Christmas Special? (was it?)

SCD Christmas Special     DARREN    ALL HAIL THE KING!!!    Eh by gum, the gaffer’s dun good!!  - or has he?   Did I imagine it or did he drop the lovely Lilia on her bonce? ….  isn’t  “On me ‘ed”  a football term?   Sorry, but I just don’t get why people rate Darren so highly.  I only reached for my 10 once tonight and it was not for the Dazzler.  I expect I am in a minority, but it would be interesting to know what the outcome would have been had he:- a) not been the last person to danceb) didn’t bring his fan club to the filming c) strike lucky with an extremely popular professional. From the start I was annoyed with the old “I’m a bloke, this dancin’ lark isn’t me…  I’m a bootstrap n’ braces Yorkshire lad born n bred in’t mines!!   He is arrogant, smug, self important and so on………… Enough already!!!   LETICIA – Nice. But instantly forgettable?    I do have a soft spot for her though, she reminds me of myself if I was blonde, a good bit lighter and was able to dance!    MARK –Why did you Jive, you gorgeous man!!!    It was sloppy and messy, but also stiff and kind of random.   I felt cheated.  The AT is your winning dance – don’t you remember!!!  (I remember every moment of it)……  I am choosing to believe that you were all told what you were to dance…   ALESHA – Did you forget to get dressed dear?    I have the exact same number in my wardrobe from a different lifetime…    As for the dancing, I can only assume you were both just having a laugh and keeping your eye on the main comp – loved the piggyback though – good for you! MATT – I can’t even think about his dance knowing what I know about him now.  Yes, Flavia and Vincent’s relationship may well have ended anyway – but that is for them to sort out and not for this forum. GETHIN  - Beautiful.    My winner – without question.    I was enraptured.   Not too keen on the song though…  I wonder what the outcome would have been if Geth had done this waltz in the semi finals????  JUDGESLen – For god’s sake stop with the macho crapBruno – Stop copying that old fool next to youArlene – Abandon that appalling and abominable alliterationCraig – Keep up the good work  The scoring was rubbish – far too high.   I can remember when 3 8’s and a 9 was a good score.  I wish the judges would remember that for a high score to mean something there has to be some lower ones!   I pray for some impartiality and objectivity in the next series.   I don’t want to hear   “I just want sex”, “you come out, and dance like a bloke”, “I vote with my heart”…   etc…………    Constructive Criticism – bring  it on in 2008   That’s all for now!

Javine backs Alesha

This is from another website -  I don’t suppose they will mind!   The cheek of her!   The least she could do would be to keep her head down! (or keep out of Alesha’s life at least)

 

Javine Hylton backs Alesha on 'Strictly'

 

Singer Javine Hylton is backing Alesha Dixon to win this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Dixon lost her husband, MC Harvey, to Hylton last November, after the pair were revealed to be having an affair.

Hylton is now pregnant with Harvey’s child, but has said that she would like Dixon to be happy as well, and wants her to win the dance contest final at the weekend.

She told the Mirror: “Alesha is doing brilliantly and good on her.

“It might sound strange for me to say this but I genuinely want her to be happy and I really hope she wins.”

Talking about her affair, she said: “I’d do it all again. The only regret I have is the hurt I caused. But Harvey and I wouldn’t be together without hurting people.”

Hope Javine remembers the old saying “what goes around, comes around”

Pluckin’ farce - SCD Results Show 16 Dec

Sorry readers, but my ramblings are not going to be uplifting tonight!   Tonights result was as expected, but I still feel saddened by what has happened.

It was always to be this way though.  Firstly, think back to last night and Aleshas AT, what can you remember?  I bet whatever it is is dressed in red?  - but what about Matt and Gethin??   Did you look at them at all - or did your eyes keep drawing back to the ladies - I know mine did.   In that dance particularly, Alesha was competing against Flavia and Camilla- not Matt and Gethin!!  Secondly, Gethin’s Paso - the tune was just too fast and did not lend itself to any of the halts, poses and attitude that is needed in this dance.  Gethin did nothing wrong, but was let down by the routine which the speed of the music dictated!   Finally, Matt’s waltz.  Yes, it was very nice - but it was no better or no worse than a lot of waltzes we have seen over the years and I personally feel it did not warrant 4 tens!    I was very disappointed in Len and his one man standing ovation - Judges are meant to be impartial, Len.     Sorry but that was anything but!!!!   HOWEVER - a thought came to me last night when thinking about these 4 tens.   I don’t normally believe in conspiracy theories but heres what I reckon…

The Judges want Alesha to win.   It is quite plain that Gethin is getting the vast majority of the public vote (he must have, or he would have been in a dance off by now)   Craig and the gang do NOT want to take the chance of having Alesha in a final with Gethin,  in case everyone votes for Gethin to win?!    They needed Gethin out of the way,  and the best way to achieve this was to keep Matt out of the dance off this week - SIMPLE AS!

As for the rest of the show.  Well, what can I say!

1) I really cannot abide baby ballroom kids - and this is speaking as a mother of a dancing child!   This lot would put people off dancing.   Bruce said “everyone’s started dancing” - not this lot!  they are from dancing dynasties I reckon - why can’t the BBC go to a normal dance school and see how kids learn to dance.

2)  Victor and Hannah - YUK - I like my dancers to dance - I thought I was watching Cirque Du Celeb on Sky, only for the fact it finished last week!!  BUT I will forgive Hannah a lot, remember she had to put up with Chris Parker.

3)  Lilia’s and Ola’s trousers.  They looked like something a person might buy from the back pages of the News of the World!

AND THE WORST THING - To add some weight to the debate as to whether singers mime on SCD, the look on James Blunt’s face when he looked down at his guitar to see the plectrum stuck behind the strings, which would of course “mute” any noise coming out…  yet there was noise?!?    Miming on SCD, surely not?!

Thats all  folks!

Make up Lesson 1

MAKE UP - LESSON ONE Base PRIMER Wonder how the girls look so flawless and radiant? Primer! It’s a bit like undercoat for foundation. I recommend the Bourjois Embellis range – its good quality, and relatively cheap at about £7. FOUNDATION The same colour as your tan please! Put on the tan, do a test patch on your arm to the depth of colour you are going for the competition and buy a foundation that matches this. Kolor by superdrug do some very good darker (and the slightly orange of fake tan) foundations for those on a small budget, No 7 and the likes of Estee Lauder and Elizabeth Ardern foundations for those with a bit more to spend. Powder either in a matching colour (max factor crème puff is good) or translucent. If you prefer you can use a bronzing powder to increase the depth of colour. Don’t forget to go right up to your hairline (and in your parting if you have one) and around your ears (especially behind), down to your tan line and blend like mad. Some people will tan their faces, others don’t like to. It’s personal choice really and depends on whether you can cope with people staring at your face and asking where you went on holiday despite the fact they saw you the day before. However, if you are not going to fake tan your face make sure you choose a heavier foundation, otherwise your skin can end up looking too pale and pasty against the strong eyes and lips.

Leticia’s Impossible Dream - SCD Results 9 December

Last night, we saw some super dancing, some lacklustre but lucky ad-libbing, and a couple of car crash moments!   But, don’t these four read my posts!  Stamping, necks, kicks and flicks - ring any bells???   And as for Matt - well, what can I say?  I really felt for him, it is horrible when you go blank -  I think it is all too much for him!   (Wonder what he is going to be like if the sympathy vote gets him as far as the final?) Best get himself some “Rescue Remedy” sharpish!
This evening watching the results show, I can’t say I was totally surprised at who went out, and I think she expected it was going to be her as well, but it is true to say I didn’t expect to see Alesha in the dance off?!   I bet it was a bit of a shock for her as well - goes to show regardless of how good you are and how much the judges rate you, the public can make or break you.  But what can the girl do - she hasn’t offended anyone, been showy or full of herself in any way.   Us phone voters are a funny breed!    It is well known that we vote for those we think of as “friends” or those who we feel sorry for.  People doing okay on their own do tend to get ignored.

Flavia looked like she was going to have a heart attack when they were called through “in no particular order”.   Still,  what this does mean is that we will ge to see Flavia and Matt do an Argentine Tango, and that should be really interesting!  Speaking of Argentine Tango, how fabulous was that display by Vincent and Flavia - it’s just as well they are a couple, it was very intense to say the least ………………….   I thought the show dancing was fab, both by the German formation team, and our own anton/erin, brendan/nicole.

Did anyone notice there were more than a few bits of dance dress flying off onto the floor tonight?

I hope and pray that they do away with the dance-off in future series.  Much as I enjoy seeing the Sunday show with the professional dancers, I feel saddened that people have to dance when they KNOW they are going home.    I too, am the age to play the Godmother and not Cinderella - You did us old girls  proud Leticia!   Good luck.

Best judge - Len.  glad to see him back on form.  Jet lag cleared perhaps?
