I haven't watched it yet but I think Len enjoys putting on the curmudgeonly act. It's his shtick.

I didn't think Donny was "adorable" at all. I thought for the most part, most of the guys were very stiff and awkward. None of them really stood out as "uh oh watch out, he's going all the way." Which just means we get to enjoy watching them improve. Which they need. A lot!

I wasn't too impressed with the men last night. I thought Donny did the best out of the bunch. I thought they were supposed to be theatrical, it was that type of song. I agree with one of the earlier posts about the music and singers not being all that great and not matching the style of dance. It is annoying.

Off topic, kind of... but I thought that Karina and Max looked spectacular (especially considering their breakup) dancing during the Emmy's.

I loved Donnie, loved how cute and endearing Louie was, and didn't think that Michael was as bad as they scored him for the first dance. While I think that Aaron Carter can dance, he (and Karina) leave me cold in the feel-good entertainment department. At one point after Donny danced, they flashed to Jermaine and Marie and I could have sworn I saw a tear welled up in Jermaine's eye. I guess at times like that he really misses Michael and the pride you have when a sibling does well, and that made me wonder how Michael would have done if he was ever on this show.

On this show, I wouldn't have wanted anyone to judge Michael. Just the other day Oprah did a show with past footage from her famous interview with Michael where she convinced him to dance on his stage and show her the moonwalk and when I saw that it was just pure grace and blissed me out.. maybe a demo on SYTYCD with tons of praise.. that would have been fun. But of course money got in the way and SYTYCD wasn't really allowed to do a Michael tribute, even. Anyway I thought it was cool that Jermaine was there with Marie. Heh.. I've gotten tweets from all the Osbournes, all excited and nervous about tonight's show.. And late last night, tweets from Kelly and Macy basically saying they couldn't sleep!

Oooh add me to the list of Donny fans. I adore him too! Met him, and he's an absolute sweetie-pie. I bought him a cookie at intermission, when we were both at the opening night of a play in Toronto, called Lettuce and Lovage starring Maggie Smith. The guy in front of me in the intermission concession lineup was wearing a really cool Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat leather jacket. And I asked the guy who you had to know to get one of those. He said 'Me!' then he turned around and it was Donny. He was in rehearsal for Joseph here in T.O. at the time, I was so tickled to meet him, he has the dreamiest smile in personal ladies... that when he chose his cookie at the counter, I was quicker than he was to pay the lady at the counter. Donny was happily surprised and kept thanking me. I teased him and said the next time we meet, he owes me a cookie, and he cheerfully agreed.

While I think that Aaron Carter can dance, he (and Karina) leave me cold in the feel-good entertainment department. Me too, Beachcomer. However, unlike you, I don't think he's that great a dancer and felt his scores were too high. I couldn't believe one judge gave Donny a '6.' Too low. Oh yes..Donny was fantastic in Joseph. Loved it. I thought the Iron Chef guy did well also. I'm curious to see how Macy Gray does tonight. It looked like she was having a tough time just walking down the stairs.....kind of moved awkwardly. I don't think Kelly Obsorne will be that good, but we'll see. She might surprise me. Can't wait to watch the Olympic swimmer. She looks great. I couldn't believe Cheryl got Tom Delay. I don't dislike him, but it most likely means Cheryl will be out early and I LOVE watching her dance, esp. that Julianna is no longer on the show.

The teeny tiny girl who's partnered with Louie....who was her partner last season? She's really adorable.

Maybe Kelly and Louis will be a surprise? They were on Ellen Monday. Didn't dance. According to both of them, they developed a good relationship / friendship immediately. That could be a plus in the dancing. We'll see.

I swear I am not wearing a tin foil hat, but did anyone else feel like Len's criticism was a way to get votes for Mya? It just didn't feel right. And, if course Tom saying the public could change the way it came out. I hope I am wrong.

Yeah, but Len's been that way with everyone! This is the first time I've seen the judges be so harsh on the very first dance. Usually, they're a little more upbeat and encouraging. And for Len to give Mya a 5 was just wrong, IMO!!

I am glad to see they got so many uses out of Karina's Emmy pants. (Emmy's on Sunday, Karina last night, Derek's partner tonight.) Sorry, it had to be said... I missed what Macy said, but I know it shocked just about everyone in the ballroom.
