There are sooooooo many amazing songs out there and yet they keep on using the same ones ! - I expect the Icons week will celebrate Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran rather than say and I'm just throwing out first names that come to mind - Queen, JoniMitchel , Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, Dolly Parton, Blondie, Michael Jackson, ELO etc, etc etc

Icons?

Kate Bush
Cher
Christina Aguilera
Aretha Franklin
Whitney Houston
Janet Jackson
Lady Gaga
Annie Lennox
Madonna
Kylie Minogue
Dolly Parton
Britney Spears
Tina Turner
Amy Winehouse

Beatles
Bee Gees
Marc Bolan
David Bowie

Kurt Cobain
Jackson 5 (if Michael cancelled)
Johnny Cash
Sam Cooke
Marvin Gaye
Gene Kelly
Bob Marley
Freddie Mercury
Prince
Rolling Stones
Frank Sinatra/rat pack
Bruce Springsteen
Patrick Swayze
John Travolta
Stevie Wonder

Not sure we'll reprise Elton or Elvis again and Bey is the group number.
I'd pick Annie or Bowie for mine.

I wish I could be excited about Icons week, but they’ll just find a way to squeeze in yet more dances based around animated children’s films or musicals.

I’d love to see a Movie Week with a rule that you weren’t allowed to use either of those two genres. That Minions pro dance was one of the worst I’ve seen for a while (although as I type that, I’m having horrid flashbacks to something weird with rubber gloves last year?? Was that a fever dream?)

I really wanted to get a last minute ticket for this but came down with the flu.😒
Not keen on this Icons theme. Enough theming and stupid outfits. Poor Jamie could barely move.

Yes, they did something with rubber gloves last year and it made an appearance in Amy's comeback dance as well. Ugh!

The Sex Marigolds!

What a shame Lentilweaver - hope you feel better very soon.

Anton and Giovanni have just announced another joint tour, so that tells you what Anton thinks I guess!

Anton at his age needs to hitch his wagon to a younger man.
I wonder if the Beeb will have their TV show back?

Afternoon all. I won't be watching Saturday night as I'm having a day in London. I won two day return train tickets so my lovely Mrs NDN and I are off to have an exciting time.
I did have a little Wilf voice a few weeks ago "How lovely Mumma I do think I will come and have a day in London with you both!!" 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
"No you won't, you are staying exactly where you are on Saturday.. We are having our ladies day!!" ♥️ ♥️

As a London-dweller I say have a fantastic day in my town!

I can't watch on Saturday either as I've foolishly booked for a film at the London Film Festival. I'll just have to binge both shows on Sunday.

We are finishing our day with a concert by candlelight of Musical Songs in the Actors Church. I can't sit still very long so an hour is perfect!!

Sounds excellent!

Thanks @Bowednotbroken I am feeling better. May I ask: which women dancers did they use for Legends of the Dance? Anyone we know like Ola or Flavia? I guess not.

Upcoming dance shows in 2025 for anyone interested:
Oti! ( hoping to go for that).
Karen and Gorka
Amy and Carlos

I wish Katya did a tour but I guess she doesn't have a partner.

@Lentilweaver

Isn't Flavia fully retired now? I thought she farmed for a living?

I was hoping she had come out of retirement but I guess not! I assume less famous female partners.

Good to hear Lentilweaver! Not anyone I knew - they were all introduced by first name and thanked the same way. All young slim and very lovely, and very lithe!! Some of the bends were amazing!

Celebrities becoming 'farmers' definitely seems to have become the latest celebrities becoming 'chefs' or celebrities becoming 'children's authors.'

Yes!

See JB this year!

From her Insta, Flavia apparently still teaches dance classes. I wonder if she still has that enviable six pack.

But they have actually become farmers

She and Jimi M have been together quite a while now. How sweet

What a shame Wynne and Katya couldn't have done The Wolf of Wall Street last week. I would have paid good money to see the Quaaludes scene rendered through the medium of dance.

Nick will be taking part tomorrow - BBC Press Office just tweeted. Performing their Paddington Charleston.

Will either work in his favour or everyone will be thinking wtf, pink striped prison wear and umbrellas?!? At least it won't be as bad as when they had to crowbar zombie gym bunnies into Judi's "halloween" cha cha bless her (she reprised it a week after a Covid bye, so they had to try and make it spooky somehow. Her Cuban breaks weren't that bad in hindsight).
