too generous and so very obviously the judges’ version of a “Pity Vote” which was a little more than unfair to the Night’s other Competitors!
I mean, Tamar’s reported illness could indeed be seen as “Pitiable”; but c’mon people, that dance rated no more than a 7 or an 8.
But, hey! Don’t make it bad! This Duets’ participants took what very easily could have been a rotten ending to all of their evenings and, through an all around group effort (including Tamar’s unexpected arrival), made it better!
