Pure Derek Hough

Derek, Julianne and Mark as kids – cute. I predict next year at this time, we will be hearing about DEREK Hough the triple threat, not just Julianne.

Here’s a little compilation video of BHB from 2009 that was recently uploaded to YouTube by Tanyap03. I think I’m starting to like the short hair better than the long hair. Shocking, I know.

He tweets, therefore he lives!!  :-)  Since he tweeted before 4 am LA time, I’m assuming all our previous assumptions were correct. Then there’s that tweet about the airport earlier – but don’t know if that’s real or not.

ANYWAY, Alexa sent me this video that has Derek and Jennifer at the very end – I don’t recall seeing it or posting it before, although my memory sucks.  Be prepared for a lot of Maks, before you get the hot blond.

Been watchin’ some stuff…

Ahhh…Derek’s Music video that he created with the Cast of DWTS Season 8, along with girlfriends, wives and assorted Kardashians. Love it. I miss BHB.

He sings…and he’s extremely goofy.

Don’t care for the hat, but love the singing.

Hee – forgets the words but so good. Great voice – wish he would do his own album.

Anyone who’s followed BHB, knows the Brits and that they’ve been talking about a “secret project” for some time now. Well, Emily posted it earlier and it’s VERY good – loved it. See below. If you want to follow the Brits on twitter to find out what they’re up to now, Emily is @emilygraceUK, Sam (I’m cheating on Derek with him ) is @Sam_Marder_BHB and Harry is @HarrySullivanBHB – for new fans, Harry’s the really tall one.

Fourth Place goes to….The Ballas Hough Band at the Grove from last spring. Hyper Derek who can sing and dance….often at the same time. (Anyone recognize that quote? )

This first one is one of my favorites too, although Derek doesn’t sing much. His dancing is just amazing. Mark may win the rapping, but Derek takes the dancing EVERY time.

Couldn’t figure out why this one was picked until about the 2 minute mark. LOL Yep, one of my favorites too. Shirtless with black calvins. Goodness.

This one only got one vote but I love it and hadn’t seen it in a long time.

This seems like a million years ago – so much has happened since then!!

He would be huge in Country Music. Seriously.

Love self-deprecating Derek – and he out dances Mark every time I see this video.

Early in the Grove Series, when Derek still played guitar a lot –

Later in the series when Derek became the all around performer –

Ya know, if they guy wasn’t so freakin’ cute I would be very jealous of all the talent.  Yes, he dances, he sings, he acts, he’s an artist…and he directs music videos. He did one for BHB and he just did one for Mark yesterday. Mark tweeted a picture:

And let’s not forget his directorial debut:

ETA: And Derek tweets two pictures right after I go to bed last night. Behind the scenes of Mark’s video – Derek at work (nice…Jeans, Derek):

…that Derek Hough is a great singer and should really consider some solo singing projects of his own.  Thanks, Dee, for reminding me that these were out there – this first video in particular showcases how strong, clear and on pitch Derek’s voice is.  Best live vocals in that band – but then I AM biased.  Nicknack109 is the awesome videographer. These have probably been posted here before, but sometimes it’s nice to look back.

And here’s another one. Mark, that shriek you do on “I hooopppe….” while great for the sound of the song will shred your voice before you’re 30. I hope you don’t continue that little trick. Derek – HOT STUFF, baby.

I just wanted to congratulate everyone on working so hard and voting Derek into the top 25 on that little Mr. Twitter contest. Keep up the good work!! Here’s the link for those who have NO idea what I’m talking about. Mr. Twitter December – Derek is currently at number 21.

Since we are in the feast or famine days between seasons – and this is clearly a famine day – I thought I would post a little BHB video that you don’t even need sound for in order to get maximum enjoyment. As I was saying on Twitter – some of the SYTYCD’ers could take some notes from these HIPS.

…for some of you, maybe, but not for me. I don’t think I saw this video at the time it occurred. It’s an AOL video of Mark and Derek from last winter when they were touring with DWTS and BHB. For some reason, they are auto playing – hit pause on the one you’re not watching.
