lovely romantic and good waltz song choice for Lauren


Seann a tango to JT

[Nicky91]

odd cha cha song choice for Faye, would rather prefer that song for a charleston honestly

[Lewismacfarlane]

How much do you think Lauren will get

[LeatherTrumpet]

Very good choice for Faye there as that song lends itself beautifully to the cha cha

and a modern song

Think Aj and the athlete lady have made a mistake by using an obscure song that wont be recognised I think this reflects their bad chemistry as we have seen so far

Danny and Ami is bad too

Joe and Diane have picked a good song

[LeatherTrumpet]

bad Chemistry, they already have good Chemistry and it will develop more the longer we are in the competition

No its a worry I think, bad combo, maybe she would have been better with Anton?

[LeatherTrumpet]

Faye has picked a young fresh pop hit and this will breathe life into some of the faded fuddy-duddy song choices i feel

Dr Rani has picked a terrible song and I think he could be near the bottom

Charles & Karen: Cha Cha Cha to Ain't No Love (Ain't Not Use) by Sub Sub featuring Melanie Williams listened to it now, and it does suit the cha cha cha i guess
Danny & Amy: Foxtrot to Top Cat Theme by Hoyt Curtin it suits the show styled foxtrot i think
Dr Ranj & Janette: Cha Cha Cha to How Will I Know by Whitney Houston this song is more samba/salsa than cha cha, but maybe they are going for the fun performance, comedy duffer role
Faye & Giovanni: Cha Cha Cha to Lullaby by Sigala featuring Paloma Faith wrong song choice for foxtrot, it's more charleston song than the cha cha
Graeme & Oti: Samba to Soul Limbo by Booker T and The M.G.'s nice i guess, depends on performance
Joe & Dianne: Jive to Take On Me by A-Ha Gleb once said this song doesn't suit any dance style on the show, and that coming from Gleb with his showstopper performances
Kate & Aljaž: Cha Cha Cha to Kiss by Tom Jones gonna be a sexy cha cha i guess
Katie & Gorka: Waltz to When We Were Young by Adele could be a good waltz song choice but depends on Katie's nerves for the performance
Lauren & AJ: Waltz to I'm Kissing You by Des'ree love this song for a waltz, Abbey & Aljaz also danced their waltz (first dance) to this song
Lee & Nadiya: Waltz to Take It To The Limit by The Eagles i can remember dave myers having done a decent job with this song for the waltz, so it gives me hope for Lee to do the same
Seann & Katya: Tango to SexyBack by Justin Timberlake cringefest song choice, i dislike this song so much
Stacey & Kevin: Quickstep to Dancing by Kylie Minogue a bit slow for quickstep, so they gotta speed it up
Susannah & Anton: Samba to Tico Tico by Carmen Miranda traditional samba song choice, shame it's wasted on anton's weak latin and injured susannah
Vick & Graziano: Jive to Feel It Still by Portugal. The Man good Jive song choice



lovely romantic and good waltz song choice for Lauren


Seann a tango to JT

my opinion of each song in bold

[LeatherTrumpet]

Faye & Giovanni: Cha Cha Cha to Lullaby by Sigala featuring Paloma Faith wrong song choice for foxtrot, it's more charleston song than foxtrot

they are not doing a foxtrot

[LeatherTrumpet]

no it does not

i hope for honest and decent scoring, so if they do well 7's might be a good start to her journey i think

[LeatherTrumpet]

Looks like the Cha Cha Cha was the best option for week one especially for the beginners. Smart choice and one the public will take too.

faye tozer first steps is up


and it also seemed her and gio had fun today, well i wouldn't go and have fun while doing a difficult dance as the cha cha, with it's complicated technique but still nice they had a good laugh i guess


and btw LT, Faye does get along well with Lauren & AJ, who she had went to training with a few times now, on sunday first training day, and also now with Lauren back in training after triathlon world cup, where she became world champions at


so yeah if Faye impresses me with this cha cha, i will be positive towards her

[LeatherTrumpet]

Such grace and humour and I love the relationship here, its fun and light and happy, so so positive

This will be a joy to watch on Saturday, Faye is shaping up to be a tremendous asset to the show

same for me, and the song for Faye does suit her then i guess, since it's a quite happy positive song, i have listened to that for like a lot of times, it will be interesting if Gio can make this a cha cha worthy song, and a fun performance

Danny & Amy, Lauren & AJ are also having fun in training


Lauren even bringing her clean clothes from the washing machine to dry near where they are practicing, she had missed that chore while she was away in Australia too

[LeatherTrumpet]

Ashley also looking good

[Nicky91]

Ashley is a good dancer yes, but i'm doubting that the GBP can take to an american diva on this show, fine examples are Anastacia and Michelle Williams both americans who also didn't go far on strictly

The GBP are used to seeing Ashley and her humour on Saturday Night Takeaway so she will be liked

[Nicky91]

could be possible but if we look back at past american contestants on strictly, things aren't looking that good for her though


i for example compare Lauren to Jonnie, as he's a fellow paralympian and he was well liked and got to blackpool, i think Lauren has got more potential than him, likely to be this years possible journey contestant

[Nicky91]

if Faye was dancing with AJ i would've stanned Faye yes, but also Lauren since i can relate a lot to her, we handicapped got to stick up for each other and i admire her strength that she wants to be treated like anyone of us

[Nicky91]

love the positivity in this tweet

no not at all, here with Lauren he can be a good teacher, and she's a good student


she loves improving from criticism, which she also does in the triathlon


she at first was dreading the waltz, but it seems they get along really well and her trying something new

[LeatherTrumpet]

cant wait for sat

[Nicky91]

me too LT


and then on sunday i will give my honest feedback and scores for every couple on here
