Charity killed it with this rumba. Artem sure put in alot of work in choreographing this dance.

[@mrsnet6654]

Artem is a beast! Charity was flawless.

[@Hmy8799]

Couldn’t agree more with you both! Super happy Artem has had a dancer who’s been talented enough where he could actually use his choreographing skills this season, because he’s really amazing. I honestly can’t remember who the last person was that he was paired with where he had this much free rein when it came to choreo, being confident that they’d be able to execute.

She's not going to win though!!!!

Exquisite. Well done Charity and Artem. Deserved a perfect score. Love that Bruno defended charity against Derek. Not sure what dance Derek was watching. She was totally connecting

[@faithperry5394]

It was probably be she’s she want showing enough facial emotion but this dance was amazing

[@terry-annfrancis1252]

Deserved all 10’s

[@oliverwady4749]

Her best dance this season!!!

[@Roma-SRyan]

This deserved a perfect score. Her facial expressions were finally on point, throughout the whole dance, it gave what it needed. Amazing

[@lynnngo7256]

Gorgeous ❤️ and I loved her facial expressions to go along with the dance. She was flawless this evening. Artem is a great choreographer! They did look effortless gliding across the dance floor.

[@nichistein]

Stunning, as derek said that was a difficult routine and she nailed it

[@mrsnet6654]

Beautifully executed... gliding across the floor effortlessly. Charity is so beautiful.

[@user-wm7wl3ou5f]

That was stunning rumba and beautiful moves well done guys 👍

[@Hmy8799]

Oh my GOD this was INSANELY STUNNING. I got the chills-combo of the song and the dancing, and both of them remaining fully in character the entire time!! Charity REALLY took CAI’s note about keeping her face “in the dance” to heart, as was evidenced FULLY in both of her dances tonight! Also…the closeups of her friggin FACE at the beginning and end….she’s literally just one of the most beautiful humans. Like WHAT!

[@justforjacob]

she made me cry. i thought it was so beautiful.

[@hehehehe52]

Her lines are INSANE

[@libratude9595]

Charity danced this number so exquisitely, my heart burst like a proud parent 🥹. Finally letting her guard down, showcased trust and vulnerability. Tossed her inhibitions to the wind. I think we saw in real time, growth right before our eyes. Congrats Charity 👏🫶👏🫶👏.

Dear dancing with stars I am voting for charity Lawson to win with the stars

[@davidhill8565]

I won’t be able to watch the finale of this season of DWTS due to failure to pay for the Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions, but I can still vote for Charity.

[@avismarie3]

Her best yet:) The emotion and heart and those legs all there:) wow.... Totally Worth the wait:) Fabulous:) Charity:)

[@henriettaokonkwo7356]

Really love this. I don't know their problems with not giving you perfect score but don't mind them.

[@Yellow4494]

She basically did get a perfect score it was 1 point off but she's not the best dancer there although she is improving

[@lizcr.herbal]

OMG... thank you thank you this is the Charity that I was expecting to come out, there connection was there and the partnership. The performance was MAGNIFICENT Bravo!!!!!

[@jess97724]

& she acts like she knows she's going to win it but actually she's not Xochiti will & Xochiti has a better personality too that matches her born talent where Charity is just a reality star that's all.

[@davidhill8565]

@@jess97724In many seasons, the best landed in second place, sometimes third. Anything can happen. If the best always won, Mel B would’ve won instead of Helio Castroneves. Mya Harris would’ve won instead of Donny Osmond. Kelly Monaco would’ve come in second. JoJo Siwa would’ve won instead of Iman Shumpert. Normani Kordei would’ve won instead of Rashad Jennings.

[@e.r.330]

I rarely comment on things, but I had to for this one. First, this dance was gorgeous. They really did look like they were gliding across the floor and it had such a light, ethereal feel to it. My one critique (and this is just my opinion) is that I would have liked to have seen just a tiny bit more of a connection between the two of them. Some passion. Up until this dance, I've felt like Charity did fantastic technically, but she doesn't feel it. It was almost like watching a robot. Not everything is on her though, I feel like Artem could get her to look at him more while dancing. They have to match energies. It's hard to get into it when your partner won't "let go" and emote. She improved in this dance, and honestly I think it deserved all 10s. But I would love to see her really connect with Artem for the finale. If you want to watch some dances where Artem looks like he's having the most fun dancing and his parter gives "good face" watch all of his dances with his partner Natalie Gumede from Strictly Come Dancing on yt. There was amazing connection and passion there. I understand that Charity isn't an actress, but i would love to see it. Best of luck to them! ❤

[@inmyopinion1261]

Totally deserved all 10s loved the passion and structure. I want Max as a judge, just saying.

[@KH-hs5xv]

She definitely deserved a perfect score

[@mrsoutkast]

Beautifulllllll 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥲🥲🥲

[@toshaangelle8245]

This did something to me

[@bryndaharris3073]

I wanted to see at least one full Rumba move. A nice dance nevertheless.

[@new735758]

The fact that they her a slow song tells me that they don’t want her in the finals. People vote for fast, dramatic Routines

[@antonellagallasteguiugarte4377]

How did she get two 10s? She didn’t point her feet and her legs didn’t look strong but she still looked stiff. I’m not hating, it’s a beautiful dance but there’s is much room for improvement, so I wouldn’t have scored a 10.

[@EGM-he8sd]

That was a beautiful dance, but she doesn’t always connect with the audience that may be her downfall.

[@KH-hs5xv]

That's not true.....she totally connected

[@IndigoCosmic]

Like I said #dwts #abc DO NOT want a BLACK WOMAN to SHINE. Out of 30 seasons they've only had ONE BLACK WOMAN ever win! This speaks volumes! Derrick is a pos and had the audacity to say she wasn't given enough emotion and Bruno had to cut him off! Because he knew that was a damn lie. Charity should have gotten all 10s for this performance. She gave emotion and they still say it wasn't enough. Stop trying to break black women down!

[@peggyshaw9812]

I totally agree. They tried to pull that mess on Simone Biles and she let them have it.

[@ronniepeterson6911]

And let's not forget Charity Lawson & Artem Chigvintsev as they Rumba in round one with the song "Love The Way You Lie Part Two by Skylar Grey. Derek thought she made the dance look effortless , the way she articulated her feet was fantastic, but there's still a bit of emotional disconnection. Bruno begs to differ, she was really emoting and feeling the dance and Carrie Ann agrees with Bruno that she had the breakthrough, it was artistry in motion. Two 9s for Carrie Ann and Bruno and one 9 for Derek bring from 29 out of 30 to an impressive lower score unfortunately, there were no elimination replied DM but it's up to......

[@lindamyers951]

I would bet she or Val were the one to go so DWTS saved them all. Competition calls for someone to leave. They couldn't stand that Arian, Jason and Alyson got more votes

[@terry-annfrancis1252]

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case.

[@jenenewalker3390]

She was not in the bottom 2 so how is it that you say she got saved?

[@terry-annfrancis1252]

@@jenenewalker3390 well I mean they pick names in random order. So there is definitely a possibility.

[@chijavier1869]

My problem with her is that she can’t do facial expressions.

[@Bphillips1984]

I thought Ariana rumba was way better and way more elegant and graceful.

[@KH-hs5xv]

Did we watch the same thing?

[@davidhill8565]

Ariana has dancing experience prior to the competition.

[@sandym3659]

Stunning rumba but she still doesn't feel the dance which is such a shame. At 0.18 she could have looked at Artem or felt the move instead staring blankly at the camera ahead. The ending stance at 1.28, again blank eyes, no expression at all. This could have an absolutely brilliant dance because the choreography and her execution of steps was exquisite.

[@Hmy8799]

Disagree-I think that’s actually an area that she’s improved the most in. When you break it down and find a literal second where she could have done SOMETHING DIFFERENT-that’s a matter of opinion and choice of she and Artem’s that they felt best fit the story. I saw no blank eyes and I was looking for them. Also…”blank eyes” may read to some people much differently than others-it can show that someone is feeling lost, confused, feeling uncertain, etc-all things that this performance/song calls for at moments. So when you think about it that way, your “finding” a time when she had “blank eyes” likely actually played *into* the story, as opposed to pulling the viewer (other than yourself) out of it. Just my opinion, of course!

[@peggyshaw9812]

She wasn’t staring blankly. She was staring expressively!

[@davidhill8565]

I’m sick and tired of pageantbot critiques.

[@VictoriousSage]

Did we watch the same dance? If the expressions were more exaggerated it would look fake. Charity was underscored by Derek

[@la8597]

@@VictoriousSageright. I feel like it’s such a fine fine balance to walk on because if you do too much they tell you to “control” it, and don’t be so theatrical. I’ve deff been wanting more from charity this season but for me, this checked all the empty boxes I’ve been waiting for!

[@lcd_777]

Ariana did better on her rumba had the hip action and all and Charity gave little to no hip action whatsoever and this is supposedly scored higher than Ariana’s?😩 Make it make sense!
