>> Alfonso: WELCOME, EVERYONE, TO "DANCING WITH THE STARS."
IT'S "WHITNEY HOUSTON NIGHT." OUR FANTASTIC OPENING NUMBER WAS
CHOREOGRAPHED BY RAY LEEPER. I'M ALFONSO RIBEIRO.
>> Julianne: AND I'M JULIANNE HOUGH.
PERFORMING HIS TRIBUTE TO WHITNEY IN THAT OPENING WAS
TONIGHT'S GUEST JUDGE, THE EMMY, GRAMMY AND TONY-WINNER, WHO HAS
BEEN DESCRIBED AS THE MALE WHITNEY HOUSTON, BILLY PORTER.
>> Alfonso: BILLY, WE'RE SO
HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT. WHAT WILL YOU BE LOOKING FOR?
>> Billy: INTENTION AND CONNECTION AND STORYTELLING.
>> Alfonso: YOU HEARD HIM, EVERYONE.
>> Julianne: VOTING IS OPEN RIGHT NOW AND IS AVAILABLE TO
THE U.S., ITS TERRITORIES, AND CANADA AT ABC.COM.
PLUS, SUBSCRIBERS OF PARTICIPATING U.S. WIRELESS
PHONE CARRIERS CAN TEXT THE FIRST NAME OF THEIR FAVORITE
STAR TO THE NUMBER 2-1-5-2-3. MESSAGE AND DATA RATES MAY
APPLY.
TONIGHT, OUR STARS FACE TWO ROUNDS OF COMPETITION, INCLUDING
THE "DANCE-OFFS," IN WHICH TWO COUPLES WILL SQUARE OFF FOR
EXTRA BONUS POINTS.
>> Alfonso: OF COURSE, ALL OF THE ROUTINES
WILL BE PERFORMED TO THE MUSIC OF THE MOST-AWARDED FEMALE
ARTIST OF ALL TIME. BORN TO A MUSICAL FAMILY,
WHITNEY SEEMED DESTINED FOR
STARDOM.
HER CAREER EXPLODED, GARNERING MORE THAN 400 CAREER AWARDS,
INCLUDING SIX GRAMMYS AND 22 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS AND
SELLING MORE THAN 200 MILLION ALBUMS, SINGLES AND VIDEOS
WORLDWIDE.
>> Julianne: WE'RE ABOUT TO HEAR SOME OF THAT
AMAZING MUSIC AS WE START THIS FIRST ROUND WITH OUR SOCIAL
MEDIA AND REALITY TV STAR PERFORMING A VIENNESE WALTZ TO
AN ACADEMY-AWARD-NOMINATED SONG FROM "THE BODYGUARD."
>> Alfonso: IT'S HARRY JOWSEY
AND RYLEE ARNOLD.
>> SIX.
>> SIX FEELS LIKE A MASSIVE STEP BACK. WE SMASHED THAT DANCE.
WHAT A CRAZY ROLLER COASTER. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
IT FELT SO GOOD. I WISH WE DID A TEAM DANCE
EARLIER IN THE NIGHT.
>> ALL THAT MATTERS IS WE CARRY THE WINNING ENERGY INTO THIS
WEEK. THIS WEEK, WE'RE DANCING TO "I
HAVE NOTHING."
>> I'M EXCITED TO DANCE TO THIS SONG.
I'M TRYING TO OPEN MYSELF UP, SHARE MYSELF WITH THE AUDIENCE.
I LOVE THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING ME, EVEN THOUGH THIS
EXPERIENCE DOESN'T COME NATURAL TO ME. I'M THE AVERAGE JOE.
I GREW UP ON A FARM. I NEVER DANCED IN MY LIFE.
>> THINK ABOUT THE MANY PEOPLE YOU ARE INSPIRING TO TRY
SOMETHING NEW.
>> DIG DEEP AND GET AN EIGHT OR SOMETHING.
>> RUN FAST. RUN FAST. WHAT HARRY STRUGGLES WITH IS NOT
JUSTDOING THE STEPS BUT DANCING THEM.
JUST GO FOR IT. I'M TAKING HIM TO THE FIRST
PLACE I KNOW WHERE MIND AND BODY HAVE TO BE IN TUNE, WHICH IS
BALLET CLASS.
>> FIVE, SIX. TOES. FIVE, SIX.
>> I CAN'T DO THAT. THIS CLASS IS OUT OF MY COMFORT
ZONE. I WANT TO SHOW THE JUDGES I'M
LISTENING AND I WANT TO BE A BETTER DANCER.
>> DON'T TUCK YOUR NECK. SHOULDERS. BREATHE.
>> I THINK BALLET HELPED ME WITH MY ELEGANCE.
HOPEFULLY, I WILL HAVE A GOOD CONNECTION BETWEEN MY MOVEMENT
AND THE MUSIC AND MOVE AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR LIKE NEVER
BEFORE.
>> Announcer: DANCING THE VIENNESE WALTZ, WITH HIS
PARTNER, RYLEE ARNOLD, IT'S HARRY JOWSEY.

>> Alfonso: HARRY AND RYLEE, THEY HAVE SOMETHING WITH THAT
VIENNESE WALTZ.
SMOOTH AND LOVELY. LET'S HEAR WHAT THE JUDGES HAVE
TO SAY. DEREK --
>> Derek: I HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU LAST NIGHT.
DON'T TAKE THAT THE WRONG WAY. YOU HAD A BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT.
THERE WERE SOME BETTER MOMENTS. IT'S ABOUT MOVING ACROSS THE
FLOOR, GLIDING WITH LONG STRIDES. FOR A BIG GUY, YOU DANCE SMALL
SOMETIMES. USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.
USE THE SPACE MOVING FORWARD. YOU MIGHT BE HERE NEXT WEEK.
GOOD LUCK.
>> Billy: I'VE BEEN WATCHING. YOU HAVE GROWN EXPONENTIALLY.
IT'S ABOUT THE STORYTELLING, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO OF
YOU WAS BRILLIANT. THE SEDUCTION WAS AT A FIVE.
I NEED TO SEE IT AT A TEN.
>> I WILL TURN IT UP.
>> Bruno: NEW YORK CITY BALLET IS CALLING. THEY LOVED YOU.
IN "SWAN LAKE" AS A TREE. HE WILL LOOK FANTASTIC.
ACTUALLY, NO, I TELL YOU THE TRUTH. I WAS COUNTING ALL THE WAY
THROUGH. YOU ACTUALLY TRIED VERY HARD TO
KEEP THE PHRASING OF THE ONE, TWO, THREE. YOU DID.
YOUR BUM STUCK OUT A LOT. KEEP THE BUM UNDER YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHRINK DOWN.
IT COMES WITH PLIE.
>> Carrie: I'M SEEING GRACE, TRUE GRACE COMING OUT FROM THE
CORNERS OF EVERY MOVEMENT. THAT'S HUGE.
I KNOW HOW YOU STARTED. HE STARTED WITH THE FOUR.
YOU HAVE COME SO FAR. THERE'S A MAGIC IN YOUR EYES.
THERE'S A BEAUTY AND OPENING UP. THAT'S WHAT "DANCING WITH THE
STARS" IS ALL ABOUT. WELL DONE.
>> Alfonso: HEAD UP TO JULIANNE IN THE SKYBOX FOR YOUR SCORES.
LAST WEEK, LELE PONS AND BRANDON ARMSTRONG FINISHED JUST
ONE POINT BEHIND THE LEADERS AND WERE ELIMINATED.
KEEP YOUR FAVORITES IN THE COMPETITION WHEN YOU VOTE BY
TEXT AND ONLINE AT ABC.COM. YOU GET TEN OF THEM PER COUPLE,
PER VOTING METHOD. JULIANNE --
>> Julianne: SO IMPORTANT TO VOTE, ALFONSO. WHAT'S UP?
GET OVER HERE. I JUST WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS
BALLET CLASS. I SAW YOUR TOES POINTED.
IT WAS GOOD. HOW WAS THAT CLASS?
>> I WAS CRAMPING UP. IT'S CRAZY. I WAS IN PAIN.
THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL DOING IT. I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE'S DRUNK
UNCLE.
>> Julianne: I LOVE THE EFFORT. YOU SAID THIS SONG, THE LYRICS
WERE REALLY CONNECTED TO THE JOURNEY YOU HAVE BEEN ON WITH
THE SHOW. TELL US ABOUT THAT.
>> I THINK BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SUCH A VULNERABLE EXPERIENCE OF
DOING SO FAR OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE.
I'M TRYING TO SHARE SO MUCH OF MYSELF WITH THE AUDIENCE AND
EVERYONE HERE. I THINK THE LYRICS SPOKE TO ME
BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THE JOURNEY WE'RE ON.
>> Julianne: WE LOVE THE JOURNEY.
LET'S LOOK AT YOUR SCORES.
>> Carrie: SEVEN.
>> Derek: SEVEN.
>> Billy: SEVEN.
>> Bruno: SEVEN.
>> Julianne: THAT'S 28 OUT OF 40 TONIGHT.
THEY WILL COMPETE FOR MORE POINTS LATER ON IN THE DANCE-OFF
ROUND. BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO VOTE BY
TEXT AND ONLINE AT ABC.COM.

ARE ON THE WAY. JASON MRAZ AND DANIELLA KARAGACH

LIVE.

>> Alfonso: WELCOME BACK TO "WHITNEY HOUSTON NIGHT."
NEXT UP, OUR GRAMMY-WINNING SINGER PERFORMS A SAMBA TO THE
NUMBER ONE DANCE CLUB HIT "HIGHER LOVE."
IT'S JASON MRAZ AND
DANIELLA KARAGACH.
>> THIS WAS A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE.
>> THE SCORES WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT'S BITTERSWEET.
BUT TO GET A TEN FROM PAULA ABDUL WAS A CAREER HIGHLIGHT.
>> WE GOT A TEN. IT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.
I CARE ABOUT WHAT THE JUDGES HAVE TO SAY.
>> WHAT CAN I DO TO REALLY WOW THEM?
>> WE NEED TO BRING THE NEW ENERGY.
YOU HAVE TO DANCE EVERY DANCE LIKE YOUR LAST.
THIS WEEK IS WHITNEY HOUSTON NIGHT.
WE'RE DANCING TO "HIGHER LOVE."
>> WHITNEY HOUSTON COULD BREATHE SO MUCH EMOTION INTO EVERY
LYRIC. IT'S WHAT I ASPIRE TO ACHIEVE.
MY MOST POPULAR SONG IS "I'M YOURS." THEY'RE VERY SIMILAR.
PLEASE, IF THERE'S LOVE OUT THERE, I'M AVAILABLE.
>> THAT'S WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL.
>> LET'S GIVE THEM A REAL WOW MOMENT.
SAMBA CAN GET VERY MESSY VERY QUICKLY.
>> I THOUGHT I WAS GOING IN BETWEEN. THIS IS BANANAS.
LEARNING SO MUCH. I FEEL A LITTLE OVERWHELMED BY
ALL THE FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT. THIS IS NOT AN EARLY SEASON
DANCE.
>> IT'S NOT.
>> WE HAVE TAKEN ON A MORE DIFFICULT DANCE TO IMPRESS THE
JUDGES. I HOPE THAT HIGH RISK HIGH
REWARD PAYS OFF. LET'S GET IT!

>> Alfonso: JASON AND DANIELLA, BRINGING US A HIGHER LOVE WITH
THEIR SAMBA.
COME ON OVER. ALL RIGHT. BILLY, YOU ARE UP FIRST.
>> Billy: I LOVE YOU. I LOVED IT.
YOUR CHARACTER, YOUR CONNECTION. ONE BIG THING, THE FACE.
YOUR MOUTH. THE MOUTHING OF THE WORDS.
>> NOT GOOD?
>> Billy: IT'S DISTRACTING. SAVE THAT FOR WHEN YOU ARE ON
BROADWAY BECAUSE YOU SING AT THE SAME TIME. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT'S A LITTLE DISTRACTING. BUT YOU ARE FANTASTIC.
>> Bruno: I TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED.
THAT WAS A VERY, VERY HIGH CONTENT, HIGH QUALITY SAMBA.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU MESSED IT UP.
YOU MESSED IT UP FOUR TIMES.
>> I KNOW.
>> Bruno: AT THIS STAGE, YOU REALLY HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT ALL
THE WAY THROUGH. I PRAISE YOU FOR THE QUALITY OF
THE WORK THAT YOU ATTEMPTED.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Carrie: WE'RE AFTER WEEK, YOU ARE SHOWING US YOUR TECHNIQUE.
A BIT OF ADVICE. YOU ARE GETTING LOST IN THE MIX.
IT'S A LITTLE TOO CASUAL. I WONDER IF THAT CONTRIBUTED TO
YOU NOT FINISHING THE MOVE ENOUGH AND THAT'S WHAT BLURRED
THE MOVE INTO THE NEXT MOVE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE SNAP.
IT WAS STARTING TO COME OUT IN THAT ROUTINE.
>> CAN WE DO IT ONE MORE TIME?
>> Alfonso: ONE MORE TIME AFTER THE SHOW.
>> Derek: THAT WAS PROPER. YOU HAD IT ALL IN THERE.
YOU HAD THE BOUNCE. YOU HAD THE RHYTHM.
I MUST HAVE BLINKED WHEN THE MISTAKES HAPPENED.
>> Alfonso: HEAD UP FOR YOUR SCORES. BY THE WAY, TONIGHT HAS A
SPECIAL MEANING FOR OUR OWN RAY CHEW, WHO WORKED WITH
WHITNEY HOUSTON ON ONE OF HER VERY LAST TV PERFORMANCES.
SO PLEASE, GIVE IT UP FOR OUR MUSIC DIRECTOR, OUR SINGERS AND
OUR BAND. IT'S RAY CHEW LIVE. JULIANNE --
>> Julianne: THANKS, ALFONSO. WHAT'S UP?
>> KICK A CAN DOWN THE STREET.
>> Julianne: YOU SAID, I WISH I COULD DO IT ONE MORE TIME.
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> WE HAVE DONE THIS SO MANY TIMES.
HITTING IT SO HARD, SO SHARP. I WAS READY TO GO OUT THERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
>> Julianne: SOMETIMES THE ENERGY OF THE ROOM, THE CROWD.
WAS THERE SOMETHING --
>> I THINK I KICK BALL CHANGED EARLY. AFTER THAT, THE PATTERN
UNRAVELLED BEFORE ME.
>> Julianne: THOSE DANG KICK BALL CHANGES.
>> KICKED ME IN THE BALL CHANGE.
>> Julianne: LET'S KICK BALL CHANGE TO YOUR SCORES.
>> Carrie: EIGHT.
>> Derek: KICK BALL CHANGE, NINE.
>> Billy: EIGHT.
>> Bruno: EIGHT.

>> Alfonso: WE'RE BACK WITH "WHITNEY HOUSTON NIGHT" AND OUR
GUEST JUDGE, BILLY PORTER. NEXT UP IN THIS FIRST ROUND IS
OUR FILM AND TV ACTRESS, PERFORMING A CONTEMPORARY
ROUTINE TO WHITNEY'S THIRD NUMBER ONE HIT, "GREATEST LOVE
OF ALL." IT'S ALYSON HANNIGAN AND
SASHA FARBER.
>> Derek: THAT WAS THE BEST DANCE YET!
>> I HAD TO HOLD BACK TEARS. I WAS SO HAPPY.
I CAN FEEL I'M IMPROVING.
>> THIS WAS THE BREAKTHROUGH WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK I DID TO RAISE MY SCORES?
>> YOU ARE UNDERSTANDING THE MOVEMENT I'M ASKING FOR.
I NEED YOU TO BELIEVE THAT. MOVING ON, IT'S WHITNEY HOUSTON
NIGHT.
>> I CHOSE "GREATEST LOVE OF ALL."
IT'S THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SONG OF MY LIFE.
I HAD A REALLY HARD CHILDHOOD. I WAS ALONE A LOT.
IT WAS THE FIRST SONG THAT INTRODUCED THE IDEA OF SELF-LOVE.
I NEEDED IT SO BAD WHEN I WAS A KID.
SHE WAS THE ONLY PERSON TELLING ME TO LOVE MYSELF.
A TIME THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY THERE FOR ME.
THIS DANCE IS FOR THAT YOUNGER SELF.
>> I'M NOT HERE. THIS IS YOUR ENERGY.
THE CONTEMPORARY IS ALL ABOUT TELLING A STORY THROUGH MOVEMENT.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE RAW. I WANT IT TO FEEL LIKE SHE'S
DANCING ALONE. I'M HER ANGEL GUIDING HER TO
WHERE SHE'S NOW. KEEP REACHING UNTIL THERE'S A
SAFE PLACE.
>> THE FACT THAT THERE'S LESS RULES AND MORE EMOTION SEEMS
LIKE THAT'S MY WHEELHOUSE. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I DON'T GET
LOST IN THAT.
>> IN AND OUT.
>> THE SONG GOT ME THROUGH SO MUCH.
I AM GOING TO THANK THE SONG WITH THIS DANCE.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IT TOGETHER.
>> HERE WE GO. COME HERE.

WOW. YES, YES. OKAY.
BRUNO?
>> Bruno: SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE, DEEPLY FELT AND TRUE.
WHO CAME UP WITH THE IDEA, THAT STEP ON HIS BACK?
EXCUSE ME, THAT WAS A LITTLE -- I SAW A DIFFERENT SIDE OF YOU.
I LIKED IT.
>> Carrie: IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I CRIED HERE.
I WASN'T ALONE. I FEEL LIKE I WATCHED YOUR REAL
STORY. I SAW YOU START ALONE. THIS HOPE. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
TALK ABOUT STORYTELLING, WHAT BILLY ASKED FOR.
THAT WAS STORYTELLING. I WANT TO THANK YOU.
>> Derek: YOU JUST HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ENERGY ABOUT YOU.
YOU HAVE THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE SEASON. IT'S ENGAGING.
IT REALLY IS. WHAT WAS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS
ROUTINE TONIGHT WASN'T ALL THE STEPS AND ALL THE DIFFERENT
THINGS, IT WAS THAT YOU WERE DANCING FOR YOU.
THAT DRAWS US IN. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, SO PURE.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
>> Billy: COME ON, ACTRESS WOMAN.
CONNECTION IN STORYTELLING. WHAT YOU SAID, THAT IT WAS THE
MOST IMPORTANT SONG OF YOUR LIFE, I FELT THAT.
I UNDERSTOOD THAT. WHAT I LOVE SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT
YOU DID IS THAT YOU DID NOT GET LOST IN IT.

POINT THOSE BISCUITS NEXT TIME.

REST OF OUR STARS PERFORM TO THEIR WHITNEY HOUSTON HITS.
XOCHITL GOMEZ WANTS TO DANCE WITH SOMEBODY, SO WE'LL SEE HER

>> Julianne: THANKS, ALFONSO. I JUST HAVE TO SAY IT.
YOU ARE LITERALLY WHAT REPRESENTS THIS ENTIRE SHOW.
YOUR IMPROVEMENT IS BEYOND. EACH WEEK -- YES, EXACTLY.
EACH WEEK, YOU HAVE JUST BROKEN THROUGH.
YOU HAVE HAD BREAKTHROUGHS. HOW ARE YOU FEELING WITH THE
IMPROVEMENTS?
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE IT MYSELF. I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT I'VE BEEN
GIVEN THIS MUCH TIME. I CLEARLY NEEDED IT.
I'M JUST -- I'M ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT OF IT.
IT'S BEEN SUCH AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.

>> Alfonso: THANKS, JULIANNE. NEXT UP, OUR MARVEL STAR

NAMED BILLBOARD'S NUMBER ONE POP SONG OF ALL TIME.
IT'S WHITNEY'S "I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY."
CHECK OUT XOCHITL GOMEZ AND
VAL CHMERKOVSKIY IN TRAINING.
>> Bruno: YOU WEREN'T QUITE ON IT AS USUAL. YOU KNOW THAT.
>> I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WARDROBE MISHAP.
TWO NINES AND TWO EIGHTS FELT AWFUL. I WAS MAD.
THE HAT, THE JACKET WORKED EVERYWHERE BUT THE LIVE SHOW.
HAVING THAT HAPPEN REALLY CHANGED MY ENERGY.
IT WAS A GREAT MAKEUP CALL. WE GOT COMFORTABLE.
IT WAS A ROUGH TWO DAYS IN A ROW.
>> YOU TWISTED YOUR ANKLE THE DAY BEFORE.
>> DURING OUR TEAM DANCE REHEARSAL I SPRAINED MY ANKLE.
IT LOOKS NASTY. MY FOOT WENT LIKE THIS.
I INJURED THE SAME FOOT WHEN I WAS FILMING "DR. STRANGE."
I HOPE WE CAN GIVE IT OUR ALL.
>> THE TANGO TO "I WANT TO DANCE WITH SOMEBODY."
DO YOU KNOW THAT SONG?
>> IT'S ICONIC.
>> IT'S A CLASSIC.
>> THE TANGO IS MORE EXPLOSIVE, WAY MORE DYNAMIC.
HOW IS YOUR FOOT? THIS INJURY LIMITS HER.
I WILL BRING YOU ICE.
>> I'M NOT AN AGGRESSIVE PERSON BY NATURE.
I'M A LITTLE OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE. I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE.
AFTER LAST WEEK'S MISHAP AND NOW THIS ANKLE INJURY, THIS IS THE

IT SHOULD BE BENT TO CREATE THE SHOULDER LINE.
THE ENERGY WE SPEAK OF, IN BALL ROOM DANCE -- IT'S NOT ENERGY,
IT'S FROM THE TORSO, THE BACK, EVERYTHING MOVES FROM HERE.
THERE'S A REASON WHY WE'RE MOVING THAT WAY.
