Next up is Jake and Dianne with a Salsa to Rak Su I want you to freak


Denver: This was a disgraceful performance

Amy Jade: It works, no denying it but did I enjoy this? Honestly no, it was a chore to get through. Points for originality but will I remember this past today? No.

Ammi: Killer kicks, hot, spicy and filled with flavour

great scores Nicky :love:

Next is Lewis and Janette with aRumba to Leona Lewis Run


Denver: That was beautiful

Amy Jade: Okay so on paper this is a 10, love a Rumba, love Ms. Leona. However, I remember Colin Jackson doing this and that was disappointing to me so I automatically draw a comparison sadly. Valiant effort.

Mitchell: Cute and all, but been used on Strictly before.

Ammi: Graceful, beautiful, tender, slow and passionate - we loved it

my x factor song was used on strictly before either, but different dance :hehe:



also it suits Jive better than Cha Cha Cha (Robbie & Ola's first dance, with Robbie's epic knee slide into the camera's)


sorry i have to be honest

Next is Cherie and Alijaz with a Viennese Waltz to Olly Murs Dear Darlin


Denver: I absolutely adored that

Amy Jade: This was so nice, I enjoyed it and you showed us some great prowess. However, if you had given me an acoustic version of this song you'd have gotten a 10 from me, the slight slow down would have won me over. Still great work.

Mitchell: Been used as a foxtrot before, but not a V Waltz from what I can see, cute.

Ammi: Beautiful movements and spins. A truly captivating and dazzling Viennese Waltz

well I wasn't expecting that, thought Olly would go down like a cold bag of sick :laugh: Thank you Judges

Next is Annie and Giovanni with Contemporary to Little Mix Secret love song


Denver: A beautiful and emotional performance

Amy Jade: This was hands down my favourite performance of the series. You were absolutely stunning. Thank you so so much. Superb.

Mitchell: Amy Jade has deffo just got our her 10 paddle hasn’t she

Ammi: A beautifully fluid and flowing performance filled with creativity. Our love of your moves is no secret anymore


Denver:10!

Next is Barry and Oti with Samba to Alexandra Burke start without you


Denver: Yes yes yes girl you brought everything i wanted and then some

Amy Jade: This was spicy and sexy like eating a sweet chilli sensation. Excellent showing.

Mitchell: Nice enough, but just a bit lacking something

Ammi: Bouncy, lively, happy and infectious with creative choreography.


Denver:10!

Last of the X factor songs is Parmnion and Karen with a Waltz to You are the reason by Callum Scott and Leona Lewis


Denver: It was very boring

Amy Jade: Bravo! Great music choice but again I have to draw comparison to it being fairly recent on Strictly, Lauren and AJ iirc, they did is beautifully as did you.

Mitchell: Hasn’t been used on the show as a waltz, but a Viennese Waltz, so I’ll let you off, it was nice, one of my favourites.

Ammi: You are the reason why the Waltz is still the dance Queen of our Hearts - divine, dazzling and deeply moving, delicate and destined to be perfection

2nd on leaderboard after x factor songs :clap1:


together with the other Alexandra entry too :flutter:

The first of our 80s songs is Lewis and Janette with a Tango to Spandau Ballet Gold


Denver: That was more Copper im afraid

Amy Jade: Sadly this was used on Strictly in one of the worst performances in recent memory, you did better but a little research would have really paid off for you this week. Still good.

Mitchell: Been used on Strictly before to a very… unforgettable James Cracknell routine, so as much as I’d like to forget it, your performance was better than his

Ammi: Daring, dramatic, tasteful, temperature soaring, tender and terrific tango

Just so you know..I had 30 seconds to pick my tunes.

Next is Annie and Giovanni with a Paso Doble to Huey Lewis & The News The Power of love


Denver: There was no power of love im afraid

Amy Jade: Similar to my last comment, I recall this being used in a weak performance on Strictly fairly recently. All I remember is Nadiya had poodle hair and that shouldn't be my take away from your performance

Ammi: A passionate, promise-full and provocative Paso - fabulous, darling

i know it from DWTS too, Sugar Ray Leonard's Cha Cha :love: much better memories i had with than with Lee & Nadiya's Cha Cha

Next is Jake and Dianne with a Theatre Jazz to Dead or Alive You spin me round


Denver: It was a fantastic and fun performance

Amy Jade: This really worked for me! I find Jazz a little robitic at times and it fit here like a sparkly glove. We'll done!

Mitchell: wasn’t expecting this to work whatsoever, but really surprisingly it did.

Ammi: I’m still spinning from the power of your jazz - inspired and lively dance

Next is Nicky and Johannes with a Street Dance to Starship We built this city


Denver: It shouldn't work but it works so well

Amy Jade: Yesss this was such fun and high energy, very impressed!

Mitchell: Ooooook? I love this song if it’s any help

Ammi: Crazy and electric, sassy and sensational - we built this city for your scrumptious dance moves

Next is Barry and Oti with an American Smooth to Berlin Take my breath away


Denver: Wow you really took my breath away

Amy Jade: Love this song - However once again this was done badly on Strictly by Simon Webbe. Bit of an obvious choice for me. You still did well.

Ammi:
Smooth and exciting and beautiful - you took our breath away with your grace and style

Next is Cherie and Alijaz with a Quickstep to The pointer sisters I'm so excited


Denver: You literally stole my semi final performance from last series

Amy Jade:I enjoyed this, it worked really well and I could tell you were having a blast. Great job!

Mitchell: Has been used on strictly before, but also felt very predictable, cute song though

Ammi: Masterful, magnificent, magical, marvellous and majestic Quickstep which definitely left us so excited

Closing the show is Parmnion and Karen with a Charleston to Bucks fizz making your mind up


Denver: It was cheesy and has already been done

Amy Jade: Again this has been used on Strictly, it does work but is it inventive? Not really. I will be generous and add an extra point on for giving me a Eurovision song to listen to though!

Mitchell: love how you’ve tried to be creative with this, but it just didn’t work in my opinion, but was still an out there choice, which I fully appreciate

Ammi: Cheeky and upbeat filled with flirty flair and fun - fabulous
