Greg's sounds dire.
Can't see Rinder going with that, or indeed Balls. Danny and Ore seem to be getting the best deal - vote friendly dances to vote friendly music. Explosive seems to have no lyrics or story? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiaOFOMPOBc Louise is a pop star. Some similar women have had nothing but pop tracks to emphasis that. I think she'd be struggling if she was getting constant pop music like Claudia. Louise is instead being allowed to run a 'Mum who is turning into a performer' storyline, helped hugely by the music. I'm not saying every track she gets is perfect or that nobody else is getting good music, I'm not saying that at all. But she is getting one of the most helpful selections this year. Blackpool is hard to predict because of all the extras and other dancers but on paper, just going on the song choices, I would say that Danny and Louise are meant to shine and be the dances of the night, Ed and Robert are planned to be the 'did you see that!' entertainment, Ore and Claudia are OK but eventually expendable, if one falls into the b2 it's OK, and Greg is meant to go home. |

To be honest, I'm not seeing how the choice of music for Louise's paso could be considered either perfect or evidence of favouritism.
This pseudo-classical track is far from traditional and I admit to being unfamiliar with it until yesterday. There are other far more well known and popular music choices for the dances this week which seem to me more audience friendly. I saw it mentioned that Emma Bunton danced to it and when I looked her dance up on YouTube, I was underwhelmed by the music. Yes, Louise got traditional music for her AT but her foxtrot song was awful, having previously been used on Strictly for a Cha Cha and her Charleston music didn't work for me either. Danny had great music for his quickstep and a more traditional sound for his paso; Robert Rinder had songs which suited his quickstep and foxtrot the past couple of weekends. As for Ed, apart from his week one waltz, he has been given dances, themes and music where he could bring a fun or showy element and this has made it much easier for him to do an entertaining performance and pick up votes. All couples get what they are given and have to work with it and I feel that everyone has had some difficult choices and some good choices. |

I think the band will help Claudia and A J with "Hey Mickey."
It's got a driving beat which the audience will get behind, clapping on the wrong beats of course. But maybe particularly with this song as they are a bit tricky. It amazes me that with the BBC's micro-management of this show, which is necessary because of its fast pace, that the floor managers can't get the audience started off clapping on the correct beat with every tune. Given that they encourage the unnecessary clapping. |

Paso to Explosive
Big floor, best paso dress, big dramatic instrumental, I can see the audience lapping it up and the judges wetting themselves ready to dole out the tens no generic pop song for Louise and Kev I predict 4 tens and if they dont get them I will show my bare arse in Debenhams window |
