Donny Osmond Dancing with the Stars Win
Posted In: Entertainment by MissRandomOkay, am I the only one who thought Mya was going to go all the way in the Dancing with the Stars finale? She was the only consistently GOOD dancer who always managed to score phenomenally. Yet somehow, Donny Osmond managed to snag this year’s trophy from her.
Let’s forget that Mya is a trained dancer and singer (which is sorta cheating in my book) for a second. I do think she should have won purely on talent alone, but Dancing with the Stars is NOT about talent – it’s about popularity. Yes I know these are B-list and C-list stars we are talking about, but that is still a factor. Donny Osmond, star of the 70′s and some would say 80′s has been on and off television for decades with his sister Marie (who finished 3rd on Dancing with the Stars 2 years ago) is obviously the more popular star.
Mya has had a string of hits since the late 90′s early 00′s, but hasn’t really had a hit album since 2003. Her last album Liberation and Sugar & Spice was released in Japan. So becoming a Dancing with the Stars Alum was definitely a good move for her. If she’s smart, she will drop a single in the next couple of weeks or so to capitalize on this latest wave of fame (hint, hint).
Don’t get me wrong, I am happy for Donny Osmond. He seems to be a very cool and genuinely nice guy. And TV is definitely lacking that wholesome appeal, so kudos to Dancing with the Stars. Honorable mention to miss Kelly Osborne who I couldn’t stand until this show. The foul-mouthed , bad tempered daughter of legendary rocker Ozzie really came into her own this season. She was pleasant, polite, sweet and oddly endearing. Not to mention she danced really well.
I’m so amazed by the turnout this season, that I may just tune in for March’s next batch of Dancing with the Stars candidates. A suggestion for the show… John and Kate Gosselin. If ABC can pull that off, they will have the most highly rated show for the 2009-2010 season! Fat chance right? LOL
