Kym began ballroom dancing at the relatively late age of 15 when she was dragged along to lessons by her brother who decided it would be a good way to meet girls. She soon got the bug and it wasn't long before she was dancing competitively. Following her retirement from professional ballroom, Kym then broke into stage with the world tour of Burn The Floor. Other highlights of her successful career include dancing at Elton John's 50th birthday party and appearing in the hit movie Strictly Ballroom.

Sharonda99 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Joey was awesome tonight! He's in my favorite group, so you know I've got to cheer him on! I called and voted 5 times when the show first started, before anyone even performed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgarza Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Really liked Joey and Kym. They are one of my top four teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califcyclone Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 1st Dance Opinion: Loose the Leisure Suit Look...because some snarky person could play with "FatOne" and make a weighty comment. You were good but you were in a boy band...so you should at least be able to move in time to music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharonda99 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well, it wouldn't be the first time anyone has said anything about Joey's weight. And the fact that he makes fun of himself makes him that much more likeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeCiMom Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Better last week but, still good this week. I like to watch the pairs that look like they're having fun and they have talent. I'm rooting for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharonda99 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I liked it! He stayed serious when he needed to, and added a little silliness when he could get away with it. i thought the comments about "his bum" were funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dade Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Courtesy of: TV GUIDE, INTERVIEWS & FEATURES Joey Fatone Spills His Dancing Secrets by Deborah Starr Seibel Joey Fatone Dancing with the Stars favorite Joey Fatone opens up to TV Guide about losing weight, panic attacks and his old 'N Sync pal Justin Timberlake. TV Guide: It looks like you've lost some weight. How are you doing it? Joey Fatone: I'm on NutriSystem. I started about two weeks prior to the first rehearsals. I lost about six pounds those first two weeks. And then when I started dancing with Kym [Johnson, his professional partner], the weight really started coming off. I was 235 pounds when I started. Now I'm 216. It's pretty cool to see my stomach get smaller. TV Guide: What's the difference between the physical demands of touring with 'N Sync and DWTS? Fatone: When I was with 'N Sync, it was demanding to be rehearsing constantly. But this? You're doing it every day, and it's a different dance every week. That's what's really crazy about the whole thing. You're learning these routines and steps that my body is definitely not used to at all. It's intense. TV Guide: Is there one dance you really want to learn? Fatone: Anything that doesn't have to do with ballroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeCiMom Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thought he really went for it last night... let go of any inhabitions and danced his booty off. I was thoroughly entertained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowpoke Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Joey's 1st dance was toooo much.... bravo but, my TV sound must have been out of sync with the picture for the 2nd one.... seemed like they were just a fraction behind the music .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeCiMom Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I thought Joey and Kym were phenomenal last night. Both dances would have got a 10 from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharonda99 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I was so happy and impressed with Joey and Kim last night. They deserved their high score. I noticed that Kelly was in the audience (I'm sure she's been there everynight) out there cheering for her man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharonda99 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 So happy they are coming back next week. I'm also nervous. Next week, alongside Billy Ray and Karina, someone who hasn't been in the bottom 2 before will have to go in. And then once BR is gone and it's down to the top 4 teams, it's going to get crazy. I hope Joey has the momentum to keep going until the end. Right now, I feel that he can top out Ian, but not so sure about Laila and Apolo.

Marty Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Their dancing was just fantastic. They are really going to be fighing for the top for sure. I think they may be the team to beat. I really noticed last night now much weight Joey has lost. WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
