AceShowbiz - The remaining four pairs of "Dancing with the Stars" season 4 were competing for the three spots in the finals on Monday, May 11. In the first part of the semifinals, each pair would perform two routines, including a dance picked by the judges.

Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy danced a Viennese waltz, which Bruno Tonioli called "so steamy." Len Goodman said it "lost a little but of character though." Julianne Hough said the execution "was just right." Rumer's mother Demi Moore who was there to support her also sang praise to her, "I'm truly in awe, because she makes it seem so effortless but I'm also proud of how hard she's worked. She has given 100|percent|." The judges scored the dance 38 out of 40.

Next, Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess also danced a Viennese waltz, which made Julianne cry. Bruno said it was "beautiful," while Carrie Ann Inaba loved that he had fun. Len said it was Noah's best dance. He got 36 points. After the reviews from the judges, Noah got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend Jamie Boyd.

Rikey Lynch and Allison Holker danced an emotional contemporary number. Bruno said it was an "extremely difficult" dance. Len deemed it a "great performance," while Julianne said she was "blown away." Riker earned 40 points.

Nastia Liukin and Sasha Farber, who replaced Derek Hough, didn't disappoint either with their quickstep, which was full of content. "That was incredible, it was a showstopper," Carrie Ann gushed. Bruno called her a "bombshell," adding, "you were a star out there." Nastia earned 40 points.

In the second half of the show, Rumer and Val danced a contemporary fusion with a Black Swan theme picked by judge Bruno. The judges loved it, with Len gushing, "If I had my own private leader board, you would get the highest mark. Brilliant dancing." Rumer got 30 out of 30 points, for a total of 68 points.

Carrie Ann mentored Noah and Sharna and came up with a matador-themed, dramatic paso doble for them. Julianne "had chills from head to toe," as Bruno praised the "masterful" execution. Noah earned additional 30 points for a total of 66 points.

Riker and Allison danced Julianne's choice, an Argentine tango. Julianne joined them on stage. Bruno liked it that Riker was "leading" and "controlling." Len added, "You always had flare, now musicality and technique, whoa!" He got 30 points for a total of 70 points.

Nastia and Derek danced Len's choice, a Viennese waltz. Len appeared at the end of the dance, which brought Julianne and Carrie Ann to tears. "That was something so spectacular," Carrie Ann said. Julianne chimed in, "This night has been really special. I think that was the most special dance I have ever seen, it was like none of us were here." Nastia earned 30 points for a total of 70 points.

On Tuesday, one of the pairs will be eliminated.
