Chrishell had 24 points and 2--- Skai had 25 and2 .So why wasn't Nelle in the bottom 2 ? and he gone? 
 My favs are Kaitlyn-Jonny and Nev but still why Chrishell?

Dancing with the Stars 29 Week 8 Recap and Live Blog

11/02/2020 Franky Nunez Dancing with the Stars, Recap

Welcome to week eight of season twenty-nine of Dancing with the Stars. Tonight was scheduled to be "Double Elimination" night but as it goes sometimes, a last minute injury has changed things up. Only nine stars are left and when all is said and done, just seven will remain. Tonight will also mark the first time that everyone has to dance twice. But first, let's discuss the breaking news.

Jeannie Mai and her partner Brandon are out. Unfortunately, Jeannie has a health emergency which prevents her from continuing on. Her health of course, comes first. We wish her a speedy recovery and her energy and commitment will be missed. Even though she is gone, we will still have an elimination tonight.

Following their usual individual dances, the stars will be split up into three groups to perform in the relay dance round. One judge will be assigned to each group of three and after they all dance one at a time in the same style, that judge will award points. These points will be added to the first round scores to make up a stars grand total. That total, along with your live votes will determine who is in danger of being eliminated.

The three I see as being in the most danger are Chrishell (one of our weaker dancers though she obviously has some fan support), Johnny (that shock bottom two placement means he could be at risk), and Skai (a very inconsistent performer). Each one of them needs to do their very best tonight and get some added points in the second round. The live audience votes have never been more important.

The show begins with the contestants telling America to vote. Chrishell adds to please vote for her. LOL. I agree though. VOTE everyone!

Tyra struts out in an outfit that makes her look like a birthday cake. I have no words. Tyra confirms that Jeannie has had to withdraw. So, no double elimination tonight. Just a single. Voting is open now and we begin with Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn Bristowe & Artem – Jive
Very good jive. You can tell she was having fun during that. The smile and high energy is infectious to watch. Some really strong kicks and flicks and always in-sync with Artem. It was a great way to open the show and a lively dance Kait should be really proud of.

Derek compliments the content. He tells her that she needs to attack a little more because of her long arms and legs. Bruno says she can do everything. He wants more attack and finish in her steps. Carrie Ann tells her she came back with grace and energy. UH-OH. LIFT POLICE. She tells her she felt and looked looser in the dance.
Carrie Ann- 8, Derek- 9, Bruno- 8 = 25/30

Nev Schulman & Jenna – Viennese Waltz
Aww. Sweet dance. Lovely flow. Nice rise and fall and the two waltzed around the ballroom. Enjoyed the classical elegance Jenna used in her choreography and Nev looked like a leading man in both his attire and leading Jenna around. Sweet.

Bruno says oozes charm and charisma. He tells him he was light on his feet and good musicality. Carrie Ann called it beautiful. She mentions a few stumbles but says it was elegant and flowing. Derek says he moves with intention and with clarity. He tells him it was a smooth Viennese waltz.
Carrie Ann- 9, Derek- 9, Bruno- 9 = 27/30

Justina Machado & Sasha – Samba
So fun. Justina is home with Latin dances for sure. That being said, there were a few sloppy moments in that, which surprised me. A couple of odd sections here and there but I have to clap at seeing samba rolls. Those are very hard to do and while not perfect, it is nice to see the attempt. Very high energy and very fun to watch.

Carrie Ann loves the way Justina makes her feel. She mentions the stumble and Justina says it is a very hard dance. Derek loved the song and samba rolls. He tells her to watch her feet a little bit so she can get more bounce. Bruno calls Justina her tangerine dream.
Carrie Ann- 9, Derek- 9, Bruno- 9 = 27/30

Nelly & Daniella – Rumba
How can you not root for Nelly? He is was this show was made for. Someone who is obviously not a natural dancer improving each week and having a journey. A sweet rumba here with some nice hip action. Sure, a little over accentuated but many people doing this type of dance for the first time do that. He kept up with Daniella and was charming to watch. Very nice.

Derek appreciates the story of Nelly's sister. He doesn't really critique the dance. Bruno says Nelly framed Daniella and made her shine. He tells him he stepped it more than he dragged. Carrie Ann is proud of Nelly. She doesn't think the level is high enough yet and she wants to see more but loves that he dances from his heart.
Carrie Ann- 7, Derek- 7, Bruno- 7 = 21/30

Chrishell Stause & Gleb – Viennese Waltz
Okay. So the bed at the beginning was ridiculous and unnecessary. As was the overly sexual choreography. But it is Gleb, so I am not surprised. There wasn't enough actual Viennese waltz content there for me to judge. It had some but at times, it delved into a weird contemporary-lite piece. I am confused.

Carrie Ann calls it graceful and elegant. She tells her to watch her arm and neck at times. Derek can see improvement. He agrees to watch her arm and to watch her transitions- they need to be seamless. Bruno says she had some good moments but she has to be able to sustain it.
Carrie Ann- 8, Derek- 8, Bruno- 8 = 24/30

Skai Jackson & Alan – Salsa
Thankfully, Skai forgot no steps during that. Good. However, she still has that look while dancing like she is patiently waiting for the next step. And I see Alan is using her size to throw in an incredible amount of lifts. Lifts are exciting and all but sometimes they are used to mask technical aspects of the dance. In a salsa, fine. But I hope he doesn't continue to lean on them a lot.

Carrie Ann says it was aggressive. She says some landings were not perfect in the lifts. Derek compliments her being more grounded. Derek says a few too many tricks. Bruno wants the lifts to look better when she comes out of them.
Carrie Ann- 8, Derek- 9, Bruno- 8 = 25/30

Johnny Weir & Britt – Foxtrot
I have to compliment Britt. She has choreographed perfect for Johnny. He is too unique to go the regular route in his dances yet she does just enough to make each dance recognizable. I wasn't in love with this but that's honestly a personal preference more than anything. It had elegance and flow with some great rise and fall. A little spastic and erratic at times but I think that was the intention?

Derek compliments his arms and frame. He wanted it to be a little more gradual in the rise and fall. More of a swell in the water instead of choppy. Bruno agrees. He tells him he has a wonderful sweeping movement. Carrie Ann loved the fashion choices and artistry. She thought the dance was intentional.
Carrie Ann- 9, Derek- 9, Bruno- 9 = 27/30

And now, we get a look at Jeannie from the hospital. She is explaining what happened. A throat abscess caused her to need emergency surgery, which was a total success. Brandon is relieved and loved having her as a partner. We get a quick look back at some of Jeannie and Brandon's moments from the season. I will miss Jeannie a lot on this show because she brought so much energy and commitment to every dance. Tyra (in tears) wishes her well.

AJ McLean & Cheryl – Rumba
Tough to judge a dance based on someone's story of addiction. Kudos to both AJ and Cheryl for getting clean and staying clean. It was an okay rumba. Some decent hip action, with more necessary. Some obvious moments of angst thrown in which was par for the course with the idea of the dance but not really what one would see in a rumba. I am interested in seeing how the judges score this all things considered. I would give it an eight.

Bruno loved the intention and storytelling. He says he lost a lot of the rumba action. Carrie Ann agrees She loved the powerfulness of the performance but it wasn't enough content for a rumba. She wants him to finish his lines more and bust open. Derek calls AJ a hero for healing his wounds. He says that routine was for him (AJ).

Carrie Ann- 8, Derek- 8, Bruno- 8 = 24/30

Relay Round

Carrie Ann judges a Cha-Cha-Cha relay featuring Nelly, Chrishell, and Nev

Nev begins with a great cha-cha-cha with Jenna. Very crisp and solid. Chrishell is up next and holds her own. A little sloppy, especially toward the final moments. Nelly is so fun to watch but kinda out of sync with his partner during that.

Carrie Ann found it so much fun. She feels Nev started a little weak until the pyro went off. She thinks Chrishell the frame got a little awkward.. Nelly got the most improvement award but he needs to keep his head up.

Carrie Ann gives Nev a 3, Chrishell a 2, and Nelly a 2.

Derek judges a Viennese Waltz relay featuring Justina and Johnny

Interesting. That's kind of a tie for me. Both couples did really well. Perhaps Johnny had a bit more content but at times, a bit too hectic. Justina was more simplistic but better suited. Maybe a tie score for bonus points here.

Derek says Justina was gorgeous but wanted more energy. He tells Johnny it was phenomenal.

Derek gives Justina a 2 and Johnny a 3.

Bruno judges a samba relay featuring Skai, Kaitlyn, and AJ

Good start from AJ. Nice hips in that one. Kaitlyn follows up with a good performance. One tiny hiccup in the middle but she recovers fast. Skai may have actually outperformed the other two in that. And samba rolls. And they were decent. She still looks over at Alan way too much, as if for approval or what to do next.

Bruno feels AJ was very rhythmical. He tells Kaitlyn's was so well placed and tells Skai that she is most improved but soften the bounce a bit. He tells everyone they did well.

Bruno gives AJ 3, Kaitlyn 3, and Skai a 2.



Judges Scores (for both rounds together)
Nev- 30 (3 in the relay)
Johnny- 30 (3 in the relay)
–
Justina- 29 (2 in the relay)
–
Kaitylyn- 28 (3 in the relay)
–
Skai- 27 (2 in the relay)
AJ- 27 (3 in the relay)
–
Chrishell- 26 (2 in the relay)
–
Nelly- 23 (2 in the relay)

Results Time!
The following couples are SAFE and will return next week to dance: Nelly & Daniella, Justina & Sasha, AJ & Cheryl, Kaitlyn & Artem, Johnny & Britt, and Nev & Jenna.

The following couples are in the bottom two: Skai & Alan and Chrishell & Gleb

Carrie Ann SAVES Skai & Alan

Derek SAVES Skai & Alan

Eliminated– Chrishell & Gleb.

The Voice Recap Season 19 Blind Auditions 4 Live Blog (VIDEO)

11/02/2020 mj santilli Recaps, The Voice




The teams of 10 are almost full! Blake, Kelly, Gwen have two more spots each, while John has 3.

Julia Cooper – Alaska – 21 – Poland OH – She's a small town girl who both sings and dances. Currently, she attends Middle Tennessee University. She also works a few jobs on the side. After the pandemic hit, she lost her jobs and had to move back in with her parents. John, Gwen and Kelly turn right away. She's a decent singer, but not very dynamic. She does have a pretty tone, especially in her head voice. John notes that he's also from Ohio, and believes they were meant to be together. He loves how she moves back and forth between her head and chest voice. He calls her vocal a "revelation." Kelly is playing hardball! She says John's team member Kami is very similar, and that Julia would be unique on Team Kelly.  Gwen likes her confidence. John, Gwen and Kelly turn. Julia picks John

Apropos – I Heard it Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye – 31 – Detroit MI – He chose "Apropos" as solo name because…he's versatile? Or something. At the age of two, his father passed away. His mother encouraged his musical talent, beginning piano lessons at 7. He recorded an album, and signed with a UK label. Elton John introduces his song on the radio. Her mom calls him "Apropos" which seems highly unlikely in private. He picks an old school Motown song, which is perfectly suited to his gravely soulful voice. There is a ton of energy in that performance. But nobody turned. He definitely deserved a turn. John didn't like his melodic choices. Gwen loved the first couple of notes. She and Kelly were close. But both felt his performance was too linear. Blake feels they let one get away. I agree. – No Turns

John Sullivan – Operator by Jim Croce – 32 – Denver NC – He's VERY TALL. He played piano growing up. Baseball was his first love, though. He pitched, made a college roster and then played independent baseball. He started playing music on the side, and eventually switched to music full time. He's married and has a young son. He calls himself "Mr. Mom." This sounds like bar music. Nothing special going on here, yet Blake turns for him. And then Gwen. This is a very boring performance.  John is impressed by his tone and intimacy. Blake and Gwen listen to 70s music at home. "I love yacht rock!" says Gwen. Kelly was looking into more deviation. She's right. He could have done more to interpret that song. Blake and Gwen turn, John picks Blake

Skylar Alyvia Mayton – Blinding Lights – 15 – Grand Rapids MI – Youn Skylar stands in front of Kelly's giant photo and begs "Please pick me Kelly!" She confesses to being a huge fan of the iconic singer. And Kelly is the first to turn. Skylar has a very pretty turn and a bell like upper register. That was a very nice rendition. Kelly is the only turn. But Skylar does not care! Kelly thanks the other coaches for not turning.                                                                                                                       Lain Roy – Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi – 22 – Larkspur CO – He started in the shadows, but once he emerged–he looks REALLY young. But his parents aren't with him, so he's probably not a teen. His voice is beautiful, great tone interesting phrasing. This song is covered A LOT on singing shows and is verging on over done. But I liked his version, quite a lot.. Only Gwen and John turned.  His mom was a touring artist. But Lain didn't begin singing until 10th grade when he performed John's "All of Me" for a talent show. He started at Berklee and then transferred to Belmont. As Lain and John hit it off. Gwen gets up out of her chair. She knows she's out gunned here. She sells herself as a "package coach" who has tons and tons of experience. Blake is all in for his girlfriend, however. Gwen and John turn, Lain picks Gwen
                                                                                                            Jared Ming – Drunk Me – 32 – Honolulu HI – He's from Denver but currently lives in Hawaii. He loves to surf, and swim with dolphins. "The people are super kind." He worked steadily pre-pandemic. Interestingly, he's a country singer. Which isn't a big community of singers on the island. He's got the vocal of a soul singer. But is singing country. His voice is strong, but he's kind of shouty. Nobody turns. Gwen noted the pitchiness. John calls his tone "solid." Blake thinks his voice wants to soar a little more. He didn't like the song choice – No turns told me." 

Worth The Wait – When Will I Be Loved by Linda Ronstadt – (Tara 47, Nia 15, JC 13) – Center AL – The girls have been singing all their lives. They love singing for random cashiers. In once case, the person behind them recorded it and the video went viral–40 million views. The popularity of the video helped book a lot of gigs. Their older singer used to be part of the trio, but she had a special needs baby. He has a rare skin disease. Mom stepped in to take her place. The harmonies take the coaches by surprise. All four turn. They do have those great sibling harmonies going. We previewed this performance HERE. Gwen mentions working with her brother in a band. Although the girls are country, Gwen calls herself the "fresh one." Blake is burnt out. Then Trace Adkins (ew) appears on video to stick up for Gwen. Kelly felt there were iffy parts. She will push them like a choir director. Blake would be PROUD to be their coach. No hard sell.. He probably doesn't need it. John mentions that he sang with his family and directed an acapella group. Nevertheless, they choose Blake.  

Blake's team is full!

Emmalee – How Will I Know by Whitney Houston – 20 – Clarksville TN – An only child, she's been singing for a long time. At 13, she began c0-writing for film and TV. She got a song in The Young and Restless. She works mostly in Nashville. She's pretty accomplished for a 20 year old. Emmalee chooses to perform a stripped down version of the Whitney classic. John and Kelly turn right away. That first note was huge. This countrified arrangement is a little odd. However, Emmalee is big voiced, but effortless. It feels like she has even more she's not revealing quite yet. John and Kelly turn. John says he's all about tone, and hers struck him right away. Gwen loved the arrangement. Kelly felt the song showed her artistry. "You have air for days!" she says. And Emmalee chooses Kelly – 

Kelly's team is full!

Bailey Rae – 18 0 Roberta OK – At 5, she joined a competitive clogging team. She lives in a house on many acres. The comes from a rodeo family. She has gigged across the south, including at Blake's Old Tish in Oklahoma. Too bad his team is filled. Both Kelly and Blake seem bumed they can't turn for Bailey's old school country style. John hits his button. It's going to be an odd fit. Maybe he can help her pitch problems. Otherwise, her classic style is impressive. Blake pledges to steal her in the Battles. Oh geez. Kelly and Blake are fighting over her…in the future. John loves the little slides into notes. John has never had a country artist on his team. Oh boy. I bet she does end up on Team Blake eventually. – Only John turned 

Neci – God Bless the Child – 32 – Nashville TN – She's a labor and delivery nurse. The pandemic has been "a lot." She's also studying to get her masters. And she's raising three young children. Neci hs a very jazzy voice. But nobody is turning. The family looks so upset. She has a few pitch problems. Maybe that's why nobody hit their buttons. She deserved a turn, I think. Blake calls her gifted. He wonders why John didn't turn. He wanted more discipline and control. Gwen loves her vibrato. She was "this close" to turning.   – No Turns

Tori Miller – When You Say Nothing at All by Alison Krauss – 26 – Siloam Springs AR – She was raised on classic country, her parents ran a local opry. Her dad was an addict. After her parents divorced, she didn't have much to do with him. At 18 she reached out to him, and they became close. But sadly, he died last year. Gwen hits her button, although there are pitch problems galore. Tori has a nice tone, but her phrasing is flat. I mean, she can't even hold a note, it trails off flat. Gwen calls her voice "soothing." Kelly noted the shakiness. Gwen calls her "quite young." Uh…she's 26. Only Gwen turned

Gwen's team is full!

James Pyle – Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles – 30 – West Hills CA – Currently, he lives in Ohio, for some reason. He's a drummer in a band, but always wanted to sing. He kept it to himself until he was 20. He's married and has a family. James has only performed about 3 gigs–a couple of open mics in Columbus. Interesting song choice. His vocal is a little too stylized–he sounds forced. But overall, he has an interesting sound. He could use some coaching. John hit his button, it could be a fruitful collaboration. Kelly and Gwen wanted to turn for him. Gwen threatens to steal him later. – Only John Turned

And John's team is FULL! The Battle Rounds begin next Monday, November 9. The Voice is preempted tomorrow night for American election returns.
