Dade Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Mya PROFESSION: Singer, songwriter, record producer, actor BACKGROUND: Will we watch this sultry singer find her Latin rhythm and rumba away with the treasured disco ball? Mya exploded onto the music scene at age 18 with her eponymous debut album, which yielded three Top 10 singles. She became an instant star known for her edgy lyrics and dance moves. This Grammy-winning multi-platinum artist is a true all-around performer who has expanded her successful singing career to acting, dancing, modeling and record producing. Mya is also signed to the famed Ford Modeling Agency and has appeared in several movies, including Chicago, Shall We Dance, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights and Cursed. Mya's sixth studio album is due to be released this year on her own indie label. A longtime advocate for young women, she founded The Mya Arts & Tech Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing disadvantaged youth growth and opportunity through arts and technology education, where she serves as both executive director and teacher. Dmitry Chaplin CELEBRITY PARTNER: Mya BACKGROUND: We first saw this young pro transition from So You Think You Can Dance to DWTS last season, when he was paired up with Holly Madison. Now he's shuffling back for more action in Season 9! Dmitry's ballroom dancing career began at the age of 12 in his home town of Rostov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElleNaturelle Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I like some of her songs. I also think she'll do well with the dancing. I never knew about her work with youth though. Good on her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LenRay Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Not bad. I'd have given her a perfect score if she wasn't wearing panites...sorry, Ladies..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkie Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I thought Len was a bit hard on them, maybe he was disappointed that she wore panites too?? I thought it looked great, but what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I thought she did well. She's also a great singer. However, she seems to me to be this year's "ringer". For that reason alone, I would find it hard to vote for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erinjs Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 By far. I think she is going to be hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Very good. She seemed a little jerky in her moves but I think she is going to be the best dancer in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SugarB Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 WAY overscored with the two 10's, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinjs Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 She's good, but she isn't at the 10 level yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 agree. The 10's ? She is good but hasn't earned a perfect 10 score yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I agree regarding the 10's. I'm really glad that I'm not the only one to see that she is the ringer here. I'm not entirely fond of ringers. I'll take the old man Donny, the athlete Natalie, and the bumbling but sweet girl Kelly any day over the ringer Mya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarB Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It was raunchy for sure. Good for Len for expecting higher standards from her, since she came in with way more dance knowledge and experience than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uvp Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 watching this and monday night football game i guess len is upset she is this year ringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I don't think that Len is upset that she's the ringer. I think he simply has higher expectations for someone who is the ringer than he does for the other contestants. I wish Carrie and Bruno felt the same way. Her dance last week was better than this week. I wouldn't have given it a 10. An 8 or 9, but not a 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
