The season 18 of the mega-hit dance reality show ‘Dancing With the Stars’ started off with episode 1 on March 17.
A quick recap of what happened
The premiere began with the live performance of Jason Derulo who got the audience all pumped up with his energetic performance of his hit song ‘ Talk dirty to me’. Soon after the performance, the stage was taken over by Tom Bergeron who introduced himself and his co-host Erin Andrews to the audience. They presented to the audience, the 12 new star pairs who will be competing among themselves for the Mirrorball Trophy.
The first to perform on stage were Nene Leakes and Toni Dovolani. They performed the Cha Cha Cha on the song ‘Give it 2 me’ by Robin Thicke. The judges Carrie, Len and Bruno gave them a score of 21 out of 30. Sean and Karina were successful in exceeding the expectations of the judges when they performed on the song ‘Somewhere only we know’. They managed to get 20 on 30.When the veteran Billy Dee and Emma Slater came on stage not many were expecting a mind blowing performance and as expected, the pair just managed to finish the routine. They were given the least marks by the judges with just 15 on 30. When it was the turn of Diana and Henry the judges were not at all convinced with their performance as she seemed like a fish out of water. They could only get 18 on 30.
However, the best performance of the day belonged to Charlie and Sharna. Charlie, the ice skater who won the gold medal at Sochi Olympics with fellow contestant Meryl was able to mesmerize the judges and the audience along with Sharna as they performed on the song ‘Let her go’ and managed to get 27 on 30.
