Top Three Highlights, Maybe I’m getting harder to amaze and astound each week because I just wasn’t blown away by most of the dances, at least to the same extent as the judges, My absolutely favorite dance was the team dance by Team Yolo — Noah and Sharna, Robert and Kym, Nastia Liukin and Derek Hough, and Willow Shields and Mark Ballas, ballet shoes clear phone case for iphone x xs xr max 8 plus 7 6 6s 5 5s se cell cover tpu hybrid tough bumper ballerina It was fast and furious, and very entertaining to “Wipeout” by The Surfaris, Could anything be more Spring Break-y? Head judge Len Goodman said the number was “tight, together and terrific.” The dance, about four band dudes and the bathing beauties who loved them, featured each couple in a solo and then had a group towel-tossing routine, Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said simply, “You guys nailed it!” The score of three 10s and a 9 (from Len) added 39 points to each couple’s score.I didn’t hold out much hope for the second team, Team Trouble, to match the scores with a “‘Breakfast Club’ meets ‘Grease'” routine, but it was really good, too, Their song was “Trouble” by Iggy Azalea, and each pair did a fantastic solo, especially Riker and Allison, Even Patti was able to pull out all the stops, bad knee and all, In the end, the judges’ score matched the other team’s score: 39.My favorite individual dance was the samba by Riker and Allison, He is definitely turning out to be the guy to beat, He has such sharp musicality and natural rhythm and seems to have so much fun with each dance that it’s hard to deny him, And this week, he and Allison were the only pair to score 10s — two for their samba and three in the team dance, The couple are on top of the leaderboard this week with a combined individual and team score of 76..

The “poster child,” as Diamond puts it, for the streamed-event trend is the Metropolitan Opera, whose “Live in HD” broadcasts to theaters around the world (see www.metoperafamily.org/metopera/liveinhd/LiveinHD.aspx) will gross an estimated $60 million this season, half of that going into the company’s coffers. Thanks to this Puccini-and-popcorn phenomenon — some opera fans even queue up at cinemas in tuxedoes and gowns — the Met has “given itself a reinvigorating kick in the rear,” says company general manager Peter Gelb.
