I just have trouble believing that James VanderBeek got cut last night. I could swear I saw some flubs in Ally's performance, but I admit I am no judge.
This lack of compassion stunned me. There is no way James over-dramatized this one. We lost my daughter's twin 21 years ago, and it still once in awhile sneaks up on me and takes my breath away. The ladies this season moaned and whined at every turn. I usually vote female every chance I get, but this was an easy one. James' dance was outstanding and moving, an absolutely stellar performance.
My daughter took dance for 13 years, going from Tiptoe Through the Tulips to placing with solo performances at national competitions. I love dance. But I will watch other shows Monday nights from now on.
