I got to watch the Dancing with the Stars finale last night!! Woo hoo!! Everyone really did a great job and Shawn, Giles, and Melissa are definitely the three that should be there. So, last night...
I agree with everything the judges said. In the freestyle, Shawn was amazing. Her dance was fun, had a lot of tricks but also a lot of dancing. They were really in sync. Melissa was a disappointment. VERY disjointed and un-entertaining. Even the audience thought so (if you listen, the response was A LOT less than the response to Shawn and Mark's dance).
Here's what is really disappointing: Tony is a great professional dancer, but he bombs in the finals. He had Stacy Keebler in the finals and she did one of the most boring freestyle routines and it didn't highlight her talent at all. And he did the same thing with Melissa. Gotta blame that on the professional. I think that Shawn should be above Melissa not just because of the freestyle dance (Shawn got a perfect score), but becuase Shawn does her routines almost flawlessly everytime and she really becomes a part of the dance. Melissa misses a lot of her steps and there is sometimes a disconnect. PLUS, what really aggravates me about Melissa is that her outfits are getting skimpier and skimpier. It's almost as if she is trying to win the audience over with her body and not her ability (plus, many of her fans want her to succeed because they feel bad for her and what happened on "The Bachelor").
Giles has been the frontrunner all the way, even getting comments from the judges that it was hard to tell who the professional dancer is -- plus, his partner is Cheryl and she's awesome. His freestyle fell a little bit short as well. Cheryl does amazing freestyle routines (amazing routines, in general), so I was surprised that this was a little sub-par, especially since she is dancing with one of the best partners she has had EVER on DWTS. Giles, however, will probably win (and rightfully should) because he is an amazing dancer.
So, here's how I think things should look: Winner -- Giles; 2nd place -- Shawn; 3rd place -- Melissa. I guess we'll see tonight.
