The 21-year-old singer, the youngest contestant on Dancing With the Stars to date, was eliminated from the show Tuesday despite landing in the middle of the pack after last night's ballroom-Latin double feature.
"I've had a great time performing on the show. I had a great partner," Mario said, making sure to give props to pal Karina Smirnoff, as well as a shout-out to "the real brave ones"—the U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East.
"Len, thank you for all your comments," he said graciously to the man who yesterday told him he had "bloody big, ugly" feet. "Ultimately, you helped me become a better ballroom dancer."
The real victory here is that a very decided R&B singer has exposed himself to an entirely new (nee white) audience. This should bode well for his career.
