DWTS Season 16: It's Time For Another Goodbye
The show started with a Latin dance performed by the professionals. It was cute and I liked it. Kellie got immunity last night so she is safe. Michael Buble performed his song Come And Dance With Me. I love his voice. The song was very good. The judges chose Ali's Salsa as the encore dance. This was my favorite dance last night and even better tonight. It's just so much fun! Zendaya is safe. Jacoby is in danger. Ali is safe. Ingo is in danger. The AT&T Spotlight dance was up next. It's about a woman who helps and inspires kids who live in a bad town. They are just a big family. They were so good! It was hip hop mixed with drill team moves. The Macy's Stars Of Dance was next. It was amazing! It featured Twitch who is one of my favorite dancers. The pros performed another dance number. It was a little weird but I liked it. Sean is safe. Andy is in danger. Jacoby is safe which means Ingo and Andy are in danger. Andy is eliminated. I'm sad because I really love him.
Come back next week for more!

♥April Favorites♥
Can you guys believe April is over already? This year is flying by! This month wasn't too exciting. Living in the midwest we were hoping it was going to be warming up. We were wrong. It snowed just last week! Luckily it has finally been warm. I really want to do a summer series so let me know what you want to see. Also tell me your favorites.
Music:
The first song I've been loving is Cruise by Florida Georgia Line. This song just reminds me of summer. It is a country song but they also have a remix featuring Nelly. I'm obsessed with both. It is a very very catchy song even if you aren't a country music person.
The second song is The Way by Ariana Grande featuring Mac Miller. When I first heard this on the radio I honestly thought it was Mariah Carey. They sound so similar! I love everything about this song. The video is really cute too. She has made me a fan.
The third song is Cry Your Heart Out by Olly Murs. I've been playing this whole album over and over. If you don't have it yet you must go buy it ASAP. This song is amazing. I love the whole message it portrays. Although if I was dating Olly Murs, I wouldn't be breaking up with him anytime soon. I'm just saying.
TV Show:
I can't get enough of The Voice this season! I honestly get so excited every Monday night. I love that Usher and Shakira are now a part of the show. I think it makes the dynamic of the coaches so much better. The singers this season are AMAZING! I'm Team Adam all the way! I do like Usher's team though too. My sister and I were dating which team we'd choose if we were on the show. We decided we'd pick Adam. Who would you choose?
Movie:
I love Something Borrowed. I had seen this movie awhile back but had forgot it. I saw it on one afternoon and realized how much I actually enjoyed it. It's a love story but also full of drama. I've read the book too but honestly the movie was better. The guys in this film are super cute too.
Food:
For some reason I couldn't stop eating Twizzlers this month. It didn't matter which flavor either. I had strawberry, green apple, watermelon, and many more. I do love sweets so I'm not too surprised. They are just easy to eat. If you are studying, watching TV, or on the go you can just grab a few and have no mess.
Random:
I'm always looking at the latest fashions. I found a new site called DailyLook. It's free to sign up and every day they email you three complete outfit ideas. You can purchase the entire look or just one item in the look. You are not obligated to buy anything. If you love fashion, I recommend this site. You can sign up for free using this link http://www.DailyLook.com/?refMemberID=-191981418819209798&aaid=give10get10
Game:
You guys I have a SERIOUS addiction. I can't stop playing Candy Crush Saga. My friend and my sister convinced me to play. I was instantly hooked! It's just so addicting but also challenging. You have to really concentrate on what move to make next. If you aren't playing then go check it out.
Book:
I've been reading so much lately. This month my favorite was Sunday's at Tiffany's by James Patterson. I finished it in 3 days. It is a romance story of course. It's about a girl who had an imaginary friend growing up and he comes back when she grows up. It's hard to explain but trust me it's amazing.
Quote:
This quote just fits my entire month. Always be yourself and don't change for anybody. So what if nobody likes the music, TV shows, or movies that you do. Being yourself makes you happy and that is what's important. If anyone tries to change you then they don't care about you. So the less is keep calm and be yourself.
Moment:
Something exciting did happen this month. Cody Simpson followed me on Twitter!!! All I did was tweet lyrics from his newest song Pretty Brown Eyes and 10 minutes later he followed me. My first celebrity follower! I didn't freak out too much though.

DWTS Season 16: It's Latin Night!!!!
It's week 7 and tonight is Latin night. Each couple will dance to a Latin hit. I love Latin dances so I was very excited. There will be 2 rounds of dances. The couple with the highest score after round 1 will have immunity. The remaining couples will compete in a dance off. The winner of each dance off get an extra 3 points added their score. I really liked the dance off idea. I hope it continues to other seasons.
Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff:
He says dancing it much harder on the body than football. This week he danced the Salsa. I had high expectations for this dance. He is such a smooth dancer I thought it'd be perfect for him. I didn't love it. It had too many lifts and tricks. The judges loved it though. His score was 27 out of 30.
He used his General Hospital character as inspiration this week. This week he danced the Rumba. I'm usually not a fan of this dance style but I really liked it. It was faster than a normal Rumba but very sexy. The judges weren't big fans. His score was 22 out of 30.
She had travel for shows this week. This week she danced the Samba. It was so fun! Their dances are always so exciting. She has always been one of my favorites though. Her score was 29 out of 30.
He is constantly in the bottom of the pack. This week he danced the Rumba. I just love him! He is not a great dancer but he always makes you happy. Sometimes I think that means more. He really does try. The judges are hard on him though. His score was 17 out of 30.
Mark was injured during rehearsal but luckily he was able to perform tonight. This week she danced the Salsa. This was my favorite of the night! It had lots of Salsa moves plus so much fun. It's the most fun I've seen her have. I think it was her personal best. The judges loved it too. Her score was 29 out of 30.
Last week he was almost eliminated so he needs to redeem himself. This week he danced the Rumba. He did a good job. He still needs a lot of work. It was very stiff. He really needs to just loosen up and enjoy it. The judges were split on what they thought. His score was 24 out of 30.
She really wants a perfect score. This week she danced the Paso Doble. I really liked it. It was different for her because Paso isn't a happy dance. It's all about passion and intensity. I wanted it to be more intense. The judges loved it. Her score was 27 out of 30.
Round 2: The Dance Off:
Kellie is safe and can't be voted off because she had the highest score in round 1. The remaining couples will compete in a dance off. The winner of each dance off will get 3 extra points added to their score. The first dance off is between Aly and Andy doing the Cha Cha. Aly won this round. Zendaya and Jacoby dance off to the Jive. Zendaya wins. Ingo and Sean dance off to the Rumba. Ingo won.

DWTS Season 16: Who Is The Next To Exit The Ballroom?
The show started with Olly Murs singing Troublemaker. I'm in love with him so of course I loved it. Kellie and Aly are both safe. America chose Team Paso as the encore. I'm highly disappointed in this choice. Team Samba was awesome. Zendaya is safe. Sean is in danger. Will.i.Am performed his new single Power. Sadly Justin Bieber wasn't there with him. Victor is in danger. Ingo is safe. The Macy's Stars of dance was up next. It was very cool. I didn't want it to end! The pros did a Latin fire dance to demonstrate for next week. It was amazing! Jacoby is safe. Andy is in danger. Andy is safe which means Victor and Sean are the bottom two. Victor is eliminated. I had this predicted but it's still sad to see him go.
Next week is Latin week so come back for more!

DWTS Season 16: It's Stevie Wonder Night
Welcome to Week 6! This week the couples will be dancing to songs by Stevie Wonder. This is the first time they have featured one artist for the whole show. The show started with Stevie Wonder and Hunter Hayes singing I Ain't Gonna Stand For It. This week the couples will do an individual dance and a team dance. they will either be Team Paso or Team Samba. It's up to America to decide which team gets to perform the encore. Go on Twitter use and use #encoreTEAM to vote. I always enjoy team dances so I can't wait!
Zendaya Coleman and Val Chmerkovskiy:
Her Stevie Wonder song was Do I Do. This week she danced the Cha Cha. She did great as usual. It wasn't my favorite but I did like it. I wanted it to be more fun. I view Cha Cha as fun and excitement. I just wanted more. Her score was 29 out of 30.
Andy Dick and Sharna Burgess:His Stevie Wonder song was Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours. This week he danced the Samba. I just love him. I don't even care if he is perfect. I love his personality and just smile every time he dances. His score was 18 out of 30.
Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd:
Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd:
His Stevie Wonder song was I Wish. This week he danced the Samba. I wasn't impressed. It was too bouncy. He has had way better dances than this. He did miss one day of practice but it's week 6 he should be much better. His score was 21 out of 30.
Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas:
Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough:
Victor Ortiz and Lindsay Arnold:
Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff:
Her Stevie Wonder song was Isn't She Lovely. This week she danced the Foxtrot. Of course I loved it. I thought it was young and fresh. I always love their choreography. She is one of my favorites. Her score was 27 out of 30.
Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson:
His Stevie Wonder song was Uptight (Everything's Alright). This week he danced the Tango. It was good. To me a Tango has a lot of passion. His was just fun and flirty. Maybe a different song would've been a better choice. The judges loved it though. His score was 24 out of 30.
Her Stevie Wonder song was Part-Time Lover. This week she danced the Quickstep. I loved it! It was so fast and just fun. She could win the whole thing. It was very very good. She is great every week though. Her score was 29 out of 30.
His Stevie Wonder song was I Just Called To Say I Love You. This week he danced the Rumba. Sadly I think he might go home this week. It was very stiff. It needed more hip movement and more emotion. He tried though. His score was 18 out of 30.
His Stevie Wonder song was For Once In My Life. This week he danced the Quickstep. I like him more and more every week. He makes every dance so fun. This dance was hard for him because he needs to be in hold. I like him better in Latin dances but I enjoyed it. His score was 23 out of 30.
Team Paso:
This team featured Zendaya, Victor, Ingo, and Jacoby. They danced to Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder. It was entertaining but a little messy. I didn't really like it. The dancers were all at different levels of technique so it's hard to judge. Their score was 22 out of 30. This means 22 points will be added to each of their individual scores.
Team Samba:
This team featured Kellie, Ali, Andy, and Sean. They danced to Superstition by Stevie Wonder. I LOVED it!!!!! It was so fun and energetic. The there was 70's disco which I loved! It was all together and everyone did awesome. They nailed it. Their score was 25 out of 30. This means 25 points will be added to each of their individual scores.
Here are everybody's total scores of the night:
Zendaya-51 out of 60
Andy-43 out of 60
Sean-46 out of 60
Aly-52 out of 60
Ingo-46 out of 60
Kellie-54 out of 60
Victor-40 out of 60
Jacoby-45 out of 60

The show kicked off with an amazing dance by the professionals. It was a futuristic space theme. The pros are really stepping it up this season. Kellie is safe. Ingo is in danger.

DWTS Season 16: Celebrity vs. Professional
It's week 5 already! Tonight's theme is the side by side challenge. Each celebrity must pick two professionals to dance simultaneously with them. Only 15 seconds of the dance will be danced side by side just so we can see if the celebrities are improving or not. This hasn't been done on other seasons before. The show started with a group dance featuring all the professionals and the celebrities. It was so fun. I just want to say my thoughts are with everybody in Boston during this tragedy.
Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson:
He will be dancing with Tony Dovolani and Emma Slater for the challenge. This week he danced the Cha Cha. He did an OK job. When he was doing the challenge portion you could see some mistakes. I did really enjoy the rest though. He still needs work. His score was 21 out of 30.
He will be dancing with Maks Chmerkovskiy and Anna Trebunskaya for the challenge. This week he danced the Jive. First of all Maks is back! I loved this dance! In the challenge he looked great next to Maks. It was so fun and energetic. His feet still need work but he slowly becoming a favorite of mine. His score was 26 out of 30.
He will be dancing with Tristan MacManus and Emma Slater for the challenge. This week he danced the Viennese Waltz. He did so good. He even kept up with Tristan during the challenge. I think he does better with the ballroom dances because he is contained in hold. His score was 21 out of 30.
She will be dancing with Tony Dovolani and Witney Carson for the challenge. This week she danced the Samba. I love everything she does. During the challenge her spacing seemed a little off. It was a sexy and fun dance. I enjoyed seeing this side of her. Her score was 25 out of 30.
He will be dancing with Tristan MacManus and Chelsie Hightower for the challenge. This week he danced the Quickstep. He did much better this week. I felt the challenge portion was too easy. I did love the rest of the dance. It was fast and very energetic. His score was 24 out of 30.
She will be dancing with Henry Byalikov and Anna Trebunskaya for the challenge. This week she danced the Foxtrot. I LOVED this dance! It was just so cute and romantic. It was her first ballroom dance of the season. It had an old fashioned feel but still felt young. She looked great next to Anna. Her score was 27 out of 30.
He will be dancing with Sasha Farber and Chelsie Hightower for the challenge. This week he danced the Tango. He has gotten much better but I don't think he'll last much longer. During the challenge it wasn't the best. It just lacked the aggression and the intensity. His score was 18 out of 30.
She will be dancing with Maks Chmerkovskiy and Anna Trebunskaya for the challenge. This week she danced the Argentine Tango. This is one of my favorite styles. She did AMAZING!!!! It had so much passion and I didn't want it to end. It was so sharp and clean. The lifts were insane too! Next to Anna I couldn't tell who was the professional. It was the best of the night by far. Her score was 29 out of 30.
He will be dancing with Sasha Farber and Emma Slater for the challenge/ This week he danced the Paso Doble. I just adore him! He is not the best dancer but you just can't stop watching. I really liked it. The judges were harsh I thought. During the challenge he kept up very well. His score was 18 out of 30.
Tomorrow we find out who goes home. Be sure to come back!

DWTS Season 16: It Just Wasn't The Best Year

This was my favorite dance last night and even better tonight. Jacoby and Sean are both safe. Brad Paisley performed his newest single Southern Comfort Zone. I'm not a huge fan but he did a good job. Val Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff were the pros America voted to see dance tonight. Next up was the AT&T spotlight dance. The girl is legally blind but is still following her dreams. Her favorite dancer is Derek Hough so he surprised her and they performed together. It was absolutely breathtaking! I have no words.

His favorite year was 2011 because it was the defining moment in his boxing career. This week he danced the Paso Doble. I loved him so much last week. This week was a bit of a let down. It was very passionate but the footwork was a mess. At least he tries. His score was 18 out of 30.
His favorite year was 2012 because he won the Super Bowl but mainly his son was born. This week he danced the Foxtrot. It was so cute! His posture needs some work still but he is really good. I really loved his solo too. His score was 24 out of 30.

His favorite year is 2013 because he is sober and actually living life. This week he danced the Viennese Waltz. It was his best dance yet. He dedicated it to his daughter because she supports him not matter what. It was so emotional and I almost cried. His score was 21 out 30.
Her favorite year was 2009 because he acting career began. This week she danced the Samba. I enjoyed it but I wanted more excitement. Nothing stood out like most of her dances do. Of course she was amazing though. Her score was 26 out of 30.
His favorite year was 2009 because he married his wife. This week he danced the Viennese Waltz. It was very sweet and romantic. He is really improving. It was my favorite by him so far. You could really feel the love he has for his wife. His score was 23 out of 30.
His favorite year was when he was in 8th grade because he realized what he wanted. This week he danced the Foxtrot. I was very surprised! He did very good. It had so much content too. He is defiantly redeeming himself. His score was 21 out of 30.
Her favorite year was 2011 because she married her true love. This week she danced the Rumba. It was beautiful. Her husband sang the song while she danced which he wrote for her. It was my favorite of the night. Her score was 26 out of 30.
Her favorite year was 2011 because her daughter got married. This week she danced the Cha Cha. It was unsure if she'd perform because she passed out in rehearsal. It wasn't the best but that is due to lack of practice. She looked good though. Her score was 18 out of 30.
Tomorrow someone must go home. Come back to see who!

What are you plans for the weekend? Today's share is a song I forgot all about. I was in love with it a few years ago! It is Loca by Shakira. It's just such a fun song! It puts me in the mood for Summer! It has been stuck in my head all week because I heard it on The Voice. Enjoy!

The show started off with announcing Prom King and Queen voted by America. Zendaya and Jacoby won adding 2 points to their scores. They are also safe.

DWTS Season 16: It's Prom Night!
I was so excited for this week's theme. I love anything that deals with prom. This week you can vote for your favorite Prom King and Queen on Twitter using #promNAME. The two couples with the highest votes get an added 2 points to their score. The show started off with a prom group dance number. All the couples danced together with each couple getting to show off their own moves. I loved it! It was the perfect way to start the show.
Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas:
She has never been in love yet so she had to work on portraying that emotion. This week she danced the Viennese Waltz. I love her and she dances so beautifully. I loved the story they showed where cupid shot them. She really did good at appearing in love. Her score was 23 out of 30.
He keeps over thinking the dances. This week he danced the Cha Cha. His story was the nerd getting the hot girl. It was VERY entertaining. He isn't the greatest dancer but he tries really hard. I hope he doesn't go home. His score was 18 out of 30.
Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson:
Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson:
He really wanted to improve his scores. This week he danced the Paso Doble. I actually really enjoyed this dance. It was all about the bad boy getting the good girl. I think could be a front runner if he works hard enough. His score was 21 out of 30.
She was desperate for votes because they were in danger last week. This week she danced the Viennese Waltz. It was the best she has done so far. She missed a few steps but it was good. Her score was 21 out of 30.
She wanted to stay on the top of the leader board. This week she danced the Jive. I LOVED IT! It had tons of tricks and was so fast. She never missed a step! I have no other words for it. Her score was 25 out of 30.
He worked extra hard because he almost went home. This week he danced Contemporary. I was honestly surprised. This dance was so beautiful! I didn't want it to end! It just had so much emotion. He has improved a lot. His score was 23 out of 30.
Surprisingly he was saved last week. The week he danced Salsa. It was bad. He barely moved and I didn't see many salsa moves. He tries but it just isn't helping him. If he stays another week I'll be shocked. His score was 16 out of 30.
His high school was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina so he dedicated this dance to them. This week he danced the Rumba. It was beautiful and sexy. I really liked it. He really surprised me. His score was 24 out of 30.
This week she wanted to take more risks. This week she danced the Samba. It was a hot mess. There was even pole dancing. She had potential but not this week. She should be worried. Her score was 15 out of 30.
He just wanted everybody to have fun. This week he danced the Cha Cha. It was very fun and the best he has done. You can't go wrong dancing to the YMCA. He still needs work but at least he is improving. His score was 21 out of 30.
This is her first prom ever! This week she danced the Viennese Waltz. It was very good. For only being 16 she dances so maturely. This was doing this dance for her Grandma. I always love her dances. Her score was 24 out of 30.
Check back tomorrow to find out who is going home!
