Pure Derek Hough

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.

Seems like a long time ago, but it was only, like, May.  Because Derek is in London doing god knows what and DWTS is on hiatus, you all will have to suffer through selections of my favorite videos and stuff until we get something new. I’ll think of a game for us to play – maybe with prizes – but that could take me a few days and a few beers.

This video starts out as mainly Mark at the beginning, but at the 2:50 mark or so, it becomes worth the wait for Derek.  Love it.  Be sure to watch all the way to end for Derek’s acting (I think) abilities.

Video!

Another pic – thanks Donamadrina!

I think I just found a video that I’ve never seen before! Emily Grace singing lead with Derek backing her up. It pays to be bored. Now if I could just find a whole video of the Jonas Brothers on DWTS where Derek and Mark are dancing with….is it Joe? I’m not a Jonas aficionado. Who’s watching with me on this boring saturday night?

The audio isn’t the best – it’s very difficult to get good audio in this situation.

Different Gig, better audio! (I would swear these videos were removed when they became BHB – thanks to whoever put them back up.)

Ya know, I really like the song, but the problem is that when Derek moves like that I can’t HEAR the song. I get all…distracted and stuff. That’s why buying it on iTunes or Amazon is a good idea. and MP3 download on Amazon.

Here’s the video!!

From the Shawn Johnson Event in Iowa. Sound quality isn’t that good, but Derek is cute walking through the audience. Thanks to Philipe for the heads up, and to maly6287 for posting the video on YouTube!

Phillipe was on the case tonight and found this video of Derek singing with a band in Atlantic City. Lookin’ fine and sounding great!!

ETA:  Joanna on Good Day!!
