Not unnless Dave arch arranges it right - the Bill Hayley version is rock and roll timing not jive |

A few nice songs there, but a lot of bland ones, especially for the waltz. Love Tameka's Charleston music.

I think that the music choices this week are a bit of a mixed bag. For me:
Best Music ![]() ![]() ![]() Ed & Katya Tameka & Gorka OK Music Claudia & AJ * Daisy & Aljaz Danny & Oti Laura & Giovanni Lesley & Anton ** Louise & Kevin Will & Karen Worst Music ![]() I just don’t hear the connection between the song & the dance unfortunately. Anastacia & Brendan Greg & Natalie Melvin & Janette Naga & Pasha ( the tune sounds more like a Rock and Roll to me) Ore & Joanne Robert & Oksana (I’m calling him Robert because I think Judge Rinder sounds a bit pretentious when everyone else is called by their first names, but he may have wanted to be called Judge Rinder on the show though for all I know). * I think that this version of You Light Up My Life by Kenny Rogers would make a better waltz than the Whitney Houston one IMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO_XvkO_wDA ** I like this Cha Cha Cha version of Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps (might sound a bit dated though ):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hYfKuUOosI I thought that Louise danced well last week, so i'm looking forward to watching her do the Viennese Waltz; i'm also interested in seeing how Ed & Tameka get on with their respective Charlestons. |

Have a feeling though that Karen has tended to favour a rock and roll vibe to her jives (bit like the feel of Kevin's last week) in the past?

Melvin and Janette are Moving on up, moving on out of Strictly with that song. Never let it be said that dance training will get you far on Strictly, cos if that cha cha is anything to go by Melvin cannot dance! janette's choreography wasn't helping matters.

I don't know how Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth and Meghan Trainor is an American Smooth?
![]() In other news: Love their music and feel a great routine may ensue Naga & Pasha - best of the week for me...c'mon Naga!!! Claudia & AJ Daisy & Aljaz Will & Karen (don't like so much but obvious jive music) Tameka & Gorka Ed & Karen (think this will be a slow-enough Charleston for Ed to keep up) Lesley & Anton (ditto re Lesley) Don't like their music/find inappropriate Melvin & Janette (the worst this week by a mile) Anastacia & Brendan Danny & Oti (cannot STAND this song) Greg & Natalie Totally Uninspired Laura & Giovanni Ore & Joanne For Louise & Kevin, Alexandra Burke's interpretation would have been better for the rousing end. But, being the X-Factor Winners Song that year may have ruled that one out ![]() ![]()

Sorry Melvin, seems a nice bloke and all, but looking like a crap dancer. |

I do have to applaude the pros for choreographing dances to some of the music choices, as we know the producers have more input in song choices, it breaks my heart though when the judges then judge the pro & celeb on the fact that maybe the music doesn`t suit the dance and there isn`t enough content bah blah bah because the music doesn`t fit the dance. |

we use the perhaps perhaps pussycat dolls as a cha for the beginner class all the time - it's more a cha cha than a tango

If anyone googles cha cha cha and perhaps perhaps on the internet (or quizas quizas), there are a number of cha cha chas danced to it, including those by top level dancers and including the pussycat dolls version. It is a fairly popular cha cha cha. Furthermore, it is really easy for beginners to pick up the cha cha cha (4 and 1) beat in the music. And it lends itself to a bit of story telling. I'd be very happy to get that music if I were Lesley.

However Melvin dances, and Janette choreographs, neither can blame the music. Moving On Up is not a favourite tune of mine by any means, but it is a regularly used, in schools, studios and competitions, "proper" ccc piece.
