Jennie Finch on

Olympic athlete and Dancing With the Stars contestant Jennie Finch has refused to perform to a popular new Janelle Monae track, citing her Christian faith and desire to honor God. The song, “Make Me Feel,” is sexually suggestive and was deemed to be a “little too risque” for the athlete.
