Thank you.

I'm worried about Claudia's dance, it sound more like a Samba song.

On first glance looks like Louise & Ore have dances/songs most suited to them. Love Judge Rinder's song.

Hoping Danny & Claudia can pulls theirs off.

Thank you for posting

Sigh, Rinder is dancing to 'my' strictly song .

(By mine I obviously mean my "if I danced on strictly I would totally dance to this song".....what do you mean no-one else has a list of songs/dances *backs slowly out of thread hoping no-one saw.....)

Hate Danny and Oti's song - the tango seems to be the worst victim of horrible music this year. Nothing there that makes me excited to watch. I don't mind Judge Rinder's song but I've no idea if it will make a good samba.

I just knew that Louise would be given a nice trotting along song to do a QS to ... no thrash 'My Generation/Ballroom Blitz for her!

Danny's sounds very fast for a Tango.

Really unfair, Claudia has already danced Samba and now has to the Salsa.
Louise yet to dance a Salsa or a Samba.
Getting beyond ridiculous now.

Laura having danced a Salsa, had to dance a Samba with the an injured ankle.
Louise Waltz and Quickstep, no Salsa or no Samba,

Yes, think that could easily result in criticism for being too frantic.

There was me thinking oooh Danny and Oti have the best music again when Zoe played that thinking it was for An American Smooth only for her to say Tango.

Yes, Louise'll probably skip one won't she? Not a bad move from Kevin as they're not her style at all.

"Judge Rinder and Oksana will be dancing the Samba to ‘Oh! What a Night!’ from Jersey Boys" after that Samba that Danny did last Saturday. He's well and truly done, game over.

Only she can skip her weak dances, while others are thrown under the bus.
They should have given her the Salsa and Claudia another dance.
Why would they??

Was really hoping Danny and Oti would have the American Smooth. It would fit perfectly for Musicals week

Probably means, if they get through, they'll miss AS altogether as they won't want two dances w/ lifts in the semi finals.

Goodness that's a odd list of choices. The Samba and Tango in general these days seem to be the dances that result in the most shocking music choices.

'I Just Can't Wait to Be King' is something far more suited to a Samba than a Salsa (Didn't Mark and Iveta dance a Samba to it recently?).

'One Night Only' too seems an odd fit for a tango. That said the tango song selection process normally seems to involve bashing in a random number into a jukebox and seeing what comes up.
That said I know Katie & Anton doing a tango to 'Telephone' last year seemed ridiculous and in reality it was just a string instrumental and actually worked well.

'Oh What a Night' seems pretty bad too for a Samba.

While the Cliftons seem to have got off lightly this week, let's not forget both have had some awful tango and samba songs in the past - the 'Boom Shake The Room' samba springs to mind.

I thought they'd be doing 2 dances each by now. How are they going to fill the show?

My point is Louise is yet to dance a Salsa or Samba, therefore she should have danced it this week. Another Ballroom in hold for her, where she can just hang on to Kevin.

Hope he doesn't skip it Have thought since his QS, that the AS could be another big wow dance for him in ballroom.

Do the dart throwing monkeys really hate the tango? Have we had one good tango song all series?

I think Ore has by miles the best song for the dance. I think the Judge is stuffed having the samba to that. Not sure about Claudia's but it could be cute, really depends what costume does to them. Altogether, I feel like we've had better songs from musicals on other weeks than we have this week.

yes but if they make the semi will have to do 1 ballroom 1 latin so obviously she is dropping either salsa or samba - you cannot expect someone to do salsa and samba consecutively and plenty of others Rinder for example have done 2 ballrooms in a row
