Buzz Aldrin American Hero Dancing With The Stars

In 1969,the year I graduated from high school, Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. My Grandmother encouraged us to watch these historic events so that we could talk about them to our children.
This year Buzz has joined Dancing With The Stars and tonight he danced the cha cha with his young partner.
I have to be honest he didn't do very well, but he is still an American Hero, and now we see his playful side.

Michael Flatley Just Amazing








Michael Flatley was on Dancing With The Stars tonight. He was just amazing. He only does rare appearances on TV. I felt fortunate to see him perform. He gives me chills with his precision and his steps and dance form are just breathtaking. He is still Lord of the Dance to me.

Michael was ill last year and had to cancel some appearances on his tour. He makes rare appearances and I hope to have the opportunity to see him.
Some interesting facts about Michael, he was actually born in America. He has several homes one of which is Castle Hyde in Ireland which he is restoring.
His first child was born this year. He was also a Golden Gloves Boxer, and a construction worker.


Dance was in his blood. Though Michael was born and raised in the United States , he often visited family in Ireland . His mother and his maternal grandmother, Hannah Ryan, were both champion Irish dancers. Hannah taught Michael his first few steps at the age of four and always encouraged him to follow his heart and his dreams. Years later, when these dreams became reality, an empty front row seat at every show marked his silent tribute to the late grandmother he so adored.

"She once visited me in Chicago in an ice cold winter. At that time I was completely broke, working occasional jobs for a couple of bucks an hour, dreaming of becoming the greatest dancer in the world. It was she who encouraged me to make my life special and to dance. Two weeks later she died. The empty seat is a sign of my respect to her, for I believe she is still watching me."
Michael Flatley is an interesting and talented man who will amaze you with his talent and entertain you at the same time.

how marie Osmond's whining impacted the American Public

The voting public should be ashamed. Last night on Dancing With The Stars one of the best dancers was voted off. It was not because she didn't have a lot of fans. After she is a Cheetah Girl. I personally had no idea what a Cheetah girl was before this show. But I have grown to like this little cute blond girl. Sabrina Bryan has worked hard and received the first perfect score on this season.
Unfortunately she was competing against older women who were quick to come out in public whining and complaining about ageism on the judges part. So America , feeling sorry for the old broads voted for the two of them.
Now don't get me wrong I am an old broad. I have a lot of admiration for Jane Seymour but she id not the best dancer,ans she has a lot of fans. No Marie Osmond has done nothing but whine, whine, and when she wasn't whining her brother Donny came on other shows and criticized the other dancers.. Sorry Donny,but Last i knew you were not an expert on ball room dancing.
Yes Marie Osmond and Jane Seymour both have done admirable things in their lives but they are not worthy of winning of winning Dancing With The Stars.
I do wish Marie Osmond would quit trying to win the public with her tea and sympathy act. People popularity is part of it but look at how they dance.
Sad to see you go Sabrina.

Marie Osmond Can she be any more whiny?

Marie Osmond has-been in the entertainment business since she was a child, she has smiled and flashed her pearly whites across many stages and venues around the world.
I can honestly say I have never been a fan of the Osmonds ,Marie, The Marie and Donny show, their sweetness is just not my cup of tea or my preference in music.
BUT I was impressed by her first few appearances on Dancing With The Stars. After all she is 45 +. The fact she felt confident enough to compete against younger people on a dancing show gave me some respect for her. She gave a couple of decent performances because she is a veteran entertainer.
BUT as the competition increased it became harder for her. She struggled to give
better performances. Marie just was not able to do it. Then she started to whine. One of her excuses for not being able to do something was she had too many babies. Yes, she does have eight children, but she only gave birth to three of them. While adopting five children is an admirable thing to do, it has no effect on her body.
Even the much publicized fall was brought on by her hyperventilating which she could have controlled She admitted she holds her breath in certain circumstances, so she should have been more careful. I feel the fall was used to gain her more votes and it seemed to work.She stayed on the show another week.
Now the latest is age discrimination. Oh Get over it,Marie. What excuse will you use next?
Marie Osmond said :
“I think they’re trying to get the older chicks off the show, and I say shame on them,” Marie said to OK! after she and fellow over-50 contestant Jane Seymour earned the lowest scores of the night on Monday night. “I mean, come on — compare us to a 20-year-old! We’re doing good! That’s why you appreciate the viewers and their voting.”
