So Il Divo and Adam on Strictly tonight: Oh, I LOVE Il Divo!!! And also another similar group called The Tenors (used to be called The Canadian Tenors). Both groups have recorded Who Wants To Live Forever, very different versions from the QAL version. Il Divo's version is in Italian+English. The Tenors version features Lindsey Stirling on violin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQKKcIYq4oMwww.youtube.com/watch?v=IbYG30ucL7QThe Tenors are currently on tour in the USA. I saw them in Atlanta Nov 1 and will be seeing them again in Nashville in January.

My dancing days are long ago, so would like a more professional opinion... But I would guess a foxtrot (what we call a 'slow-fox' in the Netherlands) if you just go on the rhythm. I think it would be awesome if they could work it into a rumba though, because the feel of the song is more like a rumba to me. We'll see tomorrow! Of the traditional competitive ballroom dances, Another Lonely Night would best fit as a Foxtrot. Although it doesn't have quite the right vibe for a traditional "smooth" type Foxtrot, but works well as a "swing" type Foxtrot. International style Foxtrot tends to use the more "smooth" type Foxtrot music, but American style Foxtrot tends to use either the "smooth" or "swing" type Foxtrot music. Personally, the dance that ALN makes me want to do is West Coast Swing!! It is perfect for West Coast Swing!! It would even fit as a slower East Coast Swing, but is too slow for a Jive and doesn't quite have a Jive feel. There are a lot of songs that are very interchangeable between Foxtrot, West Coast Swing, and East Coast Swing as they have that "swing" feel to the beat. ALN is slow enough for an American style Rumba (which is faster than an International style Rumba). But it has the entirely wrong rhythm structure for a Rumba as it has a very strong "swing" rhythm. But someone could do a remix with a Rumba rthytm and it would fit beautifully. I could get far more technical about dance rhythms and what makes a song "feel" like one dance or another, if anyone really wants to know. While I'm at it, my ideal dance for Ghost Town would be a Hustle. The sections with a heavy beat would also work for Cha Cha. And one could even dance West Coast Swing to Ghost Town. (West Coast Swing is THE most versatile dance there is. It can work for a lot of different types of music, including a lot of pop music.) I would love to hear more detail about this, DancyGeorgia!

Something I have been thinking about, is why Adam chooses not to perform certain songs, like 'Can't Let You Go'...? Has he ever sang it live? Is it too hard on the voice? What other tracks does Adam never sing...? Spankies..
