It seems like they are deliberately sabotaging some of them .... Even a monkey would be able to come up with an appropriate piece of music once every few series - such as the KFG / SR Paso Doble to Les Toreadors. Let's not get our hopes up. Decent appropriate music is unlikely to be a new trend for the simple reason that the trio wouldn't know what appropriate music was. The pros should choose the music in discussion with the SCD band; and the pros should choose their dance order through the rounds depending on how they see their celebrity's skills and musicality and tell the the plonker producers to stick to managing the crowd ovulations and the judges' scores and scripts. |

I am inclined to also say 'good for you Ola' but with the caveat that the cynic in me can't help but wonder, had the routine been a huge hit, whether she'd have been sat on that sofa saying 'I can't take the credit for it, it wasn't my idea'.

It is good that pros just don't take the debit for decisions beyond their control BUT it works both ways and they shouldn't take credit for such decisions either.
And human nature being what it is they're much more likely to keep quiet about the latter. |

Plus full marks to him for giving it the full works when he got it. I don't think many others would have done - can you see Artem, for eg, willingly doing something so 'conventional' and exposing?
) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxPgusJ4GGA and so was the one he did with Fern (albeit she was pretty limited as a dancer) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EntfF0QSXxs. The one he danced with Kara was more 'themed' (think it was hallowe'en) and we haven't seen one with Natalie yet.....Quote:

Personally, I like modern music (alongside the traditional) on the show, but some of the choices are just poor choices for the dances |

BIB Yes. His Paso with Holly was pretty straight down the line (ignoring the Zorro mask
) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxPgusJ4GGA and so was the one he did with Fern (albeit she was pretty limited as a dancer) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EntfF0QSXxs. The one he danced with Kara was more 'themed' (think it was hallowe'en) and we haven't seen one with Natalie yet.....I'm sure that's true. I bet lots of them would love not to have to work around themes and ill fitting music.

I hope they are going to let the Saturday night viewers know too since they are the ones misled by Craig plus it probably directly affects the voting.
Bruce/Tess could credit the producers with the music and costume choices after one of the first performances, the same way as the orchestra gets credited

Well done indeed to Ola, she's gone up in my estimation . What do those producers know about dancing . They should all be made to have lessons in all the various types of dances, maybe then they wouldn't be making such idiotic choices with the dances and the music.

I don't think so. The producers, Katie Taylor, Andrea Hamilton and Glenn Coomber , are clearly a talentless tone-deaf trio who wouldn't be capable of choosing mis-matched music to a particular dance.
Even a monkey would be able to come up with an appropriate piece of music once every few series - such as the KFG / SR Paso Doble to Les Toreadors. Let's not get our hopes up. Decent appropriate music is unlikely to be a new trend for the simple reason that the trio wouldn't know what appropriate music was.

Yes. It's interesting that after all these years this is the first time we've heard that the pros don't choose the music or the themes.

I actually really liked the cowboy paso, even though it should have been awful!
The spaceman/alien one though is one of the worst things I have ever seen on Strictly. I didn't even realise it was meant to be a paso until the judge's comments. |

What I also hate is when some of the judges blame the music choice or the theme on the pros; as if some of them even have a say in the matter. |

Well, they aren't gonna bite the hand that feeds them so well and they have to blame "somebody" and the pros and their partners "are nearest."

What I admire about her is her competitiveness.
The look she has on her face when she's waiting to hear whether she and her partner are through, could be described as miserable, but I think it's more a case of sheer anxiety because that they might be going out. |

conspiracy theories out again - all of them have had dodgy themes foisted on them Kevin would not have wanted that Raiders of the lost ark theme either or bad moon rising for a Charleston - and I bet Brendan did not pick his Halloween theme either
