Gladys Knight Hits The Motown Mark
More than any other star, The Empress of Soul, Gladys Knight, felt the pressure to wow during this week’s Motown challenge. For her routine, Gladys and her partner, Tristan MacManunus, danced a rumba to the sounds of The Temptation’s “My Girl.” Though the pair even had help from the original Pip, her brother, Bubba, the routine got off to a slow start and was marred by technical flaws. The judges remarked that Gladys isn’t the best dancer, though she is the most charismatic and the one who most embodied the Motown soul. However, her praise didn’t translate into high marks and she once again ended up at the bottom of the leaderboard with a score of 21.
