Hey guys! Welcome to my DWTS recap. This week was stars' stories week and DWTS was on both Monday and Tuesday night. Monday was Most Memorable Year night and Tuesday was Prom night. It was a very emotional week so let's get into it.
First, Most Memorable Year night.
Dance - Jazz
Song - "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
Most memorable year - 2009 - the year he realized his dream
Judges' scores - 8, 8, 8, 8 = 32/40
My score - 8.5
Every time I log on to Twitter, I see the same shit - "it was boring" "it was more of a contemporary" - and I actually disagree. I loved it (I also love the song) and I think that this was one of his best dances.
Check out their dance:

Song - "Roar (Acoustic)" by Katy Perry
Most memorable year - 2013 - the year she snapped her leg in two
Judges' scores - 8, 8, 8, 8 = 32/40

This was beautiful and they looked amazing. However, when she's in frame, she needs to lower her shoulders a bit but I still loved it.

My score - 9
This was beautiful and the lifts were incredible. One of the judges did say that one of the lifts did have a little mishap but I didn't even notice it until I rewatched it. It's pretty hard to notice so it didn't take anything away from the dance.
