Even when Ed gets a serious slow-ish dance, he gets a 'comedy' number... no doubt his routine will involve lots of marching on the spot. Sigh.

Anastacia, Claudia, Daisy, Greg, Judge Rinder, Laura, Lesley and Ore all have great songs!
The two rumbas are awful choices though and ridiculous choice for Ed's American Smooth. He should at least be given the chance to do a really classy AS! |

Also, with Greg doing the cha cha, that means everyone has done it now apart from Ed.

I love Louise's song ( Michael Buble's version). I think it will work.

I liked that group routine too - couple of ex pupils took part in that and were extras on the main dances - think it was first time Jo danced with the pros with Brendan

Perhaps they'll have him falling off a travelator in a sentimental nod to Ronnie Corbett.
haha could see that Jo's boyfriends half brother is Ronnies grandson they are both 6ft 4in they must have dwarfed Ronnie from a young age ![]() ![]()

Two Latins in a row for Greg... hopefully we can come together to save him from the DO.

I wish someone would dance a jive to 'Uptown girl' Westlife version.
Love that song. |

Yuck! So relieved they're not. They ruined a Billy Joel classic.

bendymixer, can I ask what makes a good piece of rumba music? On Strictly it seems slow mushy love song usually suffices.

I thought I was going mad there. I couldn't find the post I just made about this weeks music..
No wonder - there are two threads covering the same subject!

I doubt Bendymixer would ever admit it but Anton's choice for Katie Derham's rhumba last year - Never by Shirley Bassey - is a classic show rhumba number. Watch the peerless Gaynor Fairweather dance it with Donnie Burns
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZVFtTNwsKA why would I not admit it ?? it's a good dance track and love Donnie and Gaynor dancing to it - can hardly compare Anton's and think Anton was just lucky with what producers chose for him

Some interesting choices this week, my thoughts in bold.
Ore and Joanne will be dancing the Waltz to the Claudia Streza version of 'I Will Always Love You' - that's gonna be sickly sweet then but probably beautiful and why isn't it the Whitney version cos she sang it like that first in The Bodyguard

Completely agree, why choose to reference a lesser/karaoke version of an iconic song originally performed so majestically by a legendary artist - totally bizarre.
![]() Amy's song. |

Frankly, Dolly Parton's own version of the song is light years better than Whitney Houston's rendition.
It's a poignant love song and Whitney ruined it by bellowing like a walrus in prolonged labour.

May be they don't have the singers to justify Whitney's version. Last week they killed
Amy's song. |

Claudia and AJ will be dancing the Samba to 'Young Hearts Run Free' by Candi Staton - Love this song, not sure it's a Samba though. ![]() https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BDzzqqUlSvU And I really hate it when they repeat songs with the same dance - particularly when the previous version got high marks - as you're just going to compare... And that's one of the few sambas I've ever liked on Strictly |

Lesley an Anton have the best song. Don Warrington danced tango to this song with Lilia Kopolova.

I didn't know about Dolly's original version. Still prefer Whitney's version. Loved the movie.
BIB - ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp7DEqz_cmQ ... and of course it was Dolly who wrote it.
