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.

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.

[Time to Sleigh]

Yeah can everyone be careful please

[Time to Sleigh]

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

[Candy Annie Cane]

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?

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Maybe ask via pm.

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

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!

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

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.

That's very true Vanessa.

[Time to Sleigh]

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