lovely romantic and good waltz song choice for Lauren :love: :love:


Seann a tango to JT :facepalm:

[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

[Crimson Dynamo]

Very good choice for Faye there as that song lends itself beautifully to the cha cha :clap1:

and a modern song

Think Aj and the athlete lady have made a mistake by using an obscure song that wont be recognised :umm2: I think this reflects their bad chemistry as we have seen so far :ninja2:

Danny and Ami is bad too

Joe and Diane have picked a good song

[Crimson Dynamo]

it is a good song for a waltz, and Faye has the foxtrot not the cha cha ;)



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?

[Crimson Dynamo]

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

:fc:

[Nicky91]

Ashley & Pasha: Viennese Waltz to Perfect by Ed Sheeran featuring Beyonce good song choice
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 :love: :love:


Seann a tango to JT :facepalm:


my opinion of each song in bold

[Crimson Dynamo]

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


:facepalm:

[Crimson Dynamo]

even then with the cha cha cha it is a bad song choice, it suits charleston, quickstep, jive way more than that

no it does not

[Nicky91]

How much do you think Lauren will get

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

[Crimson Dynamo]

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

[Crimson Dynamo]

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


:love:

:love:

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 :love: :love:


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 :laugh2:

[Crimson Dynamo]

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

[Crimson Dynamo]

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

[Nicky91]

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

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 :hee:

[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 :love:

i bet he is still sore he did not get Ashley, his first pic

[Nicky91]

i bet he is still sore he did not get Ashley, his first pic

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 :D

[Crimson Dynamo]

cant wait for sat


:amazed:

[Nicky91]

me too LT :amazed:


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

[GoldHeart]

I always wondered why they now give some celebrities difficult dances to do first , Jive is usually after a few weeks and same goes for Tango , quickstep & Samba.

All those are complicated dances for a first show . I know they want to mix things up and make it more interesting but i think they're at a disadvantage .

Dances like Cha Cha , Waltz , Foxtrot & Viennese Waltz etc are far easier than the other dances i mentioned above .

I think Vicky and graziano can handle it. They might not do a perfect dance, but they will have fun with it.

[GoldHeart]

I think Vicky and graziano can handle it. They might not do a perfect dance, but they will have fun with it.

Yeah i think they'll do good aswell , but i still think it's like throwing some of them in the deep end with some of these more trickier dances FIRST .

[Morgan.]

Yeah i think they'll do good aswell , but i still think it's like throwing some of them in the deep end with some of these more trickier dances FIRST .

And it also means that if it's not done too well, then they've wasted their opportunity to do that dance well because they only really do each style once or maybe twice towards the end.

[Strictly Jake]

Oh so you do still exist :smug:

[Strictly Jake]

Very cheesy songs for Danny and Graeme. Everyone elses are pretty good

[Nicky91]

i feel nervous yet excited, and sorry for the negativity i had sent towards Faye, i will also give her a chance, and i'm having a feeling i might like her performance, since i already love that sigala paloma faith song

she isn't my fave but if i am nasty to other couples, well karma can only get back at me and my own faves, and i don't want that


so yeah that was all i wanted to say, i'm not a nasty negative person at heart, i just say random stupid things when i feel nervous or stressed

[GoldHeart]

And it also means that if it's not done too well, then they've wasted their opportunity to do that dance well because they only really do each style once or maybe twice towards the end.

It's happened a few times where a celebrity with potential gets booted first ,with bad scores because they got a tricky first dance and never got another chance . It's ashame really .

[Nicky91]

It's happened a few times where a celebrity with potential gets booted first ,with bad scores because they got a tricky first dance and never got another chance . It's ashame really .

or getting a horrible pro dancer like Gregg getting Aliona, who obviously didn't like him :sad:


luckily that never happened again now :hee:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Faye is good friends with 2 of the judges

[Nicky91]

Faye is good friends with 2 of the judges

be prepared to get the judges pet claims then for Faye :umm2:

[GoldHeart]

Faye is good friends with 2 of the judges

I bet Faye will still be popular despite possible favouritism

[Nicky91]

I bet Faye will still be popular despite possible favouritism

while she's basically the most dull steps member tbh :idc:

[GoldHeart]

while she's basically the most dull steps member tbh :idc:

I don't know if i'd say she's the dullest , we haven't see her do much in a while though .

[Nicky91]

I don't know if i'd say she's the dullest , we haven't see her do much in a while though .

yeah, not very smart i guess to fade away a bit then

and honestly i just prefer other steps members as my fave of the group

[Crimson Dynamo]

I bet Faye will still be popular despite possible favouritism

The GBP have taken her to their hearts already and the chemistry between her and her partner is really there

Now with a perfect song and choice of dance it could be top scores on saturday

[Nicky91]

Now with a perfect song and choice of dance it could be top scores on saturday

not what i'm reading on Dailymail though :fan: i'm reading several comments there, she's too showbiz, or she's full of herself


so not all of the GBP like her, while most do like my fave Lauren


and i don't really hope for my fave it will be immediately perfect, cause she needs to grow towards perfection :flutter:


as for Faye, i do hope she gets good constructive criticism as well, which she can work on for further dances
