I'm ready for a proper shock DO this week.

same! i mean, we know montell will be there but i kinda worry for tasha looking at the songs. chris has a showstopper, sarah has a fun number to a show that’s everywhere right now, pete has a lovely waltz to a truly gorgeous song… tasha is dancing to one of the weakest songs from six which doesn’t fit an AT and aljaz may be dressed as sexy henry viii.

(edit: realised that i completely forgot that jb is even there 😬)
 
I think it will be Montell (rumba kiss of death) vs JB (everybody's sick to death of Mary Poppins and this feels like his millionth Viennese Waltz)

Tasha really seems to have quite a big chunk of the vote so I think she'll stay out of the dance off, especially considering her fanbase is mainly young women and teen girls who love Six.

Chris and Pete will be fine, voters love them. Sarah will be fine too.

Songs are out


🎭Montell and Johannes Rumba to I’m Here from The Color Purple
🎭Sarah and Vito Charleston to Popular from Wicked
🎭Tasha and Aljaz Argentine Tango to Ex-Wives from SIX
🎭Chris and Dianne Quickstep to You’re The Top from Anything Goes
🎭JB and Lauren Viennese Waltz to Let’s Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins
🎭Pete and Jowita Waltz to Somewhere from West Side Story

No huge surprises. Montell rumba could be a problem for her. I don't think Popular is a great Charleston song but maybe they'll speed it up?

Yet again Sarah gets the good dance / song choice.

A fellow “why don’t you be Scary Spice again?” over here too. I felt so much resentment towards Mel B for years because I never got to be anyone but Scary!

I always wanted to be Posh Spice… but alas I had blonde hair 😢

I’m fed up now of themed weeks this year, it’s been an overdose!

Omg yes I always wanted to be VB! 1997 me desperately wanted that sleek bob, but I just had a massive head of curls.

Maybe they should ditch musicals for. Spice Girls theme, but only solo songs. Time for This Groove to be recognised for the absolute masterpiece it is.

I think the dance off will be JB and Montell. Tasha with have a scoreboard cushion and the other two have struggled for votes before.

I haven't seen Six so I just went and looked this song up on Youtube. Why the hell are they using this as an AT?!

On the topic of Montell's song, I don't think it really fits a Rumba musically or lyrically. I saw somewhere (maybe it was here) apparently the cast write down 5 songs they want to dance to do so maybe she put that down? Also, Cynthia Erivo has said this is the hardest song she's sung so I'm not really looking forward to the singers destroying it.

And destroy it they will 😭

As soon as I saw Montells song I cringed- its was either gonna be that, dreamgirls or sister act.
I thinks shes got the least well known song too which is a big disadvantage.

she has :( and how are they even going to STYLE it knowing what that musical is about. though i guess they did have stacey dooley full 😄 to i dreamed a dream so we know they don’t really pay much attention to the theme 🤣
 
I am here for this week's song choice for Tasha and Aljaz.

Argentine Tango to Ex-Wives from SIX

I am so channelling it to be dedicated to Janette. 🤭

A sweet whisper of 'For Janette' at the start and both say 'For Janette' at the end, when Alijaz is about hot smooch Tasha. Well as hot as Alijaz can manage. 😂 If he's not panting like a dragon.

Aljaz dedicating a song to his very live little girl when the song is about a family bereavement is just odd, very odd. Also as we all say it is about the celebs not the pro and he made that about himself.

I do think that the attention seeking by pros has really ramped up lately. Some of them are getting quite desperate with their constantly making it all about them, and all that tedious “comedy” arsing about in the Clauditorium. I wish they’d knock it off.

same: (a) because i love that show and she was my absolute least favourite contestant (maybe in my bottom five ever) and (b) that king kev choreographed it to be some kind of beautiful stepping into the light song when it is a tragedy. don’t even get me started 🤣

it was beaten only by her showdance, which was absolutely shocking.

Honourable mention to her revolting paso. When Jamie and Michelle's music was announced I saw some people moan that it was "Stacey's music" as if it was some kind of iconic moment❔❔ it was also Chelsee's and Anita's music, both a million times better. Ugh how that insufferable woman won against my legends Faye and Ashley, I'll never reconcile. Even Joe Sugg was better!

the rage is still within me yin! i would have taken any other finalist that year - i still can’t believe she won based on….. well i still don’t know on what (the kev factor?) i know the best dancer never wins but they’re usually at least justifiably in the final 🤣 (and the fact that she was there when charles wasn’t 😠)
