Claudia's hasn't got too bad music - the Rumba and QS are at least do-able to that.

Glad All Over and Can't Get You Out of My Head are totally ridiculous and inappropriate for the others dances. Really unfair in a semi-final to have such crap music.

I think the producers have lost it! Glad all over for a tango and Kylie for an AT?

Not looking forward to seeing both Tangos from Ore and Louise - mainly because of the bad song choices - also not looking forward to seeing Louise do a samba - I think she could struggle with this dance, sorry

I think Ore probably has the shortest straw but not too short. After the series we've had, none of the song choices are that bad.

So this is the best they could come up with for the semi final, is it? Whoever's responsible, line the culprits up against a wall - any offers to man the machine guns?

I love Danny's salsa song and Ore's QS song. The AT song choice definitely seems alarming but if they do a different arrangement like they did with Heard It Through the Grapevine, it could possibly work.

Minus Louise, the Argentine Tango song choices this series have been absolutely dreadful
But Kevin does so love the 1960s and earlier.

This is why I am looking forward to it *Evil Laugh*

Being an Ore Supporter, I'm a bit disappointed with the AT song choice, but...

With the right arrangement it could work

That's just an example how it can be changed.

There's a ballroom tango version which I've danced to before. Don't love it, personally. I think ballroom tango remixes of popular songs can be very hit or miss and this is a bit of a miss, though I do rate DJ Maksy's latin remixes.

I feel that you can often tell the percussion is programmed and it lacks the drama of an original or classic tango song.

That said the tango version of say it right by nelly furtado ROCKS. No idea who did it but I love it! They should use it on the show.

I can see Can't Get You Out Of My Head working, but Glad All Over seems a bit of a stretch.

Loved the arrangement they did for Telephone that Katie and Anton danced to last year.

Bleeding Love is a big plus for Claudia's Rumba. If they can't generate chemistry to that....

It gives them a good chance by the Rumba, though AJ will have to adapt very well in the QS to make Claudia look good enough.

BIB I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that Marc Anthony track; it is PERFECT, absolutely perfect for a Salsa; I have always wanted someone to dance to that song on dwts or strictly and it is my favorite couple who has the honor; Couldn't be more pleased

Great song as well for his AS. Very pleased as a Danny fan

Just listened to Glad All Over. I reckon with a bit of mangling it could just about work. And it's still not an Argentine Tango to Can't Get You Out of My Head.

It really is no worse than 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine' and could work well depending on tempo as it has a passionate storyline. If they pull it off it'll be all the more memorable for being unusual. Could be a vote winner actually as that song is very popular.

That was by Martynas!

He also does a version of Habanera that switches in and out of La Cumparsita (the song you think of when you think of "tango song" for anyone who doesn't know) which they should definitely use on strictly!

On music alone -and before seeing training- I'm guessing:

Claudia/AJ Rumba to ‘Bleeding Love’ - popular song, chance for lots of grown-up emoting for Claudia. Tick

Quickstep to ‘When You’re Smiling’ -personally, I love this tune, and may well suit the smiley Claudiar really well. Tick


D'Oti Salsa to ‘Vivir Mi’ Vida -less well known track, but Oti might pull off another fab "authentic" piece of choreo. Tick

American Smooth to ‘Misty Blue’- LOVE this song, and given it's so slow, we might -for once- get to see Danny do something without Oti's trademark freneticism. Tick


Louise/Kevin Samba to ‘Brazil’ -ok track, and lots of scope for being all "authentic" (the show's been far kinda to sambas this year than tangos). Tick

Tango to ‘Glad All Over’ -ffs! Are we going to have to put up with a Kellie60sTango#2 ?!? This is where theories of a Clifton Bias look pretty ropey. Godawful choice. Cross.


Ore/Jo Quickstep to ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl?’ - can't recall who last danced to this, but it's suitably upbeat to probably be popular with the public. Dot.

Argentine Tango to ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ -if they sing the sultry version of this, it could be simultaneously popular with the public and suitable for an AT. Tick

I actually think that Danny's AT song was slightly better than this . I have checked out the slow arrangement and I think that you're right. It could actually work.
