    And we all thought Danny's AT song was bad...poor Ore. I'm assuming the band will put their own twist on it like they did with Heard It Through the Grapevine but still pretty bizarre.

    Minus Louise, the Argentine Tango song choices this series have been absolutely dreadful

    What did Ore do to deserve that?

    There are Tango versions of Can't Get You Out of My Head. Seems to suit more of a Ballroom Tango though.

    Yeah, would be nice to have subtlety over warbling ballad - but still nothing compared to Ore, haha

    If they had to Choose Kylie Minogue for an Argentine Tango, I think they should have used "Confide In Me". :)

    Bleeding Love was Tina's rumba song in Series 8 (before she got the pox).

    So they'll prob do a slowed down version of Can't Get You Out Of My Head, but bizarrely could see it working (though why they can't give us more traditional choices for the ATs I'll never know).

    I'm assuming they'll use the Abbey Road version of the Kylie song, although even that's more appropriate for a ballroom Tango.

    (the party Latins are both great for a change, mind)

    The blindfolded dart throwing music monkeys have obviously had "tone deaf" added to their title

    There is a slower version of this song which would work for a AT, depends on the arrangement...

    But Louise doing a Tango to Glad All Over :o I can not imagine how that will work :confused:

    I was going to say, the Abbey Road version will work pretty well.

    Louise's Tango song is pretty poor though.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking for Ore's AT as well - that would be a really great choice provided they do use that version. Danny's Salsa music is fantastic as well. :) Louise's Tango song, on the other hand... just what? :confused:

    It's a great track for a QS. Worked brilliantly for Kara & Artem: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T5mzkJb6IGM :)

    Being a Crystal Palace Supporter all my life, I love Glad All Over. :)
    No matter how much they fiddle with the arrangement, I can not see it as a Tango :confused:

    I still have my fingers crossed for Ore & Jo to pull it off :kitty:

    Claudia's hasn't got too bad music - the Rumba and QS are at least do-able to that.

    Glad All Over and Can't Get You Out of My Head are totally ridiculous and inappropriate for the others dances. Really unfair in a semi-final to have such crap music.
