What a series of concerts this would have been. Micheal Jackson was back and seemingly returning to the top of his game.
'This is It' is a movie put together of all the film footage of preparation for the planned 50 Show extravanganza at the O2 arena in South East London.
Heather Small was eliminated last week and Rachel Stevens surprisingly found herself in the bottom two. In Strictly Come Dancing this year, seemingly anything can happen. Three couples shared first place on the leaderboard and John Sergeant went through without a scrape.
What dance is everyone performing this week for round 9? Here is the list.
Austin Healey & Erin - Tango
Tom Chambers & Camilla - Salsa
Cherrie Lunghi & James - Cha Cha Cha
Rachel Stevens & Vincent - Rumba
Lisa Snowdon & Brendan - Samba
Christine Bleakley & Matt - Waltz
Jodie Kidd & Ian - Quickstep
John Sergeant & Kristina - American Smooth
With a solid definite styled dance like the Tango, Austin Healey has a great chance of bouncing back from last weeks troubles to top the Leaderboard.
The most talked about dance with the British public is most likely to be John Sergeant's American Smooth. This really is car crash television and its obviously what the people at home want. All we need now is Harry Hill to do the commentary.
The first week is complete and now we are into week 2, which sees the female contestants dance for the first time. Latest odds with WilliamHill to win the sixth series outright are,
Austin Healey 3/1
Tom Chambers 4/1
Rachel Stevens 4/1
Lisa Snowdon 8/1
Christine Bleakley 8/1
Mark Foster 10/1
Heather Small 14/1
Cherie Lunghi 16/1
Andrew Castle 16/1
Jodie Kidd 20/1
Jessie Wallace 25/1
Gillian Taylforth 33/1
Gary Rhodes 40/1
John Sergeant 50/1
Don Warrington 100/1
Austen Healy has become the new favourite after his first performance. Rachel Stevens still looks string at 4-1 and John Sergeant has moved in to 50-1 from 80-1 a few days ago. According to the market, Gillian Taylforth looks the most vulnerable of the women to go... but... who knows ?
Tonight sees the start of the new series of "Celebrity Strictly Come Dancing". Sixteen Celebrities this year compete in the BBC's top ratings, Saturday night show. All will wish to walk away at the end as the eventual winner. Of course, some have a lot better chances than others. But... you never know. With the voting public in charge of half the vote, there could well be some surprises along the way.
This years male contestants are,
John Sargeant, Phil Daniels, Don Warrington, Tom Chambers, Andrew Castle, Austen Healy, Gary Rhodes and Mark Foster.
And the female entrants are,
Cheri Lunghi, Heather Small, Jodie Kidd, Gillian Taylforth, Christina Bleakley, Jessie Wallace, Lisa Snowdon and Rachel Stevens.
The hughely popular show, hosted by TV legend, Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly will now be into its 6th year and it continues to get better with each revolution.
Tonight's opener sees just the men perform and next week, the women. One Celebrity will be voted off from each group until the men and women will compete together from week 3 onwards. Previously it has proved its not just the dance performance that can put a contestant through, but also the size of their fan-base with the public. Expect many of the contestants to appear on other random Television programmes as they attempt to drum up more support.
At this early stage, Bookmakers, William Hill, have Tom Chambers as the 3-1 Favourite to win with former S-Club7 singer, Rachel Stevens hot on his heels at 4-1. John Sargeant currently ranks as outsider at 80-1, but I think he could have a good run.
The Show starts tonight on BBC1 at 6:10pm. Don't miss it!
