Tracy Austin
When I was 11, I won my first nationals at Savannah, defeating Kelly Henry in the finals.
2
Gary Barlow
We are constantly reminding them that they are in a competition. I had a word with all my contestants and I know Kelly Rowland had a word with hers. It's reality check time.
3
Kylie Bax
I don't admire one particular style, but for evening events, I always look to Grace Kelly for inspiration.
4
Jamie Bell
I love the old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly movies; they're so beautiful to look at. It's such a shame we don't make them anymore. Although, I don't know how you could make tap dancing current and topical.
5
Daniel Berrigan
We have one of our priests in prison right now, Steve Kelly, for his antiwar actions, and three of us in the community are forbidden to visit him because we're all convicted felons.
6
Matthew Bourne
Astaire never thought of what he was doing as balletic, but Kelly was always trying to dance with women on points. And his choreography is so showy and flashy. He always looks self-satisfied to me.
7
Chris Burke
I was like Gene Kelly, it was called singing in the rain. No seriously, I wasn't really born with a singing voice, but my friends Joe and John taught me how to sing.
8
Kacy Catanzaro
My pump-up songs before I compete are not the usual. They're more girly songs. I love 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus. It's about the journey and savoring every moment. I have 'The World's Greatest' by R. Kelly on my playlist, too.
9
Kaley Cuoco
I love all music. Right now I am loving Josh Grobin and Kelly Clarkson.
10
Charlene, Princess of Monaco
Grace Kelly forged a link between Monaco and the movie world, and I would like to create a strong bond between Monaco and the fashion community.
