Yes Jones unless maybe Jake gets all the songs in earlier and brings it forward. Which would be great.

And now that's just taken me right down a rabbit hole and km watching all the greasemania performances....then there was abbamania....and there was soapstar Superstar...lets dance for comic relief...Motown Mania
And Celebrity Stars in their eyes.....

We need a week like that....what can we class it as it would be so much fun!

[Strictly Jake]

And the albums always seemed to sell so well too didn't they...I always remember them being in the Brittania magazine/catalogue. Gosh that's a throwback I doubt many remember!

I don't think so we all have to rank the entries before someone gets kicked out

…I’m such an amateur at this game……but we can do the ranking first and then throw me out, I’m cool with that…

[Niamh.]

Very good, will get working on these in a sec

[Kate!]

Legends people LEGENDS??

Several songs don't meet the criteria.

[Niamh.]

He said "famous in their own right" I would say most of those are

He said.....

There still seems to be some confusion what the theme is.

It's mega star with mega star

Think Barbara Streisand and Whitney Houston. Type of song. They didn't actually do a song together I don't think but you get the just

I'm not meaning

David Guetta ft Alexandra Stan. Again that doesn't exist either

And he also said this, I would consider the vast majority of those artists as famous in their own right

Ok. I see that. But he said EQUALLY FAMOUS.

Well you're not going to get two who are exactly the same level of fame, as long as they're both famous I won't be marking them down anyway, but you do you

[Strictly Jake]

There were a lot of massive duets that have happened in music industry that could have been used. So a few of these choices I did think could have been a bit better. But it is what it is. At least all of the songs match the dances

Fine. Jake clearly clarified it as 2 megastars?

I asked him.

Bit rude. It's not me doing me? It's me marking according to the criteria and the suitability for the dance. Which is what i always do?

How was I rude? you made a declaration I disagreed with, are you the only one allowed to share your opinions now?

When you said "you do you". As if I'm doing it wrong?

I'm scoring on criteria and if it fits the dance??

That's what Jake expects us to do?

You're not gonna mark down if they don't fit the theme? Fine.

But that's not correct sorry. Jake just said above that choices could've been better.
