i love how they include alfonso and julianne into the opening dances and they perform just as amazing as the pros!! (yes i know julianne is a pro dancer and alfonso competed and won before lol)

[@mindyourmanners4652]

Alfonso is a train dancer and worked in Michael Jackson another videos

[@darielaga1925]

I feel you! They totally kill it when they dance and I love them being included

[@kchill8441]

I absolutely love this too!!!

[@diannacarey6508]

Dwts used to be a dance competition. It's become a popularity contest. Unfortunately each week someone has to go. As much as I like him, barry Williams is still there and he is BY FAR, one of the worse dancers I have ever seen..he is a nice person but he has FLAT FEET..

I love when Juliane and Alfonso dance towards the end in opening number. They are the perfect host. This year the pro dancers and the host are perfect selection.

[@starrynight8007]

Yup 👍 Finally. Can't believe it was that hard to figure out 😅

[@michellehernandez-ed9wd]

They also danced towards the end of motown night opening number too

[@JenJenCoco]

Alfonso and Julianne are the BEST things to happen to DWTS! 🎉

[@Alsayid]

I can't believe they made the viewers suffer so long with Tyra.

[@QuietDawn6]

Totally agree ❤

[@JenJenCoco]

@@Alsayid and that was a lot of suffering omg she was beyond awful. The dynamic between these two is just awesome and they’re both naturals at this. Definitely like the show with 2 hosts.

[@Nicole11522]

Exactly, they should have been hosting for years now!

[@ekxm]

The hosts also dancing is always the best 🤍

Alan and Brandon always making me laugh during their dances, such fun facial expressions and genuinly having fun, well everyone is but those 2 boys just crack me up!!!

She's Amazing!

Honestly this is how DWTS should always be. Awesome pros and the hosts have captured what it felt like when we first had Tom and Brooke.

ALFONSO thank you for your warm kind spirit!!! You’re an excellent dancer!!!!

Alfonso is an amazing dancer!! Wow

[@angiepai314]

Alfonso keeping up with the pros! :) so lovely to see!

[@FeatheredWingz]

SO much fun!!! This number got me so hyped for this week's show. Billy Porter really gave a great vocal performance and Alfonso & Julianne really tied the energy together!

[@cherryonasundae]

Wowwww Alfonso killed that!! He’s still got it! 🎉 and Billie porters voice is perfection!

[@MrKevonator]

Omg they fixed the audio issues!! I was like oh naurrrrr during the live show lol

[@FeatheredWingz]

I was worried the number was just gonna be one of thos "oopsie; live tv" memories, then saw this upload & just thought it was my tv and/or streaming connection here in Canada...good to know I didn't imagine that lol. I'm guessing there was a connection drop & it was fine, live...orrrr they had recordings of the sound that accidentally cut out & edited them back in for the slightly-edited final episode upload on Disney+

[@BradyRanger]

I thought it was just me! Glad to know it wasn't just my TV that had the problem.

[@LunchAtTiffanys]

You know it’s going to be a fun show when the opening song got you dancing circles in your living room 😂😂❤❤ I loved it !

[@murielcarrie1292]

YESSSSS - I love it!! Billy did his thing and when Alphonse and Julianne joined the dancers - I LOVED IT!!! :)

[@elyssaW659]

Billy porter killed it. This has to be one of the best opening ever! Love how they included both of the hosts!

[@naomiarram5187]

I LOVE Billy, but it really looks like he's lip synching.

[@JenJenCoco]

He couldn’t even lip sync properly and on time. Whatever! He’s an annoying man that acts like a woman. He made the rudest comments to some of the celebs.

[@doglover7675]

[@tedd7582]

@@naomiarram5187 Agree. Watch between 0.36-0.38. The lip does not match with the sound. Again on 0.52-0.54

[@annettealexander3673]

Loving the opening numbers this season one word fabulous

[@doglover7675]

This might be unpopular but I grew up watching Whitney. She was truly the brightest star in the sky. Her talent was incredible. Unsure how DWTS could not find a beautiful black woman to lipsync/sing. DWTS is going to have to get serious about the best contestant winning - which likely means, no more celebrity judges, and no more popularity voting. Watching the contest at the end shows how close these couples are.

[@Jeh110]

I am also here with an unpopular opinion. Whitney Houston deserved better. If you’re going to imitate Whitney, at least sound like her. I feel the same way about Michael Jackson. Why on earth was a non-binary person kicking off the Whitney Houston tribute? Incredibly disrespectful I thought.

[@markmullins9388]

Whitney probably would have loved this performance.

I don’t understand why this show doesn’t have enough money to pay for royalties to play the real music? Billie Porter’s voice sounded hoarse and he didn’t have the right range for this song.
