Love this cover of Have I Told You Lately. Anyone know the singer?
loved that, loved the blue and the scenery.
who is singing this song? I'm from Brazil and I don't know him. tell me, please! thanks!
Dallas Tx in the background..yes Monica represent our home.
It was a lovely dance, but I think the music was too fast, and that gave the dance a rushed feeling that I thought took away from the romantic feeling that they were going for.
Such a beautiful dance
It was good, but it wasn't great. I don't think it was worthy of three 9s either. I think all 8s myself.
Monica just doesn’t do it for me, her performances are super lackluster😴
Val is the best, but Monica is just too stiff to get into the dances. She seems to move from pose to pose while he dances around her. I imagine all male dancers on the show get SO tired of being whipped in the face by flying hair. The stylists could create sleek and effective hairdos to cut out all the hair flips.
She is not a very expressive person already, so I think it's a bit awkward because she's tough lol, can't stop seeing her as a coach. Also Idk if it's her or the make up and hair department but they always do her wrong with the hair in the face, that's something very annoying to me lol. But those hips were goooood!
Good job! Super sharp!
I can't stand this singer not very good
Love to see Valentin dance!
It was the song for me they did such a beautiful job
Something about her rubs me the wrong way and I feel the judges judge easy on her maybe because she is intimidating
She's improved technically, but I didn't think this rumba was that sexy or sensual it was pleasant to watch, but I prefer a sensual romantic rumba.
It was a great rumba to me! Imo she deserved the scores
IM SO BORED W HER
GORGEOUS PERFORMANCE!
So overscored. I really like her but 2nd week in a row that she is overscored. They are trying to keep Val in longer
THIS IS FALSE
OH VAL! 🥰
Val did great with the choreo 👏🏼 and she did pretty good tho their best dance so far
SO GOOD!! Her constant growth amazes me, she’s doing such a good job and that proves again what an amazing teacher and choreographer Val is 👏🏻👏🏻
They should have swapped hers and Jeannies scores. It was good but Jeannie deserved those 9’s more than she did.
I love her dress! She did was better then sky did. I feel for all the people who do this show. Not easy to do this live
You can go to Skai insta, she update her rehearsals dance. And it was a lot of harder choreo, I really wanted her mistake wasn't happened, because the dance was so good and with lot of potential
She has pretty good technique, but the problem is that she doesn't seem to connect to the routine like some of the other contestants do. Her face seemed very stagnant the whole time.
Was SHOCKED that she scored so high last week. But this week, too? Clear judge bias. And why? Lol seriously, she's worse than Vernon and Nelly.
They really wanted to keep Val more time in the show
I don't see how this is 2 points better than Jeannie's rumba. I actually prefer Jeannie's.
SOO overscored
A lot of 9s and 8s. Let’s see if I agree. The facial expressions aren’t great. But it’s got a lot of content I suppose. Maybe I just don’t like the rumba it seems as I feel bored, but I understand that this for a rumba it has a lot of technical content. This is where a pint 5 would help (8.5) but I will have to round it up. A 9!
Why is the video quality so bad on all of these?
nice, but looked like a 8 not 9
I’m truly convinced that the people still hating on Monica just don’t know anything about dance.
They don't! I just read someone saying that she was worse than Vernon and Kelly 😂 I don't care about her if I'm honest but out of all the people that performed a latin dance, her performance was the best of the night in terms of technique. Hands down
A lot of people find it hard to connect with her and that’s understandable but I feel people need to consider that she’s just a cheerleading coach and isn’t in the entertainment industry. For someone who is rarely on camera and has no performance background, she’s trying her best and you can’t ignore that she’s not doing what she can. It’s fair not to be connected with her, but if you watched Cheer, you would know that in a place where she’s confident and comfortable, her personality is much more vibrant. Just a thing to think about before people say she was overscored cause she was boring
Sheesh now we know who the judges favorite team is!
Sheesh, apparently these days all ya need to do to get all 9's is stand still with your arm stuck out and let your partner do all the movements around you
If she wins this season the show is rigged lol
Such a beautiful rumba. I’m so proud of Monica!
AMAZING
The people singing the songs are just not good at all this season.
Are you telling me this was better than Nev and Jennas rumba?
Actually yes! The technique is much much better and there was not that much rumba content in Nev's routine to begin with.
She’s stiff
Screw the haters, I like her and feel she has improved so much.
I need this woman’s work ethic
If there's another season of Dancing With The Stars after the current season... three things are needed 1. Each contestant has to be a member of the group Now United. 2. The show needs a new host....preferably Tom coming back or someone who will be equally as good as him. 3. Music that is actually ballroom music.
A lot of these covers are just awful
She is totally overscored week after week. She is so stiff and disconnected. She looks like she’s over it and wants to go home.
he is doing all the dancing !
I actually surprisingly liked this dance. I feel like we got to see more of Monica’s personality. She seemed more comfortable. Also the choreo was much better this week.
Maybe a lot of you should watch Cheer so you can get to know Monica before passing your harsh judgements. She’s a beautiful person and you would come to see that she pours her heart and soul into everything she does from her family, her coaching at Navarro, her love for her athletes and now into DWTS. She is the kind of dancer I love to see on DWTS... no previous experience and yet she constantly improves because of her hard work and dedication! Be kind everyone!
I think Monica is a good dancer; she can definitely pull off the choreography. However, she lacks the ability to form a connection with the viewer. I don’t feel anything when I’m watching her. Technically, I think the 9s were probably deserved (at least 8s were deserved), but dancing is about more than just the technical aspects. It requires the dancer to perform and Monica doesn’t do that. I think she would be great if she showed some emotion when she danced or demonstrated some strong chemistry with Val.
@Courtney Neal it probably has something to do with the whole Jerry being arrested situation too... I do think that the emotional connection part is better with this rumba
Carlijn Kuiper Lol 😂 just didn’t know if you had read anything lol.
@Courtney Neal I don't know... I didn't do it 😅
Carlijn Kuiper why did she get hateful comments?
I do think she is also growing in the emotional aspect, but I also feel like her dance in week 1 was way more emotional... I've heard she got a lot of "hateful" comments though, so that might have something to do with it
I give it a 7.
Her best yet:) yayyyyy
she's definitely improving but idk she still seems kinda stiff and awkward at certain times
*SCORES 9,9,9=27*
She was very graceful she was fluid and danced with emotion! She did great!
Loved the dance but how she got higher than Nev is beyond me
God is in control praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all
This was an 8 at best. She is too high on the board
OVERSCORED!!! She’s so stiff... how is this a 9?!? Rumba is loose and passionate. Lots of hip. Not seeing that here!!
@Troy Hekerie Well Troy, I actually competed in Latin & International Standard for about 12 years, but thank you kindly for your input ;)
Oh my god. I’m so tired of reading comments ignorant of technique. Please take some time to study latin dancing and then you’ll appreciate how good this dance is.
For Latinos, that's not RUMBA AT ALL!!!!!
Monica and Skai eat the girls up period.
I liked this. They pulled it off. I was looking at Val the whole time though 😊😊
Her upper body is a little too stiff, face included.
Monica’s dress is stunning
And appropriate!
She is consistently being over scored, especially since the production error during eliminations. Do you think it's because Val raised complaints?
Oh my god. I’m so tired of reading comments ignorant of technique. Please take some time to study latin dancing and then you’ll appreciate how good this dance is.
I love this dance so much
It wasn't as good for all 9's tbh, Val was doing everything she should've done
Lovely
she needs to go home. Idk but I just never feel anything when watching her dance. Shes beautiful though!
@Troy Hekerie She lacks emotion heavily though.
@Laurel Y technique and emotion go hand in hand
@Troy Hekerie people weren’t complaining about her technique for the most part though. It’s just that her dances don’t evoke emotion.
Oh my god. I’m so tired of reading comments ignorant of technique. Please take some time to study latin dancing and then you’ll appreciate how good this dance is.
