'Dancing With The Stars': Nelly goes freestyle, viewers say it was all Daniella and call perfect score 'a joke'
After 11 long weeks of celebrities and their pro-dancer partners taking the ballroom floor to showcase their dance skills, 'Dancing with the Stars' was coming to an end on Monday night. Each finalist was required to do two performances for the evening. After showing off his samba on 'Rhythm of the Night', Nelly took to the stage one last time with his pro-dancer partner Daniella Karagach for a freestyle performance.
Nelly got a perfect 30 from all three judges for his performance but fans watching from home felt that he didn't deserve those scores. "That was boring I was bored how did he mess up a freestyle?!? #DWTS" wrote a fan on Twitter. "I'm a nelly fan but I feel like he really didn't do anything in that freestyle. It was all her, she's phenomenal and he was really good at throwing her around #DWTS" tweeted another.
"Uhhh I know it's the freestyle and all but Nelly's was more like random lifts thrown together that made no sense lol. There was no rhythm flow to it. And the moves themselves didn't make sense. I have said all season that girl does not bring out his potential. #dwts #DWTSFINALE" tweeted a fan.
"As much as I ADORED Daniella's choreography this season, that felt kind of sloppy and didn't really showcase Nelly enough (besides the lifts). That perfect score was a joke. There have been better freestyles (in farther back seasons) that have only gotten 9's. #dwts #dwtsfinale" read another tweet.
"Nelly and Daniella Freestyle Um ngl, I was expecting more from this dance. No dis to Daniella or her choreo, but should've taken more advantage of Nelly's style and swag. Since it's a freestyle, could've had more hip hop Nelly style elements. Overscored tbh #DWTSFINALE #DWTS" said another.

Whether they win or lose, Nelly and Daniella have managed to form a bond that goes beyond 'DWTS'. In a video that played before their final freestyle performance, the two were seen reflecting back at how much they've grown together during the competition and even though they started out as professional partners, they were more like siblings now.
