I will say that "Let It Go" is now one of my all-time favorite Disney songs, and I'm kinda bummed that Peta got it, and they're doing a contemporary. 

I'm sorry to have missed the Monkey Song from the Jungle Book.  Phil Harris was a great talent.

In seeing some of the posts on the ABC board, it seems Erin is still up to her intrusive and ignorant comments/questions.  Makes me glad I don't have to deal with the hostility I'd be feeling if I had watched.

But, I DO miss Maks!

Just realized I never posted my thoughts about last week's show.  I agree with almost everything SLA said, except that song choice aside, my gosh I enjoyed watching Meryl and Maks (okay, mostly Maks - he had that hip thing going on good!!    ).  I thought Danica and Val's quickstep was terrific.  I also thought Candace did well.  Nene was so overscored it wasn't even funny.  I mean, seriously, on what planet do Nene and Meryl get the same scores?  Good grief.  Charlie's dance was really difficult, and I thought he did great, but I did at times find it all a bit too much.  I think I would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been quite so full of content that it seemed rushed at times.  I thought everything did okay, but agree that there was little content again with Amy, and I hated that fog machine.  Just on their rehearsal footage alone Nene should have gone home last week, and I hope she goes this week.  When she snapped her fingers in Tony's face, I was hoping he'd tell her she's not all that and a bag of chips.  I was annoyed that James and Peta got the first perfect score of the season.  That contemporary was okay, but the special effects were the best part of it.  And if you've seen the movie, the dance made no sense.  Elsa never had a love interest, so it was just all wrong.  Not to mention the song isn't about love at all really.  Oh well.  Over all, I had fun watching it, but as often happens, the judges were on crack or something because the scores mostly made no sense at all. 


Just had to add that Maks was fabulous in his dance.  It was a weird choice, but boy did he look like he was having fun with it, and those hips were just mesmerizing.  I had to agree with Donny's comment to Maks that he needed to tone it down a bit so people could watch Meryl.  She was great too but boy was Maks fun to watch!
