SPOILER-FREE THREAD

Fleur was quite ungracious at the end, Ellie had to hang around waiting and the looked like she had to comfort Fleur even though she was the one leaving. Ellie had the right attitude and didn’t take herself too seriously.

@m00rfarm

while she improved her dance imho, I think they both did, it was almost as if Ellie knew she’d be going. Just a feeling I got. I have no doubt that she wanted to stay, maybe she would have done with a ballroom.

however, almost all series she was royally shat on by wardrobe. Ellie has a beezer of a body and I felt she was never given a dress that matched the dance. Bar once. And even that dress could have been a better colour.

she has a good heart and a kind soul. It shone through. And you could tell she loved their partnership and the dancing.

I did prefer Fleur though in that dance off.

Very unkind to do that to Molly. Yes they usually call the serial/last weeks dancer offers early so they are spared the wait.

Me too ^sequins*

Even my mam noticed “frockgate” and commented on it again last night. Not bad going when she forgot she most things these days.

Blackpool wasn’t a bad frock but she could have looked astonishing most weeks.

In the good way. And not the way it turned out.

forgets

My bastard thumb and auto correct are now NC. Clearly.

Christ. Can you imagine what the singers would make of a number from Six? You need phenomenal pipes for those numbers (except Anne Boleyn maybe and I can't think what dance that would be)

Haven't watched but looked at the Spoiler earlier. Will fast forward A LOT tomorrow and just look at Ellie and Johannes being nice to each other I think, going on your comments.

Sad to see Ellie go, but was her time.
molly is a grown woman not a child , so I am sure she is ok

Why are the public not voting for her? There are worse dancers.

So I guess we now know that Will and Hamza will not be in the DO, unless they fall flat on their faces, and perhaps not even then. No chance of any critique for them either from the female judges; it will all be "your beautiful soul" and "Your shining humbleness" even if they have zero technique.

Molly, Kym and Fleur will be trading places and punished for breathing. Kym to go next, I think.

I guess Ellie can now go back to wearing some decent clothes.

Because ringhas rarely get votes. The public want a journey not someone fresh out of stage school.

Here's this week's blog link. Weird it's going to be on Friday next week.

Time To Say Goodbye

People aren't voting for Molly because they don't really know who she is. I'd never heard of her before Strictly and, sadly, I won't really remember her. Plus the ink is still wet on her prestigious stage school diploma.

Lion King perfect for Hamza but Richie and Gio used it for film week ?Could always choose a differnt song though . I can't think of any other animal musicals. Cats ? but Hamza is wild not pets

The problem I have with Musicals Week is really that they have all been done to death. Apart from Six, I cannot think of much new really for them to do.

I think I would ask to do something to do Another Suitcase in another hall or One night in Bangkok

If that wasn't possible, then a jukebox musical number I guess e.g.
a Queen track from We will rock you
a Cher track from The Cher Show
a Dusty Springfield track from Dusty
or an Elton one if Rocketman counts (but if musical films count then This is me Greatest Showman or recycling of Another day of sun would suffice).

I think the much-used numbers from stage musicals (Phantom, Chicago, Cabaret, Fosse, etc) have either been done too much or are iconic (Joe's samba, Georgia's charleston) and the lesser-known musicals are a bit of a dud.

Don't know if these have been done
Can you feel the love tonight?
Seasons of love?
Barnum?
Walk like a man? (Jersey boys)
Stars? (Les mis)

These haven't been used for a while...
42nd street (Katie, Anton used it last iirc)
Big Spender (Louise and Kev)
December 1963 (Rindy and Oksana)
Luck be a lady (Victoria and Brendan)

but yes, for me Musicals week/Broadway is a bit of a damp squib
Unless Hamza does something from Hamilton in which case I'm all in!!!

I'm hoping they go off-piste and do a foxtrot to a song from Disney's Robin Hood.

Or it will be "We like to move it move it" from Madagascar. (There are always cartoon musicals in it.)

I probably wont watch ITT tomorrow as it will likey be a repeat of the same speeches from tonight. It was touching from Ellie tonight but enough is enough

Can he do a paso to My Shot? [Am struggling to shoehorn here but am sure they have done worse]

Or it will be "We like to move it move it" from Madagascar

Owww yes Grouchy I like that idea

I’d already forgotten that from Ritchie and Gio probably on purpose!

There are quite a few stage musicals these days based on artists’ back catalogues so could be completely random next week. That said, there are some great songs in Rock of Ages…

I've just had a listen to this, Its not very appealing, but Hamza does need to do Paso and Samba I think

I had an interesting dance to that back in the day. I like to move it move it.

I moved it between two of my burly soldier colleagues.

Black and White Ayia Napa.

I think you could have felt the joy from space. And something elses a little bit closer to home 😳

"We like to move it move it"
It didn't go well for Simon Webbe. He wasn't a furry though - don't they leave that for Movie Week? In the German version, you did have Pascal dressed as a zebra and Ekaterina as a lion. They did a Madagascar Medley in the final and won. It was as bad as it sounds.

Something from Tarzan or Doctor Dolittle ?

That said, there are some great songs in Rock of Ages…

Gorks as Stacee Jaxx, Helen as Sherrie copulating rumbaing to I wanna know what love is?!

My name is Alexander Hamilton track would make a great Paso song
