The intended artist was Gloria Estefen and her mother became ill on Monday so she had to fly back to Miami.

Okay, so I rescind the use of the word "bailed." And I would have liked to have seen her...she's an amazing performer.

She is. I had the pleasure of seeing her in a private concert years ago and it's still one of the best shows I have ever seen!

Whoa hang on there -- Sabrina is not a dance pro, she has not danced professional (inthe sense of the word) and she did not got to a "dance school". She went to Esperanza High School (public h/s in So. Calif) and was on their varisty pep squad team for 2 or 3 years. Thats (POM dance with jazz in-between). She was taught and dances hip hop very well, just from what her Disney movie experience gives her.

I like her, I think she is doing a great job. Yeah, maybe she has had some "H/S team" competitive experience -- BUT POM dance is ALOT different than Ballroom. Give her a break --

Didn't Sabrina go to Chapman University? Perhaps she had exposure to dance there. Nonetheless this is a non-issue as far as her appearance on this show is concerned. I've never heard that their requirements is that the entertainment star not have some dance experience...just that they not be a professional ballroom dancer.

On So You Think You Can Dance the judges usually comment on how difficult it is for the contestants to do the ballroom dances if they come from another genre. I don't have a problem with the boyband or girlband contestants on this show for that reason. Just 'cause you may be good at one, doesn't mean you're good at the other.

Did anyone else notice the lighting blooper last night??

Just as the first couple (I forget who at the moment) was announced as safe the light went out on Mark and his partner then came immediately back on. It then went out on the first couple. I said to my partner that Mark would be the first one safe the next go around, and sure enough. I suspect it was a lighting cue error but still telegraphed that Mark would be safe.

On another note: Wasn't Wade Robson involed with the whole Michael Jackson scandal?? Seems I remember his name from back then. Not to mention that his face looked familiar as well. While I did enjoy his troupe's performance I couldn't help but think that so many of those moves could have been done by MJ himself. Just what is Robson's claim to fame anyway???

I love Wade Robson - I think he's a genius!!! I love all the dances he choreographs on SYTYCD. He had a show on MTV a number of years ago also. It was fun watching him perform - the synchronicity of the dancers and complexity of the dance was awesome.

What I recall about him is that as a little boy, he loved to watch MJ's video's and imitated him. Michael saw him do his act, and I think he put him in another video. When MJ was tried, Robson testified, but said although he slept in MJ's bed many time from about age 8 - 13, nothing ever happened.

Per Wikipedia: Wade Robson - He has confirmed that he has slept in the same bed with Jackson, but he denies that anything inappropriate has happened. Wade's mother, Joy, admitted in cross-examination, that her son went missing for three days with Jackson, causing the police to get involved. But, like the sleepovers, she was confident this was all innocent and her son confirmed it.

Thanks everyone, I was trying to figure out why I would be interested in seeing Wade Robson since I have never even heard of him. Plus I happened to click back in for his number and was trying to figure out "what is the point of this" and what does it have to do with DWTS. I now see he was just a performing guest.

I wondered who had dropped out of the show as soon as they had the back up singers performing, LOL. Hope Gloria's mom is better, I would have loved to see her.

ITA, this should be a half hour show, seems silly to drag out to an hour. I don't ever sit and watch the whole thing, usually flip back and forth with the remote.

I got to go to the taping last night (I got tickets for my dad's birthday to see Gloria Estefan-- he is a HUGE fan and we decided to go anyway even though I had heard she wasn't going to be there). I will say, in defense of Wayne Newton (who I am not necessarily a fan of!) they pre-taped his performance twice-- the first time was quite a bit better than the second time, but there were apparently some of the crew in the shots and they had to re-do it. Wayne sounded nowhere near as good in the second performance (and I thought Drew and Cheryl weren't as good, either-- the first time they did it had a LOT more energy) but that was the one that aired.

They also pre-taped Wade's performance. (that was actually the first thing, then it took about 1/2 hour to take the set down)

Pretty interesting although I'm sorry we missed our chance to see Gloria (although my dad's seen her a ton in concert). The backup singers sounded much better live than they did on TV, as well.

Thanks for sharing Justin! It's always interesting to hear the behind the scenes stuff.

I'm amazed at the talent this season, they're all very very good. I think Cameron and Edyta are great, but the judges seem to like Sabrina a lot. I would have difficulty in choosing the winner. I'd rather have Marie go out before Jane and Tony.

Ladyw.. another "local".. isn't Sabrina originally from Yorba Linda? And she is going to Chapman now .

I don't find myself totally rational about who I like. I see such talent in Sabrina, but I just don't like her (don't dislike her greatly either, just don't enjoy watching her) and I do think her scores are kind of elevated. MelB leaves me cold, just personality wise. Floyd's partner was a sour turnoff to me so I cannot evaluate her talent.

I give props to Jane and to Marie, undoubtedly beyond their actual performances, but I think they are doing well.

Mark seems better than his scores.

Helio and partner are just so cute!

I had to ff thru Wayne's singing .. ack!

And yes, this is a show where I do ff ing at will.. too long.

And yet, the overall talent level is very good this year..

Love this show!!! It seems that the ones who should be going, are going. I enjoy most of the ones who are left, my favorites are Jane and Marie, but I don't see either one winning. Mark's facial activity was very distracting too me. It was much easier to watch him this week.

When I was at Chapman, 87-91, there was a dance program there. Actually I just checked and there still is. That doesn't mean she is involved in it, but anyone can take a class or two in basic dance.

She's losing weight so fast from dancing and I bet she isn't eating near enough. A dancer needs to eat like an athlete. Dancers are athletes.
