Donny Osmond is the Winner of Dancing with the Stars

Dancing with the Stars continues to grow in popularity with each new season. It is one of the most watched shows, with ratings that continue to go up each season.

The popularity of the show is due in large part to the stars that dance each season. Each star is teamed up with a professional dancer and taught dances each week to perform in front of a live audience. There is a panel of three judges on the show and the TV audience votes from home. This is what will ultimately decide who wins.

This season which was the 9th season had a lot of very good stars and wonderful dancing routines. But after each weeks elimination and the viewer votes were cast, the last three stars left standing for the finals were Kelly Osbourne, Donny Osmond, and Maya.

Kelly Osbourne was partnered with professional dancer Louis Van Amstel, Donny Osmond was partnered with professional dancer Kym Johnson, and Maya was partnered with professional dancer Dmitry Chaplin. All three of these stars started out at the beginning of the season dancing rather stiffly and a little unsure of themselves. But with their dancing partners they made wonderful progress and were able to advance to the finals.

The first of the three to be eliminated was Kelly Osbourne and her dancing partner Louis Van Amstel. Kelly was the most improved dancer of all the stars. During the last several weeks she was dancing with such elegance and grace. She was beautiful and amazing to watch.

Maya came in second place with her dancing partner Dmitry Chaplin. Maya had a few weeks at the beginning of the season where she was a little stiff and somewhat nervous. She quickly got over these obstacles and became a beautiful dancer. She always put on a wonderful dance performance. She was one of the favorites from early on in the competition.

The first place winner of Dancing with the Stars was Donny Osmond and his partner Kym Johnson. Donny was a fan favorite from the beginning, but as he took the advice of the judges and used their feedback he was able to turn his dancing around. Donny was fun to watch and was very entertaining in all of his dance routines. He has a lot of showmanship and the audience and viewers at home were able to pick up on that.

Donny Osmond deserved to win the 9th season of Dancing with the Stars. He had a great work ethic. Donny traveled back and forth from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and he also danced while he was sick with the flu. He took his dance practicing very seriously and in the end it paid off, as he became the new Dancing with the Stars champion and received the coveted mirror ball trophy.
