Could Donny Have Done It?

The Dancing with the Stars Season 9 Finals was supposed to be a shoo-in for Mya. The only dancer to receive perfect scores during competition going up against solid but not spectacular dancers. But wait, not so fast… this season has been anything but predictable.

Round 1 of the Finals held no surprises. Performing traditional routines, Mya’s paso was perfect, followed by Donny Osmond’s cha cha cha then Kelly Osbourne’s Argentine tango.

The Mega Mix Challenge of Round 2 was tough to watch. Just too much movement to see and take in. I thought the format of this round was kind of a flop. Mya got the judges’ nod then Donny then Kelly.

Then came the infamous freestyle. My all time favorite has to be Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke’s “brokeback” freestyle. Talk about redefining dance.

This year’s freestyles? Boring. I really miss the freestyle choreography of pros named Burke, Ballas, or Hough. Kelly Osbourne let it roll but had too many (fun-loving) mistakes. Did Mya just lose the Mirrorball trophy with her safe freestyle? Technically, it looked good, but yeah, it was boring. Gotta wonder about Dmitry’s freestyle selection if they in fact lose.

Miraculously Donny Osmond has a chance of winning the competition. Kym Johnson’s strategy of showcasing Donny’s unparalleled showmanship was the right move. So Donny’s Broadway-themed routine didn’t bust the funk, but the fans and the judges absolutely loved it. Coupled with his popularity, could Donny have done it and won the DWTS championship?
