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

[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

[Kate!]

Leaving it there. I know I'm ranking correctly.

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah don't reveal rankings if your still part of the game

[Parmy]

Obviously very low then, even when it's beeen used 6 times world wide for a strictly Charleston..


I also don't see why revealing matters?

[Vanessa]

If they're not both megastars it will go straight to the bottom. I was refused a song because they weren't born megastars.

[Benjamin]

Who isn’t a megastar?

Exactly the vast majority are very famous imo

[Strictly Jake]

There doesn't need to be any arguing on a game. This is all it is, a game. I just want everyone to have an enjoyable time. People can rank however they want and people have always ranked fairly based on how it suits a them, how it suits a dance and personal enjoyment, everyone has always done it and it's what has worked really well, the fact it's all done anonymously and fairly.

It's not an argument Jake, it's just a discussion

I've seen how some of these discussions recently in games have gone. I'm just saying hopefully it doesn't turn into an argument

Hey don't look at me, I wasn't involved in any of those games

[Strictly Jake]

Also if people start saying what songs they didn't enjoy or who they don't think was a megastar etc that's gonna reveal how some rankings are gonna go and spoil the results

[Benjamin]

Oh yeah true haha.

Personally if Jake has accepted them, then it meets the criteria.

It all met the criteria and all dances matched the songs, I just wanted Whitney and Mariah when you believe tbh. At least Whitney and Mariah got a feature. And there was no Celine Dion! She's got a good number of duets in her locker.

Didn't Whitney and Mariah do a duet as well or am I mistaken?

Probably an unpopular opinion but I can not stand Celine Dions voice

Jake accepted the songs so it meets the criteria in my eyes.

I'm voting the same way.

It's not an unpopular opinion with me. She makes me want to claw my fingernails down my face.
