LOL, sorry but I gotta say, I love Len. You gotta have at least one judge that's traditional and knit picky. The way he put it was a bit rude and 5 was a bit harsh, but overall I agree with Len.
calling all dmya fans: mya almost won season 9; with your help brandy may be able to win season 11. vote for team branDMC on dancing with the stars! every monday after 8pm call 1-800-868-3406, text ‘vote’ to 3406, and go to abc.com to vote online. you can vote multiple times. people outside the u.s. can still vote online. don’t let bristol palin be this season’s donny osmond!
Also, I agree with alexisrg7 that DMya's second waltz (week 9) was absolutely stunning and far superior to any other female celeb's waltz done for any DWTS season.
This may not have been a traditional vienesse waltz, but it is definitely Artistry in Motion thanks to the choreography of Dmitry! Hopefully they will get to perform during season 11's "Top Ten Dances"!
They danced well but there was nowhere near enough of the actual Viennesse Waltz!! I prefered Kelly's VW much more as it had a lot more content in my opinion!!
I love Mya and Dimitry. They are both amazing individuals and dancers and were the perfect partners. And they always took Len's comments to heart and with dignity and as constructive criticism.
If you're going to insult him, get his name right, it's 'Len'. And he is right, even with an American Smooth version, the majority of the dance should be in hold.
this is the most beautiful dance I have seen on this show. Could have been on the results. The choreography was just amazing. I won t talk about Len, I'm trying really hard not to think about the old goat
That stupid Len, by critisizing this dance he was doing it to Dmitry not Mya, and his stupid vote of 5 was to punish Dmitry. He never comments on her style or grace. The vote IMO is his dislike of Dmitry and he doesn't appear to care if he hurt Mya in the process. I don't like him, I don't like him, I dispise this old goat.
I don't like Len but he's right. This is not a Viennese waltz. You can look it up in the internet to see what Viennese waltz is. Anyway, Mya is a fantastic dancer.
this is an americanized viennese waltz, look at how the choreographers do it in SYTYCD - a bit the same. maybe len was referring to a strict viennese waltz that have longer natural turn and reverse turns. maybe len was expecting so much of a close-hold like what happened in kelly and louis's routine...
Len is like Simon. They brought the show to USA. So he comes with the show. He is just old fashioned, but fails to see the way the show is going, towards the present. Ballroom style dancing but with a younger attitude. It seems he dislkes Dmitry, Max, Alex, and anyone who is not American or British. Yes, we all shake our heads at Len's comments. And he gave a 5 just to spite the other judges, the audience, and the viewers.
exactly. dance is an evolution. the current ballroom dancers do not perform dances like they did in the 1960s. Len has some racial and xenophobic tendencies. he needs to get with the times.
Mya is clearly a natural. The only thing against her winning this 9th season is Len. Len simply dislikes Dmitry choreography. I think it's about time Len retires and leaves that show. He's hurting it.
Len is an asshole. If he had consistency in his criticism I would have no problem with his scoring--for lack of components, at least there would be some authenticity in his judging...but...he's a tool.
He likes who he likes...and he likes or appears to have a hard on for Joanna Krupa...She's decent but her dancing lacks fluidity...jmho.
He seems to like Joanna because she has long legs. The way he loved Stacy Kiebler in season 2. Len, doesn't care for anyone who has hip hop background. Remember Sabrian Bryan?
well they did have to change up the choreography last minute because of mya's injury, so who knows, maybe in the original routine they were mostly in hold
Len is not consistent. There have been so many routines on this show that have not been traditional ballroom and he has never marked them down this much. This was a personal attack and he is showing a specific pattern.
i personally agree with len, it as a very good performance and i know that on dwts, unlike strictly, they do like a little bit of basic dance in hold, there just wasn't enough actual vienesse waltz. Beautiful dance, just not vienesse waltz. but thats just an opinion, no1's right and no1s wrong so theres no need to hav a huge argument.
I have to agree with len. this wasn't a viennese waltz. the posture wasn't right. I would have liked for them to have been in a waltz hold position where they have there hands in tact. I didn't see that at all. I love dmitry's body, but I didn't know that a unbuttoned shirt was appropriate for a viennese waltz. it was great performance, but not what it was suppose to be.
Len is such a jerk! I thought that it was great. I went back and wached other Viennese Waltz from previous seasons, and I don't know what Len was talking about. They were great!!!
i know you guys aren't going to like this comment, but i kind of agree with len. It wasn't really a viennese waltz.. But i did think the dance was good.
@yorishiku2525 ok for some reason i kinda agree with mommynab's comment, but then at the same time i agree with your comment too, after watching all the viennese waltzes in DWTS, this really isnt a viennese waltz, its just a plain dance with a couple of waltzes steps, but then at the same time, this is a show called dancing with the stars, its about the stars, not the pros, why would len score mya that low? but at the end they did the wrong dance though
len is crazt...Dmitry did an axcellent choreography... Len likes the houghs and the ballases n burke. He just can digest that SYTYCD pros are better...Dmitry, Lacy n Chelsie are awesome...
I can't believe that Len can drop the "stars" score based on the choreagraphy. There are 16 different pros, so they all will bring something different. It doesn't seem fair that if she did the dance that she was taught by her pro, she performed it well, so why give her a 5? Then they told Derek "excellent choreagraphy" and gave his team an 8. If they are scoring choreagraphy, they should all have the same dance/routine.
Len's always like that. When a star is above standard, he will start putting choreography into consideration as well. Kristi's cha cha cha and tango are good examples.
I am starting to think that too! the only black celeb's ass he kissed and I wasn't mad....LOL is MEL B, and that is because I was rooting for her! Mario, Toni B, Monique coleman, oooh wait..He did Kiss Layla ali's ass, but that is because she can kick his ass! LOL! He always gave LIL Kim a 8, when He know damn well that she deserved a 9 or 10! He get on my last nerves
Mya's look at 5:43 was pricless...she was looking like wth is he talking about? I thought the dance was awesome. This already tells us that Len is fixing to give Mya and Dimitry a hard time this season...
I don't think Len should penalize Mya for the choreography. That is not her fault. He should have at least given a 7 score. That would show his displeasure with the dance itself without hurting Mya's score.
I think it's because SYTYCD does more contemporary styling with ballroom, and Len being the old guy that he is doesn't like the new stuff. I love the more contemporary stuff. Len just has to get his head out of the ground.
I'm sick of Len...Everything is not about race in this world, but I'm beginning to think len has something against "black" dancers. He butchered Mario in season 6, Maurice Greene, Lil Kim (last season), and now he tore into Mya who was excellent. Like I said, everything is not about race, but I'm beginning to wonder with Len. THANKS BRUNO for putting that old geezer in his place :-)
nah i thought len underscored them but to say he has something wrong with black dancers is a bit extreme mate. If you watch SCD, Alesha Dixon (who you may not know) was black and she was like Mya, in terms of being ahead of everyone but he was great with her and always marked her well. He gave her a 10 once when infact the female judge gave her a 9. So basically maybe he was in a bad mood or something but still he undermarked her.
Mya danced great here, I'm not trying to take anything away from her, but Len is spot on with his comments. This is not a Viennese Waltz and I'm glad he called out the choreographer. What's the point of having genres if you can freestyle to whatever you like.
They should score both the dancer and the choreographer. The score of 5 is unfair to Mya, but just for Dimitri.
I was not going to watch b/c i love julianne....but i have fallen for these 2...they are too cute..and damn good...and dmitry impressed me so much with his humility at the the end
This was fantastic!!! Mya and Dmitri looked great together...and Mya looked so beautiful. They have wonderful chemistry.They're definintely are one of my favorites couples so far. And Len's score was ridiculous...
