However, tonight I stumbled upon Dancing with the Stars. At first I thought I would have a few laughs and move on, but before I knew it the entire two hours had gone by.
The best part of the show, for me, was Jennifer Grey. I was so jealous of her in 1987. Dirty Dancing was the first PG-13 movie I ever saw. I watched it at a slumber party when it came out on VHS back in junior high, and from the first time I saw him I thought Patrick Swayze was god. I was convinced Jennifer Grey was the luckiest girl on the planet.
Watching her dance tonight actually made me cry. That probably makes me sound incredibly corny. I didn't feel so bad when I saw the woman judge (I have no idea what her name is) was also in tears. Dirty Dancing was such a big part of my pre-teen years, and I realized tonight how much of an impact it had on me.
I enjoyed watching Jennifer Grey dance again, even if it was without Patrick. DWTS producers were very sneaky by using a song from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack for her to dance to. But, it did create a great moment that I enjoyed.
Now the question is...how many "baby in the corner" references are we gonna have to put up with this season?
I agree. True class...and I will be rooting for her!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a little unfair- she's a professional dancer isn't she? That's how she got the role in the movie right? What song did she dance to?
ReplyDeleteNegative. She is not a professional dancer. Her only dance experience was Dirty Dancing. They danced to "These Arms of Mine".
