[Liam-]

Mich and Gio doing Whitney :love:

[Nicky91]

Chris and Karen doing Juice :love:
Mich and Gio doing Whitney :love:

Juice for a cha cha cha though :umm2:

[Strictly Jake]

Some great songs!

[Nicky91]

having to cha cha to lizzo :skull: and combine that with karen's joke choreo and chris's messy dancing (what he says of himself :hehe: )

[Ryebailey23]

Strange choice of song for tango

[Nicky91]

Strange choice of song for tango

James has a better more suitable tango song than Saffron, lips are movin is more cha cha


David's foxtrot song well quite Obvious it is a football song, i personally like it, and i also like the more quirky fun foxtrots so i hope it will be a fun performance


Dev's foxtrot song ouch, last used for edwina currie :fan:

[Strictly Jake]

Anneka and Kevin: Cha Cha Cha to Gloria by Laura Branigan

I love this song but I don't hold out much hope

Alex and Neil: Quickstep to I Get a Kick Out of You by Frank Sinatra

This seems average, guess they were connecting the word kick to her football career

Catherine and Johannes: Viennese Waltz to I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher

Boring


Emma and Anton: Jive to Honey Honey by ABBA

Good choice! Just hope it's not TOO cheesy. I'm guessing the connection is Honey(Honey Mitchell)

Emma and Aljaž: She's a Lady by Tom Jones

Works along the whole posh vibe I suppose, what's the dance though?

Michelle and Giovanni: So Emotional by Whitney Houston

What's the dance? I'm guessing she is gonna get all the pride classics through the series

Saffron and AJ: Tango to Lips Are Moving by Meghan Trainor

Hate this song, I think they will be quite high up that leaderboard though

Chris and Karen: Cha Cha Cha to Juice by Lizzo

Hmm not too sure on this

David and Nadiya: Foxtrot to Three Lions by Baddiel, Skinner and Lightning Seeds

Well I get the connection but I hate when they do songs like this

Dev and Dianne: Foxtrot to Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundations

It's so overused. But it will be cute

James and Luba: Tango to Gold by Spandau Ballet

Luba didn't seem too confident in him based on their interview on this morning... So it will be quite messy

Karim and Amy: Cha Cha Cha to If I Can't Have You by Shawn Mendes

Great choice

Kelvin and Oti: Samba to La Vida Es Un Carnaval by Celia Cruz

Will have to take a listen to this song as don't know it but I'm all here for this performance

Mike and Katya: Jive to Do You Love Me by The Contours

It's such an overused song. It worked for James on dancing on ice but this isn't gonna be a great performance

Will and Janette: Quickstep to Pencil Full of Lead by Paolo Nutini

Used by by LeatherTrumpet on the last series of strictly tibb dancing it will be pretty good

[Nicky91]

emma & aljaz have a cha cha, and that song suits a cha cha well

[Nicky91]

that might be Luba's strategy though, not appearing too confident rather than overconfidence ;) and hoping to positively surprise

[Strictly Jake]

that might be Luba's strategy though, not appearing too confident rather than overconfidence ;) and hoping to positively surprise

Yeah but they were discussing whether he can get to week 3 so that his son will be old enough to be allowed to watch in the audience and she said well she will try her best. Baring in mind noone leaves on week 1 she doesn't hold out much hope that he won't be first out

[Vanessa]

Love the song for Karim and Amy. I'm hoping this will be entertaining :love:

[Vanessa]

Great song choices overall. Can't wait for Saturday! I want to be entertained!

[RileyH]

nOT A TANGO TO LIPS ARE MOVIN

[Nicky91]

nOT A TANGO TO LIPS ARE MOVIN

it is a fine song choice for a Tango, and AJ has dealt with current songs a lot and he made most fit with the dance

like that Paso to shut up and dance for example

i can see them being top of leaderboard this first week
