Michael Bolton started off his jive performance with Chelsie Hightower on Monday night Dancing with the Stars in a doghouse, a ballroom prop set up to go with their music selection, Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog."
By the end of the routine, Bolton was in the figurative doghouse with the judges for what Bruno Tonioli called "the worst jive I've ever seen." He gave him just three points, while Carrie Ann Inaba gave him four and Len Goodman gave him five for a total of just 12 out of 30, a season low.
Find out what happened on Tuesday's results show – and if Bolton survived or if he was the second sent home, after David Hasselhoff.
No surprises this time – Bolton is gone. But he didn't go quietly.
"Last night, Bruno was inappropriate and disrespectful," Bolton said. "Other than that, it was a phenomenal experience."
Call him a “little monster” – Michael Bolton loves Lady Gaga.
The “Said I Loved You… But I Lied” singer, who recorded a ballad with Gaga for his May 2010 “One World One Love” album, has revealed his experience with the pop princess was nothing short of “amazing.”
“I love Gaga,” Michael told Access Hollywood, at a “Dancing with the Stars” rehearsal on Monday. “She is amazing and she was this close to me singing riffs for me.”
Michael said that in a world full of auto-tuned artists, Gaga’s vocal abilities are the real deal.
“You never know if a new artist has the skills or if they are created in a laboratory,” he said. “She’s got all of it — she is real.”
Lady Gaga fans were shocked last year when it was revealed that the blond songbird co-wrote and recorded a song, “Murder My Heart,” with the soft-rock singer.
“Nobody had heard of her when we wrote [our song],” Michael said. “I was thinking, ‘She is going to have a great launch,’ but nobody I think could predict the enormity of her trajectory. It’s been unbelievable.”
The “Soul Provider” is a vegetarian, but he has no beef with Gaga’s meaty 2010 MTV Video Music Awards ensemble. Though he hadn’t yet seen the fashion icon’s now-infamous dress, Michael said he “wouldn’t mind it.”
“I haven’t eaten meat in 38 years but I wouldn’t mind standing next to her if she was wearing meat,” he said.
“She is gonna shock you… but this is what she does — she creates ideas,” Michael continued. “Gaga is just gonna create her thing and we have to go along for the ride basically.”
Michael begins competing on “Dancing with the Stars” when the show premieres on tonight at 8:00 pm (ET) on ABC.
It’s time to take off the flip-flops and put on the dancing shoes as the cast of Dancing with the Stars season 11 is now in place.
