"I've Had the Time of My Life" - Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes
And the winner is...Jennifer Grey! "Nobody puts Baby in a corner," and the new Dancing With the Stars champion made that very clear tonight! I'll have to admit that I was pretty biased from the beginning. The minute they announced the Dirty Dancing star, I knew that as long as she showed the same energy, enthusiasm and determination to compete as she did in the film, she'd be the one taking the trophy home. I was so sure of it I didn't even follow the show until the whole controversy came out that the show was rigged *cough* Bristol *cough*. There was no denying that Jennifer outdid all the others and the greatest thing of all was that she didn't brag about it. She didn't have to. All she had to do was dance!
What I love about Jennifer was that she didn't just do Baby all over again. She did it better! She took on new challenges and played new roles, and like her character Baby, the audience was rooting for her. Rather than watching her with the fear that she'll mess up, we watched her knowing she was in complete control. She moved so gracefully and with such demure from the moment she took the stage in her first emotional performance. We saw her build trust with her new partner Derek as she did with her old partner, Patrick. She stepped back into her element and found her footing. It was like watching the last scene and by far, everyone's favorite part in the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpmILPAcRQo. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
"The steps aren't enough...feel the music." - Johnny
She did, Patrick. We all did.
Lyrics:
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
