Lil Kim DWTS Profile and Recaps

Posted by Stiletto Jen On April - 20 - 2009 2,672 views

From the moment I heard that the Notorious Lil Kim was going to be on Season 8, I couldn’t wait for it to start! Love her! Besides, it totally begged the question of what kind of outfits we would see!

I can’t tell you how many times we listed to her albums in college. But as much as I loved her, I always wished we could see her without the whole hardcore edge. She is such a pretty girl but it’s hard to call her that considering she was the biggest X-rated non-porn star celebrity around! Face it, you have to be really careful letting your kids search for “Lil Kim dwts” on Google and Google Images because you really don’t know what you are going to get.

So I was really happy to see her enter a ballroom competition where we would get to see her in pretty flowing gowns looking like a lady.

Oh, and of course, dedicating her first dance to all her girls in the Federal Detention Center as if she had just gone on holiday there, not served actual time in prison. Like I said, Love her!

Kim shaking like a pepper shaker!

Recaps!

Week 9 Latin–Salsa + indiv. solo: Len said something about eating his pickled walnuts if Lil Kim couldn’t handle the Salsa because she already has “junk in the trunk with her bionic booty!” There is so much disturbing in that sentence! She definitely came out shaking like a hot pepper shaker! Bruno: “you spin my head right round, right round, right round when you go down.” And then Len said she got along with Salsa like “spotted dick and custard.” Thankfully I have a wonderful British lady friend who had already told me all about spotted dick before.
I liked it, I didn’t love it. I agree with Carrie-Ann that it was a bit wild at times. I also didn’t see a lot of amazing choreography, just shaking. Unfortunately, the audience agreed. Kim was voted off the next night, much to the shock of well….everyone. People actually kept Ty Murray over her. Go figure.
- Scores: 9-9-9 = 27
- Total for the night: 52/60

Week 9 Ballroom- Waltz: “When I Need You” Serene and simply stunning! Derek was worried because slow dances are not Kim’s forte. She is so much better when she can let loose and shake it up a bit. But, Len was shocked with the quality of the dance because it was so breathtakingly beautiful and classic ballroom. Bruno said “you are trying to be a lady but you are more comfortable being a tramp!” I completely disagree. I thought she looks classy and elegant and her movements were like liquid. Yes, she had a stumble or two but it barely registered in my mind because I was totally captivated by her.
- Scores: 8-9-8 = 25

Week 8 Paso Doble: I don’t know why, but I was actually a little bored with this Paso. It was good and it had fire but I was left wanting more. I really can’t put my finger on what was missing: there were sparkles, swirly gown, great footwork, powerful moves, and passion. Should have been loving every minute but it felt flat. Go figure.
- Scores: 9-9-10= 28
- Team Tango: “Womanizer” Even with her missteps towards the very end of her solo with Derek, I still think Kim’s group Tango performance had more drama, fire and passion and POW! then her Paso. Really loved how she worked it.
  - Total Scores: 9-9-10: 28 WINNERS of the Team Tango vs. Team Mambo competition.
- Total Score for the night: 56

- Week 7 Rumba: “Lost Without You” Robin Thicke. All those who have been looking forward to this week all season say “me!” Me!ME!Me!ME! I mean come on, the Rumba and Lil Kim are like made for each other! It’s the sexiest, sultriest dance of them all and the hottest, raunchiest star the show has ever had. Plus, this week she was going to be designing the costumes. Match made in heaven and guaranteed to steam windows.
  - Scores: 9-8-9 = 26
Only it really didn’t at all! Technically it was great. But there was no fire. No heat. No va-va-va-voom hip action that she is known for! Hello, I think the defintion of rumba is “hip action” and there wasn’t much! The dress was super pretty though and so not what I expected her to make. But the routine fell flat for me and the judges agreed. Bruno said “taking the raunch out of Lil Kim is like having a margarita without the tequila” and I 100% agree!

- Week 6 Jive: “Jailhouse Rock” Elvis. This was even better then when she dedicated her first dance to her girls in the State Pen! Such a unique take to the jive and it was so much fun to watch! Derek’s choregraphy just keeps getting better as the weeks go on! Carrie-Ann gave standing O and screams!
  - Scores: 10-8-10 = 28 Top of the night!
  - watch the video on YouTube
- Week 5 Viennese Waltz: “I’ll Be” Edwin McCain. Who knew she could be so feminine and pretty? Okay, one, I’m a sucker for waltzes in pretty, frothy pink dresses. Two, I adore that song and have for years. The rise and fall of the music made a perfect backdrop to the dance. And Kim just looked so ethereal and soft. Carrie-Ann talked about Derek and Kim complementing each other and working so well together and they really do. Bruno said she somehow made a Viennese Waltz sassy and sultry and she did but in a very understated way. She made me want to get off the couch and sign up for dance lessons so I could look like her!
  - Scores: 9-8-9 = 26
  - watch the video on YouTube
- Week 4 Argentine Tango: Very hard, rough and nasty! Loved it! For someone that didn’t know much about an Argentine Tango before, Derek certainly choreographed a wonderful dance. Kim looked classy and elegant while keeping up a rough exterior—and never looked all ghetto-fab. There was so much passion, drama and suspense I needed a big glass of water when it was over! The footwork and lifts were really slick too! Great job and my favorite of hers so far!
  - Scores: 9-8-10 = 27. It was the first 10 of the season!
  - watch the video on YouTube
- Week 3 Samba: Plenty of hip shaking, saucy fun! Really loved seeing her personality shine through in this performance. You could see that she totally wanted to busy out and get even nastier! Love her!
  - Score: 8-8-9 = 25
  - watch the video on YouTube
- Week 2 Quickstep: “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” I defitely think she pulled off the elegant and refined look that she was trying to prove. Very classy dance and they really worked the floor with the steps too! The only thing I didn’t like is that most of the time she was dancing with her mouth gaping open which I found very distracting.
  - Scores 8-7-8 =23
  - watch the video on YouTube
- Week 1 Cha-Cha-Cha: “Nasty” I think it was a great Week 1 performance. I just really wish she had the Cha-cha a little bit later in the season because I think she could totally kick ass with this dance, just not right off the bat. There were some sections that really popped but others that kinda fizzled
  - Scores: 7-7-7 = 21
