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!

Wow, Suzanne – great minds think alike!
I hated Victor and Hannah’s dance, since it was gymnastics to music!
The semi-final – exactly my feelings! I’ve just about got over it!
I just realised I put my other blog in instead of the SCD review one!
