Lulu takes on Soulja Boy for Let’s Dance 2011
Token pensioner on this year’s Let’s Dance For Comic Relief is the amazing Lulu. Seriously, I do think Lulu is still a wee bit sexy, even at 62. Maybe I need to speak to my therapist about that next week…
Anyway, Let’s Dance lays on the pensioner jokes pretty thick, with Lulu doing a VT about her salt-free diet and sitting in a stairlift with a neck brace on. So it’s a complete shock when Lulu comes out dressed as Soulja Boy for a version of Crank Dat. Holy shit, she’s limber. And she’s got the moves down to a T.
Best bit by far is when the backing dancers surround her and lift her up in Superman pose. Keith Lemon gives her a (well deserved) standing ovation. Brilliant stuff.Lee Mack: “In the first dance, when we saw a flash of Penny’s Lulu, I thought that was as good as it gets. But now we’ve got the real thing, it’s absolutely brilliant. And the backing dancers, they’re brilliant. They’re so cool, that even with a t-shirt that says Lulu’s Boys, they still look cool.”
Jack Whitehall: “I’ve been a fan of contemporary urban hip-hop and gangsta music for some time, so that was spot on. And also you got into the role. You were probably quite intimidating. You wouldn’t look out of place on the night bus, terrorising the elderly. You were fierce. You brought the crank, and I don’t even know what that phrase means.”
Keith Lemon: “(sings) Don’t know much, but I know I love you… I know Richard Bacon. He’s got this Nandos card where you get chicken for free…it were amazin;.”
Interpretations of Keith Lemon’s comments are more than welcome – what the hell was he talking about?

How did she not win outright???
The act that won was boring.
The reason why she didn’t win is because there is a whole lot of sexism going on in that program. The judges all men! The only way you will win in that program is if you are a man that dresses up as a women, and for some stuid reason you call that funny!?!?!
Lulu, we’d like to use someone as sweet as you for modelling out stairlifts – but maybe in another 30 years eh?
We said exactly the same thing as Max on Saturday night. We couldn’t believe Lulu didn’t automatically go through. The tap dancers were OK but not great. Even my sixteen year old and her boyfriend thought Lulu was great and should have won. They said she’d got the moves down and was brilliant. Total travesty.
