“Dancing with the Stars”, the desire to perform counts more than talent ​​

Despite the controversies, the votes of the jury, the reasons for the votes, the comments of the commentators, the presence of Alberto Matano at the height is unknown; despite a cast full of entertainment personalities, from Lino Banfi to Ricky Tognazzi, from Antonio Caprarica to Wanda Nara; Despite the skill of the dancers, “Dancing with the Stars” has nothing like the Saturday night variety show on Rai1. It feels like “Island of the Famous” at dance tempo, an opportunity to get another round of applause when you’re on the edge of the scene (that’s why “Dance” makes me sad, it always reminds me of “Luci”) della Limelight ” by Charlie Chaplin, with Calvero joining the orchestra and, disappearing behind the scenes, attending a dance number by Terry to the tune of “Eternally”.)

When I follow the program, I am repeatedly struck by the determination of Milly Carlucci, the Maria De Filippi who can afford Rai (but maybe I have already written that): behind her printed smile there is a hard and opaque will, it to want performance. And many of the competitors are fascinated by it: they believe that their irrepressible desire to perform could be mistaken for talent, or at least intelligence. When presenting the characters before their appearance, the focus is on the mind rather than the body.

Just as I am struck by the fact that “Ballando” is one of those shows where everyone knows everyone (in truth, this is the spirit that animates almost all Italian television), there is Paola Perego hosting a mediocre show with Simona Ventura , both present. Ventura also brought her husband or boyfriend with her, but now a certain Mariotto says he is embarrassed because he is part of Perego’s husband’s team.

It’s all like this: there’s also Rocco Siffredi’s son, who tries to explain the educational benefits of porn; There’s Ricky Tognazzi, who always seems to be running away from someone or something. Luckily there’s Lino Banfi who gives a little lesson on the difference between professionals and amateurs. Amateurs (in this case of dance) have something great: they know no pleasure, only the greed with which they manage their meager dancing powers.
