"Dancing With The Stars" Down To The Wire
Four dancers, three dances each and a total of 90 possible points per dancer added up to a two-hour semifinal Monday night on "Dancing With the Star."
Singing star Mya continued to dominate on the dance floor, earning another perfect score of 30 for a high-energy salsa that judge Bruno Tonioli called "sensational ." She also scored well, but not perfectly, on a waltz and a cha cha cha. Her combined total was 87 points.

Also again, entertainer Donny Osmond had the lowest score - a total of 74. He kicked off this week's competition on the wrong foot with a tango that was full of missteps that he jokingly blamed on spotting his sister, Marie in the audience. That dance also had a wardrobe malfunction; the hem of his partner's black and gold gown was trailing on the dance floor.
Osmond didn't need the judges to tell him what went wrong; his expression as he faced the firing line said it all.
Osmond redeemed himself with a samba and sparkly jitterbug that led judge Carrie Ann Inaba to proclaim that he had gotten back his "mojo."
Model Joanna Krupa's first dance was a Viennese waltz which Tonioli said was angelic, followed by a cha cha cha that judge Len Goodman called "clean and crisp." After her final dance, a sensual salsa, Inaba said she would like to see Krupa in the finals. The model's final score was 81.
Entertainer Kelly Osbourne continued to surprise the judges. Her opening rumba brought Inaba to tears and her quickstep led Tonioli to comparisons with Speedy Gonzales. She ended the night with a cha cha cha and a score of 78.
One of the dancers will be eliminated tonight in a results show that will also feature performances by Leona Lewis and Alicia Keys.
The finale is next week when one of the three remaining dancers will go home with the mirrorball trophy.
