Hi everyone,
Thanks for your comments again.
First, I want to close the chapter on the judges before getting into the dances. I felt like they were better Monday night and did not have the "insanity bug." I applaud them for sticking to the job requirements and giving some constructive criticism. Bruno is still heavily auditioning for something, but it was a lot better. I'm fine with all the gimmicks if there's a right balance with what they're supposed to do. The only thing that I don't understand is that Carrie Ann has shows where she does not point out one mishap everyone sees and then has shows where she points out the tiniest things that nobody sees, like what she did with Joanna in her paso doble. This is when you feel like she wasn't ready to give a 10. But overall, I thought their marks were OK and their comments were more productive and helpful. The funny thing is, I was backstage with a bunch of people and ...

Hi everyone,
I hope you had a great weekend. Thank you for all of your comments last week! It was great to see your responses. Honestly, I'm so tired of superficial stuff and I felt like I needed to say what was on my mind and I'm glad I did.
The whole situation reminds me of ESPN or a sports network. They're amazing, but there are so many people that are talking generically. You watch a game and the "analysts" are like: "Well, if the quarterback would throw the ball more accurately, then they would have better success at catching it." OK, really? Thanks for telling me that. This kind of stuff they do a lot and once in a while you get somebody who can actually formulate thoughts and actually talk about things honestly and intellectually ...

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your comments once again. I have a lot of thoughts about Monday's show, so let's get right down to it.
First of all, I thought I was in the Twilight Zone because I didn't understand what was happening and what was going on with the results. Don't get me wrong. I love everybody there, but the judges were not making any sense at all and that bothered me.
With all due respect, Len, Bruno and Carrie Ann are great. I love them. They all bring a unique character to the show and known worldwide for it, but they are being looked to for expert opinion on dancing and nobody wants to see them ...

Hi everyone,
Hope you had a great Halloween! Thanks for your comments again. I'm finding that more and more people are getting educated about dance — not just from me — and I love it.
The Taylor Swift performance last week was fun. I don't know how our outfits translated on-screen, but in reality, we were being laughed at. I love those kinds of costumes though. I did it for Halloween and a few years ago, I went to a friend's birthday party and it was a ...

This week Extreme is in Davis County, Kentucky to meet the Mattingly family — as well as Clint Black, our "Get On The Bus" celebrity volunteer.
Two years ago, Steve Mattingly was responding to a fire call at a neighborhood home, where he was asked to direct traffic around the site. Steve's wife Melissa was driving by the fire when disaster struck. Steve was hit full speed, by a car that didn't see him. An EMT herself, Melissa immediately got out of her car and ran to care for her husband. In the days following, Steven had suffered multiple injuries, brain damage and amnesia. To date, Steven has had seven surgeries to try to repair the damage. Thank God Melissa was there, she saved his life, she knew what to do. They both know what to do when they 're the first ones on the scene of an accident like that. He wasn't supposed to make it, but she made sure he did.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your comments once again! I just finished camera-blocking for the results show. As you may have heard, I'm dancing during a Taylor Swift number. The routine is great. It's one of those really fun numbers. Jonathan and Anna choreographed it. It's very ballroom-y. We're having a great time with it. We're dancing up on the balcony and all that. It's a younger generation-type song, so we're really enjoying ourselves.
It's nice to be back in L.A. As I said in my last entry, I went home for a few days. I had an amazing time in New York. I surprised everybody when I was home. My manager thought she had an appointment for me with somebody ...

Hi everyone,
I hope you had a great week. Thanks for your comments about the Michael Jackson dance! I had a blast doing it. To do it in front of his mother and most of his family was the most amazing thing I could've ever done in my life. I've gotten to do so many things in the past five years that would make me say, "I can die right now and I'm good to go," and then something else comes up and something else comes up. It's quite incredible.
The performance was pre-taped because it was such a big production and the whole cast was involved. We taped it about 15 minutes ...
