I don't mind admitting I'm SEETHING with incandescent fury about that dance-off result.

Going to need to listen to some silent violin music now to calm me down, played by Louis Armstrong on his trumpet.

He was miming.  I think the orchestra were miming.  The choir were probably miming too.

Pretty sure the dancers were dancing though.

violin music is the worse of any music. Got one in the cupboard and it's just bloody awful. If you were trapped in a room with a radio just playing violin music it would drive you nuts. sounds like a cat or a fox getting tortured.

I think you are being very hard on the poor old violin Zorro. What's it done to upset you?

Can I just put in a good word for the instrument with a few examples ?


1. Maybe the apex Beatles track on the apex Beatles album?

2. Possibly the greatest movie score (and opening titles) of them all ?

3. One of pop's most underrated men creates yet another number one, propelled by his violin

4. One of my favourite singer/songwriters has the good sense to write an entire album's worth of music for string quartet.

Come on, it's not that bad surely?  Poor old Stradivarius will be spinning in his grave to hear his labours so trashed.

When the violin comes in at 8.54 on this track I get goosebumps.

There's too much violins in this world, especially in places like Iraq and Syria! I was hoping violins would be Finnish!
