Strictly Come Dancing 2015: Week 11


Georgia & Giovanni - Foxtrot - "Beauty & the Beast"
1. Gio - gorgeous, hated Georgia's dress though; Belle's dress was more of a brassy gold than the neon yellow monstrosity seen here.
2. Bruno can't see past the backing dancers - spot him going 'WTF is going on? Move!' near the start.
3. Who choreographs the backing dancers anyway, because whoever it is they're doing a crap job of it (this dance, GG's American Smooth, Jake's AT last year......)
4. Few lines not really finished there Georgia.
5. Not a fan of Hayley's vocal on this one, bit too posh-sounding in places.

Anita & Gleb - Argentine Tango - "Cell Block Tango"
1. I have this song on my ipod, but an AT it certainly isn't!
2. More of a really bad Showdance than an AT.
3. When will it stop being all about Gleb?
4. Her legs were about as sharp as Katie's for most of that (Katie's was much better imo)
5. Nice little bit of rearranging there, Dave Arch.

Kellie & Kevin - Viennese Waltz - "Oom Pah Pah"
1. Fun fact: I was in 'Oliver!' at school as part of the chorus, and I had to sing this song.
2. What is Kevin's obsession with tables? 
3. Andrea, awesome job there, nice Cockernee accent going on (we weren't allowed to sing like that)
4. Now this is how you use backing dancers! (I'm starting to wonder whether it's the pros that choreograph them....)
5. Finally Kellie gets a lovely dress and her hair is brilliant. (Also, this was a 10 for me)

Jay & Aliona - Rumba - "Falling Slowly"
1. Jeans do not help hip action, but I get that it was fitting with the character.
2. You know, I didn't really get this first time around, and now, I'm still not sure.
3. Was it really best male Rumba (and joint best of all time) ever?
4. He has Viennese Waltz next week.
5. He also has the Charleston next week (yep I'm struggling for stuff to say on this one)

Katie & Anton - Foxtrot - "Maybe This Time"
1. She styled out the hat fall very well (not as brilliant as Pamela's Salsa moment, but not sure anything would live up to THAT)
2. Got a bit distracted by Hayley flinging her arms out in the background, nice vocal though.
3. Love Katie's dress, she always gets the best outfits
4. Nearly 30 seconds before they started dancing together, too much faff.
5. Made the Foxtrot interesting though, so props to Anton for that at least.

Helen & Aljaz - Paso Doble - "At the End of the Day"
1. Balance issues. Major. Just watch the end.
2. Too much of the backing dancers.
3. Not enough Spanish lines
4. Think Aljaz missed it on this one
5. Not surprised that she went out on this one, but it's a shame that like Pixie last year, when she was so strong at the other dances (just check out the dance league table), that her one bad week was the one that knocked her out.

*RECYCLED SONG ALERT!* count: 43 so far (none this week, unless I'm really missing something!)
