Massively unappreciating Andre Rieu and his pastel tinted orchestra who can probably play but you'd never know it. Words cannot begin to describe how much I hated that rendition of "Hallelujah". OH plays in assorted orchestras (as a hobby) and was spitting teeth. Mildly mollified by them apparently forgetting to mic him.
Sad for Daisy who looked as though she'd just given up in the DO. Will miss her husky tones and filthy laugh and general all around niceness. |

I've had a sneak peek of their Paso actually:
Dramatic music starts, flames billowing, TTF starts swishing his cape. Louizzz walks out tutting, takes the cape while telling him that he could have someone's eye out with that, then blows out the flames and says "how many times have I told you that it's dangerous to play with fire?" The end. |

They took a hauntingly beautiful melody and made it cheesy schmaltz with no soul.

Right so let me get this straight. This week Claudia has VW to a tedious song straight after Ed balls doing Gangnam Style. Next week she's up against him in the Jive, on a dance that could be been her breakthrough???
Oh that's fair! :-/ guess it's Claudia of the able slebs who's getting chucked under the Ed Balls Double Decker coach P.S haven't seen show but guessing he has Jive from song choice |

Can you imagine Louise doing a Susannah though?
She'll be wafting the skirt like a duster and have the Pledge down one of TTF's socks. |

They always do that though. His orchestra dress brightly because he said he thinks the tradition of dressing in boring black clothing isn't what his shows are about. He wants his orchestra to be front and centre, not blend into the background. He's not my type of thing but his concerts are massively popular and at least he's introducing classical music to a new audience.

That reminds my Kevin's getting a bit Svengali with Loiuse, he seems to be getting her to do his things, like that god awful kick, and then the awesome speech. i know the teacher pupil things is really intense during SCD but I don't think I have every felt the Svengali vibe so strong before. |

I love Churches
I just like the idea of these places being used for worship for centuries - way before organised religion in lots of cases - and think that build up of faith is powerful. Exits, in embarrassment Oh and on topic, I didn't really like Danny & Oti's AT, they were too far apart and I didn't feel the dance at all and the music was truly shocking so I do admire them for even trying to dance to it. |

I missed the start of the results show... as ever but I did manage to see a bit of Andre Rieu and his orchestra of pastel ladies.
Was it acknowledged as his plan to perform "Hallelujah" anyway or was it intended to be a tribute to Leonard Cohen after the announcement of his death? I just wondered because of the coincidence of the pros' dance to "You Spin Me Round" being planned and performed in the same week that Pete Burns died unexpectedly. Maybe recording artistes need to be made aware in future if any of their music is planned to be used in Strictly in the coming week, just on case they want to stay indoors under a blanket until it's safe to come out.

They mentioned Leonard Cohen so I'm guessing it was a deliberate tribute to him (one of my favourite musical artists so I'm sad this week).
