Pixie also danced a Rumba to Sam Smith

i think Sam Smith songs are good for a Rumba

because Rumba is a dramatic dance.


so i like their Song Choice for Movie Week, maybe a nice dress for her, a James Bond tuxedo for Giovanni.

Love Jay & Aliona's song - they will smash this out of the ball park.

I honestly don't think I'll be able to watch Daniel doing Summer Nights...

EDIT: didn't recognise Kellie & Kevin's song until I looked it up on youtube - and realised I loved this too! Am expecting big things for their Charleston.


Ditto.

Anthony's Paso, i'm not looking forward to it, a one armed Paso.

Goodbye Anthony&Oti, the next boot is for you.

and Daniel to Summer Nights ( dull and boring song from grease)

i'm not judging it as a Bond Theme , maybe it's the worst Bond theme.

I'm saying i think it's a good Rumba song, full of drama

It is a good song and theme.

I expect the Jive will be possibly the most alien dance form to Jay, so I think he may have to work extra hard this week.

Um, non-dancer's very ignorant question, just looking for reassurance really, but is Jay's song a jive? Aren't a twist and a jive quite different? As someone with no ear for these things at all.

I think Peter and Kellie have got the best choices, thinking of songs and memorable costumes - even if their dancing isn't perfect, people will love the costumes. Jeremy's and Daniel's should also keep them in. Not sure about Jay or Helen yet - might be great, they might not be confident enough yet. Anita should be safe and I think Georgia will be as well though I think it's a bit boring to have given her a Bond theme.

I think Anthony and Jamelia have got the most forgettable songs, possibly Carol as well. Anthony's really got his work cut out with a one-armed paso, let alone to a pretty cliche song - hopefully his lovely personality will get him enough votes to keep him in a bit longer. And Jamelia needs to have a word with someone back stage (perhaps she needs to be the diva she's claimed to be a bit more) because her song choices aren't giving her a chance.

Georgia is just a arrogant Diva, because she chooses the newest Bond Theme for a Rumba, so dull and boring.

Jamelia is a sweet person, Georgia is the real Diva

There was someone in DWTS who only had one arm and one leg and he got through to the final. As in really only had one arm, not an arm which is injured.

If you value your sanity JT I wouldn't enquire down that route too much. Very few tracks used on SCD are actually appropriate for the dance they are chosen for. It is my single greatest grievance with the show

I am not sure what track Jay has but its more likely than not, not a jive. Jamilia certainly has her work cut out being asked to salsa to that.

ETA some of the ballroom dancers were saying on here last night they don't envy Peter the task of trying to Paso to his track which accents the wrong beats for the dance.

Oh, I'm sorry if I seemed to be being glib, I didn't mean any offence.

leave Jay alone, he got a good song.

Georgia is the only one with a wrong song choice, her own fault

True.

I just think that Peter will have such a great costume and set that if it's a dramatic paso, people will love it and if it's a silly comedy paso people will still love it - either fits the character. So I think he should be safe as houses. There aren't many songs that can either be done straight or as comedy, most are one or the other.

Oh indeed. It won't do him any harm. They will dress him up in dreadlocks, a bandana, lots of guy liner. Janette will of course be wearing next to nothing, while still looking like a flamenco dancer (one of the most covered up styles I can think of in all dance).

Everyone will go gaga. They will sail through to the next round. Meanwhile just a few people on here quite rightly and justly point out ' a paso it was not' .

Its such a shame because each dance is wonderful in its own right so why the need to corrupt them I will never know.

Hey ho. Still better than X factor etc.

Peter's music and theme guarantees them top marks and thru to next week imo and of course will hide lack of paso in the routine - Janette's paso routine last year was poor imo

I hesitate to bring this on myself but..uhmm remind me would you? Was that the one where she wore a multi-coloured skirt and Mark dragged her around a floor pretending to be a city sky line?

ETA no that was Karen I think. I always get those two mixed up. Who did Janette have last year?

Exactly right. All of it.

In their frantic desperation to appeal to everyone, and the kitchen sink The Producers (I use that term with deep reservations) choice of music has slowly slithered down hill until it really hits the lowest common denominator.

Their choices are the kind of stuff sung out of tune at the end of a drunken wedding when the entire party is four sheets to the wind and stumbling about like toddlers.

They rarely, if ever, relate to the dance in question and they repeat the naffest, shoutiest number every single year.

It's so tedious, so predictable and so darn LAZY. Tacky as hell.

And breathe.

They are constantly giving him great songs/ themes, dancing order. ...thus implicitly favoring him.
