Robert Irwin's 'Wicked' Performance: Why Fans Are Furious (2025)

Robert Irwin's 'Wicked' performance on Dancing With The Stars sparks debate among fans.

The young star's rendition of 'Dancing Through Life' from the musical Wicked has divided opinions, with some fans questioning the judges' scores.

Irwin's performance, alongside partner Witney Carson, showcased his dance skills and charisma, earning praise from many viewers.

One fan exclaimed, 'He was so goooooood!', while others called him 'iconic' and urged others to vote for him.

However, the judges' feedback was less favorable, awarding him a total score of 36 out of 40, which some fans found disappointing.

On social media, the outrage was palpable. Some users felt that Irwin's performance was as good as Jonathan Bailey's iconic portrayal in the movie adaptation, and that he deserved a perfect score.

'Robert Irwin robbed AGAIN like that was literally Jonathan Bailey,' one person wrote, highlighting the perceived unfairness.

Another fan agreed, asking the question on many viewers' minds: 'What does Robert Irwin have to do to get at least one 10?'

This isn't the first time Irwin's performances have sparked controversy. Last week, he dedicated his dance to his mother, Terri, and Phil Collins' 'You'll Be In My Heart', which also failed to earn a perfect score.

The week before, his saucy salsa routine, which included a shirt-ripping moment, received a modest score of 22 out of 30.

With his Magic Mike-inspired showstopper, emotional tribute, and Broadway attempt, some fans are left wondering what more Irwin can do to impress the judges. Perhaps a live snake performance is the next step?

The debate continues as fans eagerly await Irwin's next move, hoping for a score that reflects his talent and dedication.
