Descendants 2 Performance

Dancing with the Stars Season 24

These days can be very trying.

News are coming down the wire that are setting my soul on fire.

There’s the fire of anger and disappointment.

Music, dancing, entertainment, talent … all make it a bit better.

Need this now to soothe my soul!

‘DWTS’ Season 23: Laurie Hernández Dazzles, Earns Perfect Score in Week 4

In a special show last night, October 3, competitors on “Dancing With the Stars” performed routines that were all inspired by various Cirque du Soleil shows, and they were even joined on the ballroom floor by Cirque’s acrobats and other performers.

At the end of the night, Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernández topped and Val Chmerkovskiy the leaderboard with 30 points – earning not only the first 10s of the season but the season’s first perfect score.

~High Scorer~

The Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast channeled her inner Michael Jackson for a sassy jazz routine that electrified the ballroom audience and judges and earned her three 10’s for the first perfect score of the season.

During the judges’ critique Julianne Hough initially made amazed faces without speaking, then said:

“I literally have nothing to say other than the fact that Michael Jackson may be the king of pop but you are the queen of the ballroom!”

Our Pulse Skipped a Beat that Day …. “It skips everyday …. ‘#OrlandoStrong’ …. “!!

OUR HEARTBEAT CONTINUES TO SKIP

It was in the early hours of June 12, 2016.

The early morning hours were broken by the loud, shattering sound or assault rifle bullets.

A placid, gregarious, fun, Latin night ended in tragedy.

Time moved in slow motion …

almost stood still.

49 beautiful souls lost their lives to the wanton thoughts of a madman.

It’s been almost three weeks …. yet our pulse still continues to skip beats.

SKIPPED BEAT

The term “arrhythmia” refers to any change from the normal sequence of electrical impulses.

The electrical impulses may happen too fast, too slowly, or erratically – causing the heart to beat too fast, too slowly, or erratically.

Our pulse skipped a beat.

As we head into primary season, Sarah Palin is back again — on SNL and in real life.

And, as always, Tina Fey’s Palin impression is almost too close to the real thing, like a Highlights magazine spot the difference game where there are only two differences.

Can you tell reality from performance?

Can anyone?

A dear blogger friend taught me this concept.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”

AND THE WINNERS ARE ….. 

Bindi Irwin wins Dancing with the Stars with performance dedicated to father

I’m a very happy camper.

I’m so very happy that Bindi and Derek won the mirrored trophy. Their effort, dedication, talent and energy showed throughout Season 21.

Bindi is a a breath of fresh air, poor unabashed joy.

Her love of her family shone through the 11 weeks that the show lasted.

I’m excited for her and Derek.

I will miss waiting for every Monday to watch the “next dance”. Thank you Bindi, thank you Derek.

Unforgettable season.

The 17-year-old daughter of Steve Irwin says show has ‘changed her life’ as she is announced winner of the US reality show with partner Derek Hough. They triumphed in the final of the reality TV show on Tuesday night, November 25, 2015.
Clem Bastow

The pair got a perfect score of 30 for their final dance routine and brought audience members to tears.

“Thank you so much for everything.

I can’t believe I’m here.

Thank you for changing my life,” Irwin said.

Irwin, who like her her father Steve Irwin works as a conservationist and a TV presenter, has been impressing audiences with her dancing flair during the past three months.

Steve Irwin died in 2006 after a stingray stuck its barb into his heart, and his daughter’s final Dancing with the Stars performance on Monday, November 23, 2015,  was dedicated to him.

First she and Hough danced quickstep to Dr. Bones, by Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, and then moved to a freestyle dance to Footprints in the Sand, by Leona Lewis.

In a video intro to the dance, Hough said: “It reminds me of where you’re from and your dad always being there no matter what.”

Irwin said: “I’ve tried to just remember his strength, knowing that Dad is kind of still with me.”

Something to think about …. Masks!!


Mask

~~August 18, 2014~~

A mask is an object normally worn on the face, typically for protection, disguise, performance or entertainment. Masks have been used since antiquity for both ceremonial and practical purposes.

They are usually worn on the face, although they may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer’s body, so in parts of Australia giant totem masks cover the body, whilst Inuit women use finger masks during storytelling and dancing.

~~Masks in theatre~~

Masks are an important part of many theater forms throughout world cultures, and their usage in theater has often developed from, or continues to be part of old, highly sophisticated, stylized theatrical traditions.

In many cultural traditions the masked performer is a central concept and is highly valued. In the western tradition actors in Ancient Greek theater wore masks, as they do in traditional Japanese Noh drama.

M3

In some Greek masks the wide and open mouth of the mask contained a brass megaphone enabling the voice of the wearer to be projected into the large auditoria. In medieval Europe masks were used in mystery and miracle plays to portray allegorical creatures, and the performer representing God frequently wore a gold or gilt mask.

LYRICS

“Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
We’re lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we’re just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We’re lost inside this lonely game we play …. “

M4

This song always had a very special meaning for me. I love Karen Carpenter. Her voice was sultry, velvety and so ever changing. 

M5

We are living difficult times. We don’t really know who is telling the truth in so many spheres and arenas. Personal, religious, political, markets, financial and commerce, military, legal, environmental … you name it.

“Sometimes it’s not the people who change. It’s the mask that falls off.”

“Bars and Melody” …. Britain’s got Talent!!


~~May 19, 2014~~

Britain’s Got Talent: Teenage rapping sensation Bars and Melody say they’re inspired by Alesha Dixon

In a recent audition for “Britain’s Got Talent,” the musical duo Charlie Lenehan, 15, and Leondre Devries, 13, who call themselves Bars & Melody, delivered a performance so moving it forced the notoriously tough show judge Simon Cowell to give them his Golden Buzzer – a decision that sent them straight to the semi-finals regardless of what the other judges think.

The teens combined their rap and singing talent to deliver a powerful anti-bullying message that was inspired in part by personal experience.

“I started rapping because I was having a hard time in primary school. I was getting bullied,” Leondre said in a clip of the performance on YouTube that had been viewed more than seven million times as of Wednesday morning, May 2014. “When I used to be down in the dumps, I used to write my raps. I could express myself through what I was writing down.”

“If it wasn’t for his music he wouldn’t be as confident,” added Charlie.


~Bars and Melody get down to business~

As well as a double dose of Simon Cowell on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent, there is also double trouble in the form of rapping teens Bars and Melody.

Consisting of 15-year-old Charlie and 13-year-old Leondre, both from Wales, the school boys perform their own version of Hopeful.

Instead of doing a regular rendition of the rap song – originally made famous by Twista and Faith Evans – they do a version with original lyrics about their past experiences of bullying.

One of the boys tells the judging panel who his inspiration was to get started.

Leondre says: “Alesha, if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be rapping…”
