Thanks Cosmo It should be Carol's turn this week .....but who knows  

If only for her choice of song!    (It's almost Swedish imo)  

I'm looking forward to a rousing rendition of Volare. 

VOLARE ....OH OH ....CANTARE ....OH OH OH  

love the title

Yes, but did you expect Baz to break into song midway through the thread?

And, should I add it to the title?  

Aimee   You know I don't read spoilers so I wanted to make sure it didn't look like I was trying to tread on your toes.  

Jeremy and Karen are dancing the Tango to ’Go West’ by The Pet Shop Boys.

WTF????

 

I wouldn't have thought that anyway whoever sees the spoiler first is free to post it x

Thanks, darling  

I think you've got the job of super sleuth for the foreseeable future 

Now, who's going to tell Kaffs that I posted the truth and that Jeremy is indeed Going West this weekend

Oh, I believe you... but that has to win the prize for the most un-tango-esque music ever - and there's been some pretty unsuitable tango music on there..

Ever since we found out that the idiotic production team chose the songs and not the pro dancers it's made sense as to why so many dance/song combos have been dreadful.  

Earlier on ITT Tristan was hinting how hard it was to dance to songs that have been previously used in earlier series (they've been claimed by others already sort of thing)....and that the Time Warp really is just THAT and not a salsa, jive or waltz!

I'm reminded of Mark Benton (yes, one of my faves) and how the production were hell bent on positioning him as the comedy act that year.  Iveta wouldn't be budged and she showed them how to do comedy without being treated as a laughing stock or a fool.  Mark was fun;  he wasn't an idiot.

Before the list of dances and songs, here's a little light relief.

The epic Mark Benton & Iveta

The Show Before Blackpool Week (aka Beggar's Opera):

Anita and Gleb - Quickstep to ‘Don't Get Me Wrong’ by The Pretenders.

Jeremy and Karen - Quickstep to ‘Going Underground’ by The Jam.

Georgia and Giovanni - Charleston to ‘Hot Honey Rag' from Chicago.

Peter and Janette - Viennese Waltz to ‘You're My World’ by Cilla Black.

Helen and Aljaž - Tango to 'Hold Back The River' by James Bay.

Jay and Aliona - Foxtrot ‘Lay Me Down’ by Sam Smith.

Katie and Anton - Rumba () to ‘Never Never Never' by Shirley Bassey.

Jamelia and Tristan - Samba to ‘A Little Respect’ by Erasure.

Kellie and Kevin - Samba to ‘Boom Shake The Room’ by Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince.

Hopefully Jamelia will go this week .....although Katie looks in danger with a rumba

Jeremy vs Anita for QS comparisons, plus Jamelia vying against Kellie in the Samba stakes.  Doesn't bode well does it?  

Mind you, the words Anton & Rumba are pretty scary too....and that's before Katie's hit the gin bottle! 

PS.  Jeremy has said he'll  do Mysterious Girl (minus shirt) a-la Peter Andre homage if he gets to the final 3.

I think that's a threat rather than a promise  

bless him 

Curse him more like!  

He must have lost a gazillion votes for even thinking it and I bet Peter's thinking "Damn, I should have thought of that"  

Before I post the songs and dances for BLACKPOOL at THE TOWER BALLROOM (OMGzzzzzzz, pass me a Kiss Me Quick Hat immediately), here's a heart warming clip with Something For Everyone.....

Nice, huh?  

Dances & songs:

Anita and Gleb will perform the Paso Doble to the dramatic ‘Malaguena’ by Connie Francis.

Georgia and Giovanni dance the American Smooth to the Whitney Houston power-ballad ‘I Have Nothing’.

Helen and Aljaž are going to Charleston to ‘Anything Goes’ from the musical of the same name.

Jamelia and Tristan Quickstep to 1960’s classic ‘I’m A Believer’ by The Monkees.

Jay and Aliona will Salsa to the disco-flavoured ‘Cuba’ by The Gibson Brothers.

Katie and Anton perform the American Smooth to Dean Martin’s ‘Ain’t That A Kick In The Head.

Kellie and Kevin will be Quickstepping to Dolly Parton’s ‘Nine To Five’.

Peter and Janette are Jiving to Tina Turner’s ‘River Deep, Mountain High’.

Thanks Cosmo I just hope that Jamelia goes this week  

You're welcome 

I think it's a dead cert that Jamelia will go but I wonder who she'll be up against?  Possibly Peter..?  If his timing is bad like in his Charleston then he could be in trouble.  

Jay and Aliona have got a great song, and I imagine Helen's will be a crowd pleaser;  Katie will need to remember the steps to avoid trouble and I expect Georgia to be top or 2nd on the leader board.

Anita and Gleb will deliver, and I don't even want to think about Kevin From Grimsby at all.

I think Katie will be in trouble soon ....sadly .

Yes, I think so too, but I do think that when she forgets her steps and isn't able to wing it (i.e. hide it well enough from the judges) it doesn't help. Still, she should be in hold a lot this week so that might save any disasters.

I'm not sure what dances are outstanding for any of them, and that could play a big part in the next few weeks too.

i agree I think from here on in it's going to be down to who the judges favour ....I see it going something along the lines of ...Jamelia , Katy , Kellie, Peter ....but my dream evictee would be Jay  

Naughty, Baz    The poor lad's having a bad time of it (personally) AND getting flak from the judges who are being extremely rude and critical of him.  After witnessing Darcy wetting herself over Peter but ignoring the glaring mistakes he made....I know who I'd say they're favouring.

I want less hype and less over-marking; give me great dances & a good final.

(I think it's Georgia's to lose at this moment in time)  

Strictly Leader Board from Blackpool:

The Dance Off:

                                  Jamelia versus Peter

The result was.....

WEEK TEN: Songs & Dances

Anita and Gleb: Rumba to ‘Read All About It’ by Emelie Sande.

Georgia and Giovanni: Paso Doble to Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown’.

Helen and Aljaž: Viennese Waltz to ‘At Last’ by Etta James.

Jay and Aliona: Tango to Prince ‘When Doves Cry’.

Katie and Anton: Argentine Tango to Ástor Piazzolla’s ‘Libertango’.

Kellie and Kevin: Salsa to ‘I Want You Back’ by The Jackon 5.

Peter and Janette: American Smooth to ‘Sweetest Feeling’ by Jackie Wilson.

I predict that it wil be Peter and Kellie in the DO ......but I'm afraid it might be Katie  

I really don't know any more.  

What with the flakey judges and the moveable goalposts that they seem to be playing with, it could be anyone's guess.  K&K have quite a viewer friendly dance & song this week so that could save them, and Helen & Aljaz should breeze through with a VW to Etta.

Then again, there's less in the competition now and nerves could play a part.

I just wish I knew whether it's precision over content or vice versa that the judge's are basing their scores on.
