Your Mama Don't Dance

Jesse Lewis

Age: 21
Location: Los Angeles, CA

Rebecca Lewis (Jesse’s mother)
Location: Birmingham, AL
Age: 51

From the first time Jesse attended a tap-dancing class with his sister, he knew he’d found his calling. Jesse has been dancing for 10 years and is trained in ballet, jazz, tap, modern, hip-hop, musical theater, clogging and break dancing. Jesse dropped out of high school in his sophomore year and headed to New York to pursue dance. Although Jesse has appeared in a Marques Houston music video, and has choreographed for musical artist Syieta, his mom, Rebecca, still wishes her son would get his high-school diploma. Their time on the dance floor might give Jesse the chance to prove to his mom that he made the right decision — or give her the chance to convince her son to go back to school.

Jesse,
I'm your #2 fan. Sorry to missed the last show. I know your family was pretty psyched about the whole thing. I'd say you and your mom looked great out there. Good luck with the opportunities your making for yourself. I sure know your dad is proud. - Your #2 fan, DLH

Jesse; Dude you have great potential for an awesome career. I missed the show this evening (so sad). I just love the way you dance, like poetry in motion (trite sorry). It is so obvious that you become the music, the song and the dance. I still believe your already a Star. Strike now while they still remember your face.
You have a beautiful face and an extremely strong presence. You seem to be a man of high integrity.
If it seems that I'm hitting on you, well not really. You just remind me of someone and I feel compelled to share these things with you. All I'm triing to convey to you is to do it now. Don't wait, It'll pass you by. (and I'm sure you already know this) You seem well prepared. Movies? YES Broadway? Yes I'm positive you already have a plan.
The chances of us meeting are slim to none, but I wish that wasn't true. Lifetime has my e-mail.
In closing all I can say is shoot high and hope to see you in the funny papers.
Best wishes for a happy life. Always your #1 fan Richard
P.S. Dude your smokin,,,,,,smokin hottttttt****

I have voted for you guys everytime you were in the bottom 2. I love the way your relationship comes through on TV-you can't fake that! We started watching the show bc my daughter has Noelle as a dance teacher but we have fallen in love w/you and your mom and the love and effort you guys give every week. Rebecca from one mama to another--YOU ROCK!!! You inspire me to get up and do it and be active in my kids life-Thanks!!! Good luck to you guys and I hope your WHOLE family can be together...

I just got done reading the opening page. omg You poor thing. No one I know thinks those things, Be strong, be proud (as you obviously are ) And when you win the money please take it, America wants you to, you earned it. Best wishes Richard ( I have three sisters and two brothers,14 nephews and nieces. We don't always like each other but we love each other and I feel truely blessed to have them close. I could not imagine being here with out them.)

Jesse - don't listen to all the negative stuff. It's clear that we've got your back and we're proud of you! And by the way I forgot to compliment you on your split leap during the Fame routine. Great job!

Jesse (and family)
Oh my gosh, PLEASE do NOT let one or two idiots with no facts to backup their venomous words get to you now! You have held up great thus far, and the next week or so are too important to you now to let someone looking for attention get to you.
If people are REALLY believing what they say, they would back up their words with actual facts. There will always be those out there that are speaking only because they are jealous, either for your talent or the attention, and are happy with negative attention if that is all they can get. Just feel sorry for them, and move on. Feeding them more (and that includes us and our logs here) is only giving them what they want. You need to focus now, not only on your present goal, but your future and your family. Jesse, you seem to have a very strong family unit, and many friends AND fans that support you. For that you are blessed more than some others are, and maybe that is another reason for the jealousy out there.
Forget them, live your life and dreams to the fullest, and enjoy the time you will have with your family together this week. You deserve it all and more.
With that said, we can not possibly pick one dance team over the other, so we hope ALL the teams reach the rainbow and have all their dreams and happiness come true!
Dance on!!!!!

Jesse, Holy smokes you were right on. And your Mom was awesome. I agree with alot of the comments on the opening page, Its seems the judges already have there choices made for what ever reason. I did not agree with the point system given and not just because you and your Mom have become my favorites. You deserved ratings in the high 90's. I'm kind of wondering what direction you are going, Jesse studios, movies, broadway. Dude you have it all. Best wishes Richard

Jesse, if you win this, you need to make your MOM proud and
get your butt back in school.Or at lease get your GED.
You know you can't dance forever.
We here in Georgia are pulling for you and your mom.
I can't believe you guys are in the bottom this week.
This week was the best yet, your Mom looked like she was really enjoying her self. and you are just GREAT.
I think the judging this week was really strange.
Some got marks that was way too high.I think the judges read some blogs, with people pulling the race card.Now they think they can score them high( witch isn't fair for the others).Don't get me wrong Eric & Brooke were good, but not
that good.
Keep your head high, and you all keep on dancing.
Hope you make it in the next round.

A fan in GEORGIA

this so called rabbit could be the easter bunny. Although, I do remember Mr. Albritton killing the easter bunny. Milk was a bad choice.

Arthur,

That rabbit you saw was a genetic mutation. There's no other way to explain it's freakinsh size and almost human qualities on it's face.

Becky, There's a fair size rabbit under the bird feeder and Spot wants it. Max could care less. Nothing near the size of the monster we saw at your place Josh. Hope you get to come down and see the show next week.
Jesse, Feed her some chicken soup. It will make her feel better.
