BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 32 celebrity dancer Alyson Hannigan and her pro partner Sasha Farber recently graced the stage with their stirring performance on Whitney Houston's hit song 'Greatest Love of All'.

Alyson and Sasha's performance received praise from the judges as Bruno Tonioli commented, "simple, effective, and deeply true" and said he saw a different side of her.

Meanwhile, Carrie Ann Inaba dubbed the performance 'beautiful'.

Derek Hough noted that the performance was just so engaging. Meanwhile, Billy Porter said the dance was fabulous.

Alyson and Sasha received a total score of 33. However, the 'DWTS' viewers slammed the judges for not giving Alyson a 'perfect score'.

A social media user tweeted, "Alyson deserved her 9 for her obvious growth. That was a different person tonight #dwts thanks Billy." Another person added, "The judges giving Alyson 8s when that was a 10/10 performance…"

Another critic said, "Alyson, ‘Greatest Love of All’ is my favorite Whitney Houston song of all time, and you danced beautifully and emotionally to it. You deserved more 9s! Well done!" Another viewer wrote, "@officialdwts judges cheated Alyson on their votes! She should’ve gotten a 10 across the board!"

Another viewer shared, "Alyson deserved higher scores. 💔 Her performance was beautiful and touched us all. Isn't that a function of art? To touch the soul? And if the judges were looking for technique, how did Harry get only 1 point less than Alyson?"

Alyson Hannigan comments on her 'DWTS' low scores

'DWTS' Season 32 celebrity dancer Alyson Hannigan has been in the bottom two quite a few times this season. However, she recently got candid about her score and her chances of winning the dance competition.

In a recent interview with TheWrap, Alyson shared, "I know I’m not the best dancer. I’m never going to be the best dancer." Alyson further noted that she would not let scores in the 4, 5, and 6 range get her down.

Alyson elaborated, "I'm not really putting my energy and focus on that. I listen to the judges’ advice, and I try to bring that to the next dance and I really work my hardest, but it certainly doesn’t come naturally to me."

She further noted, "I can’t be in it for the scores. I’m never going to see a 10. I’m OK, I’ve accepted that."
