Her Charleston moves were pretty good I thought! So I'm 100% with you they screwed them over AGAIN with this music. Seriously who picks the music for these dances? Because more than half the time they do it badly!<br /><br />Susan looked great this week, until she tried to make an angry face, she does not do good angry face haha. Okay thank you for explaining what the hell was going on in that routine cause I had no idea hehe. I was thinking that I really liked that paso and now after reading your comment I'm realising that was probably because of it's lack of paso elements haha.<br /><br />OMG DEBBIE DANCING TO THE SPICE GIRLS!??! YESSSSSS *watches it* I wish they'd actually gotten the Spice Girls in for it haha because this recording is not great haha. Oh my god Giovanni is lip syncing, okay he is definitely my favourite. She looks great as Geri. I really can't help but love these two haha they are so much fun. That being said Wannabe and Who do you think you are really don't work for a Samba (or rather Who do you think you are would have but I feel like they slowed it down? Which is weird?), Spice Up Your Life would have been much better and JUST as emblematic of the Spice Girls. It was fun, but it could definitely have been better, you're right in that it was certainly not their best.<br /><br />I *LOVE* Sweet Dreams, it's a great song, I never thought of it as a tango song but, yeah that makes sense to me now. I am loving the tron vibe of the costumes and set design too. Jonnie is SUPER wooden this week!! I can't help but be super proud of him week after week though (sorry we disagree here Angie, unusual for us hehe). I agree that his posture is not the greatest, but I can only imagine how incredibly uncomfortable it must be to do those dances on his prosthetic. I don't know much about them but I know they are not the most comfortable things in the world and dancing is hard on a body when you've got two legs, so I admire his dedication and persistence week after week, that's mainly why he's one of my favourites, not because he's a fantastic dancer. <br /><br />Gemma looks great I really love this week's dress. And this was a really beautiful dance! She's gotten more confident in herself this week. She's definitely improving, good for her!!<br /><br />Okay, I love Live and Let Die, it's one of my favourite Bond themes. And I love that they put in a nod to the parachut opening of The Spy Who Loved me heheh, it combined with the song is like a tribute to Roger Moore haha. I think they found a way to make me like Pasos haha. Davood has grown on me over the weeks. <br /><br />That was a great quick step...but it also looked like a charleston? That's the first time I've ever felt that way about a quick step - am I going crazy??<br /><br />Another am I crazy question - is it just me or does Joe look sorta like Edward Norton? I am loving the 80s madness of this dance. I would totally wear Joe's shirt haha. But yeah suuuuuper dance!! So much fun. I do love a good salsa. That last lift made me cringe too all I could think was bravo to her for not faltering on her smile when she hit!<br /><br />Awwwwwwwwwwwwww Jonnie!! :( I will miss him and his perseverance, but I am 100% willing to admit his was the weakest dance this week for sure. I'd say you can move my vote to Gemma now sweetie hehe.Lauren Bourdageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463715651746020110noreply@blogger.com
