Two Articles

Hey! Here are two SYTYCD articles .. enjoy: http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/entertainment/1159
(There are three pages by the way). And here's what Donny said in an article:
DONYELLE JONES, 26 Hometown Studio City, CA Training Hip hop and jazz, some ballet, modern, tap, and musical theater. Hardest genre? When I was learning the cha-cha, Dmitry [Chaplin] was helping me practice and he'd be like, "No, no, you're doing salsa arms! It's different for cha-cha." Nerves: I start freaking out when they call my name, and then for the first 10 seconds I feel like I'm going to throw up. How do you deal with the pressure? I pray a lot, like 20-30 times a day. Toughest moment? Mia wanted to send me home after Vegas. Rough spot: I lost five to seven jobs last year because of my weight, and I lost my motivation. I hadn't danced for five months before I auditioned for the show. The Vegas audition gave me the push I needed to get back in class. Advice: If you're going to do it, don't do it halfway.
We love you, Donyelle! :D
