I love the singers, but they did no justice to that song.
I thought it was loosely based on a very powerful Sia video, Elastic Heart, which (IMO) is a far better example of modern dance: https://youtu.be/2vjPBrBU-TM And this is the original Chandelier - same dancer Sia used in a period where she wouldn't show her own face: https://youtu.be/2vjPBrBU-TM Last edited by dottigirl : 11-12-2016 at 21:01.

My Strictly horrification moments are still Widdies Winslet rumba with the bucket of water and foghorn sound effect and Peter Andres hoofing 'jive'.

The really, truly horrifying thing?
Kevin's paunch in that golf sweater. Why? Ugh! |

Horrifying?
Someone swallowed the exaggeraters' dictionary? |

I had a dream where Lesley Joseph (sorry Lesley) had a horribly displaced ankle/compound fracture. And another one where Brendan came back to life as he was being sent for an autopsy.
No more Strictly for me after nine o'clock at night ![]() ![]() Quote:
I didn't like it. I would rather see Anton and Natalie doing a foxtrot.

I thought the cage and costumes were awful, but the dance itself was perfectly fine - if they'd been wearing proper dresses and ballroom shoes it wouldn't have been far off an American Smooth.

I thought it was great, very dramatic. Different than the usual Latin and ballroom. Loved the feathers too.

It was the worst pro dance this series. Didn't they say on ITT it was a new choreographer, if so it should be her first and last attempt.

Sick of the site of Janette's crotch, some truly ugly positions that should be confined to the bedroom.

Overall, I think this year's pro routines have been excellent. |

Agreed. And if that was supposed to be Pasha's front and centre dance for the series, then I am deeply aggrieved.

It was o.k. but not one of the best routines this year. It didn't build as a routine for me, the story was non-existent. The audience didn't stand at the end, I think either. Janette got out of the cage without help, so why would she not fly away! |

Fan of the site of Janette's crotch, some truly sensational positions that should be shared in the bedroom

Well I enjoyed it. The dance that is, not Janette's crotch

in my opinion was that opening pro dance. Graceless, meaningless, badly choreographed and poorly performed (some of the timing issues!). What has happened to the idea that the pros got a chance to show us classic ballroom and latin skills and gave the celebs something to aspire to? The endless dumbing down of dancing skills to meaningless and ugly gyration to music is, as Len would say, getting on my wick!

If
You look at the report of the DS member who attended she said "they had to do it twice as there was not enough crowd noise the first time "
Says it all really so uninspiring |
