Okay, I watched a bit of it last night and was appalled! A couple stepped out to perform an Argentine Tango. First, I don't think the music was appropriate and, second, they didn't do anything close to an Argentine Tango. Instead, they did some kind of acrobatic display. It was sheer crap! I suppose watching such a performance might be pleasant but DON'T CALL IT ANY KIND OF TANGO! Then, the judges gave them high marks and never mentioned their dance was nothing like an Argentine Tango!
What a farce!
I was told, maybe that was their interpretation of Argentine Tango. Bull! That's like speaking French and claiming that's one's interpretation of Italian. It's like hiking up a mountain and saying that's your interpretation of snow-boarding downhill. Argentine Tango is a specific art-form. You just can't do gymnastics and say it's Tango.
If that couple were to try that crap in the streets of Buenos Aires...while they might attract some attention...if they claimed to be doing a Tango, they'd be laughed all the way back to Hollywood. Do it right...or stay home.
So much for watching TV!
