Stevie Wonder Wants to ‘Dance with the Stars’

December 16th, 2008

Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder has seldom let his blindness hold him back.  In fact, the musical genius has made fun of being sightless on a number of occasions. Now, Stevie wants to show that blindness doesn’t necessary translate to clumsiness as he hopes to join the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars.

Keep in mind that, he won’t be the first star contestant to join the show who is physically impaired. In the past, the show has featured deaf actress Marley Matlin and amputee Heather Mills.

According to the New York Daily News, Stevie said during a radio interview: “You’ve got to think. If I have 7 children, I’ve got to be able to dance right?”

OK, fair enough. You can also chalk up all those funky classics such as “I Wish,” “Do I Do” and “Master Blaster (Jammin’)” as evidence of Stevie’s rhythmic acumen. [Side note: Stevie also played drums on a lot of his signature tunes]. So I’m rooting for Stevie’s chance to “dance with the stars.”

What about you? Do you think he’ll make the cut? And if so, do you think that he’ll embarrass himself or pull off another genius move?

I’m sure he will do very well. I wish him the best. For the the other comment that was made by LYNN. If you don’t have anything good to say then just keep your mouth shut.

GOOD LUCK ! STEVIE!

The man wrote produced and sang Songs in the key of life along with countless other albums that to this day still inspires. Dancing with the stars will just be a reminder to some how talented this man really is.

This would be awesome to watch. Stevie Wonder’s got rhythm and it would be nice to see what his partner could work up when dealing with someone who is blind. I would hope hte judges wouldn’t be partial though because of it.
