What did you mean by that?
Might it change how you look at things going forward?

CARRIE ANN INABA:I think Harry did a great job for someone who had zero performance background.
I appreciate when someone tries to do something completely outside their comfort zone.

You’re still looking for that extra oomph from Charity Lawson.
Jason Mraz, Daniella Karagach.ABC/Disney
What do you think it’s going to take to pull it out of her?
It seems mostly to be an acting challenge.
Charity performs Artem [Chigvintsev]s choreography with outstanding precision and control.
I believe this comes from her cheerleading background.
But precision and control dont ignite an audience the way passion, commitment, or personality does.
I wouldnt call it acting.
Although the best actors are never acting, they are just fully engaged and free in the moment.
And thats what Im looking for.
I have faith that she can do it.
So Im going to keep encouraging her as I didlast season with Charli DAmelio.
You told Xochitl Gomez, “You are the most animated and enthusiastic performer we have ever had.”
Why do you think that is?
Xochitl has a unique quality to her performances.
Theres a youthful enthusiasm to her performances that is so refreshing!
Whats remarkable about Xochitl is that she is also quite mature in the quality of movement.
She makes it look effortless, but its not.
It takes hard work, and lots of it, to do what shes doing.

What made theJason Mraz/Daniella Karagach and Charity/Artem relay the most competitive of the night for you?
First of all, congratulations to Jason for making such a wonderful comeback with his Argentine Tango last night.
It was such a powerful moment in the ballroom.
He had flair and nuance and he stepped into his true power as a performer.
