I thought it was a great theme and am looking forward to seeing the songs, if Amy doesn't want her posted, but wants to stay just don't have a vote this week and do a double next week? you can still post the other songs, stories and scores and just Amys scores and song but no story

[Amy Jade]

You can post the song but please do not post the reasoning. If people I classed as friends call it a sob story you can guarantee it will be used against me at some point.

[Denver]

Nobody sees your story as a sob story at all

As I have already said nothing to do with points. I don't care if you gave me a zero it's the fact people's experiences were called sob stories.

[Cherie]

Can we draw a line under this now please?

[Amy Jade]

Don't want to keep talking about this anyway, please nobody post about why I chose my song. I am uncomfortable with it being posted - by all means post the song and scores along with any comments by judges but not what I wrote.

[Morgan.]

It was a good theme but having personal experiences was touchy, especially as people chose really Heartfelt ones.

I think I even said in some of the reasons, I didn't like a majority of the songs but some of them I gave high scores to because I felt bad saying someones personal memory is only worth a 3, for example.

Amy I'm pretty sure I know which one was yours and it was one of the ones which I liked the story to, and the song. If it wasn't, then it doesn't matter because what does matter is that you still have these memories.

It's just extremely hard for contestants not to take scores personally, when the songs are about personal memories.

[hijaxers]

Well i won't be taking anything personally , if i'm out so be it, i've enjoyed it.

Shakey you have run a great game so as Cherie said lets just draw a line under it and enjoy .

[Nicky91]

Thank you for most I don't think they mind if their song is not liked because it is down to personal choice at the end of the day so no worries

[Strictly Jake]

Welcome to week 6. It certainly has been a rocky week. But let's get on with the show. The theme this week is this is your life where the contestants chose songs that have special meaning to them. Lets get started


Dance 1: A Cha Cha by Cherie and Pasha

Youtube video

Story:
I love this song, it reminds me of when I at school, looking forward to the weekend, listening to 80s classics helped make doing my homework so much easier

Dance 2: A rumba by RileyH and Dianne (yes RileyH is back!)

Youtube video

Story:
I used to belt this song out everywhere as a child and it was my nana's favourite song and she died like 10 years ago so everytime I hear it now it reminds me of her

Dance 3: Street Dance by LeatherTrumpet and Nadiya

Youtube video

Story:
This song reminds me of when I was working at an old peoples home while a student and each Friday I would run a Disco for the old people and I would always start my banging set with this and it would bring the house down, relatively) and some people even would get out their chairs to dance and ones that had been asleep would wake up and shout loudly. It was a great time and even though by the end of my year there every one had died or transferred to the Dementia ward id like to think that this song and my set of house music brought a little ray of sunshine in the autumn of their lives. As a side note on my last gig i was nearly elecrocuted when some of my speaker wires landed in a pool of urine and the left one exploded. But this song brings back happy memories for me

Dance 4: American Smooth by Montblanc and Artem

Youtube video

Story:
Takes me back to summer 2008 which is what I'd consider the best summer and possibly year of my life

Dance 5: Quickstep by Kazanne and Giovanni

Youtube video

Story:
It's probably not very exciting but This song reminds me of my dad who has now passed so it's really special to me, dad used to play this all the time,he loved Creedence,he used to dance to it with me (Well try to) I was about 9, He used to mimic being in the band,They brought our first video recorder when they first came out and dad brought home a video to watch, American Werewolf in London,I wasn't allowed to watch it at the time but my brother and I snook a sneaky look one day and loved it,lol and yes there was that music by this band with a name I could never remember,over the years I got to hear some of their other stuff,the singer has a great voice and I have always loved their music and when I hear it now it takes me right back to those days dad danced with me ,and we had happy days,dad passed away a few years ago, he had a song by them called 'Lodi' played at his funeral another lovely song ,so for me this song reminds me of my dad and happy childhood days, when mom and I ever hear this it makes us smile

Dance 6: Argentine Tango by Hijaxers and Gorka

Youtube video

Story:
Leonard Cohen has been my mindful hero since i was 15 and i would urge everyone to read the words to his music, every time i'm feeling low this song lifts me back to fantastic moments , even if they are gone .

Dance 7: Foxtrot by Niamh and Alijaz

Youtube video

Story:
just after my husband proposed to me in the garden, we came inside to tell the kids and they were watching Willy Wonka on tv and Pure Imagination on TV, so that became our song and we decided to have it as our first dance song

Dance 8: Contempary by Amy Jade and AJ
