Lighter Things Music

In tragic news, yesterday John Barnes (ex England Footballer) got voted out in the latest round of Strictly Come Dancing (for my US readers thats like “Dancing with the Stars”, but the original version. Bit like all things UK vs US really. I digress..) as the judges finally realised what we all clocked a long time ago.

He can’t dance.

Here’s what Digital Spy has to say:

Former footballer John Barnes has become the latest celebrity to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing.

Barnes ranked bottom with the judges on Saturday night, and after the public vote remained in the bottom two with Kelly Brook.

Brook and Barnes took part in the dance-off and the judges were unanimous in their decision to keep the model.

It was Barnes’ fifth time in the dance-off but he was unable to impress the judges with his samba routine.

Describing the performance, Judge Bruno Tonioli said: “It was a murmur, it was casual, it didn’t have the impact, the fun.”

Brook remains on the show alongside Alesha Dixon, Gethin Jones, Kenny Logan, Letitia Dean and Matt D’Angelo.

On next week’s show all the celebrities and their professional dance partners will perform two routines.

Never mind John. Perhaps you could have a go rapping on the X-Factor next year?

      Aber mit der Heimat
      geht man immer herum,
      durch die Welt, dort und dort
      Peter Handke

      No one could describe
      the Word of the Father;
      but when He took flesh from you,
      O Theotokos,
      He consented to be described,
      and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
      We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.
