Mel C on Dancing With The Stars

[rhythmbandit]

Meanwhile, in the states:

 

[Dark Carnival]

Bop!

QUEEN!

 

[Jark]

can't believe she's doing Dancing With the Stars I reckon she'll be do pretty well!

 

[Voodoo]

 

[Pipo]

About time she does something there. I feel that, along with Emma, they're two of the SG that never had a big profile in the US, unlike Mel B and Victoria?

 

[Diddy]

Season 30?! Do they have two a year or something?!

 

[straightorbroken]

No way. Go Mel. Can't believe I'm finally going to root for her.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Season 30?! Do they have two a year or something?!

They used to but stopped doing one in the Spring a few years ago.

 

[Pipo]

I have a feeling she might do very WELL.

I can imagine her doing Who do you think you are for DISCO WEEK or something

 

[straightorbroken]

I wonder how subtle Mel Beh will beh in t'audience.

 

[Halli]

She looks bloody great!

This is a good gig for her

 

[rhythmbandit]

First routine will be a Cha Cha to "Wannabe". Tonight!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Separate topic for DWTS?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The Queen Of Pop looking great, feeling fresh looking fine (FASHUN remix) - one cannot help but stan. Do we think she'll score another BB Dance Hot 100 hit after 'I turn To You' with a remix of 'Who I Am' perchance after this?!

The hot dance club play chart was yet another victim of COVID

 

[Pipo]

I stopped following the BB Dance Hot 100 when they started CHARGING for it! so I had no idea it didn't exist anymore.

There's always the Heatseekers chart Mel

 

[RJN]

I can just post what signs I listened to each in chart form, as that would reflect the American listeners just as much as the dance chart ever did

 

[Jark]

Separate topic for DWTS?

yes please!

keen to see how this went.

sidenote - Strictly is such classic Saturday night tv. it's weird that America has no culture of that (SNL aside) and all these love reality/perfornance shows air midweek.

 

[Jark]

JUST ANOTHER REASON TO HATE AMERICANS.

except lovely @RJN.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Quite good. Seemed really fast for a cha cha and it was less than a minute long. 27/40 and 4th on the leader board.

 

[Marilyn]

I hope she dances to every Spice Girls single in order of release

Her grand finale dance can be to Headlines

 

[Diddy]

I hope she doesn’t moonwalk the foxtrot and polka the salsa, that’ll look shit


I guess someone probably made that joke already

 

[Pipo]

I Can't at this shade towards @POP! (and, geographically speaking, me too )

I love @POP! every night so I don't need to tell him publicly

 

[FetchFugly]

Mel looked pretty good. I see she has smarmy Gleb, formerly of Strictly, and wearing a lovely wipe clean outfit.

 

[ButterTart]

I can't understand why she did the American version, to be honest. The dances are fifteen seconds long, the outfits look like they're from a car boot sewing challenge on Drag Race, and they use studio versions of songs instead of Dave Arch and His Fabulous Orchestra.

 

[COB]

It does seem odd that she chose DWTS over Strictly, particularly as she doesn't seem to have focused THAT much on the US throughout her solo career (post Northern Star at least)... maybe she just felt it was time?

 

[RJN]

She can come in 11th place to honor it

Strictly pays anything from 25k up to 100k for the winner. Everybody on DWTS gets more than $100k simply for competing.

Also she has a strong UK profile already, but can bolster her US profile by doing DWTS. doing so could improve her streaming numbers for the next record and open up more media opportunities and/or performance slots there. it makes a lot of sense!

 

[Pipo]

Can't wait to see her SALSA along to I Turn To You

 

[Voodoo]

 

[Diddy]

Is her partner called GLEB?

Very nice, even if she didn’t moonwalk

Gleb Savchencko, he did one series of Strictly with Anita Rani.

That dress is ghastly.

 

[Diddy]

Well nice to see the Russians are giving the Americans a run for their money in the ridiculous names

 

[rhythmbandit]

Meanwhile, here s the understated dress Tyra Banks wore last night:

[Halli]

Loving it so far, she's very solid but I think there's more to come.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Tango next week, which turns out will be Britney Spears night.

and she's apparently doing Toxic. How is that Tango? I don't get this contest sometimes.

Jake Wood did a tango on Strictly a few years back to Toxic, was good:
