Hey guys! Welcome to my semifinals recap.
I can't believe this season is almost over and I have one recap left. I really wish DWTS would bring back spring seasons instead of just one season a year because I hate waiting one full year for another season. This week, there were two rounds of competition. So, I'm going to start with round 1.
Dance - Paso Doble
Song - "Beggin'" by Maneskin
Judges' scores - 9, 9, 9, 9 = 36/40
My score - 9
First of all, congratulations to Witney, her husband and her son for expecting baby number 2.
As for the dance, it was amazing. However, I feel like it could've been a bit more sharper.
Check out their dance:
Dance - Viennese Waltz
Song - "Surprise Yourself" by Jack Garratt
Judges' scores - 9, 8, 9, 9 = 35/40
My score - 8.5
This was great but I also feel like it was kinda skippy at times and his frame could've been better.

I loved this! It was sharp, high energy, and powerful. However, compared to some of the other dances, I just didn't enjoy it as much.

I loved the choreo and the first but it just felt kinda flat footed to me.

Dance - Waltz
Song - "I'm Kissing You" by Des'ree
Judges' scores - 10, 10, 10, 10 = 40/40

That's it for round one. Now, onto round two.
Dance - Viennese Waltz
Song - "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" by James Brown
Judges' scores - 10, 9, 9, 9 = 37/40
My score - 10
The fact that this didn't get a perfect score is beyond me. The footwork was amazing, his frame was great and his lines were beautiful.
Check out their dance:
Dance -Samba
Song - "Light It Up (Remix)" by Major Lazer feat. Nyla and Fuse ODG
Judges' scores - 9, 8, 9, 8 = 34/40

This was fun and I loved the fits. However, I just felt like it was a bit flat footed.
Check out their dance:
Dance - Viennese Waltz
Song - "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston
Judges' scores - 10, 9, 9, 9 = 37/40
My score - 9/10
This was beautiful. Her lines were nice and her frame was great. However, some of the moves just seemed a bit awkward to me.
Check out their dance:
Dance - Paso Doble
Song - "Espana cani" by Pascual Marquina
Judges' scores - 10, 10, 10, 10 = 40/40

Easily the best paso doble I've ever seen on any dance show ever. Perfection.

Dance - Viennese Waltz
Song - "Count On Me" by Judah Kelly
Judges' scores - 9, 8, 8, 8 = 33/40
My score - 8.5
I really liked this. However, I also feel like it was a bit skippy too and his frame also seemed a bit off to me but I liked it better than his cha cha. I'm also a massive fan of his so it sucks to see him go.
Check out their dance:
Dance - Paso Doble
Song - "Malaguena" by Brian Setzer
Judges' scores - 10, 10, 10, 10 = 40/40
