Jury to Simone Lugner:
Weichselbraun wows with XXL décolleté
The ORF ballroom finally opened its doors again on Friday evening and the ten new "Dancing Stars" celebrated a brilliant debut on the dance floor. However, there was not only a slip-up, great emotions, a little side blow and lots of praise for the celebrity dancers, but also an urgent appeal to Simone Lugner.
Simone Lugner's performance on "Dancing Stars" was eagerly awaited - not only by the fans in front of the TV screens, but also by the judges around Balazs Ekker, Missy May and Maria Angelini-Santner in the ORF ballroom. Everyone had to wait until the end, when Simone Lugner finally took to the floor with professional Danilo Campisi to shine in a quickstep.
Lugner should "break down walls"
After the performance, one thing was the main topic of discussion: who is this Simone Lugner, the woman that everyone wants to know but no one really knows? Missy May had a good tip for Richard Lugner's widow that went far beyond the dancing: "Simone, people who have been hurt a lot in life and also build up a wall tend to be very perfectionist because they are afraid of giving someone else even more of a target," she explained.
From her own experience, however, she knows: "There will never be a safer place in the world than in the dance halls here on ORF. Here you learn to tear down your walls, allow your feelings and put people first." She has a great partner at her side who can do that, so: "Take it easy with Campisi." And: "Be proud of yourself and try to enjoy this journey, because you don't know when it's over," Missy May advised the Lugner widow in conclusion.
"Be strong together!"
"If you don't believe in it yourself, then don't expect us to believe in it," Ekker then told Lugner. "Do something, make progress. If you make progress, you'll get good points, if you don't make progress, you won't get good points." Each of the candidates had their demons and everyone had to fight them.
"Show us, show Austria who you are!" Angelini-Santner appealed to Simone. Because: "You're in good hands," she also gave Danilo Campisi roses. "Be strong together, this can be great." 18 points - a good start!
Ekker raves about Glawischnig
In addition to the emotional words that the jury had for Simone Lugner, there was also plenty of praise to go around. Eva Glawischnig's Slow Waltz with her professional partner Dimitar Stefanin was particularly impressive. "It was a beautiful waltz, you opened up, which is difficult, especially in the first show," Ekker enthused. "To go on stage like that and show the real you, I think that's amazing!"
It was very elegant and she was "very excited about your journey, dear Eva", said Angelini-Santner. Missy May concentrated on Glawischnig's face because she wanted to see the emotions. She had seen that Eva already trusted Dimitar, which was very nice. The jury awarded 18 points for this great performance.
"You dance with your mouth"
Fifi Pissecker and Conny Kreuter kicked off the dancing with a cha-cha-cha. Missy May explained that Fifi Pissecker's performance "definitely swept her off her feet".
Above all, however, she had seen something in the cabaret artist that she had never experienced before: "You dance with your mouth!" she smiled. But it was a great opening dance.
"You're a person who doesn't take herself too seriously, which is certainly an advantage on 'Dancing Stars'," said Maria Angelini-Santner. This also created a great atmosphere in the ballroom, she said, delighted with the lively start. In the end, the jury awarded Pissecker 12 points for her first dance!
Side blow for Sarkissova
Balazs Ekker, on the other hand, had a side blow for Karina Sarkissova right at the start. He asked why Kreuter was back on "Dancing Stars" as a professional dancer. It reminded him of a famous "Dancing Stars" judge who once dared to step off the podium onto the dance floor - "and then you never saw her again ...", Ekker teased.
Sarkissova wanted to dance for the win in the last "Dancing Stars" season in 2023, but had to quit after the first show due to health problems. She simply missed dancing here, Kreuter finally argued in response to Ekker's question.
"Gracefully mastered"
Heilwig Pfanzelter and Florian Gschaider followed up with a quickstep to "Been Like This". How did the jury like it? "Quickstep is a really difficult opener," explained Ekker. "I have to say, you mastered it quite gracefully" - despite a few teething problems.
"Yes, of course there were mistakes," explained Angelini-Santner. But it was also her first dance and she was incredibly agile, he continued. It would be "boring" to master the first dance without any mistakes, Missy May added. It was simply a pleasure to watch Heilwig dance. 14 points!
"Danced into the heart"
"I think men who cook are very, very good. That's why you danced your way into my heart a little bit," Angelini-Santner enthused about star chef Andi Wojta, who danced a slow waltz with Kati Kallus to "At This Moment".
It was "beautiful", explained Missy May, because after all it was the "first narrated dance". And because it wasn't high-end choreography, Wojta was also able to make "a good first impression", added Ekker. An excellent 16 points!
"Surprise of the evening"
Julia Cencig and Patrick Seebauer also competed with a cha-cha-cha. "It was definitely a showstopper", said Missy May enthusiastically about the actress and her "Kernöl-Adonis". "You're insanely stiff, you're insanely tense", nagged Ekker on the other hand.
"That was sexy, it had drive, there were hips," Angelini-Santner counterattacked Ekker. "That was the surprise of the evening for me - so far!" The jury scored an excellent 20 points for this!
"Work, work, work"
The samba was on the program for Aaron Karl and Katya Mizera at the start. He once coached Papa Fritz Karl and then also doubled him, Ekker told us. "Work, work, work," he told the celebrity son for "Dancing Stars". He has the charisma, but he still needs to work on his technique.
"You are a young couple, you are a beautiful couple, but I also want a lot of work from you," Angelini-Santner added. She is looking forward to "getting to know the real Aaron", said Missy May. 18 points!
"Disney princess" Strigl celebrated her birthday
What did the jury say about the Slow Waltz by Anna Strigl, who celebrated her birthday on Friday, and Herby Stanonik? "It will be a wonderful birthday for you today because you did a lot of things right," said Angelini-Santner. The influencer simply has a great charisma.
She is "like a Disney princess" and she is sure that many girls at home are now calling for her because she danced so well. "Great performance", Ekker kept his assessment short and sweet. The jury gave her 22 points as a "birthday present" - and therefore first place in the ranking!
Dancing "harder than playing tennis"
Stefan Koubek and Manuela Stöckl danced a cha-cha-cha to "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!". Of course, the slip-up at the beginning did not go unnoticed by the strict eyes of the jury. "The end was okay ...", said Missy May. But she had faith in professional dancer Stöckl, who would rock the boat.
"Dancing is hard, harder than playing tennis," said Ekker. If something doesn't work in tennis, you can at least throw the racket. "In dancing, a lot goes wrong, the only thing we can do better is cover it up. You have to learn to put it away." According to Angelini-Santner, just because you're very well trained in one thing doesn't mean that your dancing will work. A meagre 8 points.
"Not suitable for young people" performance?
Paulus Bohl and Catharina Malek performed a samba to "Let You Love Me". A successful debut? "I'm not sure if all the moves were completely PG," laughed Angelini-Santner. But they were definitely not "the couple next door" and she was pleased that he was taking the "Dancing Stars" adventure seriously.
"I found it very amusing, I'm very happy that you're here," said Missy May. "There's nothing and a lot of things too. At the moment, only the clairvoyants can say what it's going to be", Ekker couldn't yet decide what to make of the comedian's performance. 17 points!
Mirjam Weichselbraun was also an eye-catcher at the start of "Dancing Stars". She opened the new "Dancing Stars" season in a silver glitter dress with an absolutely wow décolleté. Pure glamor in the ORF ballroom!
Weichselbraun not only had competition from the ten new "Dancing Stars", who swept across the floor for the first time, but also from the jury. Maria Angelini-Santner also looked magical as always in her pink, off-the-shoulder dress - as did guest judge and "Dancing Star" of 2023, Missy May.
No one had to leave yet!
At the start of this year's "Dancing Stars" season, the new celebrity dancers didn't have to tremble yet, as no couple was eliminated at the end. However, they still had to vote - the result of the jury's assessment and the audience's calls will be included in next week's ranking!
