The feedback

Cherie and Pasha

Dance 1: Waltz

Nicky: Evil Queen Regina goes classy for that waltz, great costumes and very good performance

Morgan: I'm not sure this was exactly fitting for a Waltz and I found it rather cheesy.

Adam: It was ok nothing spectacular

Mitchell: you’ve tried to be quirky and you’ve fallen flatter than a bottle of coke left overnight.

BlackDagger: A unique take on Disney. Bit cheesy and twee for me

Nicky:9 Morgan:6 Adam:6 Mitchell:4 BD:7=32


Niamh and Alijaz

Dance 1: Quickstep

Nicky: it was quick, but i guess it didn't have much class, more monkey business which is great for the theme but not for the dance, i'm struggling here what score i should give it

Morgan: Loved this routine, but I wish you'd been a little more creative with the Choreography!

Adam: You may look like an orangutan but that performance was nothing but classy and elegant

Mitchell: this is CUTE! It may be predictable but at least it’s a decent Disney song and not some dreadful cover

Black Dagger: An utter joyous dance sensation


Nicky:8 Morgan:8 Adam:10! Mitchell:9 BD:9=44


RileyH and Dianne


Dance 1: Argentine tango

Nicky: you invented a new dance ''The Arabic Tango'' this had that fire, passion what you want to see in argentine tango, but with arabic flavours throughout in this aladdin performance, If you're not through to next week i'll pickle me walnuts that is for sure

Morgan: I really enjoyed this routine, it was really well done!

Adam: I would do anything for an Arabian night after that performance

Mitchell: Original, cute, fits the theme, unexpected, you rocked it, my favourite routine this series!

Black Dagger: It didn't work for me I'm afraid

Nicky:10! Morgan:9 Adam:9 Mitchell:10! BD:6=44

Montblanc and Artem

Dance 1: American Smooth

Nicky: this was cute, charming, i wanna dream if i see your performance then this was fab, i couldn't detect a flaw in your technique either

Morgan: The uploader has not made this video available in your country.

Adam: It's the Quarter Finals not week 1

Mitchell: one of the more acceptable routines, still average though.

Black Dagger: A snooze. I was ready for this to end as soon as it started

Nicky:10! Morgan:1 Adam:5 Mitchell:6 BD:6=28


Hijaxers and Gorka


Dance 1: Tango

Nicky: I LOVED IT, this was staccato, this was fun, this was divine

Morgan: Wow! This was really quite incredible - I loved it!

Adam: You made Cruella look like a pussy cat

Mitchell: boring. You don’t deserve any more words.

Black Dagger: A fresh, intriguing tango. It's one of those that is splendid or dire and I'm of the former persuasion

Nicky:10! Morgan:10! Adam:6 Mitchell:3 BD:8=37


LeatherTrumpet and Nadiya

Dance 1: Jive

Nicky: beginning was a little lacklustre i'm afraid, but once it began it was PERFECT

Morgan: Another amazing routine, and a really unique choice!

Adam: It was a great performance

Mitchell: not sure this is very jivey, but I appreciate the song.

Black Dagger: It would fit different dances for me but surprisingly works as a jive

Nicky:9 Morgan:10! Adam:8 Mitchell:6 BD:8=41

[Strictly Jake]

So far the leaderboard after the first dance

RileyH and Dianne 44
Niamh and Alijaz 44
LT and Nadiya 41
Hijaxers and Gorka 37
Cherie and Pasha 32
Montblanc and Artem 28

So currently Montblanc and Cherie are in danger but will their second dance save them? We will have to see later on...

But to close the Disney theme it's the cast of the lion king musical!

Join us late for the Divas theme

[Crimson Dynamo]

:dance2:

[Niamh.]

:amazed: Thanks judges, hope my Diva is actually a Diva then :fc:

Well done everyone

[Cherie]

Rubbish comments from rubbish judges apart from Nicky and BD, I will be delighted to leave as most don't know their arse from their elbow :hee:

[Cherie]

Nicky: Evil Queen Regina goes classy for that waltz, great costumes and very good performance

Morgan: I'm not sure this was exactly fitting for a Waltz and I found it rather cheesy.

Nicky knowing his waltz, not sure Morgan knows what it is? :hehe:

Can Blackdagger replace Morgan on the panel!

[Crimson Dynamo]

Rubbish comments from rubbish judges apart from Nicky, I will be delighted to leave as most don't know their arse from their elbow :hee:



Cherie you have to nominate a Diva, not act like one

:hehe:

[Cherie]

well done Riley H the come back Queen and Niamh

[Cherie]

Cherie you have to nominate a Diva, not act like one

[Cherie]

LeatherTrumpet and Nadiya

Dance 1: Jive

Nicky: beginning was a little lacklustre i'm afraid, but once it began it was PERFECT

Morgan: Another amazing routine, and a really unique choice!


Adam: It was a great performance

Mitchell: not sure this is very jivey, but I appreciate the song.

:hehe:

Black Dagger: It would fit different dances for me but surprisingly works as a jive

:hehe:

Nicky:9 Morgan:10! Adam:8 Mitchell:6 B8=41


the judging is all over the place, is it a jive, isn't it a jive, the judges don't know :bawling:

[Niamh.]

:laugh2:

[Nicky91]

have to agree with BD, that mary poppins song i would more match with charleston or quickstep i think

but it was a decent fast song choice, and for jive's you need fast songs :)

[Strictly Jake]

So this is it their second dance but will it change the leaderboard we shall have to see...

[Strictly Jake]

The feedback for Dance 2 (Divas)

Cherie and Pasha

Dance 2: Paso Doble

Nicky: this was as camp as Judge Rinder's paso to gaga born this way, bit stomping here and there, but overall the attack was phenomenal, and you showed your inner diva come to life big time

Morgan: This was okay, but nothing particularly special for Top 6

Adam: It was a little bit too stompy

Mitchell: this was good! Not entirely sure I’d call Lady Gaga a traditional diva, but I’ll be nice

SherzyK: The song choice was ‘meh’ as was the performance. Had to listen a few time’s but there was no relativity to the dance. Sorry

Nicky:9 Morgan:7 Adam:7 Mitchell:7 SK:1=31

Niamh and Alijaz

Dance 2: Viennese Waltz

Nicky: there was too much rise and fall which isn't how you dance a proper viennese waltz, you need more flow throughout, the fleckrl however was stunning, it was a bit of a mixed bag of goods and bads sadly

Morgan: Wow, this was a really good dance with amazing choreography!

Adam: I have Nothing, Nothing, Nothing to say to that performance

Mitchell: YES! Whitney is a DIIIIVA! This was so sweet and so cute, well done!

SherzyK: You might have nothing but this dance was quite something. This performance was a tear-jerker

Nicky: 7 Morgan:10! Adam:10! Mitchell:9 SK:10!=46

RileyH and Dianne

Dance 2: Samba

Nicky: Fierce, Fiery HOT Samba, this truly felt like a Super Bowl performance from Beyoncé although i would've liked to see more samba rolls, volta's it was entertaining and had wow factor through the performance

Morgan: Again, it was an okay routine but it just wasn't standout for a Top 6 performance.

Adam: You make Ann Widdecome look like the best dancer in the world

Mitchell: how the **** is Meghan trainor a diva? I like her, but let’s be real, she’s just a bit dull, nothing diva about her.

SherzyK: good performance but you slipped a few times so it’s only a 7 tonight

Nicky:9 Morgan:6 Adam:4 Mitchell:3 SK:7=29

Montblanc and Artem

Dance 2: Salsa

Nicky: armography was fab, your poor arms after this tough routine i think this was a good way to dance yourself into the next round, lifts were amazing too

Morgan: I think the choreography let down this routine, it just wasn't high energy like I wanted!

Adam: The sexiness that came from that dance Wow

Mitchell: Still looking for a sugar Daddy x

SherzyK: Mediocre


Nicky:10! Morgan:6 Adam:9 Mitchell:8 SK:5=38

Hijaxers and Gorka

Dance 2: Rumba

Nicky:* thank goodness this was sexier than celine's current looks, i thought this was more subtly sexy and more charmingly angelic, i am a fan of those rumba's, not the too sexy ones

Morgan: I found this quite boring and uncreative unfortunately.

Adam: Wonderful darling I am so proud of you

Mitchell: I just fell into Morgan’s lap!


Nicky:9 Morgan:6 Adam:10! Mitchell:8 SK:8=41

LeatherTrumpet and Nadiya

Dance 2: Cha Cha

Nicky: first of all, getting a cha cha this late in the competition is almost a guarantee for disaster, so i have sympathies for you, now your performance was FAB-U-LOUS DARLING thank you

Morgan: What a way to close the show, congratulations!

Adam: I have no more tears left to cry

Mitchell: This was like Gemma Collins and Mariah Carey had sex and made a baby in the shape of Tina Turner, SLAYYYYYY

SherzyK: Enough is indeed enough

Nicky:10! Morgan:9 Adam:10! Mitchell:10! SK:4=43

Opposite for me i love my 80's and the dance but the 90's was hard as i'm not so keen on the dance so i struggled a vbit with that one.

Anyway whoever goes has done fabulously well to get this far , so good luck to all.

Feedback

80s

Cherie and Pasha*

Kazanne: Loved this one,very artistic and danced really well,had my feet tapping and wanting to join in ,great choice of song

Mitchell: a cute song, not semi final standard but still a good routine.

Adam: Fantastic energetic performance

Nicky: this was poppin, kicking, flicking this was amazing

Morgan: I did enjoy this and it was a really refreshing routine, but I do think that it was rather safe for a semi final.

Kazanne:8 Mitchell:8 Adam:10 Nicky:8 Morgan:8= 42


LeatherTrumpet and Nadiya

Kazanne: Interesting choice of music,must say it didn't knock me out ,but very different,it just lacked something for me

Mitchell: unfortunately you haven’t got lucky with this routine

Adam: That was rather impressive

Nicky: this was interesting, risky but nice, exactly the exciting performances we hope for in semi final

Morgan: I'm going to be honest, I didn't LOVE this. This was a chance to be really creative, but it was just a bit basic and uninspiring.


Kazanne:5 Mitchell:7 Adam:9 Nicky:9 Morgan:6= 36


Niamh and Alijaz

Kazanne: Well this was a showstopper , beautifully danced and beautiful music, well done to the choreographer

Mitchell: erm, not the best.

Adam: That was what sweet dreams are made of

Nicky: great spanish lines, shapings, fab storytelling, wow

Morgan: This was a perfect song, and an almost perfect dance - but I do feel it's a bit overdone on strictly so I had to deduct points

Kazanne:9 Mitchell:7 Adam:8 Nicky:10 Morgan:9= 43


Hijaxers and Gorka

Kazanne: I feel this dance deserved more of a dramatic tone, but it was surprisingly enjoyable , I don't think the music did it justice, but I've seen worse

Mitchell: I appreciate you’ve tried to do something different, but I didn’t like it.

Adam: You slid around that dance floor like a slippery snake and those hips have got great movement

Nicky: this was for sure the most weirdish samba i've ever seen, there were some decent samba rolls but this was not great

Morgan: I wasn't too sure about this - I don't think the song completely fit and the choreography was safe

Kazanne:7 Mitchell:8 Adam:8 Nicky:7 Morgan:6= 36


RileyH and Dianne

Kazanne: This gets my top points of 10,it was excecuted well ,danced to perfection ,I could watch it over and over,loved it

Mitchell: I WAS CRRAAAAAZY FOR THAT! I love love love the American smooth and this was beautiful, if you’re not in the final, I will sacrifice RileyH

Adam: I wasnt crazy for you

Nicky: i had goosebumps all over me, you have one foot in the final after this

Morgan: It was smooth and it was sensual, but it just wasn't what I was looking for in a semi final I'm afraid

Kazanne:10 Mitchell:10 Adam:5 Nicky:10 Morgan:7= 42

90s

Cherie and Pasha

Livia: Brilliant choice for a salsa, it’d be effortless to interpret the music and tell a story with this tune, it kind of makes up the dance for you, I think. As someone who goes to salsa clubs, this is in my top three salsa dances.

Mitchell: this would be acceptable in round two, but it’s the semi final! This is the least creative song choice I’ve ever seen, it’s like you’ve just typed in ‘generic salsa songs’

Adam: Wow wow wow

Nicky: safe but solid performance, just really predictable

Morgan: Again this was an almost perfect routine but I'm afraid it's just a bit overdone on strictly.

Livia:9 Mitchell:2 Adam:9 Nicky:8 Morgan:9=37

LeatherTrumpet and Nadiya

Livia: I had to listen to this before I made my mind up because I didn’t recall it being a Viennese waltz tempo. But I was wrong. Excellent song that flows as fast as the pivots should be.

Mitchell: WOOOO! Carrrrrrriiibeaaan!

Adam: Beautiful

Nicky: great song choice, i myself am a huge fan of Enya technique wise fleckrl was great, yeah overall good

Morgan: I did find this a bit boring so I marked you down, but it wasn't awful and a good effort.

Livia:8 Mitchell:9 Adam:10 Nicky:9 Morgan:6=42

Niamh and Alijaz

Livia: Great choice for contemporary, there’s so much life and drama in this song I’d really love to see a contemporary piece put to it.

Mitchell: babe you don’t have to speak as you let your hips do the talking!

Adam: It was the weakest performance this round

Nicky: i'm guessing this song was chosen by RileyH, anyways very exciting interesting song choice for this type of dance, it was wow

Morgan: Oh wow, I really loved this! It was emotional, it had great storytelling and it was really well performed!

Livia:8 Mitchell:9 Adam:6 Nicky:10 Morgan:10=43


Hijaxers and Gorka

Livia: This song is surely ¾ time. I’ve listened to this several times now and can only picture the accompanying dance would be more of a waltz. While it’s a great song if you stand it alone, and a good dancer would be able to pretty much interpret anything, I personally think it’s a poor choice for a foxtrot

Mitchell: I could be that anyone?

Adam: You have let yourself down this week

Nicky: good bit of rise and fall throughout, and you can say a foxtrot is boring against a upbeat dance, but a foxtrot can still be entertaining when properly executed and this was divine performed

Morgan: This is another routine that just wasn't up to the semi-final standard and it just didn't impress me as much as I want at this point.


Livia:5 Mitchell:8 Adam:7 Nicky:10 Morgan:6=36

RileyH and Dianne

Livia: Good choice, great song… maybe not the most inspired or adventurous song to pick for street dance, but a good solid choice.

Adam: I think you will be jumping into next week

Nicky: JUMP JUMP, this couple makes me wanna JUMP JUMP, technique was on point every single pop and lock, i'm impressed

Morgan: Wow, you really pulled this one out of the bag! Well done, this was amazing!

Livia:7 Mitchell:7 Adam:8 Nicky:10 Morgan:10=42

well done Niamh, peaking at the right time :hee:

LT or Jax....tough call

[Strictly Jake]

Right finalists you have an important job to do

The first song I need from you is your dance of this series that you want to perform again

The second song is your showcase song, it may be your all time favourite song or your all time favourite artist or a song you think would showcase your dancing, it’s basically a song that has to be amazing as it will be your last dance of the series

Judges later this week I will be sending you a list of all the dances the finalists have performed you have to choose your favourite that you want the finalist to perform again I will also be choosing my favourite. The finalists will then perform for a third time the dance that got the most votes

So finalists in the final you will be performing 3 times

[Mitchell]

So we need to send you 2 songs now Jake? One of the ones we did already and one new on, yeah? Are you sending us a dance for the new one or can we choose our own this time?

[Strictly Jake]

So we need to send you 2 songs now Jake? One of the ones we did already and one new on, yeah? Are you sending us a dance for the new one or can we choose our own this time?

Pick your favourite song of the series and then a Showdance which is the dance style. It basically is a dance that mixes every dance within it if that makes sense it's to show a bit of a journey on the show. But just send me an all time favourite song that will do

[Strictly Jake]

The results are in...

I will be revealing who is the last contestant to make the final. But first with an 80s inspired dance is our professionals

I Loved LT's enya viennese waltz, but in the end i liked 2 dances from Jax, and also a unusual samba song choice but it more or less worked

[Strictly Jake]

It's ok Jax I have had quite the week myself. My wife got a phone call Monday evening to say that they think she has an ectopic pregnancy. On Tuesday we went to hospital she was rushed down to theatre for key hole surgery to remove it. So been looking after her and the kids this week it's been exhausting and a bit traumatic especially when they ask things like do we want the ashes etc. They had to remove a tube but they said it doesn't affect fertility so I guess we will have to try again. Thankfully I have had things like this game to distract me.

Hope your dog is ok bless it it sounds like it's in loads of pain
