Would be better if they had singers who could actually sing properly. #Strictly

I’ve been so excited for this that I’ve only just realised that we have to listen to the singers butcher the “sha-ha, sha-ha-ha-low” bits. #strictly

Some fans of the show appreciate the live singing performances, though…
Their Gotta Catch ‘Em All from Pokémon for Will Bayley and Janette Manrara’s Paso Doble routine was appreciated…
Finally a song the #Strictly singers can do a decent job of.
They are smashing it! 🤣 pic.twitter.com/FywgwicTyb— Katie (@eyesonthepies19) October 5, 2019
