'Dancing With the Stars' Instant Dance: How Will Brandy do without music?

brandy-dancing-without-music.jpg
Dominating the "Dancing With the Stars" leader board or three weeks straight, Brandy faces her biggest challenge yet during Week 8 when the competition introduces the "Instant Dance."

For the first time in the series' history, contestants will go into the live performance broadcast knowing only the style of dance they'll be doing -- not the song. Songs choices will be drawn from a hat -- or some other sort of blind receptacle --  just a few moments before the routines are performed.

Obviously, this has got to sting for Brandy, whose musicality has been a huge help to her on the show. After learning of the twist during Tuesday's results, the singer was obviously a bit confused about the challenge -- as all the contestants seem to be -- but not shaken.

Of course, the Instant Dance isn't all the top 5 will take on during the 2-hour broadcast. In this leg of the competition, two dances per show are a given, so each duo will also have a choreographed ballroom performance -- with the music set well in advance.

How do you think the cast will perform with such little lead time on music?

I hope she does well. I'm nervous for all of them. I can't imagine dancing to an unrehearsed song live in front of 22 million people. I think the producers are putting exorbitant expectations on this cast. I know they are living up to the challenges and the fall ratings are higher than ever but this is really asking A L O T.

dumb gimmick.

jennifer grey is a big phoney , whinner- complains about pain, can't do it - injuries - then says things are great , keep on going - - i really hope she doesn't win ..i cant believe the judges don't see thru her - regaining her power indeed - she's playing them - she's just obnoxious

please replace carrie ann on dancing with the stars she demonstrate a dislike for women of color. could it be because she was decline by janet jackson years ago as a dancer so she has to be very critical of black women who can really dance...her praise of britol give me a break

Why is this instant dance? They are showing everyone practicing ahead of time the same type of dance they were practicing the entire week. Looks more like staged otherwise no way why everyone got the music they can actually matched their practice dance to.
