Alesha Dixon might not be the best choice to be the new judge on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, what with being a singer and not a dancer, but come on… isn’t it time to let it go now?
Just face it, the BBC want someone young and ‘down with the kids’ as part of their show (they have to steal some of the X Factor viewers after all) and Alesha did win the show a few years back, so she does know what it’s like to be a contestant.
Personally, I’d like to point out that singers do actually need to know how to dance, and as Alesha showed during her stint on Strictly, she doesn’t exactly have two left feet!
Alesha has even said; “People forget that I had four months in solid training with a world champion – 10 hours a day. It’s not like I have just been picked off the street to judge a dancing show. I do know what I’m talking about!” Go on Alesha!
I know some folk might be a little riled that Arlene got the boot to make way for Alesha, but for over 4,000 people to complain following Saturday’s show, come on folks it wasn’t THAT bad.
I’ve got to admit, I did wonder why they’d brought Alesha in when I first heard, because replacing a choreographer with a singer doesn’t really make sense, but Alesha can identify with the competitors, and offer advice from her experience – surely that’s a pretty valuable tool?
However, rather than wasting your phone credit moaning to the BBC about your Saturday night viewing, why give that cash to a charity – a far better use for £1 if you ask me?
