Wow what a hot line up this year for Dancing With The Stars! Its really hard to pick a winner and I for one will be watching to see how the stars do this year. My favorite has to be R&B singer Brandy as she has experience of performing and dancing on stage already and so this gives her an added advantage. Also you can see from Brandys music videos and concerts that shes a great peformer so shes my tip for the winner of Dancing With The Stars this year.
