I am a CW fan and I know for a fact it was Trisha's version of the song that was played non stop in the CW radio stations. Just saying cause Wiki made it sound as if Leaann's was the most popular...it wasn't at least not here in the states. Of course, Trisha has her own scandles what with her and Garth singing that duet "In Anothers Eyes" while Garth was still married to his wife, after all the rumors of Trisha and Garth's affair, but before Trisha and Garth got married. I know this is off topic BUT I thought that was so RUDELY IN YOUR FACE when they came out with that duet...that seemed to be all about their affair...while Garth was still married. Very insensitive and crass in my opinion. Back on topic...Dance Center was hilarious, hope it comes back sometime in the season...Kimmel had gotten boring and ridiculous. WOW Sabrina and her partner engaged! Well dancing is quite sensual and intimate. LOL Beachcomber...."and I was the remote control"....I remember those days...I believe it was Bonanza every Thursday night.

I was just teasing about the Dolly/Whitney song...I have always loved Dolly's version of it more, but like I said, Dolly made a fortunate off of Whitney singing it and I'm sure she didn't cry off her mascara...LOL! I didn't realize that Diane Warren had written the song and that LeeAnn had recorded it first. While Trisha's version was much more popular on C&W stations LeeAnn's was a huge crossover hit and played on more top 40 type stations. Artists record the same song all the time. The songwriter very rarely protects a song for a single artist, because he or she gets paid each time it gets recorded. They'd be silly to protect a song for an individual artist. I sure would love to be Diane Warren...don't you know she made a fortune on that single song! The thing about "How Do I Live" is that it just happened to be released by two successful singers in the same genre at around the same time. Wasn't Trisha still married to her husband also? And didn't the same general thing happen with Amy Grant and Vince Gill? The thing about Trisha and Garth is that they supposedly had an affair back before he was a huge star when they were touring together but he and his wife reconciled...and then years later they ended up having another affair...anyway, that's the dirt that I remember at the time.

When is Marie going to have time to work on two dances? Maybe . . . especially due to the writers strike ABC could extend the season 5 by a week. This coming Monday and Tuesday could just be dancing for fun, etc., etc.

I would think that DWTS is one of the few shows that doesn't need much input from writers. Tom B is good enough that he can ad lib himself and it is obvious that Samantha can't even read so how much worse can her dialogue be? Apparently their pros travel with them while they are doing their "normal" routine so what difference is there this week between Marie and Jane when her mother died, except that Jane had to fly to England whereas Marie is still in the states. Not that I don't have sympathy for Marie. It would be very nice if she didn't have to deal with DWTS while this family drama is going on, but as long as she chooses to continue then she will have to dance. Hopefully she will be able to do something that might be on the "easier" side.

The Osmonds were on Oprah today. I guess that was taped a day or two ago. Marie and Jonathan danced their jive number. So he is with her and they must be working on Monday's dances whenever they can get a little time.

It was taped yesterday Color - and Inside Ed Entertainment Tonight etc had clips of it on their shows yesterday - and Maries partner did say he was going to be traveling with Marie - about the writer's strike - I think some of it depends on their contracts as well - there are actors that are having a hard time crossing picket lines - Julia Louis Dreyfess mentioned that - and of course she wouldnt be crossing picket lines - also Ellen DeGeneres wanted to stop filming - and not cross a picket line but apparently her contract is specific - so she taped a show due to air Friday/today that mentions it a bit... so not sure how DWTS will handle it, but I'm sure they are of the camp "The show must go on" and that was Marie - the way she was raised - her father was strict when she and Donny had the variety show... You sure could see a difference in her weight and dance from her first dance to her jive!! WOW!! Jane Seymor talked about her fan based - it was so large I'm surprised she didnt make it to the end... (she mentioned all the shows she was on, etc etc...) (ok that was a tad bit sarcastic, as I am a huge Jane fan - but when she talked about all her Somewhere In Time fans - and I am - I thought that might be stretching it a bit - but then, I didnt think Jenny Garth had that large of a fan base either - - so what do I know - but how can Marie have a smaller fan base with over 100 Osmond and their friends and inlaws calling in??? (just thinking outloud)

I'm another Dance Center fan....loved it. Well written, and even better was the delivery. Flawless (unlike Kenny's dancing...lol.) And I liked that they made fun of things, but didn't cross the line to mean. Hopefully this will be a recurring thing. I know....get rid of Samantha and replace her with Kenny! I think Mel B is the best dancer left at this point. I still have my soft spot for Jennie and Helio, though, and would prefer one of them to win. Marie...I have grown up with her around so wouldn't be mad about her either. And used to watch AMC so like Cameron, too. OK...once again I am wishy washy and am OK with everyone winning. I like it best when I have a clear favorite.

Pamy, that just is Kenny. This is how he is all the time. He's very dry in his delivery and his stilted speech patterns make his jokes even funnier. He is very uncoordinated in his movements too. Plus, he's very sports smart. :-)

There may be other on the show who won't cross the picket line...musicans, camera persons, lighting. They probably are all union members and will go out in solidarity. It can happen.

They did two shows last week while the strike was going on, so it doesn't look like it is hindering this show at all. In this age of reality shows, talent shows, and prime time game shows a strike may not have been the wisest tactic to choose. Just when scripted TV was starting to take some of its ground back, they go on strike.

At any time any other union can decide not to cross the picket line. I sure hope they don't though.

The strike only began last week. Other unions hadn't yet decided whether or not to cross the picket line, as OG mentioned. If actors are joining the line out of solidarity, other unions will, too.

Jennie and Derek were on Ellen today. They did the mambo. Did a good job. Jennie looked like she was having fun. I really enjoyed it. I don't remember seeing that dance before, but sometimes my memory . . . . Would they do a dance before doing it on DWTS?

Jennie and Derek did the mambo two weeks ago. That was when she came out and, according to the judges, was really "hot." (I didn't agree.) That was the week of the group dance, before they went to two new dances for each couple each week.

I thought that was Edyta and Maksim in that commercial, and Alec dancing with someone else and saying "He went to Jared!"

Didn't like Cameron's comment (though said with a smile, I think he was serious) early in the show that the nines he scored last week were good, but he deserved tens. He can go.

Ahem, is it just me or were Cameron's assets that obvious to everyone else. I am talking about the 2nd dance...

Yep Sisalou, I noticed them too. (blush) I loved Edyta's pink dress. I was raving about it and drove dh bonkers. LOL Her dress was simply devine. I loved the way it swirled around her like a princess. Wow.

First round: Jennie & Derek / Jive 8 8 8 Cameron & Edyta / Viennese waltz 9 9 9 (Len commented on Cameron's "costume". He was wearing gray tails, but the shirt was unbuttoned down to there. Should have been wearing a bow tie.) I liked Edyta's pink dress. Marie & Jonathan / rumba 8 8 8 (Judges commented generally on both her dances tonight that they were too simple -- not enough content. I'm thinking maybe she didn't have so much time to work on them this week?) Helio & Julianne / paso doble 9 9 9 (Me: Not 10s???) Mel & Maks / tango 9 9 9

Mameblance, I am glad I wasn't the only one. I loved Edyta's dress too and she has always been one of my favorites.
