'Toxic' Duel (Mark Ballas vs. Val Chmerkovskiy) dancing with the stars

[TheDancerdiva12]

Mark! <3

[joroy123]

val for me, mark is good but he's a little showy :-)

[14stepp]

everyone is saying val but the music was in his favor, that was definitly not a song to showcase an acustic guitar... mark is a better musician though, if you have seen him before... he sings amazing

[MsELJackson]

Val has skills on that violin! can violate my life!! easy son! lol

[berrytanIchi]

Val is so amazing!

[Love89571]

Val is gorgeous. :)

[88musicndancing88]

It's funny. Val finally notices- he's toxic to our hearts. Amazing dancer, rapper, violinist, and (even though he might not know) he can make it as a model. =D

[wizard101iamlvl40]

Thumbs up for the vilonist

[BackpackBlog]

If only we could take Mark's looks and pair that with the violin. Now THAT would be a dream. c;

[ThePaullion]

I think these two sound great together! I'd like to hear more!

[4misstish]

Oh MARK FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!

[Phoenixfalconer]

Val should marry me.

[tutuifico]

I think I'ts gorgeous but I think in this show you need have britneyspears on live! well i think so! :9

[sr200179]

"Holy Mackerel! that like high noon only with spandex" Oh Tom :)

[Barbie3087]

In my opinion Mark took this one... Val is awesome to but he did suck at the beginning then he got alright but with the help of the 2 back violin players....

[MaskedViolinist07]

Val won before he even started. Already, unbelievably Hot! Super talented dancer! and now... exceptional violinist!!!

[34lovesweet]

Mark a funny guy =)

[bobbierickjonathan]

Toxic! really enjoyed it! thanks Mark and Val!

[bobbierickjonathan]

Toxic! really enjoyed it!

[joeysmom6074]

Mark rocks it all the way... in every way.. sexy.. He rocks it in every way possible.. Poor Val has no chance of ever outdoing Mark!!!!!!!!!!

[cheddercheli]

I've always been a big fan of mark ballas... But the violin over powered the guitar... The dances were a ties. So overall, it goes to Val!!!

[doula1956]

Val is smokin' hot, those eyes of his tell stories without a doubt!!

[doula1956]

WOW! It sure looks like Mark's partner wanted to take a few snapshots of the audience to her right, I mean if she lifted her leg any higher, she would have flown the hell away...lmao big time!!

[lukasx9x]

Valentino !!!! HOT as HELL !!!!!!!!!

[Kodanikage]

who ever said Russians and Latinos couldn't get along?

[luvnmybountyhunters]

@Kodanikage lol mark is greek and latin but they are just the cutest guys and really nice in person i hate that val was voted off last night :(

[VASTSAMO]

MOTHER RUSSIA! I'M IN LOVE! <3.<3

[heyyninaa]

I think I'm in love with Val <3

[macuser5555]

I don't like Val, he's arrogant and thinks too highly of his looks. He sucks.

[BajanNeko]

Val is just too hot for words and Mark is like the best-friend you adore...I like them both but Val won.

[ilovedevinbehm27]

its not that hard to play on violin, i can do it. but it is pretty amazinggg

[quenquen411]

honestly Val is better. music and dance. as far as ballroom technique and performance... it's something offputting about Mark...

[quenquen411]

honestly Val is better.

[Lemi10125]

who won and who was the girl dancing with mark

[drawingcellogirl]

That song is HARD to play on violin

VAL for SUREEEEEE!

[VickyPapapostolou]

Val for sure :D

[1335639649505]

Lucky Lacey!!!



[323drew]

Nice

[swvcat1]

The arrangement they came up with was good but Val definitely choked a bit in the section 02:31 near the beginning...as if he was searching for the note after he did that passage on the G-string. His pinky is a bit weak....but it was a good arrangement .

[jules4socca]

@swvcat1 a bit nit picky, but still, nice review

[bribri9910]

mark best dancer val best music :)

[Emmanouel7]

val is better in dancing for sure.

[allstarweekend4444]

Val for music and Mark for dancing

[Ballakun]

@allstarweekend4444 Val for dance, val is more better, he was 5th in the world

[xiomararbdrebels]

Hard to choose but I have to go with Val C. :)

[NicoleH73]

Val looks like he's a freak in the bedroom! There's just something about him!

[sloppigfilms]

Mark wins!

[borntobefamous1000]

VAL LOOK ALOT LIKE MACS NO WONDER THERE BROS

[GatorDancer1026]

Where can I get this?

[123432123coolheat]

so graceful!

[123432123coolheat]

totally val! its hard to play violin and he tried his best and i think he won

[arbitermaster]

@123432123coolheat its not just hard to play it but he looked like a total badass doing it

[Flutepiccoloplayer01]

that was amazing :)

[moztovensky]

@TheAlanOBrien try buying new speakers.

[moztovensky]

yikes those violinists need to buy tuners...

[TheAlanOBrien]

@moztovensky HAve you ever heard a violin over tv? It doesnt do too well. so shut up

[bonzwah1]

like how val keeps tryin to make eye contact with mark at the end but he's just starin at the audience breathin heavily. Think they did equally well, i mean the violin part was more dominant than the acoustic guitar, but thats more about the instrument than the player. I like mark more though since i like his songs and i dont know anything about val lol

[purplepinkcupcake]

No dislikes cool!

[geishasecrets]

Val is the better dancer and musician/instrumentalist.

Mark is the better looking one, by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.

[jtimberlake2010]

I love this hope they do it again.

[purplepinkcupcake]

Mark was the best(:

[Olayright17]

Val dominated the whole thing!

[AMSC16]

Val was impression with the violin, but at the end with the electric guitar, Mark won. When it comes to choreo and dancing, Mark also wins. But good job!

[parabreed]

Val really was better for me.

[Harken4592]

SICKEST THING EVER ON DWTS LIKE THIS NOW!!!

[PaulieDi]

Val wins... hands down!

[GottaFindYou54]

Mark wins:)) Love him

[DeeTee50]

They are both crazy good, love watching muti-talented do their thing. PLUS, lol, love Mark's quote, "Better act right before you get smacked right", never heard that one before.

[DeeTee50]

They are both crazy good, love watching muti-talented do their thing.

[fifabublz17]

val is hot. damn.

[CharmedandCute123]

Sorry Val but Mark wins all the way. Not caring what anyone says Mark is the best!

[Basketball1011995]

I'd say Val wins for the musical part, but Mark wins for the dancing part. :) And I'm so glad he brought Tanisha on to dance with him. She's amazing. :) She's the lyrical dancer in Mark "All For Nothing" music video. :)

[riochoa]

Tanisha is the best!

[xWebkinzgirl1999x]

When I watched this in my bedroom, like last year? Anyways, when I noticed it was toxic, I sat up and was like "HELLO!"

[xWebkinzgirl1999x]

Mark!!Yay!!

[xaliciashawnfanx]

Mark Ballas definitely won! there's no question!!

[fanofbronson]

Mark all the way!!!!!

[Lekha84]

Mark is a good dancer. My vote would have to go to Val! I think Val is an AMAZING dancer!!!

I loved the violins! They made the song sound 100 times better then original!! I this version was sold on iTunes, I would so buy it!

[arancienne]

Lol I only just realised Lacey Schwimmer was part of dancing with the stars, I knew she was familiar

[deathscar803]

he is amazing at violin but rember there are 2 other violinists up behind them

[dancedrillut22]

The girl with Mark is Tanisha, she is only 16. She is incredible, she did some assistant choreography work for my dance team this summer. Truly incredible talent.

[dancedrillut22]

[ShawnMichaelsNo1]

Mark all the way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1000Patriot]

Nothing short of spectacular! Amazing Mark!

[ilovejr31]

The audience is the real winner! What a great performance all around! However, I do think marks music was a little better. Idk about violins but vals sounded a little scratchy and almost like some notes were oddly jumbled at the end of his solo. Either way it was a good show!

[ilovejr31]

I think her name is tanisha belnap, she's a friend/student/dancer of marks...I think she's only 16!!! What an incredible dancer !

[Mogus682]

val wins :)

[kissmybrownass]

Did anyone catch the name of the girl who was dancing with Mark Ballas? I don't recognize her. Is she one of the pros on the show?

[alibaby3203]

@kissmybrownass Might be his partner in competition?

[liukinphan33]

@PaulieDi oh i just say pretty eyes whether i'm referring to a guy or a girl haha am i wrong? either way, val is amazingg(:

[liukinphan33]

Val has pretty eyes (:

[PaulieDi]

@liukinphan33 Pretty? Uhm.... don't you mean "handsome" eyes?

[IbracadabraInter22]

im sorry but mark ballas won that

[PLHarky]

that was SO AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­

[lisapizza16]

Love mark!!

[JulesHough]

VAL SO WON!

[StellarEnergy89]

Damn! That's hot! The violin solo that is.... okay the guys are too. I would have given anything to be those girls OR instruments. Or to be there live.

[GottaFindYou54]

Mark is amazing...stole the show with Tanisha

[LemonyHope]

Goodness. What is wrong with Vals violin? I don't play the violin but I play other instruments and I know how a violin should sound and that sounds awful. Is it his violin or just the way he was playing out of nerves or something? They each did fantastic regardless! Such nimble fingers along with feet. Very VERY good job!!

[mjconnollyIII]

ALL THE DANCERS IN THIS VIDEO, WOMEN AND MEN, VAL AND MARK MUSIC, BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT, AL ARE POSSESSED BY PURE ENERGY AND PURE SPIRIT...!! ONE I WAS A CHAMP, DANCER, NOW I AM A CRIPPLED VET., GOOD GOD I DO REMEMBER, ITS ALL STILL IN ME JUST BURIED IN MY CRIPPLED BODY, MY SPIRIT STILL DANCES, I DANCE WITH FIRE AND LIGHTNING IN MY DREAMS...!!!

[PolishPixie]

val hands down for me, him and the violin plus the dancing mhm :D

[RsGAMERftw]

whats the song they play in the competition?

[Hardliner1269]

@RsGAMERftw Why it's Britney Spears 'Toxic'...

[jmac10986]

lacy is hott

[1000Patriot]

WOW! Mark Ballas is so gifted! He's an amazingly multi-talented man. BRAVO Mark! You stole the show.

[Sapphira514]

''the musics gonna start, and then evry1s gonna rlize...that u suck" haha

[Krystal57312]

WHOO-HOO! GO MARK & TANISHA! its obvious they won!

first britney spears, then glee, now DWTS!

i luv this song even more now!

[bookworm113]

val is so sexy......

[lincolnnewbie]

Everytime I hear Toxic now, I am going to think about Mark and Val in this video.

[SBMB1234]

Absolutely adored this and there was no question Mark won it!

[hsm2person]

Mark and Val are so talented. It's weird that Maks and Val kinda look a like

[SuperCaMeroon]

@hsm2person their brothers

[MegaDragonLeo]

love it love it love it love it!!!! i want the music

[Yoshidoce2006]

That was awesome. Those two could be world class if they ever got a show troupe together for music and dance.

[airwo11]

Epic

[Melaniee9]

mark (L)

[anastasiaT1234]

A battle to a britney spears song-- oh I'm soooooo scared

[iStoledYourCooki3z]

i love who mark and val danced with for toxic who did they dance with and does anyone know where i could find pictures of the girls hair?

[bethann213]

@iStoledYourCooki3z Val danced with Lacey. Mark danced with Tanisha Belnap. She is one of Mark's students and she is only 16.

[JessicaTunes]

I say they make the song better

[PaulieDi]

Val is a magnificant performer (dancer), artist (violinst) and now hip-hop singer/rappper. Seeing him on DWTS really adds a lot of spice to the Show. Just love him, as well as older brother Maks. He wins hands-down in this duel, even though Mark is excellent himself. There's just that "something extra" about Val that grabs your attention. *****

[WanderingPup]

Val is the bomb best violinist

[love4musicable]

Lacy rocks!

[warriorwolf777]

This is my fave thing so far on season 11!

[RoorenSan]

Does anyone know if this version of toxic will be available on itunes? I LOVE it :)

[Msharuno]

looking at Lacey Shwimmer from the side, she actually LOOKS like Britney! @_@

[KeshaUnreleased]

I wonder if Brintey saw this. She better have!

[Sing123lalala]

the violin won!!!!!

[GeorgeYourSexyBf]

toxic

[Legohood]

[sweetcutie27]
