Stevie Wonder may be dancing onto your television screen — yes, dancing!

The 61-year-old "Superstition" singer appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Friday, where Ellen DeGeneres put him on the spot after hearing rumblings he wanted to join Dancing with the Stars.

"I'm losing weight," he replied. "When I get to where I feel like I'm going to look good enough for what I want to do, I'll do that." After DeGeneres pointed out that the singer would lose weight while on the show, Wonder replied, "I'll look good in the beginning and I'll look even better in the end."

Though Dancing with the Stars has never featured a blind celebrity, hearing impaired Oscar-winner Marlee Matlin competed and came in 7^th place during Season 6.

I'd like to see that happen.

Aw man! I hope not.

That would be the only thing that could get me to watch that damn show.

Stevland can do almost everything but after what I saw on BET six years ago, the last thing Mr. Morris need to do is dance!

If this happens, I will drop my OWN crutches and walk to work, tomorrow....

He was performing "What's the Fuss" and midway through, he decided to dance with the dancers. Lemme tell you I almost died laughing at that.

Stevie always had a great sense of humor. I love him. I don't wanna see him bust his ass though.

Yeah he better had been joking or I'm gonna seriously consider turning in my fan card.

Oh, please God-no!!! Life like I know it will end if Stevie does this! First, Mick and now Stevie? The world is flat and we are all going over the edge to musical purgatory...

What the hell is he gonna do? Just stand there in the middle of the stage while someone dances around him? Can you imagine???

LORD! When I saw that, I literally cried laughing because I can't believe someone would put him up to do that.

It could work if he pulled an MJ soul train awards

This is a joke, right?

Well, in that case, I can see it happening...just as he wanted to experience driving a car and filmed it for an Oprah show. If this is the case, I applaud his balls in dancing in front of an audience. Although I wouldn't do it in his case in the same circumstances.

Here's a clip from the Ellen show. The interview starts around 4:50.

I can't see him dancing to someone else's music lmao

Wow. They must be desperate for ratings. Not only is he blind, he's just not a dancing type.

BTW- why did he right Isn't She Lovely? For all he knows his daughter could have been a demon

I kid Stevie (Love him!)

I love how everybody and their mama is all like "no Stevie no". But believe me if Stevie had wanted to dance back in 1983 and he was joked about, a few brothers would've wanted to beat you the fuck up.

How things changed.
