Last night was a very interesting night on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.  I have been looking forward to tango/paso doble night for a little while, it never disappoints.

Argentine Tango is my favorite ballroom dance. Heat, passion, lust, anger and awesome legwork are always in order. The one contestant who really pulled it out of the bag and delivered wholeheartedly was “little” Aaron Carter. Damn if he didn’t pull it together, focus and connect with excellent precision and a LOT of lust for Karina (he’s a young man, who can blame him?). After his last two low-score weeks (and I don’t completely agree with the judges on that) this was new life in his dancing. Unfortunately, his scores were not as good as some of the other contestants, but I really think he gave it all and did excellently (and the judges did like it a lot).

The one dance that I was really looking forward to was Kelly Osbourne’s paso doble.  She was doing it to her father Ozzy’s song “Crazy Train” and I thought “oh yeah, this will be great.” It was good, she looked great in her grey skirt and spiky hair, and Louis looked great in his Ozzy Ozbourne makeup.

But I think her nerves got the better of her again, I feel like she’s holding on too hard to NOT mess up.  I think she held on less in the very first week of competition maybe because it was her first time doing this and she thought “what do I have to lose?”  And now, she got such high praise (well deserved) that now she’s afraid to not live up to those standards.  Just let go Kelly, and HAVE FUN–you’re great as-is.

On a different note, the hair was completely out of control last night.  In fact, Tom Bergeron called it when he said “hairstyles by Fellini.” The ‘do I really liked was Kelly’s ,she looked like a blonde version of her father from the early 80′s.  But Lacey’s ratty looking faux-hawk just didn’t read well on TV.  As well, Samantha Harris’ terrible, frizzy curly ‘do made her look like she had it done in 1983 with bad hot rollers (and she’s the worlds most glamorous paper doll on TV, they really know how to dress her up).  Ugh.  THEN to top it off, all the guys wore the silliest, poufy wigs for the Hustle group dance–but that was pure fun! ;o)
