  • I will enjoy seeing Donny Osmond and the young talent, but again there are far too many has-been actors/actress/athletics, trying to make a come-back. ABC was great in the first few years, but when will they get it. Try the concept of "Dance your A_...

  • I swear I thought I saw Donnie Osmond cutting the ribbon at a new Wendy's in my neighborhood. He's always lurking somewhere ready to jump out yell "It's me Donnie".

    • Can't tell you what Donnie Osmond did but I guarantee that Donny Osmond was not there. He is quite busy.

  • I would like Donny and Kelly dance themselves off the stage into outer space. Let's make an effort to vote against these loosers.

    • 46 years in show business, Donny is hardly a "looser". Besides you can't vote off only vote for your favorite. I will be voting for him, sorry.

    • Donny Osmond, no talent? You know just because you don't like a particular artist doesn't mean they have no talent, it's just means their performing isn't your taste. Donny has never been riding on Marie coat talis. He is very successful on his own....

  • I'm excited. Even if I haven't heard of some of the people, generally they are the fun ones to watch--Gilles. Donny Osmond is going to be great and Melissa Joan Hart has wanted to do the show for quite a while now, she'll be fun. Lots of luck to all...

  • The producers must have run out of REAL STARS. The show is called "Dancing With The Stars" not "Dancing With The Has Been"

  • Donny will obviously win. The rest of the cast are all B list stars and relatively unknowns.
