“Dancing With the Stars” celebrity competitor Mya couldn’t let up after three rounds of competition as she and partner Dmitry Chaplin displayed rounds of outstanding swirls for the judges to put them on top of the “Dancing With The Stars” leader board with 87 out of 90 points.
“That was love set to music,” Judge Bruno Tonioli who applauded the pair for their elegant waltz performance during the first round. “I absolutely loved it.”
The duo’s second round salsa number made it even more impossible for Bruno to express his delight. “Only one word can describe this – Sensational,” the judge screamed in exultation as the couple went on to receive a perfect 30 out of 30 score. Their final cha-cha performance was impressive as well, giving the pop star and Dmitry a score of 29 out of 30.
Meanwhile, Joanna Krupa and partner Derek Hough took second place with 81 out of 90 points. The Viennese Waltz, with the help of Derek’s former partner Brooke Burke during practice, was the highlight from the duo. “This waltz had the grace of angels in heaven,” Bruno commented.
Kelly Osbourne and partner Louis van Amstel may have taken third place with 78 points, but judge Carrie Ann Inaba was more than impressed with Osbourne’s first round rumba performance.
“You brought me to tears,” Carrie Anne said, crying. “You aren’t our strongest dancer… but you have a magical quality. You reach right into [our] heart and you make me love you.”
As for Donny Osmond and partner Kym Johnson, a slip in the first round made by the singer had the judges shaking their heads. Though the duo got it together for their last two dances, their scores weren’t enough to secure them a good spot on the leader board.
