1. Why Dancing with the Stars is so Popular

   August 3, 2011 by Admin

   With so many shows on television anymore, it is amazing at times, how some of the simplest shows can actually capture the imagination and attention of the audience. In order to actually enjoy the show it is very important that you realize that no the winners of the show do not receive money. They do not receive a dancing contract like singers on American Idol receive a singing contract. To really enjoy the show you need to understand they are not receiving anything more than a title, and a cute little trophy that really does not mean that much to them. Of course, they are paid for being on the show while they are there, but in terms of Hollywood, it is not enough pay to really make the stars stick around for a long time.

   The main reason why many of the stars stick around is nothing more than pure competitive nature. Being in the competition simply means that each star is teamed up with a professional dancer and must dance their hearts out each week for the right to stay. Being kicked off early is a disaster and could easily result in the star looking foolish against their peers. This makes it a desire for the stars to perform their very best in order to avoid getting kick out.

   Some of the other reasons why the show is so incredibly popular range from simple things like incredible dancing styles, to even just wondering what each contestant is going to actually wear. Trying to decide which part is the most interesting to you is not always easy to pinpoint but if you spend a few minutes watching the show you are quite likely to find something that you are interested in watching. If you enjoy watching people being criticized then this is also the show for you, what Simon Cowell does for American Idol there are three different judges on Dancing with the Stars, this gives plenty of opportunity to hear criticism, unique comments and even an occasional praise when a pair of contestants do well.

   With contestants competing against each other and relying heavily upon the votes of viewers, it is possible to vote for your own favorite celebrity and professional pair to hang around. Regardless of the exact reason why you like the show, it is really easy to see at first glance just why it is so much fun to watch. From the thrilling dance scenes, to the amazing costumes, and even the comments of the judge, competitive nature abounds and this makes the perfect opportunity to show off just how competitive each of these contestants really are. By making their own mark on the Dancing with the Stars show, they are adding a small piece of themselves, and since most of the stars on the show are not as successful as previously, it makes a great way to get back into the public spotlight.

   Just realize if you decide to watch a single episode that you might become deeply attached to the show. There is so much excitement and it is quite contagious. If you are simply looking for something that could be a bit of fun to watch occasionally then this is certainly not it, you will find that rather quickly you are drawn to watching every episode and ensuring that you have ample time to vote for the contestant that you feel strongest about. Struggling to find time to actually watch the show could quickly become your biggest problem!

   If you are ever channel surfing and looking for the next greatest show to watch spending a few minutes watching Dancing with the Stars is some time very well spent. There is no reason at all why you should ever look for anything else, after all with a season full of drama, excitement, amazing dancing and so much more the American version of Dancing with the Stars has it all.

2. The Most Hated Judge – Take a Guess

   July 30, 2011 by Admin

   With each season of Dancing with the Stars bringing all new celebrities to the center of attention it is increasingly obvious that there are several judges who play a very large part on the show. Trying to determine the exact role that each of the stars play is often varied, but it is possible for a large number of people to easily pinpoint the one judge that they dislike. However, while everyone tends to have different opinions, there are also several factors that make it increasingly obvious that one judge in particular has the role of villain wrapped up tightly.

   For the vast majority of viewers the inclusion of Len Goodman as well as Bruno Tonioli seems only natural. After all, these two gentlemen are directly involved with the British version of the show Strictly Come Dancing. One major difference between the original British version and the United States version is the number of judges, for the British version there are a total of four judges, which includes Craig Revel Horwood, Arlene Phillips, Len Goodman, and finally Bruno Tonioli.

   Len Goodman comes from England and is a professional dancing judge, as well as instructor for ballroom and also Latin dance styles. Beginning his dance career around 1962 he has ample experience to pull upon and has demonstrated a very extensive knowledge of all of the dance types, styles, varieties and even the alternative techniques that can be used. Due to the overwhelming success of the British version, Strictly Come Dancing he was offered the position as the head judge on the American version, Dancing with the Stars.

   BrunoTonioli is a professional dancer as well as a choreographer. His professional credits have ranged across a large number of projects with his most recent notoriety coming from both the British version, Strictly Come Dancing but also the American version, Dancing with the Stars. Pulling from his own experience as a dancer and even a choreographer he is able to offer the contestants, both stars and professionals some great first hand advice and is also known for making an appearance on the Australian version of the show, Dancing with the Stars.

   Carrie Ann Inaba is an American actress, singer, and also dancer. She has also handled numerous professional choreography needs as well, especially for various competitions, and television shows. From all of the judges involved in the show Dancing with the Stars she is the only judge who has no personal ballroom dancing experience or training. This has no doubt found her repeatedly questioned on her ability to judge the competition. Pulling on her dancing skills, she has proven in her own professional career that she is incredibly talented and has been involved in the show since the very beginning.

   Overall, if you had to just read the small pieces of information presented and pick the one judge that you believe is the worst what do you think you would say? Most people can agree that it is extremely difficult to actually pinpoint that one judge that is unanimously called the villain but for some it is actually quite simple. The lack of experience in professional ballroom dancing tends to make Carrie Ann Inaba the first choice; however, there are several reasons why she is often considered the villain judge in the show.

   For the majority of people who have watched the show for any great amount of time it is noticeable that aside from the truth that many people all compete against each other Carrie Ann Inaba also has a habit of being much harsher on the female contestants than on the male contestants. This is regardless of whether the contestants are professionals or celebrities. This has created a large amount of frustration amongst fans that felt that male’s were not performing to the same level as the female but yet received better comments and ratings. Trying to avoid this reputation, it has been obvious that Carrie Ann Inaba is working to change her image, but it is proving to be a bit difficult for her to do since each couple has at least one female actively involved.

3. Pulling Your Dancing Shoes Out to Audition

   July 14, 2011 by Admin

   Many people have wondered exactly how they could have their turn on the hit television show Dancing with the Stars, but the fact of the matter is that it is extremely hard to actually get onto the show. While there are always new seasons created, the need to actually qualify is very important and there are no actual auditions that are used to cast the show. However, it is extremely important to realize that the show does not allow typical people to compete; rather the show is intended to be between a celebrity and a professional dancer.

   Because of the format of the show, it is critical that you either be a professional dancer or you be a celebrity of some form. The types of celebrities that have worked on the show is extremely varied but in general, the majority of celebrities that are used are not at the peak of their careers when they are invited to perform and compete on the show.

   For example, former contestants have included Kristi Yamaguchi, Steve Guttenberg, Priscilla Presley, Marie Osmond, Marlee Matlin, Melanie Brown, Jane Seymore and Jerry Springer to mention a few. As you can just imagine, there have not been a huge assortment of opportunities for each of these celebrities lately, however they are professionals of some form or another. Some of the stranger castings on the show include choices such as Master P the rapper and Floyd Mayweather the boxer who has ranged from the super featherweight to the light middleweight rankings.

   As you can see from some of the previous contestants there is very little that you can do to actually pull yourself out of the shadows if you are not already a celebrity in order to actually compete on the show. Most people find that the celebrities that are chosen for the show each year are a group of celebrities that have not been seen much for several years, which allows the show to serve as a bit of a coming out party for them in many ways.

   The fact that the show does not have any actual auditions makes it a bit of a disappointment to some fans, however since the contestants are required to compete against each other continuously in order to remain on the show many are happy with the outcome. Of course trying to make all of the contestants happy is never easy and there are some times when it is nearly impossible to have all contestants performing their very best.

   As the show continues along it is increasingly obvious that they enjoy pulling out celebrities that are not as well known, yet still recognizable in their own rights. By pulling many different celebrities from a large number of backgrounds it can work to ensure that everyone has someone that they are pulling for, which can be quite effective to ensure that all of the viewers of the show are happy with at least one contestant each year.

   Pulling the celebrities from a large variety also ensures that someone has something to offer, which while not always helpful for the dancing competition can be quite helpful in connecting with the audience and working to help pull the votes that are needed to remain on the show. This together with the guidance and assistance of the professional dancer that each celebrity is teamed with ensures that the show is still entertaining each week, while showcasing numerous celebrities from the varied backgrounds stepping very far out of their comfort zone.

   Overall, this can be extremely disappointing for anyone who is really interested in trying out for the show. It can however provide you with a few good reasons to just watch the show, but losing the ability to audition and only finding contestants due to casting decisions can be a huge blow for many that is not appreciated at all. But a new season can come along and at some point; the rules might change to allow normal people to audition for a spot with the professional dancers. Then again, it could be created by a spinoff that is developed in the future.

4. History of Dancing with the Stars

   July 6, 2011 by Admin

   Have you ever been flipping channels and stumbled upon Dancing with the Stars? Many people have found themselves in this position and wondered exactly how the show actually got started. The fact is, this is not a show that is unique to the United States, in fact, it comes from a long line of shows that it is similar to and is based off the British television show Strictly Come Dancing. A piece of a franchise from the BBC Worldwide and has successfully finished six seasons so far with the seventh season scheduled to begin in September of 2008.

   The show itself features professional ballroom dancers who are teamed together with celebrities from a wide range of fields. The celebrities themselves come from movies, television, music and even some modeling. Combining the dancers together with the actual celebrities is typically done randomly but the final result is a pair that is combined together for the season and must compete against all other pairs for the season. It is the job of the professional dancer to teach, coach and encourage the celebrity in all of the appropriate styles of ballroom dancing that is needed in order to complete the season. The celebrity that performs best is typically the winner, which obviously requires a very strong professional dance partner in order to actually help the celebrity learn the necessary dances.

   Once each pair performs, they are provided a score from the three judges. This score is then combined with the votes from viewers voting for their favorite pair as well. At the end of the voting period, the couple with the lowest score is sent home. This is the format that has been adopted from the British version, Strictly Come Dancing. Additionally, as well as adopting the British version the show also includes two of the judges from the British series. Both Bruno Tonioli and also Len Goodman are associated with the American version and the British version to name a few.

   The show itself has been incredibly popular all around the world and is shown in numerous countries all around. Finding the perfect combination of judges, guidelines, contestants and even dance styles has afforded the show a large amount of success. With success coming all around the world the show seems to have everything it could possibly want, great stars, wonderfully talented professionals and a cast of great judges.

   However, much as Dancing with the Stars seems to have everything they are still behind in terms of ratings. American Idol is still the top ranked show in television; however, Dancing with the Stars is fighting very hard to actually catch up. How successful the show will be at working to catch up in ratings is still yet to be seen, but each season has continued to increase ratings.

   As you can imagine, the show tends to strike at the hearts of competition. With a highly competitive nature, arriving all around from both the professional dancers and even the celebrities who find competition extremely addictive the show pulls a large number of contestants, viewers and fans. As you can imagine, the show’s popularity has continued to grow and there is an ever increasing number of people who are looking for great advances in the show. Finding the substantial success that Dancing with the Stars has located is never easy, but it is always something that will continue to grow as the show has continued down a path of great success.

5. Dancing or Playing the Judges – You Decide

   May 27, 2011 by Admin

   On every episode of Dancing with the Stars celebrities and their professional dance partners all take the stage and grace the audience with a short dance. The actual dance is frequently nothing at all to do with the actual scores that are handed out by the judges. However, it is also extremely important to realize that while the judges do play a large part of determining who wins the show, and even who goes home each week there are several instances where the viewers themselves will have a much larger impact on how the show proceeds.

   In general terms it is typically widely accepted that the show is based heavily upon appearances. Both the appearance of the celebrity and also the appearance of the professional dancer. It is very seldom that anyone actually makes it through the competition by looking sloppy, uncoordinated and even badly organized. If you are looking to ensure that you are well pulled together and are actually appropriately scored then it is critical that the contestants actually look the parts that they are trying to play. For many this means stepping out of their comfort zone and wearing clothing that they normally would never wear.

   In order to actually put together the true package needed to win the show it is very much necessary to take the time to pull together a great routine that is complete with perfect timing, great dancing skills, audience draw and even a great costume. Someone is just not going to look as pulled together if they select the wrong costume. There is no denying this at all, but if you do not take the time to actually select a good costume you could quickly find yourself leaving the show simply because the costume took too much attention away from the actual dancing.

   In order to really move past the small details and determine if the judges really do decide the show based on actual dancing skills it is important to watch a season from start to finish. There has been speculation for a very long time that the judges are not very concerned with the actual dancing. This has been further proven by the lack of fairness that judge Mary Ann Inaba often shows to contestants. However, while the show continues to plug along, there are times when it is noticeable that the actual dancing is the primary concern of the judges.

   For most viewers it is extremely frustrating only having a partial impact on which contestants stay and which go. The judges having at least some impact on which contestants are permitted to stay is intended to ensure that the competition stays focused on dancing skills, however it does still occasionally fall to the side in the event that some contestants are more favored by the judges and even the viewers than others who are more talented. While the show has struggled to ensure that it is fairly judged there is still an uncertainness whether the actual dancing or the whim of the judges makes a greater difference in who will actually win.

   Pulling your favorite star out of the crowd and giving them the boost needed to win is not just based on actual votes. It is still required that contestants at least attempt to completely master the dances that they are trying to compete with. This goes a long way towards helping contestants be absolutely certain that they are winning based upon their actual dancing skills, rather than just popularity but as many arguments have occurred, it is still undetermined just how effective this actually is. Many feel that the dancers whom are actually more talented are actually penalized by the judges in terms of a contestant that is more favored, such as the case with Melanie Brown and her partner on five. However, while the debates continue to rage on, there are still several theories that are discussed and the show marches on for a new season after each one ends, further increasing the popularity.
