Ian's Paso Doble?

I think he was pretty good. No he didnt like it at all. But he has to learn to take some critism its only for his own good. right? I cant wait till tonight. I love this show. I think I would be a good dancer.LOL

I thought Ian's Paso the other night was great. The judges are harder on him because he has so much potential. I mean, if Billy Ray Cyrus had performed Ian's Paso, they would have praised Billy Ray non stop. That's because we all know he can't do better. Ian can. And I am glad that he made it into the next round tonight. Although, even though Heather wasn't great, she WAS better than Billy Ray. And Billy Ray acts like he'd rather be somewhere else.

I don't know if maybe the pressure of having the 2 time champ as his partner has affected him? I think he is a good dancer but he is not great. It's too easy to contrast him with the truly hot male dancers on the show, Joey and Apollo. I thought that his paso was okay, but I couldn't help remembering Cheryl Burke doing similar paso moves in her dances with Drew Lachey and Emmitt Smith. I just don't see it here. I think Apollo will win it all, and I was saying that before his perfect 30 last week! I do think that the judges are overly harsh on Ian, though. It's my feeling that they base their comments partially on what they perceive as the dancer's ability. So Billy Ray and John ("Cliff") get nicer comments about their effort and their heart because they're not very good dancers. They see that there is potential in Ian, and he's not fulfilling it, so they give him a hard time to try to get him motivated to perform to his potential.

At this point I don't want to see any of them leave, except maybe Heather. Ian's Paso was a bit boring for me. I like fun and exciting which is what we got from all the other performances - Billy Ray, Joey, Apolo, Leila - all exciting dances. I actually hooted after Joey's performance. I found Billy Ray's dance entertaining. I know he needs to put a little more umph into dancing, but he is still fun to watch. Heck, dancing is sexy no matter who is doing it (except Master P. LOL!). They are getting down to the tough decisions where almost everyone are on equal footing. However, there are a couple of standouts who have performed flawlessly throughout the whole season.

I, also, thought he did a good job. Not as good as Joey and Apollo, but he did great. I thought his facial expressions and everything were great.

I think it was okay. He was quite stiff and uptight. I guess being the last performer didn't work out for him. The judges saw very good performances from Apollo, Joey and Laila. I think his overall score was fair, though. He should loosen up a bit because he always looks like he's concentrating on his steps so as not to make a mistake. He must be very competitive that his dances look almost mechanical. I think he still has a significant fan base that will keep him in the competition. However, my vote goes to Apollo and Julianne. They're the best!
