SYTYCD Australia - Salsa

Oliver and Luda choreographed this but I'm wondering if they had any say in the music selection or not. :|

@#@&%? Not only is that song NOT salsa, it's awful. The choreography isn't all that great either.

Generally the music is chosen by TV people, who seem to have decided that the public won't understand, or don't deserve, dances danced to the correct music. I can't watch those shows any more, mostly because of the music selection.

It sounds more like a Samba ( ? ) come whatever and nothing had ANY relationship to Salsa .
The sad part ? -- this is the impression Joe public gets and does zero to promote the genre .
I also do realise that its for TV-- but--

no one will ever convince me that an authentic salsa from the numerous choices available, would fail to excite the general public even more .

And lastly-- the pro. probably wouldnt know Cuban or street style from a Waltz !

Expanding this a little - I don't know if any of the rest of you have gotten a chance to watch this show, but I don't like a lot of the song choices.

Using reggaeton for a samba during the top 18 rubbed me the wrong way. It reminded me far too much of the modified Queen song for last season's paso doble with Jesus and Sara. :headwall:
