Well done everyone. I had a lovely time listening to all your songs. Bliss.

Docking a few points because the song doesn’t fit the theme exactly how you want it to yeah, understandable, 1 point even though the songs fits the dance perfectly is actually wild to me

I've survived again

It wasn't about it not fitting perfectly though. I think you can look through my scores and see that I judged each song on it's merits. Songs that I didn't particularly like were still given decent scores if they fit the brief.

[Cherie]

Thank you judges

waiting for Slim paid off

[The Slim Reaper]

Just a reminder that these songs exist.

I wanted to choose the Beatles Eleanor Rigby if I had an appropriate dance. But the randomised wheel gave me the jive

The Aretha version is perfect for the jive.

The theme was songs with names in the title, you decided to add your own rules to it, which fair enough whatever, a 1 for a song that fit the dance perfectly is mind boggling, even if it didn’t fit your personal extra rules for the theme

Damn. Didn't know it existed

[Niamh.]

None of the Beatles songs would have suited mine either

I agree.

I wouldn't have even given a 1 and I'm a very harsh judge.

I would have given a 1 just for effort and additional points on top based on the song and theme.

It fits the theme. Rose is a woman's name. And it was my favourite. So I gave it a 10.

As Cherie chose the theme for week 2 we go on who's the second on the leaderboard to choose the theme and that is Alf. So what's your choice of theme Alf?

I didn't add my own rules to it. Without Alf asking the question, I wouldn't have even given it a second thought. But then as soon as the rules were established what was i supposed to do? Same as Brexit week with Kaz using Nickys sister instead of Irish/British. As soon as Parm pointed it out, I agreed with the point being made.

But Rose is a woman's name. So it does fit the theme.

I had a random dream the other night about the Brexit week we had. And in the dream people were saying they had got Imelda may and Caro Emerald mixed up. I've only just remembered it now you mentioned it and I've forgot to look of Imelda may is Irish

Just done a Google and yes Imelda May is Irish. Hmm maybe that's why I let that song be used then as I got mixed up between Imelda and Caro

The point was a question was asked earlier if you can use a word that's both a persons name and has a different meaning if the meaning in the song isn't the persons name and Slim had said that he wasn't going to say that it fit the theme if it wasn't using the name meaning

Imelda was used in one of the other series under the Irish artist rounds

[Strictly Jake]

I must say I'm loving this series so far. We've only just had week 3 and that was all in the space of a week and there's been so much chatter regarding it. It's good to see
