Annie, that just what I was saying to my DD this morning. David always seemed sad or mad. I couldn't tell which.

For those of you who missed Benji, I wasn't impressed. It seemed way too frenetic and often it seemed off the beat of the music. OTOH, Etta Jammes just tore it up. I think she handed Beyonce her bootie on a platter!

David and Kim were on GMA and he said he lost 28 lbs on the show. As someone said upthread, I would love to see him on DanceCenter in his "2 snaps" outfit giving critiques!!

OK, who is this Benji? I went shopping with my daughter last night and missed the show. Can't believe I missed Etta. So she sang, "At Last"? My ring tone is Etta singing that. Bummer.

Benji won So You Think You Can Dance 2 seasons ago and is the older brother of Lacey.

I never watched So You Think You Can Dance, so had no idea who you were talking about. Etaa sang and looked beautiful. Looks like she's had a little help in the beautiful department, but it looks good on her. Good for her.

Benji was a guest on DWTS last year, dancing a terrific number with sister Lacey. Last year they really seemed to talk his number up in advance.

LOL...I thought that Etta had 'had a little work done' myself - and MORE POWER TO HER! Was she on a scooter?

She walks with a cane but it looked like maybe she was just on a chair? And I forgot to thank you for the link, Rslover.

To me she sounded like "boop bedoop bebobbly doop." self-indulgent in-joke for TiVo users

Etta James sounded wonderful! I hope I still sound that good when I'm 71. I'm sure she's had quite a lot of work done, she used to weigh 400 plus pounds and had gastric bypass when she was 60, she lost over 200 pounds. She's used a wheelchair for many years, doesn't stop her from singing great tho.

I loved watching Benji - his partner was very cute and a good skill-match for him, too! I watched it three times. His spins toward the end are amazing - that boy is FAST! I love his choreography - such unusual and unexpected moves (like using his foot to "spin" his partner!)

Benji won SYTYCD in 2006.. just looked him up.. had no idea he was born in Newport Beach, CA (where I went to HS) and was raised Mormon (interesting since the Houghs were too, I think) and that he and Lacey are also related to David Schwimmer And that Heidi (who was on SYTYCD and had a style as frenetic as Lacey's on the next season) is a cousin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benji_Schwimmer

So Shawn & Mark (8,9,9) and Melissa & Tony (9,9,9) have both danced the rumba and done well. I wasn't blown away by either. Anxious to see Gilles & Cheryl.

Yeah, and Lawrence & Edyta. Neither were great. I'm just looking at probably top three. Anxious to see Gilles & Chery who are my favs. Next season when Julianne is gone, I think Chelsie will be "the blonde". She can fill that role. I do like her. Then there's Kym too.

I was surprised that Carrie Ann and Bruno gave Lil Kim 10s because I thought there was a point in the middle that she lost her place for a few points and waited on Derrick to help her pick back up. I would have given them a 9 because of that hiccup.

Gilles & Cheryl's jive 9,8,9 Cristian de la Fuente was in the audience. I think Tom said he is going to be on Brothers & Sisters.

Tom -- he's so funny. Len made comment that Chuck & Julianne's dance was too raunchy, etc. (Carrie Ann and Bruno liked it). So Tom says (paraphrased), "Therapist is going to look at Len and say there's a cash cow."
