Karina Smirnoff & maksim chmerkovskiy Emmy

[joeanddemijemi]

This was a great performance! But seriously, they broke up about a week before this happened. They were so cutee! Why did they break up?!?! Uhhh but seriously Karina & Maks are both incredible dancers !

[MannyHuhnni]

To everybody saying Maks is just as good as Karina or that he is the best dancer on DWTS, this is for you: Karina (and Louis) are the best dancers the show has. Hands down. Specially Karina, she came second several times at the biggest dance competition in the world (Blackpool) all the other DWTS pros never even came close to the finals. She is the first ever woman to make the finals with 3 different partners. Shes a legend in the dancesport world. Its a fact. I love Maks but he's far from that.

[MannyHuhnni]

@619anastasia Come on now you've been posting those same comments on every Karina video you could find ! Get a life already ! and FYI Karina is actually half russian half ukrainian since her mother is russian so there you go.

[jeff4justice]

I want to be the first openly-gay YouTuber living out of an SUV cast on Dancing With The Stars. My dream dance partner would be Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

See my vlog about this, look up: Alex Jones On Dancing With The Stars

[NicoleH73]

Mak's looked like he was emotionally checked out of this performance.

[Zolotinochka]

прикольно

[sassy808]

I think she borrowed Yulia's dance costume from youtube.com/watch?v=RQv8FSi37N­A

[8182570]

Yes Emmys, bring in the ex-fiances to dance together yuuuuup lool They did a great job nonetheless!  True professionals. I just love Maks he is incredible!

[small5th]

@8182570 haha to be fair...when they booked them they were still together...they only broke up a few days BEFORE this performance...that really sucked haha

[8182570]

@small5th Oh... okay well i guess that's fine then. My bad emmys, my bad :P

[purtybutterfly143]

this is by far the best dance theyve done...so unfortuante they re not a couple nemore, sooo cute togetheir! wow

[GeneralL33TSauce]

lol at the old guy at the end he looks back im not the only one cheering? xD

[MellyTV]

0:56.. is that Cheryl Burke?

[tibulcasimona]

@MellyTV no..that is katee shean from sytycd

[PopStopTV]

we just interviewed karina about dancing with the situation she is so sweet

[thesqaanalyst]

Maks and Derek are the best dancers on the show.

[TheJuleoni25]

MAKS IS THE CLASS ! Big time ! Thank God , he changed his mind about the marriage !

[tashas]

I love Maks but he can't keep up with Karina...

[crazy4LATIN]

I feel embarassed for maxim.He's definitely out of his league here.

[6981487]

no really? they broke up :O !!!?? sorry if i'm late but i am in canada so i dont know the news.. !! but woahh it's sad :(... and they are both extroadinary, but in simple different ways !

[shetaz905]

Okay, I'm watching all the lifts and the dance steps...and I'm seeing Maks do all the work...so I'm wondering why everyone is raving about Karina. Huh? She is definitely doing her thing, but this choreography is all lifts.

[talk2minie]

@shetaz905 I completely agree. Glad someone said it!! She is phenomenal but so is he. This routine did not showcase the male dancer's dance skill's so much as it showcased strength. He is a fantastic dancer!

[shetaz905]

@talk2minie Thanks! I know that Karina is rated higher than Maks, but he did this performance after they broke up. He held to his word; and as I said before, this choreography is all lifts for him. I just love dancing.

[meganc311]

Simple. I have eyes and I can see.

[meganc311]

To me Maks is the best their is. They are in different leagues. He is in a much better one.

[AceyBlade]

@meganc311

I'm really interested to hear your reasoning. FYI, Karina's best placement in one of the most prestigious competitions in the world (UK Open) is number one where as Maksim finished 7th at best.

[chamcham212]

@meganc311

You are funny. The best male pro in the show is Louis, not Maks. The best female pro is Karina. Period!!! They can crash anyone in the show.

[meganc311]

@chamcham212 Last time I checked, this was still a free country which means we can think and feel however we want. If you don't like that then to bad.

[NDancingQueen]

i likeeeeeeeeeeeeee it<3

[sagisli]

You maksim fans get so upset if anybody says about him. I don't like his dancing. I've seen better and he looks fat this year. He should shave his face too. Sometimes he even looks like he got cross eyes. I'm tired of his people going after Karina. They broke up and like moves on. You ladies lose your head over him but maybe not if you dated him.

[funkyfrash]

@sagisli

Hey, I know this is a year ago, but.. " he looks fat this year. He should shave his face too. Sometimes he even looks like he got cross eyes." Could you be more shallow? Get off that high horse of yours. I agree, nobody should be going after Karina, but your statements validate that how...?

[Maryfizz2]

oh boy ... how can Karina be in a different league of dance than Maks do u ppl have eyes to see or do u even think about what ur writing before u write it.... obviously it was an awkward time after they broke up and its good that they can put that aside and still be professional about it ...some comments are just biased becuz some of u like Karina just say that dont be biased everyone has a right to personal opinion but being biased is just upsetting annoying and UNNECESSARY ppl PLEASE!!!

[xxshxx1]

considering that this is like only a few weeks after they broke up i though maksim handled himself really well; he only did it for her, so i don't think 'she's in a different league of dancer than him', i think it was probably kind of awkward. but they are both amazing :P

[MaxRide714]

@Californiachik85 Yeah I really love Derek. I still think Maks is the best dancer. I think Derek is the best teacher. And the best choreographer. Okay let's just say they're tied.

[Rocketjay12]

I hate seeing good dancers like them doing this hip hop crap.

[crazyformenudo9]

some people said that they broke up because aaron carter on dancing with the stars!!

i just like the way she dances!!!

what song is this?????

[HM8290]

i mean going from slavik to maksim ... professionally she was FAR better off with Slavik... at least there was some kind of balance/equilibrium between them in terms of professionalism and scale of virtuosity in dance. here, she maskes max look like an amateur

[ChristianBabe4lif]

I only noticed one stumble at the end, the rest of the dance looked perfectly fine to me.

[xyf888]

I never knew about their break up until i saw the comments. Well must have had a lot of negative effects on Maks since he fell off balance several times.

[bigmommajo]

Maks and Karina grew up and trained at the same studio as teens under master coach, Victor Kanevsky. Victor's revealed during workshops that Karina is perfectionist with dance, pushing herself beyond pain thresholds...broken toes, back problems, etc., all before age 30. Maks is equally amazing at technique, but the sneakers kinda held him back here.

[Sawsoonah]

Maks is a very passionate dancer, & I agree with u that he's dancing is very different & awkward here.

But I don't think it was the sneakers, he's heartbroken & the last thing he wanted 2 do was dancing with the girl that cheated on him!

[12stel]

you know that, right? You somehow know the reason they broke up , he probably confided in you - lmao

[Sawsoonah]

do u ever keep track on what's goin on? Have u ever heard the song that Val sung to Maks?

[12stel]

ha?  what in the world does that mean???

[belladharma]

It's pretty common knowledge that they broke up because she was cheating on him. Doesn't require him to personally confide in anyone, when it's something that people already know.

[12stel]

oh come on , unless either one of them declared publicly that this is what happened - it is NOT common knowledge - give me a break! Anyway, if I had to bet on anyone cheating it would definetely be Maks not Karina. Just don't understand why everyone hates her - because she's good looking and foreign i guess.

[belladharma]

lol, I have plenty of good-looking, foreign friends, and I'm perfectly fine with them.

Karina's a great dancer, no doubt. But her track record isn't so great in relationships, and she was seen making out with another guy almost immediately after she and Maks broke up.

I don't understand why you feel so defensive of her - because you think she's more attractive I guess.

[12stel]

here you go again talking abt "track record" , etc. The fact is that you just don't know. Unless it's admitted publicly like Gosselins, it's just rumours and gossip. I'm not defending her, but defending anyone's right not to be destroyed by stupid rumour mill. Btw, Karina had a 2 yr relatioship w/ lopez until he cheated on her, she also had another long tem relatiosnship w/ another dancer - track record?

[belladharma]

She was videoed a couple of days after the breakup making out with another dude in a club. Sorry, but that doesn't exactly cast her in a good light.

But hey, you're obviously a fan of hers and that's cool. I've no real desire to debate the character of some chick on a dancing show with a total stranger :)

[sagisli]

Thanks for posting this. Karina is magnificent as usual. Her outfit, her timing, everything is amazing. Max's sneakers looked so stupid, he looked totally out of sync with her. She's in a different league of dancer than he is.Karina is a dance legend, probably the greatest of modern times.

[TheLifesadance]

Couldnt agree more :)

[MaxRide714]

@sagisli whatEVER! I agree that Karina is a phenomenal dancer, as are all the dancers on DWTS but Maks is just as good! He's been called the best male dancer on DWTS. & he probably didn't even pick out his own wardrobe.

[Californiachik85]

I think Derek is the best pro male dancer. Maks is the second best.

[rodzmen1]

@sagisli Maybe she would have been out of sync had she been the one getting burned? He is a much happier man today than he was then.

[meganc311]

@rodzmen1 I agree with you completely!!!!

[meganc311]

@rodzmen1 You are so right!

[Spetz]

@sagisli

It's cuz they broke up before this was taped so he was off mentally.

[halobebe]

@Spetz when did maks tell you this. sha is a better dancer fact.

[Spetz]

@halobebe

He didn't tell me this we're not buddy buddies...it was covered by many news sources that they broke up before this.

[fwc1066]

@sagisli I disagree. I think Maks is a fantastic dancer too. He brings sex appeal and energy that few can match. Karina is good but she is a bit too stripper-like for me.

[naty04191]

@sagisli completely agree !

[PaulieDi]

Brillliant piece of music. Love it, and I just love watching Maks dance up there. I would be very proud to have made it to the Emmys. Thnx for posting this. 5+

[aidylnat]

D-trix, ryan and hok from quest are in there too!

[BabyDe111]

i just realised he was wearing sneakers...

[Californiachik85]

love the song!!!

[chalalala913]

they are professional dancers, it doesn't matter if they fight or not, they understand that the show must go on. It's always drama drama drama, ok stop, DANCE~

[kougra101]

completely agree

[HannichkaK]

@chalalala913 I agree!Karina used to fight...literary fight(she used to slap him,he used to drag her by her hair)with her partner Slavik Kryklyvyj and they would come out on the dance floor and no one knew what was going on!!!

[wbwmn]

I think one of those backup dancers was Mark Kannemara (sp?) from SYTYCD. He was also in one of the Macy's dances on DWTS.

[whitemenaresexy]

You can tell they hate each other throw their aggressive routine. But it also looks like they could have had sex afterwards to blow off steam. Can someone please tell me what song they're dancing to?

[jesi2088]

the song is called "la la la" by LMFAO

[nancydrew999]

so what is the rumor about why they broke up?

[Sinnawai]

it must of been hard doing this after they broke up. that kinda sucks

[toriluvsdancinx]

@Sinnawai so are they not together then now ??

[Sinnawai]

@toriluvsdancinx

Yup they broke up after like 9 months

[mmaakkiinn]

" I feel on top of the world "

[missrachelemilyx]

does anyone know the song?

[TheSwellBell]

LALALA by LMFAO haha

[SMAXX34]

Was'nt that Quest Crew from abdc? Who sings this?

[ocaddictive21]

i think the quest crew is there backup dancers...

[Randa2006]

cool!

[latina3434arabe]

I like her outfit

[ocaddictive21]

la la la by lmfao!!

[jennyluvsyu7]

whats that song the danced to called?
