I’m Excited For Dancing With The Stars’ Disney Night, But I Have A Major Bone To Pick With A Couple Of The Song Choices

I'm Excited For Dancing With The Stars’ Disney Night, But I Have A Major Bone To Pick With A Couple Of The Song Choices

As a lifelong Disney enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical world of Mickey Mouse, I find myself both excited and dismayed by the song choices for Disney Night on Dancing with the Stars this season. On one hand, I’m thrilled to see Ilona Maher bring “Surface Pressure” from Encanto to life, and Owl City’s “When Can I See You Again?” is a personal favorite that always transports me back to the enchanting nights at Disneyland.


In my role as a Disney enthusiast at TopMob, I’m captivated by almost everything that comes from Disney. Whenever I have the chance, I go to Disney Parks, and my Disney+ subscription sees the most action among all services. Also, I often play Disney tunes while working on content for the site. Although I don’t usually watch Dancing With the Stars, I do occasionally make an exception when they feature their special Disney Night episodes where every performance is set to Disney music.

Next week brings us Disney Night on Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars,” and the full lineup of dances for each contestant has just been revealed!

I’m really looking forward to watching U.S. Rugby player Ilona Maher perform “Surface Pressure” from Encanto, and being a fan of Wreck-It Ralph and the upcoming Paint the Night Parade at Disneyland, Owl City’s “When Can I See You Again?” is one of my favorite tunes. Yet, I have some reservations about a few of the chosen songs in the mix.

“Bye Bye Bye” Is Not A Disney Song, I Don’t Care If It Was In A Marvel Movie

Kick-off with the duo formed by former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola and dancer Witney Carson, who will be showcasing a Jazz routine set to the tune of NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye.” I trust it goes without saying why this combination seems amiss.

I'm Excited For Dancing With The Stars’ Disney Night, But I Have A Major Bone To Pick With A Couple Of The Song Choices

Following the surprising rise of a contestant on Dancing With The Stars during Dedication Night who’s now a top contender to win, they’ve become my favorite to take home the grand prize.

Yes, the song “Bye Bye Bye” was played during the opening credits of Deadpool & Wolverine. Some people are calling it a “Disney song,” but I believe that it should only be considered as such if it was written for or first appeared in a Disney production, specifically Marvel movies. I don’t have an issue with songs from Marvel films being included, but there should be some consistency in the definition of what qualifies as a “Disney song.

The song ‘Bye Bye Bye’ was released 24 years before the debut of Deadpool and Wolverine, meaning it predates them significantly. Simply because the track appears in certain instances doesn’t make it a Disney tune. This seems to contradict the essence of the theme. In this line of reasoning, any song featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy films could be considered for Disney Night. But if everyone chose songs from those movies, it wouldn’t be a night of Disney music; instead, it would be an evening of dancing to ’70s pop.

frankly speaking, an “Awesome Mix Night” on Dancing with the Stars seems quite appealing, however, until such an event occurs, let’s disregard it. Nonsense is what I perceive in “Bye Bye Bye.” It doesn’t have that Disney charm.

A Star Of Zombies 2 Dancing To A Song From Zombies 2 Is Clearly An Unfair Advantage

Although I find it bothersome when they use a popular song from a recent Marvel soundtrack, I believe the selection made by Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong could be an even more questionable choice.

In case you’re unaware, Kinney is an actress who has made her mark, particularly in the Disney Channel’s hit musical series, the Zombies franchise. She first appeared in Zombies 2 and will soon perform the song “We Own the Night,” which she sings in the movie, on the upcoming episode of Dancing with the Stars.

As a devoted fan, I acknowledge that Kinney and her partner have chosen the passionate Pasodoble for their routine – a lively military-inspired dance style not seen in the Disney Channel movie. Yet, what sets Kinney apart is her deep connection with this song, having danced to it before. This familiarity surpasses anything that her competitors might know about their respective choices.

Also dancing to your own song is a weird sort of flex isn’t it?

To put it simply, there are plenty of other Disney tunes available, and it seems likely that either team could have chosen something just as fitting from the vast pool of options.

Although I might feel a bit irritated by the selection of songs during the show on Tuesday evening, I’ll definitely make time to watch it when it broadcasts simultaneously on ABC and Disney+, airing at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on their schedules for 2024.
