Country Music and Dancing with the Stars
I will freely admit it. I watch entirely too much reality television. Not only do I have to watch everything on VH1 for my WatchingVH1.com blog, I also recap Survivor for RealityShack and then the rest I just watch because I love mindless entertainment. One of my favorites just wrapped up this week - Dancing with the Stars. I love sequins and fluid movements and I don’t care who knows!
Dancing with the Stars has had many connections in the past to country music from contestants like Sara Evans and Billy Ray Cyrus to live performances by Martina McBride. However, now Dancing with the Stars has a country connection from the other side. That’s right! Instead of a country music star taking a stab at dancing, we’ve got a professional dancer who’s going to take her chances in Nashville by putting out a country record.
Julianne Hough is definitely a familiar name in the world of competitive ballroom dance, and now she’s a household name thanks to Dancing with the Stars. Julianne was actually the champion for the past two years with Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno and her most recent victory came this week with Indy Racing Series driver Helio Castronevez. Now she’s trying to be a champion at country music. Julianne, the 19 year old petite and perky blonde, just signed a recording contract with Mercury Nashville. She will be recording the album in December and will release her first single in the spring.
Is there anything this girl can’t do?
