First performance of the night from the upcoming musical Nine.

Mya tries to say she had a couple of wardrobe malfunctions last night. Donny says he can talk about wardrobe malfunctions and had no choice but to comeback.

Please let Donny stay. He is a nice guy and a hard worker, plus he is a good dancer who is fun to watch.

I really want him to stay, too.

I can't wait or the movie, but this routine is kind of like watching "Nine on Ice"... :|

That's Fergie signing, by the way...

p.s. Nine was directed by Rob Marshall, who also directed Chicago, which featured an army of professional singer-dancers, including...Mya!

I hope Donny stays, too. I'm sure they all want it, but something him wanting it seems different. He mentioned in an interview a few weeks back that he really wanted to win more for Kym than himself. I think as a performer he's used to doing his absolute best and not letting his partner down. I admire his attitude and dedication to the whole process.

I can't believe we are 20 minutes in and no one safe!

[karalott]

With only 4 couples, they'll drag it out. Samantha said "up next" they'd be starting the elimination process-of course "up next" could be 15 minutes from now.

Watching Nine made me think Mya was going to pop out from backstage and join in. The performance reminded me of Chicago's Cell Block Tango.

How old was the oldest winner?

How old was the oldest winner?

Emmitt Smith is the oldest winner, correct?

[karalott]

So we're back, and no elimination yet-another performance, this time from Alicia Keyes.

ETA: I think Emmitt is the oldest, followed by Kristi. Shawn is the youngest, and I believe Brooke was in her early 30s when she won. Apolo was in his 20s, and I think the others were all in that late 20s-mid 30s range.
