Ok maybe I should have read this thread before I did my predicted finishing order.

Rinder & Oksana, I love Rinder as a serious dancer and I love Oksana no matter what she does, great song

Greg & Natalie, I like the song but has it got enough fire?

Claudia & AJ, could be and has been much worse.

Danny and Oti, but I would like to see it.

Ed & Katya, I'm not gonna get bored watching this

Daisy & Aljaz, not a great song and I can't see her doing a great salsa

Louise & Kevin, I love that song. If I don't love her in this I never will.

Ore & Joanne, another dance where he has to use his hips, could be a problem

Any way, for treats, my friends I bring you treats!

Gladys Knight has gone to a hozzy to sing. THIS would cure you ”

Much as I like Gladys Knight, her version was terrible.

Ed and Katya will be dancing the Salsa to 'Gangnam Style' by Psy
Greg and Natalie will be dancing the Paso Doble to 'Tamacun' by Rodrigo y Gabriela
Judge Rinder and Oksana will be dancing the Foxtrot to 'You Make Me Feel So Young' by Harry Connick Jr
Louise and Kevin will be dancing the American Smooth to 'Big Spender' by Shirley Bassey
Ore and Joanne will be dancing the Rumba to 'Ordinary People' by John Legend”

Some nice choices with Big Spender being a tremendous number. Bet Louise closes the show aloft Kevi's shoulders. Bring on the haters

Like Greg's paso music though the YT clip is a bit fast. Ore has a nice song but lacking any rhythm. Hopefully the band will add this. Good storyline in the song though.

Daisy and Robert have nice music selections as well.

Ed's If anyone can bring a salsa to that music it's Katya!

Me too this is beyond a joke.😡

LOL!!!

I'm looking forward to hearing the band singing Gangnam Style more than I am Ed Balls' dance routine.

Perhaps the singers are all drawing lots to see who has the pleasure of 'singing' it.

Is this the worst year for song choices?

Wish they'd give the pros more say.

Being old 😂 I quite like the music to fit the mood of the dance 😊

3 for me this week. Looking forward to seeing lifts with Louise, don't think we've had any yet.

I got all excited when I saw Danny & Oti were doing an AT but, really, I Heard It Through The Grapevine??!!! My jaw dropped when Zoe revealed it was for them. Straight away I thought a rumba at a stretch, but I seriously cannot even begin to picture an AT. It's all wrong - the structure, the rhythm, everything. If D&O can pull this off, I will be in awe. As it's going to take some seriously good choreography and flair to make it work. I wish them all the luck in the world!

She had some just this week gone, with the AT.

Heard it through the grapevine..........tune sounds OK for AT (can actually imagine it) if they leave the singers out could work 🙂

I love it. It's so alive and jumpy. You can hear the pips squeak. Marvin Gaye's version is a prolonged wail in comparison, imo

Poor Daisy, another Latin to another inappropriate song.
Strange song for an AT, too. I take it Danny is booked in for a lower mark this week?

Hey!

Won't have anything said against anything he sang.

I'd like them to use this, for a jive maybe? Deserves a wider audience than just 39M.

Louise & Robert have the best music this week; Claudia, Daisy, Danny, Ed, Greg & Ore have the worst, IMO.

I can’t hear how an ArgentineTango will fit to I Heard It Through The Grapevine for Danny & Oti’s dance.

I also can’t hear any Viennese Waltz rhythm in Breakaway for Claudia & AJ.

Tamacun for Greg & Natalie sounds more like a Flamenco tune rather than a Paso Doble to me.

I did think it would be Greg's week to go but with proper Paso sounding music he may make it to Blackpool.

I fear for Ore a Rumba after a bottom 2 visit not great think it may be him and Daisy up for the chop this week.


As for Danny's music I don't think it's that bad if you just listen to the music. Here it doesn't sound too bad for an Argentine Tango it's just Marvin's voice makes it sound softer.”

I was thinking the same with Greg thrown into the mix, Greg/Ore v Daisy maybe. However they three could surprise, be suberb with their given song and dance choices, and get through another week.

They've got to stop him looking like a shoo-in somehow Sorry I love Danny and hope that they don't sabotage a potentially very good very good dance but I had to say it.

We often dance AT to contemporary music and even fusion, but Marvin Gaye?

No, just no. Ridiculous choice.

SCD producers deeply stupid individuals.

I fear for Danny, JR has the best music this week along with Claudia

I might be one of the few people who thinks I Heard It Through the Grapevine isn't at all impossible as an AT and if anyone can pull it off, it's Danny (and more so Oti, but still Danny). I'm inclined to wonder what the reaction was like when, say, it was announced Rachel would be dancing an AT to Prince, or Jake Wood to Zorba the Gre-never mind...

That karaoke version is much better than I expected. Let's hope Day Varch pulls something out of the bag!

That link's broken for me, maybe a regional thing. But here's the live version. As a comment says (approvingly) underneath:

That's the shit bruh

Breakaway is VW rhythm and even my dance teachers have picked it out as a good song to dance VW to before so I don't think Claudia and AJ will have a problem.

There are so many versions of heard it through the grapevine - maybe there's a tango one out there like the version of blue monday and sweet dreams. I know there's a cha cha version by the same group that did the flamenco inspired version of don't let me be misunderstood that daisy danced to. At the very least it's quite a sultry, sexy song so Len will probably lap up whatever they end up doing to it.
