Nick Channeling His Inner Travolta with the Samba!

I was beyond excited for this performance and couldn't wait to see Nick get his inner Tony Manero on with Saturday Night Fever!!!!! (I was working out all week to Bee Gees music to send Nick positive vibes.) I must admit that I've watched this performance so many times and absolutely fangirled over the opening scene of Nick walking down the street to the tune of the Bee Gees! God, was that sexy as hell lol! Nick does well as an Italian haha! I'm Italian so I approve lol. And that sexy walk...I'm done *thud.*

He owned the whole performance and it was great to see him with so much confidence! It was so much fun to watch so I can only imagine how it felt to be him and "groove to the music" ;) Much respect to the 70's for all the pelvic thrusts and booty shaking lol. And that knees move...geez, I couldn't even attempt that. I don't think I have that much muscle strength to pull myself back up.

Nick is always a leader.

I loved how this performance mostly showcased Nick's dancing abilities. Definitely should have gotten all tens, but I guess someone has a stick up their butt *cough* Carrie Ann. Regardless, Nick should be safe. I know I voted and even tried to vote via phone and it was busy. Our boy is doing so good!

Fierce baby, fierce!

The Dirty Dancing performance was my second favorite with Bindy. The "pony" dance performance was kind of corny, so I'm still glad Nick didn't end up with that one. In my opinion, with that dance you go all the way or don't bother and it being ABC and PG, that wasn't going to happen lol. I had to laugh at the gyrating on the chair part of the dance.

So there's a Dancing With the Stars tour. It's not coming to Chicago, but if Nick will be part of it, I'm going to see if I can make it to the Indiana one. We'll see what ends up happening with that.

It's almost Friday! I have to work and then I'll be attending a Haunted Chicago event where they speak on some haunted places in the Chicago area. Should be interesting. As much as a scaredy cat I can be, I'm still fascinated with the paranormal. It'll be something fun to do for Halloween.

Saturday there will be some cute animals at another local library near me and I love animals so I plan on doing that Saturday along with visiting the gym since I'm probably not able to go to the gym today because of an appointment.

Speaking of the gym, I finally tried a class since the classes are free with the membership. It was alright and the instructor was very friendly and nice. He had to assist me with setting up my bike and when he asked me if I've done this before, I asked him if it looked like I did and we both laughed because I looked clueless lol. My feet were killing me at the end of the workout and I felt like it was more of a workout for gaining muscle and I'm more interested in burning fat, but it was a nice experience. I think I'll stick to my usual elliptical routine. Besides, I always enjoy listening to my music while working out.

Because of karaoke, I downloaded some more 90's music on my ipod. Rocking out to Limp Bizkit and Buckcherry. I always feel like singing out loud the dirtiest parts of the song but because people would get the wrong idea, I end up going really fast on the elliptical so it works for me lol.

I'll end my post with BSB. That was special that all of the guys were able to get together in New York for that fashion show event. They all looked great and did an awesome job with their performance! All what I can say is come back to Chicago so I can be more of a part of Backstreet history. Wasn't the last fashion show performance they did with Jenny McCarthy for Old Navy? That was a good event too and I love Jenny McCarthy so it was fun to see her flirt with the boys with that personality of hers.

All the guys together performing *fuzzies*

Okay, all the guys look sexy as hell but Nick's look says 'f#@k me.'

Nick Dances the Paso Doble

I've been trying to catch up with my DWTS blog posts, but life gets in the way. At least I can still see the show after I get home from work.

Nick danced the paso doble and he did a wonderful job! I enjoyed the costumes, the song, and most of all Nick's passion. One judge said he was "overdoing" it but I love Nick's passion and found that to be my favorite aspect of the performance and it came across very sexy! Did anyone else feel like saying, "take me and ravish me!" after seeing Nick's stance? lol Ok. Just me then.

Nick in black leather...yum.

There's no secret that Nick and Sharna have better chemistry than him and Witney did, but I think that has to do with everyone staying committed to their original pairings. Everyone did a great job, but I am glad Nick is back with Sharna.

I read an article that Maks had dated Willa Ford. I didn't know about that and I completely forgot that she was on the show herself. I know I would never downgrade from Nick to Maks lol. I also know if I ever had Nick I would hold onto him tight because it's hard to find a decent, kind man...nevertheless one that is absolutely handsome to boot. No man is perfect, but Nick is pretty damn close lol.

Anyway, Maks has always struck me as a pompous, conceited person but I never met him so of course i don't know that for sure.  With that being said, I think he wasn't sabotaging Nick with one point lower than the rest of the judges but if he was, that won't stop Nick anyway.

To be honest, I'm not really into the show unless Nick is on there. I tried to watch Dancing when Aaron was on there, but couldn't watch the whole season. I like "So You Think You Can Dance" better because they use more current music and pop moves. DWTS made a good choice asking Nick to be on the show because if he wasn't, I wouldn't be watching.

I'm am excited to see what dance Nick does next on Monday. It supposed to be famous movie dance scenes, so I'm hoping he'll get Dirty Dancing, Grease, or Saturday Night Fever. All of that would be fun to see. And omg, just did a quick update and found out Nick will be dancing to the Saturday Night Fever scene! YES! This will be hot...and will take me back to 70's night on the cruise! On the cruise, I noticed Nick danced really well to 70's music...dare I say even better than current music so I'm really excited for this one! I also remember the bubbles lol.

I am overly excited about Nick doing this scene!

A couple will be dancing to "Pony" from Magic Mike lol. I'm so glad Nick didn't get that one. Don't get me wrong, that's always sexy but I want to see something new since that was done during Nick and Knight and a couple of promotional things I seen him at in Chicago.

Something exciting happened! Nick favorited one of my tweets. Totally made my day and I definitely fangirled lol. It's just reassurance that he seen my tweet and I've been going through a tough breakup, so it was nice to have his support in such a way. He really is my angel from afar. Thank you, Nick!

Thank you, Nick :)

Can't wait for the weekend! Doing karaoke for a third time and yes, I'm starting to be known as the Backstreet Boys girl because I sing a BSB song everytime lol. 

Nick Dancing Jazz to Backstreet's Back

Hi all. Still disappointed summer is over, but I'm already starting to do some fall activities, including getting out my winter clothes. Last weekend, I went to a bonfire with friends at an apple orchard. It was such a beautiful orchard with tons of activities. Next time, I'll be sure to visit inside the shops. We were able to go through the largest corn maze and enjoy some Mikes Hard Lemonade by the bonfire. I love the smell of burning wood! All what we needed was some country music. The night sky was beautiful, but it was so cold. I was wrapped in my fleece blanket the whole time.

We went through the world's largest corn maze! Go Blackhawks!

Last week, Nick danced to "Everybody, Backstreet's Back" on Dancing with the Stars! Watch it here. It was great to see him dance to a BSB song and the performance was very energetic and fun being jazz. I liked how the audience was showcased at the beginning of the routine and their outfits looked sexy with black leather. Of course my favorite part was when Nick danced to his "am I sexual?" part. That's the best part of the whole song ;) It was also fun to see Nick's name in big green letters at the end of the dance. Here's to #TeamSharNick!

Nick's New Single and DWTS

How great has Nick and Sharna been on Dancing with the Stars?! Nick has been doing an incredible job and even though it's so endearing that he seems to be nervous, he has nothing to be nervous about! He has his drive and determination, experience, and us as fans to keep him going and give him support.

I enjoyed Nick dancing the jive during week 2, night 1 and it did remind me of the BSB cruise because of their outfits. I'm so disappointed that I won't be going on the cruise this time around that I dreamed I was watching the BSB documentary with a bunch of fans who all said they would be going lol. I think it's because around this time the past two years I would be packing and getting excited for it.

Back to the jive performance, I enjoyed seeing Nick "wake up" in plaid and I didn't even notice he tripped. To me it looked like it was meant to happen. Such a fun performance, but I do seem to like the performances where they use more current music more. In this dance they used the Bugle Boy of Company B song. I noticed they made Nick's pants tight...but I'm not complaining lol. 

See! Doesn't this remind you of cruising with BSB?

Wish Nick could dip me lol.

On night two, Nick and Sharna did the foxtrot. This has been my favorite performance so far because it was so beautiful and romantic. I enjoyed seeing Nick's caring side when he was comforting Sharna on her family matters and of dedicating the dance to them. I related to this on a personal level and as silly as it sounds, I wish Nick could have said the same thing to me when I was going through such a similar tough time with my mother's illness and passing.

How pretty! The smoke and wind was adding to the atmosphere.

One of the reasons I adore Nick so much is that he really is a nice, wonderful man. I've met guys who aren't even as talented or good looking as Nick and think they are God's gift to women and treat others beneath them because of their looks and status. And with Nick, he really is a good person. He treats everyone with kindness and doesn't think he is better than anyone else. That is so refreshing and admirable and because of this I think he deserves every great moment that happens to him in his lifetime.

I could gush more about Nick, but I will just say a few more comments on this dance routine. The costumes were very elegant and I swooned when Nick caressed Sharna's face. Their hug at the end was very sweet. You could really tell Nick was giving it all for Sharna and I think that shows his character as a human being. He needs to want to show the same determination for himself and make sure he gives himself his all too. The song choice added to the emotion of it all with "I'm Coming Home" by Skylar Grey.

On Week 3, we seen Nick and Sharna perform the Viennese Waltz with a Downton Abbey theme. I never watched the show, but have heard positive things about it. After I get through Game of Thrones, I'll give this series a try.

Nick doing his Downton Abbey impression.

Screams elegance!

The outfits were once again beautiful, but I did prefer the attire from the foxtrot dance. The entrance of Nick coming down the stairs was nice and the emotion they evoked helped the performance. Nick's bow and kiss on Sharna's hand was an appropriate ending to the dance and made every woman sigh I'm sure...or at least I did lol.

Wishing #TeamSharNick the best and I'm not going to worry until we get down to the wire. They definitely should be in the final two.

Vote! Vote! Vote!

If you aren't getting enough of Nick just by watching Dancing with the Stars, be sure to watch his new music video for "I Will Wait" a few million times. Nick looks sexy and simplistic and the video compliments the message of the song wonderfully. The lyrics are beautiful and the video has a powerful ending.

He makes me smile.

Be sure to buy the single now on Itunes and you need AJ's song too!!!
