Strictly Tibb Dancing: Celebrity Edition(Christmas Special)

[jones89]

Yeah that was hard to rate those, all really good and i also found my new favourite song so thanks also to that person hahaa

[Cherie]

For anyone who has sent can you give me the list of songs and dances please, I am too tired to copy and paste 10 of them

[Benjamin]

I can. I’ll remove my order and add myself in so you don’t know who I voted where. :tongue:

[Benjamin]

I rejigged my order too so you don’t know who I placed where. ;)

[Alf]

Some good choices.

Just got in from work. I'll rank shortly when I get showered and settled with a beer.

[Strictly Jake]

Thanks everyone so far. Very speedy

[Alf]

Thanks everyone so far. Very speedyI think we need to slow down a bit if we want to get to Christmas week.

[Benjamin]

I think we need to slow down a bit if we want to get to Christmas week.

We could always do Xmas week early hahaha.

[Alf]

We could always do Xmas week early hahaha.Christmas week would be perfect for the final. I think whoever makes it to the final gets two dances to choose, so a Christmas one would be good for the final.

[Benjamin]

Christmas week would be perfect for the final. I think whoever makes it to the final gets two dances to choose, so a Christmas one would be good for the final.

How many of us are left 11? And 3 in the final week?

If so the pace is actually well as if you lose one person every 4 days that would roughly take you through to the week before Christmas.

[Alf]

How many of us are left 11? And 3 in the final week?

If so the pace is actually well as if you lose one person every 4 days that would roughly take you through to the week before Christmas.I just hope I'm there. I've finished runner-up twice. I need this victory. Pray for me.

[Benjamin]

I just hope I'm there. I've finished runner-up twice. I need this victory. Pray for me.

Runner-up twice! I feel your pain, I’ve finished runner up in a couple of games before. Twice though is unlucky. :fc: for you (if I don’t win).

[Kazanne]

Will have to send mine in morning

[Alf]

I know we can't say much. But for the last two rounds, my top points has gone to the same person. So whoever you are. Well done.

[Cherie]

I rejigged my order too so you don’t know who I placed where. ;)


Thank you x

[Barry.]

Will send tomorrow

[Strictly Jake]

If you wish to send me your song for the next theme go ahead as you won't be sent a dance, everyone has couples choice. Think of what music artist might inspire your celebrity that they would want to dance to, medleys and mashups are allowed

Take this as an example of what I'm looking for

:amazed: I'll get onto this today

[Benjamin]

It doesn’t have to be a mega mix though? Like a mash up between say 2/3 songs by diff artists with one being the main artist would be acceptable?).

I’ve not chosen yet, just don’t want to go down the wrong road if I choose that road. :laugh:

[Kate!]

Sent mine.

I'd say it's probably better to just stick to the one artist.

Barry!

Thanks for playing Barry!

[Strictly Jake]

I didn't wait for Barry to do his rankings as wasn't sure when he would be around and it was obvious he was going to finish last.

I've asked him to put his rankings on this main page as it will still be interesting to see what it would be

[Kate!]

Ahh commiserations Baz

[Cherie]

Bad luck Baz :sad:

[Benjamin]

Wow that was close at the top! Thought it would be this week.

Sorry to see you go Barry.

[Vanessa]

Aw sorry Barry. I liked every single one of those songs. Which is why it was so hard to rank.
Excellent work everyone.

[Alf]

So the next round is, just choose any song you want that's ever existed?

[Strictly Jake]

So the next round is, just choose any song you want that's ever existed?

Nope, you have to think about a music artist that inspires the celebrity you are playing as, a quick Google search might reveal who your celebrity is in to, and if there's a medley of songs by that artist on YouTube then even better but if it's just one song that's fine too. I've had a few good ones so far. But think of an iconic artist basically that you could put on an amazing performance to

[Kate!]

Jake do we say why we chose the song?

[Benjamin]

Jake do we say why we chose the song?

I guess as long as it’s likely they are an icon of your celebrity you don’t need to? I didn’t.

Like for example if somebody had Marilyn Manson (obvs nobody does) his music idol is unlikely to be ABBA :laugh:

[Alf]

I guess as long as it’s likely they are an icon of your celebrity you don’t need to? I didn’t.

Like for example if somebody had Marilyn Manson (obvs nobody does) his music idol is unlikely to be ABBA :laugh:What if your artists icons are only Slipknot? Hardly a good artist for a Strictly dancing song.

[Benjamin]

What if your artists icons are only Slipknot? Hardly a good artist for a Strictly dancing song.

I’d love to see that on Strictly haha :laugh:

[jones89]

Ok so i couldn’t send you 2 or 3 seperate songs then? Would need to be an actual medley/mash up?

[Livia]

Where am I going to find a Rockbitch mash up?

[Benjamin]

Where am I going to find a Rockbitch mash up?

You could just record your own for us. :lovedup:

[Livia]

You could just record your own for us. :lovedup:

No... For two reasons. I have a voice like an air raid siren and I'm not taking my pants off, not even for you Ben x

[Benjamin]

No... For two reasons. I have a voice like an air raid siren and I'm not taking my pants off, not even for you Ben x

:fist:

Not you ruining the round

[Livia]

:fist:

Not you ruining the round

I'm not a fan of emoticons but that one always makes me laugh.

[Beso]

I'm away for a game of golf.

[Vanessa]

Haven't done this yet. I'm at work. Will have a look later.

[Strictly Jake]

Ok so i couldn’t send you 2 or 3 seperate songs then? Would need to be an actual medley/mash up?

Yeah either one song or a medley that's already been made

[Strictly Jake]

Does everyone even like this theme or is it a bit tricky? I can change it if needed

[Benjamin]

Does everyone even like this theme or is it a bit tricky? I can change it if needed

I don’t mind the theme. I guess it’s hard for mega mix though as I guess not every artist has one.

[Kate!]

I love the theme

[Kate!]

Besides..if you change the theme now I've chosen and sent my song? That won't be great.

[Strictly Jake]

Ok we shall stick with the theme.

[Benjamin]

Besides..if you change the theme now I've chosen and sent my song? That won't be great.

Oh maybe we should change it then. :smug:

[Kate!]

Oh maybe we should change it then. :smug:

No.

[jones89]

I don’t mind the theme. I guess it’s hard for mega mix though as I guess not every artist has one.

Yeah and if they do they’re like 10+ minutes long :joker: but i do like the theme, i’m gonna roll with it

[Benjamin]

Yeah and if they do they’re like 10+ minutes long :joker: but i do like the theme, i’m gonna roll with it

Yeah trying to find one not ten - twenty mins long was a little harder. I almost went with one which I was going to specify the times on to keep it around 3/4 mins. Nobody got time for longer :joker:

[AnnieK]

Sent.....had tobtry and find something that fot that wasn't ridiculously long

[Benjamin]

Sent.....had tobtry and find something that fot that wasn't ridiculously long

Good luck with your cheeky girls mega mix :fc:

[Strictly Jake]

To make things easier if people want to use mashups that use other artists or songs in them I'll still accept that. Its a tricky them. May as well call it medleys and mashups week as that probably makes more sense. So it's medleys and mashups week of the celebrities iconic artists.

[AnnieK]

Good luck with your cheeky girls mega mix :fc:

Get out of my pms you :fist:

[Benjamin]

In terms of ranking a mega mix I’m not sure how to do that. :laugh:

Anyone got any pointers?

[Benjamin]

Get out of my pms you :fist:

No :smug:

[AnnieK]

No :smug:

:joker:

[Benjamin]

Omg the cheeky girls actually have a mega mix :laugh3:

[Kate!]

In terms of ranking a mega mix I’m not sure how to do that. :laugh:

Anyone got any pointers?

I'm gonna rank them on how well I can imagine them as a really good dance performance for the celebrity.

[jones89]

I near passed out there. Thought i sent Ben my song :joker:

[Benjamin]

I'm gonna rank them on how well I can imagine them as a really good dance performance for the celebrity.

Ok, that helps me more.

[Benjamin]

I near passed out there. Thought i sent Ben my song :joker:

Hahaha I panicked in the last round as I thought I’d sent my song to Kate :joker:

[Kate!]

Hahaha I panicked in the last round as I thought I’d sent my song to Kate :joker:

:joker: I'd have been mortified voting armed with any knowledge of who is who. I'd have felt so bad ranking low if I knew who anyone was since I love you all and know you've made effort.

[Barry.]

I shall not reveal my placements as it wouldn’t be fair but just know, everyone did great last round. Good luck all

[Benjamin]

:joker: I'd have been mortified voting armed with any knowledge of who is who. I'd have felt so bad ranking low if I knew who anyone was since I love you all and know you've made effort.

Yeah I like not knowing who is who. It actually keeps it fairer. Not saying anyone wouldn’t be fair, but takes off the internal bias we may all have.

[Benjamin]

I shall not reveal my placements as it wouldn’t be fair but just know, everyone did great last round. Good luck all

:love:

Good luck in your future endeavours Barry. You get that dance contract and prove us all wrong. :love:

[Alf]

I've got absolutely nothing and I mean nothing.

[Benjamin]

I've got absolutely nothing and I mean nothing.

Jake says you can use mash ups too (of a couple of artists) if you’re struggling.

[Kate!]

I've got absolutely nothing and I mean nothing.

Pick an artist you can imagine your celeb dancing to and then type the artists name followed by mashups into YouTube. Alf

[AnnieK]

Nope, you have to think about a music artist that inspires the celebrity you are playing as, a quick Google search might reveal who your celebrity is in to, and if there's a medley of songs by that artist on YouTube then even better but if it's just one song that's fine too. I've had a few good ones so far. But think of an iconic artist basically that you could put on an amazing performance to

I read this as it can be one song and doesn't have to be a medley/mashup

[Strictly Jake]

Right I think there's been quite a bit of confusion with this theme so what I will say it is, is...

It's couples choice week. Pick an iconic artist that your celebrity would enjoy dancing to. It can be one song, as long as it's an iconic song by an iconic HUGE artist. If you would like to use a mashup or a medley that is allowed

Now if you want to keep your song let me know. However now I've made the theme more clear should you wish to change it let me know. There is no rush for your songs.

But I must stress

ICONS!

[Strictly Jake]

So for example if I was a player on this

I would probably choose Rihanna as my icon. And because she's got so many amazing songs I have gone with this medley. But using just one of her tracks as long as it was a good one would also be fine

I would choose this
p9Ygppti7YI

[Strictly Jake]

Think Superbowl and Award shows level of performance!!

[Benjamin]

So for example if I was a player on this

I would probably choose Rihanna as my icon. And because she's got so many amazing songs I have gone with this medley. But using just one of her tracks as long as it was a good one would also be fine

I would choose this
p9Ygppti7YI

Rhi :lovedup:

[Strictly Jake]

Next week will be around the world theme. I'm going to post examples of the dances that will be given here so you know how they would TRADITIONALLY look. However this is strictly, so we can be a bit looser with the song choices. As long as your song has been covered on YouTube with a bit of a different sound whether it be the instruments used instead or sang in a different language it works.

Urgh YouTube is not working for me. I found the perfect music, but the video won't load :bawling:

[Vanessa]

What error does it give you?

When I play the video there's a circle. But it doesn't play.

[Benjamin]

When I play the video there's a circle. But it doesn't play.

Not on the app. I had to go on my browser. But not all the videos play.

[Benjamin]

Hmm are you logged in? Try logging out and clearing browsing history and cookies. Make sure to keep the link somewhere so you know where to find the song again.

Ok I'll try that. Thank you.

[Benjamin]

Ok I'll try that. Thank you.

If not try send the link to Jake as it may work for him

[Cherie]

How many killer votes do we get, keep forgetting to use them :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Phone is working again. Yay

[Strictly Jake]

How many killer votes do we get, keep forgetting to use them :laugh:

Everyone gets 3 each but they must be used before the quarter final stage. So there's only four shows now they can be used on. With that information I can see everyone using killer votes this week

[Benjamin]

Has anyone used any yet/ on who!?

[Strictly Jake]

Has anyone used any yet/ on who!?

Yes some have been used. I won't reveal too much!

[Vanessa]

Good morning guys. Raining here.

[Kate!]

Jake? Did you do your rankings? Or have I overlooked them... xx

[Livia]

I think this round has been the most difficult so far. Sent though...

[Strictly Jake]

Jake? Did you do your rankings? Or have I overlooked them... xx

So here are my rankings for Jungle Week

1. Kylie and Vito(Hanuman) This was a very risky song choice as noone will have heard of it. I for sure also hasn't heard of what a Hanuman was so also a risk. As it turns out to be a monkey it works. I love traditional music being used for a paso Doble. This was my favourite

2. Emma and Nikita(Eye of the tiger) I love the fact that another version of a well known song was used and matched the tango perfectly!

3. Michelle and Gorka(Jungle Fever) I like most of pitbulls songs however I've never heard this one before. It was perfect for a Salsa

4. Mutya and Johannes(Love Cats) Again this is a song I haven't heard before, it was a brave choice and I think it really paid off!

5. Holly and Kai(Jungle in my heart) again a song I've never heard but that I really really enjoyed. Genius!

6. Danny and Michelle(Dancing Shoes) using artic monkeys was a good choice, but using a different version of the song was also a great idea. Really suited the Samba!

7. Dwayne and Nadiya(Black Widow) first street dance of the season, pairing with a jungle theme is a difficult task, I applaud the person who chose this as their job was a tricky one. Just not overly keen on the song but it definitely worked

8. Jennifer and Alijaz(Run through the jungle) I don't know if this really suited the dance but I appreciated the originality of it!

9. Leona and Carlos(Crocodile Rock) I have put this low on my rankings as it was an iconic dance by Caroline and Pasha on strictly. I prefer when songs are used that haven't been used on strictly. But yeah it suits the Jive

10. Alan and Dianne(I wanna be like you) for the same reason as above it was used on strictly before, also it's an obvious choice, however it really does suit the Charleston

11. Graham and Jowita(Animal I have become) I appreciate the out of the box thinking but it doesn't really suit the Quickstep. I can understand why it came bottom of the leaderboard this week.

[Strictly Jake]

I think this round has been the most difficult so far. Sent though...

I made it tricky with the theme. I made a lot of people confused. I apologise for that. There are some great choices through though so let's just all see what happens with the show. I shall put the show up later today

[Strictly Jake]

Welcome to round 4 of Strictly Celebrity Tibb Dancing. This week all of our couples will be taking on a couples choice routine and dancing to either a Song or a [I] Medley or Mashup [/l] by some of their most beloved ICONS Some have even provided us with a story of why their icon means so much to them.

3hXxUfCCIvw

[Strictly Jake]

Typing mine up in a pm now. Was easier than I thought it would be, but was still very tough to give anyone a 1. Great effort all.

[Strictly Jake]

Thanks for your rankings so far

I posted the world dances a couple of pages back on the thread. Check them out if you haven't already. Well there's a twist with the results this week...whoever gets to the top of the leaderboard gets to choose which world dance they take on, then the one in second place chooses, then the one on third places chooses and so on. So you really don't want to be second to last on the leaderboard this week as you will be dancing whatever dance is left.....

Here you go everyone

[Strictly Jake]

Obviously you all can't choose your dance on the main thread. So I will be messaging you all to arrange this. Please be swift with your replies when I message you.

[Benjamin]

Are you waiting for many rankings?

[Strictly Jake]

Are you waiting for many rankings?

Three of them. I think they will send back today. So you should all be able to start choosing your dances tonight

[Benjamin]

Perfect. I’m heading away for a funeral tomorrow (the funeral is Friday). So if I’m still in just giving you a heads up.

[Benjamin]

Three of them. I think they will send back today. So you should all be able to start choosing your dances tonight

Jake, for your ease would it be better if we sent you our preferred order of the dances? Then you haven’t got to wait for each of us to be online to say which we prefer?

That way you can assign the dances based on our order? Does that make sense?

[Kate!]

Jake, for your ease would it be better if we sent you our preferred order of the dances? Then you haven’t got to wait for each of us to be online to say which we prefer?

That way you can assign the dances based on our order? Does that make sense?

Great idea

[Vanessa]

Sorry. I'll do this now.

[Strictly Jake]

Jake, for your ease would it be better if we sent you our preferred order of the dances? Then you haven’t got to wait for each of us to be online to say which we prefer?

That way you can assign the dances based on our order? Does that make sense?

Yeah good idea. It might take just as long anyway but yeah can everyone do that then?

[Vanessa]

This was the hardest to rank. As they're all AMAZING song choices.

[Cherie]

Do you mind if I wait to see if I am still in before I choose, I promise to send back quickly if I am Jake?

[Kate!]

Do you mind if I wait to see if I am still in before I choose, I promise to send back quickly if I am Jake?

Same please.

[Livia]

Do you mind if I wait to see if I am still in before I choose, I promise to send back quickly if I am Jake?

Me too.

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah if everyone else wanted to wait that's fine. Benjamin's sent me his preferred list as he will be going away

[Vanessa]

I'll wait as well.

[Livia]

Yeah if everyone else wanted to wait that's fine. Benjamin's sent me his preferred list as he will be going away

I'm still happy to take what I'm given.

[Benjamin]

I'm still happy to take what I'm given.

You’ve been given drunk dad at a wedding dance.

[Livia]

You’ve been given drunk dad at a wedding dance.



The joke's in you Ben. Drunk dad at a wedding is right up my strasse.

[Beso]

I didnt threaten Jake btw..he went all dramatic... sone people cant take a joke sometimes.

Cant believe tiger woods transforming into a werewolf as he jived his way through a moonlit park with his sweetheart didnt win the voters over.


Amazed I got tiger as well out of all those other celebs, slightly unlucky for me being the only vocal golfer on TIBB, that plays this game.

[Kate!]

Are all the rankings in?

[Benjamin]

Good luck everyone

[Vanessa]

Yes good luck. That was the hardest round to rank. Genuinely liked every single entry.

[Benjamin]

Yes good luck. That was the hardest round to rank. Genuinely liked every single entry.

I surprisingly found that the easiest round to rank :laugh:

[Vanessa]

I surprisingly found that the easiest round to rank :laugh:

I would have put them all 1st

[Kate!]

I'm nervous. Anyone could go. The standard was so high.

[Benjamin]

I feel this week the final rankings are mostly wrong in my opinion.

[Vanessa]

No problem. Good luck everyone who is left.

[Strictly Jake]

No problem. Good luck everyone who is left.

You've done so well. I still love your The shining Foxtrot!!

[AnnieK]

Aw Vanessa, sorry to see you go

[Benjamin]

I’m interested to see Jake’s rankings now. :laugh:

[Kate!]

Awwww noooooo Vanessa :bawling:

[jones89]

Good Job Vanessa! :dance:

[Alf]

Hard luck Vanessa.

You topped my vote in both week 2 and 3

[Alf]

You've done so well. I still love your The shining Foxtrot!!It was genius.

[Vanessa]

It was genius.

Aw glad you liked it

[Vanessa]

Hard luck Vanessa.

You topped my vote in both week 2 and 3

Did I? Oh wow thank you

[Alf]

Are we getting our dances sent for the next round?

[Kate!]

Are we getting our dances sent for the next round?

No not this round Alf. Jake wants us to take turns in choosing our dances from a list. He will be messaging us in turn in the order we placed in the rankings for the last round. So the higher each person scored the higher choices they'll have of which dance to pick.

[Kate!]

Next week will be around the world theme. I'm going to post examples of the dances that will be given here so you know how they would TRADITIONALLY look. However this is strictly, so we can be a bit looser with the song choices. As long as your song has been covered on YouTube with a bit of a different sound whether it be the instruments used instead or sang in a different language it works.


I will let you know what dances you have been given but these will be the nine dances


Ribbon Dance from China
bBX5GU1S2Sg


Shaku Shaku Dance from Africa
njAqgkd7Kaw


Bharatanatyam from India
JWhA3ldZcyY


Polka from Poland
qJkxFzr3DM0


Tinikling from Philippines
_WLfqDMwA_o


Raqs Sharqi from Egypt
cuBXIRCB8jE


Riverdance from Ireland

[Kate!]

[Benjamin]

Has the dance selection started?

[Kate!]

I've done that.

[Cherie]

Bad luck Ness, loved the song

How many killer votes this round Jake?

[Cherie]

Some very questionable rankings there :joker:

Killer votes could have played a part though :fist:

[Strictly Jake]

Bad luck Ness, loved the song

How many killer votes this round Jake?

Alan Carr and Leona Lewis used one of theirs each

[Vanessa]

Bad luck Ness, loved the song

How many killer votes this round Jake?

Oh thank you. Yes, I wondered that.

[jones89]

I’m so scared to say anything incase i reveal something :joker: my brain ain’t working today

[jones89]

:joker::joker::joker:

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah can everyone be careful please

[Strictly Jake]

Noone ask anything about their dance on here, ask when they are getting their dance or tell me that have sent me a dance until I confirm all dances have been sent out

[AnnieK]

I'm not sure I get this round. When we have chosen a dance, we have to choose a song that fits that dance. Is that right?

[Vanessa]

Maybe ask via pm.

[Strictly Jake]

I'm not sure I get this round. When we have chosen a dance, we have to choose a song that fits that dance. Is that right?

Yes when everyone has chosen their dance I will confirm it on here. That's when you can all start looking for songs that will match your dance, try and be a bit imaginative, and send me them as normal via pm

[Strictly Jake]

My rankings for week 4
9. Leona and Carlos- Britney is definitely iconic in fact I'm hoping to be able to sign her up for a future series of this! Her songs are amazing and I can totally imagine a brilliant strictly routine to this choice

8. Holly and Kai- Christina is also one of my favourite icons. I think this would have made Holly stand out for sure!

7. Kylie and Vito- Kylie meets Madonna what more can be said!?! I really thought this would be top of the leaderboard this week I'm not sure why it didn't do better?

6. Emma and Nikita- I love little mix. I also think Emma dancing to Little Mix would be lovely. So it's high up there in my rankings.

5. Dwayne and Nadiya- Elvis is one of the biggest icons of all time. I can imagine Dwayne delivering one of his best performances with this

4. Michelle and Gorka- Again Lady GaGa is definitely an icon. Brilliant job.

3. Alan and Dianne- Quite a good mashup but it didn't wow me like the others did

2. Jennifer and Alijaz- I didn't think this mashup blended well and I really really wanted more for Jennifer. Jennifer really needs to step it up. She's Jennifer Aniston for goodness sake!

1. Danny and Michelle- I understand how this finished last. The who are icons but I just cant imagine this being a wow performance, sorry!

[Vanessa]

We all have different taste in music and to me it doesn't get more iconic than that song. I've always thought so and that won't change.

[Strictly Jake]

That's very true Vanessa.

[Strictly Jake]

To confirm everyone now has their dance. So everyone gets funding their chosen track to go along with that they have
