Dancing with the Stars: All Stars‘ had the most dramatic results show yet on Nov 20 — only three of the remaining five couples made it to the finale show next week. Plus, Paula Abdul performed and The Wanted did a medley of hits! First we saw a breakthrough performance from Parris Goebel — AT&T’s spotlight performance. The young up-and-comer was amazing in her hip-hop dance to Alicia Keys’ “Girl On Fire!”

Then, we were treated to The Wanted, singing “I Found You” and “Glad You Came!”

Shawn & Derek were saved first. Then it was between Melissa & Tony and Apolo & Karina — although both got perfect scores last night, someone had to go home in the ninth week of competition. Unfortunately, Apolo & Karina were sent home!

“This competition was hard from the beginning. Karina is a champion, I’ve learned so much about her, I’ve learned so much about myself. This show is amazing, far beyond just what the mirrorball trophy does for people. Every single person who does this show is a champion because it forces you to become a champion in your own right, become more confident, stronger. Everybody who makes this show happen… I feel great,” Apolo said after he was eliminated.

Next up, we were treated to a fabulous animated and live performance of Paula’s biggest hits!

Then, Derek Hough and four professional dancers wowed the crowd to “Heart cry,” an original song.

Finally, Kelly & Val faced off against Emmitt & Cheryl. Lovebirds Kelly & Val moved onto the finals.

“It’s been a tremendous experience. It’s been a great ride. Season 3 was something else but this takes it over the top. All of these contestants here have pushed me to another level, I’m serious, and I have great appreciation for the show,” Emmitt said before his final bow.

Next week, the final three couples face off for the coveted mirrorball trophy!

Who do you think will win, HollywoodLifers?

Melissa is, overall, the most well rounded combination of the three dancers; the most polished and elegant, as well as athletic and emotionally connected to her partner. Her unbelievable legs are those of a true dancer, and she is indistinguishable from the pro dancers. And I have always loved Tony Dovolani – besides his tremendous dancing talent – he seems the most kind and patient with whoever the star is that he is partnered with – and he is a natural teacher. Shawn is the most athletic naturally, but is somewhat robotic as far as emotional connections to the dances, the audience and to Derek. And Kelly and Val are so emotionally connected that one cannot help but be drawn into their dances with them and feel the experience along with them, and I think she has also been underscored by the judges a bit on her technical skills because she is actually so improved since the beginning. I would rank them according to whether I would want to keep watching them dance over and over, and so would put Melissa and Tony number one, Kelly and Val number two, and Shawn and Derek number three.
