We have news for you all. Due to circumstances changing we have made the decision that the final is going to be brought forward a week. So this is the Semi Final rather than the Quarter Final. So which two couples will land in the final dance off. Who will progress to the final. Lets get our semi final under way. The theme this week is 80s vs 90s!

[Strictly Jake]

80s

[Strictly Jake]

1. Kate and Louis with a Cha Cha to Rhythm is gonna get you by Gloria Estefan
CZkjeJKBI0M


Mitchell:
FAN TAS TIC!


Ammi:
There was no place to hide with that cheeky Cha Cha, the rhythm most definitely got you, darling and it held you as it held us completely mesmerised with your perfect footwork and quick spins


Nicky:
slick, smooth, sassy


Barry:
You can’t go wrong with this Gloria song. It’s upbeat and has a cute beat to it. I loved it.


Mitchell:8
Ammi:8
Nicky:8
Barry:9

[Strictly Jake]

2. Denver and Alison with a Quickstep to Im so excited by Pointer Sisters
rQqwG_rQx7A


Mitchell:
whilst this has been used on strictly before, it was to a jive, this still worked well as a quickstep however

Ammi:
Baby, did you wrap yourself around that Quickstep and you squeezed and you pleased every inch of the dance floor. You flowed and you sparkled in a very lively and lovely performance. Gorgeous

Nicky:
energetic, fast and very exciting music choice


Barry:
I’m so excited for this quickstep. Such a great dance and you did great


Mitchell:7
Ammi:8
Nicky:8
Barry:10!

[Strictly Jake]

3. Niamh and Joe with a Rumba to Golden Brown by The Stranglers
AWAsI3U2EaE


Mitchell:
fit the song well in my opinion, but was missing that something I’m afraid.

Ammi:
Sensual, smooth and sassy, your frame was tight and perfect throughout and those hip movements didn’t lie - passionate, romantic and simply ravishing

Nicky:
unusual choice for rumba, i liked it though

Barry:
Rumba is such a hard song I feel bad for you. It was alright but it was not the best

Mitchell:6
Ammi:8
Nicky:8
Barry:6

[Strictly Jake]

4. Liam and Ashley with a Jive to Bad Reputation by Joan Jett
pRu5wxl5frk



Mitchell:
probably my favourite 80’s routine, well done!

Ammi:
I don't give a damn 'bout your reputation because that was just wonderful fun, fun, fun..a perfect jive to a perfect song and you rocked those sexy swings in a hip frenzy. Twirling, energetic and just tantalisingly perfect


Nicky:
this was dope, i am a fan of this song

Barry:
Yes this is a jive and you peformed it well!


Mitchell:9
Ammi:10!
Nicky:10!
Barry:8

[Strictly Jake]

5. Annie and Ore with a Salsa to Conga by Gloria Estefan
cFgU9ZNU8vY


Mitchell:
has been used on Strictly, so therefore has to be docked points in fairness, but still a great routine

Ammi:
You didn’t control yourself any longer and you shook that body, baby as you did that Salsa with your posture and poise beautifully aligned. Your timing and togetherness was sizzling and I was in awe as you morphed across the dance floor in an inspired dance

Nicky:
bit of a Gloria overload tonight, this was lesser than the first one, more generic


Barry:
Gloria Estefan Again? She is sure popular! Anyway the 80s was a good start and I’m hoping the same for the 90s

Mitchell:6
Ammi:9
Nicky:6
Barry:9

[Strictly Jake]

90s

[Strictly Jake]

1. Kate and Louis with a Contemporary to Another night by MC Sar and Real McCoy
Pav2f4b-1ZE


Mitchell:
brilliant, just brilliant!

Ammi:
A beautifully emotion driven routine that felt as though you were plucking dance steps out of the air and it was nothing less than amazing and everything that Contemporary Dance should be - your timing, your togetherness, your floor artistry, your shape - all simple divine


Nicky:
not contemporary at all, no content, this was more streetdance, a shame



Barry:
I like this Contemporary, it was bouncing and has a groovy beat to it. Great second dance.


Mitchell:9
Ammi:9
Nicky:6
Barry:9

[Strictly Jake]

2. Denver and Alison with an American Smooth to Its all coming back to me now by Celine Dion
M7Gze4kqF04


Mitchell:
I’m not sure how I feel about this as an American Smooth, absolutely BEAUTIFUL song, just doesn’t really fit the dance in my opinion, I’m afraid

Ammi:
You had the grace of a swan in that American Smooth, it was dazzling poetry in motion and your footwork was flawless. Your holds and posture were perfection - there is only one thing left to say, darling - FAB-U-LOUS

Nicky:
good music choice for this dance, and you know i am a fan of Celine

Barry:
Beautiful. It was passionate and you did a great job


Mitchell:6
Ammi:10!
Nicky:10!
Barry:10!

[Strictly Jake]

3. Niamh and Joe with a Tango to Breathe by The Prodigy
6_PAHbqq-o4



Mitchell:
a very unique routine and one of my favourites tonight.

Ammi:
Sensual and gorgeous and intense and romantic and beautiful and magnificent, this tango had us feeling every emotion as you danced it. From the first to the last second, you teased and you tantalised in one of the most vibrant tango performances we’ve ever seen.

Nicky:
this was dark, i luv a good gothic tango, really nice

Barry:
Now this tango was on fire! I’ve always loved this song. You give this tango all you got and it showed

Mitchell:8
Ammi:8
Nicky:8
Barry:9

[Strictly Jake]

4. Liam and Ashley with a Vienesse Waltz to I wanna love you forever by Jessica Simpson
4bJ0F8KhhZ8


Mitchell:
stunning, that is all.

Ammi:
Incredibly emotive and beautiful, your lines were flawless and it gave me goosebumps, watching. It was effortless and it was seamless and I wanted it to go on forever


Nicky:
again, not suiting this type of dance, more bit slow waltz, or at push rumba-ish

Barry:
I forgot Jessica Simpson was an 90s chick. Anyway the song went well with the waltz and it was a cute routine


Mitchell:10!
Ammi:9
Nicky:6
Barry:9

[Strictly Jake]

5. Annie and Ore with a Street Dance to This is how we do it by Montell Jordan
0hiUuL5uTKc



Mitchell:
absolutely brilliant, full of swag, full of pizazz, one of my favourites this series! X

Ammi:
Cool, crazy, charismatic, confident, creative, this was incredible dance and I applaud you. The energy was electric and the moves were thrilling, dramatic, exciting and gripping - a perfect dance

Nicky:
very much traditional streetdance, poppin and lockin was sick, bro

Barry:
A good way to end the show, fabulous!

[Strictly Jake]

[Ammi]

Thankyou to guest judges Nicky and Ammi this week!

...:love:...it’s always lovely to do...

[Strictly Jake]

I am pleased to reveal that both Kate and Louis and Niamh and Joe will make it into the final!!

[Nicky91]

but it is a competition?

[Strictly Jake]

Contestants I have sent the dances out

The reason I chose which dances you will be performing again are as it was a shorter series with less dances and themes there was a chance that most may have gone for the same dance style or the same dance theme. This makes it dull for the judges and contributes to lower scores so i have given everyone different dance styles to make it more exciting

[Strictly Jake]

but it is a competition?

Yeah and all 5 will be fighting for the title of winner!

[Kate!]

Yeah and all 5 will be fighting for the title of winner!

Sent my song. Xx

[Niamh.]

Oh dear last in both categories and one of my own too, the shame :laugh:

[Niamh.]

need to have a think about my song Jake but I'll get it off to you today. Is it just the one, the show dance one?

[Strictly Jake]

need to have a think about my song Jake but I'll get it off to you today. Is it just the one, the show dance one?

[Niamh.]

Showdance 1 was Adam
Showdance 2 was Liam
Showdance 3 was Kate
Showdance 4 was Niamh
Showdance 5 was Annie

I realised after you posted the Poll I'd sent in the wrong video too (not that it would have made loads of difference anyway) I meant to just send Don't stop me now not that fan made combination thing :laugh:

[Denver]

I knew I was making a risk but I wanted to use something that defined the last year

[Kate!]

Showdance 1 was Adam
Showdance 2 was Liam
Showdance 3 was Kate
Showdance 4 was Niamh
Showdance 5 was Annie

I guessed all the other 4 correctly. Knew Niamh had picked Queen. Thats the one I voted for even though we weren't supposed to vote. Ooer. Xx

[Niamh.]

I guessed all the other 4 correctly. Knew Niamh had picked Queen. Thats the one I voted for even though we weren't supposed to vote. Ooer. Xx

I almost changed my mind as well and went for something else, I wonder if it would have made any difference? :think: I might use it if I ever play again (and get to the final) and see :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

Does Liam even know he won this yet?

[Barry.]

Congrats Liam on your win!

[Strictly Jake]

Just testing the waters....is there is interest for a series 6?

[Liam-]

Does Liam even know he won this yet?

I didn’t until now :laugh:

Belated thanks are in order I guess!

[Kate!]

I didn’t until now :laugh:

Belated thanks are in order I guess!

Ha. Congrats Liam. Finally. :love:

@Jake....I'd play again.
