Marie Fights Back at Maks

Yesterday, Maksim Chmerkovskiy told "Extra" that Marie Osmond doesn't deserve to be in the finals, insisting, "Frankly, I think there were a lot of other people better than Marie."

Now Marie is speaking out about Maks' harsh comments, telling "Extra" backstage after her "Dancing" performance last night, "I think ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ when I signed on for this, was about non-dancers becoming dancers. And it’s about improvement!”

I only have one thing to say for Max.
SORE LOSER

I have never seen a man so full of himself.

donnie definitley should not have been allowed to be a correspondent for et. everyday they had some new item about donnie and marie. also donnie was very vocal about the fact that sabrina should not be on the show because she is a dancer. they had a caption at one point that said “cheetah girl a cheater?” anybody who watches shows such as so you think you can dance or dtws knows that hip hop and ballroom are two completely different styles of dancing and can be difficult to learn the other style when you are trained in your field for so long

I can’t beleive Maks comments about Marie. Marie lost her father, her son went into rehab & she fainted on live T.V. Yes, everyone goes through stuff BUT to compare Mel’s son having CHICKEN POX for two weeks DOES NOT compare to losing one’s parent or dealing with a child’s problems. Give her a break, people are hating her because she is an OSMOND……

Maks sucks the BIG ONE! He and Bruno should be “BUNK BUDDIES” He’s nothing but a wanna-be celebrity and a Communist Russian! There, I said what my girl Marie wanted to say, but she’s so polite. Me, I would have torn the B———‘s head off and handed it to him. AAAAHHHH, I feel so much better!

I totally agree with Maks. He is speaking for me and and I believe for everyone out there. He is honest. Sometimes the truth hurts but you have to accept it. I love Mel and Maks and they do really deserve to be in the finals and too sad they didn’t win but in my hart and mind they area already winners.

the show is suppose to be featuring non dancers and pro dancers..people especially the judges seem to forget that….so unless you think you could do all the steps and face the judges harsh remarks…shut the hell up…..

I’m deeply disappointed in Marie’s poor sportmanship. She is a talented performer but NOT a talented dancer nor did I see any real improvement in her dancing. I’m happy her fans kept her in the show but did feel based soley on her dancing skills that it lasted too long. Had she placed ahead of Mel B or Helio it would have been very unjust. She should know how to lose with more grace. My opinion of her has definately gone down.

Wow, I must have missed something. Marie wasn’t the only one that lost a parent during the show. The English actress lost her mom and she talked about it and dedicated a dance to her mom just like Marie dedicated a dance for her father. I didn’t think for one second Marie was working PR moves to get votes. I think that is just ridiculous. I really enjoyed watching her and I voted for her and I am a lot younger than her. It just wasn’t people in her age group voting for her. I would agree there were better dancers than she was but every season it is the same thing. The most popular with a big fan base get most of the votes. It is what it is.

It’s unfortunate that Maks is taking all the heat for voicing an opinion, an opinion which I’m sure alot of people can agree with and were afraid to express. It doesn’t take a genius to know who deserves be be at top two of the finals. Don’t get me wrong… Marie has shown alot of improvement and and has character, however, it’s not enough to get to the final two. Marie has gone through alot during this season: from the passing of her father to the rehabilitation of her son, however, I do believe that Marie has the sympathy vote from everyone. This is where I agree with Maks… everyone person in this season has problems that they are dealing with, however, they don’t showcase it the way Marie does. It’s unfortunate what Marie has gone through, however, there is no need to inform the whole world about it. Another thing… Marie has continued to complain about competitors who are already dancers. However, what she needs to understand is that, as much of a dancer as one is, Ballroom is a different element of dance that even a great hip hop dancer can’t easily excel on.

Marie…here’s a tip…your dolls are CREEPY!

Gotta side with Maks on this one. Marie didn’t dance her way into the finale. She PR’d her way into the finale and Maks being the only one to speak the truth makes me respect him. If the judges weren’t going to stop the Osmond Juggernaut, someone had to stand up and remind people it’s about dancing and fun, not campaigning like you’re running for class president in high school. I hope in the future we see people vote on the dancing so we can have three good freestyle routines. Sabrina or Jennie should have been there instead of Marie.

I’m glad the judges came down on her. The free style dance was awful. She looked like a babydoll gone mad. I hope she gets cut tonight.

Marie is right- this show is for people who want to become dancers and improve.

WELL MARIE HASNT IMPROVED!!! SHE SUCKS!!
Maks was asked a question and he told the truth. He thinks this along with all of the judges and all of the people that should be on the show in Marie’s place!!!!

She really seems like a nice person- but im sorry- SHE CANT DANCE!

Yah Maks looks a little shady- but really, he told the truth!

Stop bashing Maks- he is a great guy and a terrific dancer- he knows choreography and can seperate a dancer from the crowd. Sorry that Marie doesnt fit that.

Maksim is a wanna be famous person. He puts too much importance upon himself. He thinks he is so sexy when he is such a turn off with his attitude. Maries Osmond has class, wit, personality and know how to entertain. Thats what people are voting on. The ability to entertain and Marie has it in spades. Especially in comparison to the Spice Girl Chic.

What is this red states versus blue states all over again? MARIE IS NOT A GOOD DANCER. Jennie, Cameron, and Jane ALL danced better than Marie — she’s riding a PR blitz she herself prompted to garner votes. Tell Marie it’s about DANCE not self-aggrandizement — and tell her bro too.
MAKS SPEAKETH ONLY THE TRUTH, MARIE!!!

I think Marie has lots of charisma and a great smile. She’s out there to have fun and it shows. That’s what is getting her votes. It’s not just the dancing, but the whole package that picks a winner. Some people make rude, nasty remarks under the pretense of being honest, but they are just looking for an excuse to let out their ugliness and jealousy on an innocent bystander. The world has turned into an ugly place, where people can’t see the beauty in people just being creative in their own beautiful way. Nothing is perfect, least of all, the ugly people making ugly comments. Dancing is fun yall! Did some of us forget?

PUH LEASE People…Marie is the first to dish it out and she can’t take it. Maks said nothing but the truth and Bravo for him. If Marie wins this, you can bet DWTS will change the way votes are tabulated. What a joke. And that doll dance? I’ll need therapy after seeing her crotch around Johnathan’s neck. Say Buh Bye to YOUR career Johnny.

Maks had every right to voice his opinion. We all know Marie doesn’t deserve to be there, and that Jennie and Sabrina were jipped.

Marie and her brother really have misused the media during the competition. Her brother should not have been allowed to comment on all the dancers in any TV programs while his sister still is on the show. He is judging the other competitors in a very unprofessionel way. What does he even know about dancing!! It has been embarrassing to watch. She should have gone a long time ago.

Americans!!! Marie was chosen by votes to be in the finals (SHE PlAYED BY THE RULES) and has a strong support system. And if she wins the ballroom trophy by fans votes, SHE DESERVES IT!!! :) Dancing With The Stars is a show for entertaining the public. Dont’ MAKE A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL!!!
