Ashley Hamilton and Macy Gray Done 'Dancing'
The actor and Grammy Award-winning singer are the first to get booted.
Sept. 23, 2009— -- Actor Ashley Hamilton and singer Macy Gray were the first dancers voted off "Dancing With the Stars" tonight.
The judges found Hamilton's foxtrot lackluster, giving him some of the night's lowest marks.
While the others tried to be kind to the son of actor and one-time contestant George Hamilton, judge Bruno Tonioli remarked that Hamilton had "a total lack of showmanship."
Grammy Award winner Gray looked awkward and ill-prepared during her Viennese waltz.
Watch Ashley Hamilton and Macy Gray live on "Good Morning America" Thursday.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said Gray's dancing was "beautiful in its own bizarre way." Still, the chanteuse received low scores from the judges.
The ninth season of "Dancing With the Stars" began this week with a live three-night event.
On Monday night, the male contestants gave their first performances, followed by the female contestants Tuesday night.
Aaron Carter and Donny Osmond led the way among the male performances, but all eyes were on former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
"My biggest fear is I might embarrass myself," DeLay said during rehearsals.
He and partner Cheryl Burke -- a two-time "DWTS" champion who said she didn't know who DeLay was and had to Google him -- danced their cha cha to the song "Wild Thing."
Tonioli said DeLay, who lip synced along with the song and wore a sequined vest, was "crazier than Sarah Palin."
"The little cha cha cha you did was not bad," he added.
"I've got bigger critics than those judges," DeLay said after his performance.
Among the female contestants on Tuesday's Ladies Night, model Joanna Krupa finished in first place based on the judges' scores. She was followed by Kelly Osbourne, who surprised many by coming in second. Proud parents Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne were in the audience.
