The trouble with that song is it makes me laugh so hard, it's just so overwrought, plus I didn't realise that for years she was singing "Take your passion and make it happen", forever I thought it was "Take your pants down and make it happen" so I can't take it seriously.
It's going to be so overwrought and filled with earnest fun and "look at me and James having the time of my life", meanwhile you'll have me And half the the non app thread with tears pouring down our faces, barely able to breathe screaming
"Take your pants downnnnnnnnn, and make it happppennnnnn"
N
ot the mood I think they were going for. :D:D:p
Just thinking that James has done a grand total of two showdances, and for both of them he's picked a song that was already used in a previous showdance.
So is there any way we won't see Denise's showdance? Because I'm not sure I can really get behind a final that doesn't have at least one truly awful showdance, and I'm so hoping James has got his literal choreography hat one for this one...
Just read the lyrics and think of how terrible it could be...

As long as they don't grab their crotches for "what a feeling" I'll be happy.
Thank you all so much for your good wishes on Tuesday.
The sun was shining on the shores of Belfast Lough and everything went beautifully. The only hitch was the wedding car broke down, and they had to send a replacement. She wasn't fashionably late .... she was 40 minutes late !!
The service was just wonderful and all went smoothly.
As always in Ireland, the party afterwards was legendary, eventually we were kicked out of the bar at 2am :D
Back on topic .... I really don't mind who wins on Saturday ( apart from Deknees ), they all have merit and they have all improved over the weeks. I would love to see Vincent or Flavia with the glitterball though. A mop and bucket would be needed for Vincent's tears of joy. Speaking of tears, I have finally watched last week's results show. All that was missing was a full on snort .... most unbecoming.
I see that the standard of wedding cars in Belfast has not improved since my wedding 25 years ago where the bridal car developed a flat tyre while still at my parents' house and they had no spare!
Let's hope we don't get literal choreography to your misheard lyrics too...
Awww, come on don't tell me you wouldn't laugh hysterically at James in velcroed stripper trousers. He has to be British and have socks on almost up to his knees. :D:D
I'm going to enjoy DeKnees and James' show dance for all the wrong reasons aren't I?

BiB1 - I would, I would.
I think it's the "making it happen" that would cause the apprehension.
BiB2 - I hope so. I really hope so. DeKnees Van Snowdon - please "make it happen".
I think that's the thing that baffles me the most ... just how they pitched it so wrong.
James has what? 7? series of Strictly under his belt and has been through the whole gamut (apart from winning ) of Strictly storylines. Denise has 3 years of judging on a talent based popularity phone voting competition and the added advantage of having watched her husband negotiate the choppy waters of ringerdom to actually win.
How they thought the way they decided to play was the right one, is just ... baffling
These are pretty much my thoughts. They're both reality tv veterans and pretty much anything they could have done to make things worse, they did. I don't get it. Out of curiosity I did a Google search of "chris evans denise van outen strictly" and on first page had one article about Chris' comments. All the rest were Denise responding. Much the same on page 2. I really think it's Denise and James who blew this whole thing out of proportion in terms of the media. I mean, didn't the article(s) about Dani pulling out of a disco dancing musical in order to do Strictly (and the musical subsequently losing its financial backers and folding) appear at around the same time as the Chris Evans comments? That could have been far more harmful (professional dance experience, lack of professionalism/ letting people down in pulling out of the show, so "desperate" to be in the public eye that she'd pull out of a job she'd already signed up to do in order to be in Strictly), yet it blew over in a matter of weeks (days?).
I slightly love that the winners' panel tonight showed Jill kicking and flicking with flair, Mark doing a dangerous looking salsa trick and Chris... clumsily falling forwards and sliding along the floor on his bum. Ah yes, the amazing dance prowess of yester-year. In fairness I don't actually mind Chris, who always seems vaguely embarassed that he somehow won despite being really blatantly not the best dancer. His loyalty to the Jordans is very sweet as well.
Random question but Denise's jive didn't get 39 the first time round, did it? I could have sworn the jive came before the Charleston, which I'm pretty sure brought Denise's first tens.
Flavia vs. Vincent for the showdance showdown please! Denise is doing yet another mash-up of her previous dances and Kimberley/ Pasha are stealing music from dance(r)s I liked again, which means she's going to be competing against both Rachel Stevens and Alesha in my head at the weekend (seriously Pasha, just put the music down, give it back to their previous owners and I'll say no more. I like your choreography and I'm liking Kimberley more and more as the weeks go on but I *loved* Rachel's tango and you're going to have a hard time beating the beginning of Alesha's cha cha so just... hands off their music, please. *grumps*). I love that Flavia and Vincent have gone "Right, I know the others are skipping dances and we're kind of out of time but you're my celeb and I say you're doing everything so Louis, here's the second half of your rumba and your AT training and Dani, you're on Paso and rumba. If you think you're leaving here without doing all my dances, you've got another think coming!"
Unappreciating James for reaching another final without doing either AT or samba. Not-So-Artful Dodger. :rolleyes: Also unappreciating that every time they call him Jimmy I start humming "You're a queer one, Jimmy Jordan."

It got 32. I'm sure the show would love us to think Denise was popping 10s in Week 2.
Hmm... James might have 7 series of Strictly under his belt and have experienced most of the highs (although not the highest ) and lows of the whole reality show genre but the persona that comes across from him seems to indicate that he has the IQ of a dandelion.
And no, Denise's jive didn't score 39, it scored 32.

BIB - Interesting. I assumed that Disco Inferno folded, then she was drafted in to replace someone who had dropped out. Do you have any links?
ETA: Looks like it was initially reported as she pulled out first, but that it was the show that folded first, due to the producer.
Ah ok, I'm pretty sure the opposite was initially reported on here, because I remember finding the whole thing highly doubtful (as in, backers pulling out as a result of Dani not doing the show - I assumed it was coincidence rather than cause and effect).
But then it will hide her bruises and how is she going to whine and claim how hard she's found it and look at her knees because she's really struggled this week. :rolleyes::p
Perhaps she can stick one heel through the other leg, rip if and hold the leg of the catsuit to Bruce showing the ripped shreds over and over again whilst also pleading with everyone to look at the state of her knees.

I thought that was what happened too. I thought it lost its funding.
BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19486965
And another http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/19843076
It was. See my edit.
Another one word: Fourth.
Is her celeb partner struggling again
Given the disparate heights that could lead to a severe camel-toe. God, I am looking forward to the warm glow of schadenfreude on Saturday evening.
But then it will hide her bruises and how is she going to whine and claim how hard she's found it and look at her knees because she's really struggled this week. :rolleyes::p
Perhaps she can stick one heel through the other leg, rip if and hold the leg of the catsuit to Bruce showing the ripped shreds over and over again whilst also pleading with everyone to look at the state of her knees.
The only articles I've found about Dani leaving Disco Inferno are on-lines ones such as http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2012-09-05/tracy-beaker-star-dani-harmer-confirmed-for-strictly-come-dancing-2012. Radio, TV and the tabloids haven't paid too much attention to Dani so she has reached the final largely 'under the radar'. It'll be interesting to see if she can finally grab their attention on Saturday night!
