This is it, the semi final! Our 4 remaining couples will now face off for the 3 spots in the final.

This weeks themes will take us through the emotions as they are

Songs with a meaning to the contestant

And

Songs that will give us hope in a time of crisis


Here goes

Performance One(a song that is meaningful)

1. Jive by Nicky and Nadiya

Youtube video

Blumchen- Herz an Herz

"I am very much in love with this song, cheerful upbeat and easily makes me happy"

Cherie: Very upbeat and would make a very fast and snappy jive

Tony: I took me a while to get into it but when I did, I enjoyed it. I can tell this means a lot to you due to how unique it is

Amy: Sorry to be negative straight out of the gate but I didn't think this music fit a jive at all, it felt like more of a rave in a warehouse with a sketchy bloke in the corner selling his grans codeine as E's. Really disappointing but kicked your score up a bit because it was quirky!

Barry: I'm glad it makes you happy but, for me, it was ok. I liked the beat of the song though. Was it a jive though?


Cherie:9
Tony:7
Amy:6
Barry:7


2. Foxtrot by Kazanne and Giovanni

Youtube video

Snow Patrol- Chasing Cars

" The song means a lot to me as I lost a dear friend when this song was popular, she loved it and sang it all the time and she made me listen to it and I have loved it ever since, she died of breast cancer at just 34 years old leaving a little boy aged 4, whos father was none existant so he now lives with her brother and wife,I miss her loads,she was a gorgeous soul inside and out,and so brave, this song was played at her funeral and always reminds me of her"

Cherie: I love this song.... and it would make a beautiful foxtrot, such a sad story

Tony: Simply amazing! A very powerful and emotional performance. One of my favourites from the entire series

Amy: This was stunning, really pulled at the heartstrings and gave me chills, I think this could take you to the top of the leaderboard this week. Your friend would be proud of you

Barry: Not that story. I'm almost crying here. This song is so beautiful and I loved the story to it, so emotional


Cherie:9
Tony:10!
Amy:10!
Barry:10!


3. Quickstep by Liam and Amy

Youtube video

No Doubt- Just a girl

" This song means a lot to me because it reminds me of growing up as I remember this song being played non stop, and it still holds up as one of my favourites to sing a long with even today"


Cherie: Another good song choice and sweet story

Tony: Fabulous! This is everything I wanted and more!

Amy: Bravo! On paper I wasn't sure this worked but seeing the dance with the song was just wonderful and fun, congratulations!

Barry: A good quickstep song. A good story behind it too


Cherie:9
Tony:10!
Amy:10!
Barry:9


4. Tango by Cal and AJ

Youtube video

Camila Cabello- Havana

"This song reminds me of a very dear friend"


Cherie: Fab

Tony: Great choice! I was a little uncertain about this but you proved me wrong!

Amy: This was fun and had tonnes of appeal, you picked a really great song and really gave us a show stopper to end out round 1. Excellent.

Barry: I do like the song. However it's not my favourite song here


Cherie:9
Tony:9
Amy:8
Barry:8


Performance Two(A song of hope)


1. American Smooth(Vienesse Waltz) by Nicky and Nadiya

Youtube video

Bon Jovi- Unbroken


Cherie: Loved this

Tony: It was good, but it could've been much better

Amy: I had never heard of this song so I had no visuals but it worked really well, it had feeling behind it and it certainly left me feeling hopeful that you reach the final. Good luck!

Barry: Great start to this round. Bon Jovi has a lot of songs with meanings imo but this was a good one


Cherie:10!
Tony:8
Amy:9
Barry:8


2. Paso Doble by Kazanne and Giovanni

Youtube video

Paul McCartney- Hope for the future


Cherie: Good beat for a Paso

Tony: It was a decent performance

Amy: I get where you were going and it fit a Paso perfectly well but I felt a tad underwhelmed by this, nothing you did at alljust really left me a little nonchalant really and I think this far it's quite important stand out more. Best of luck

Barry: Interesting. I liked it I think. The tune was fun but for a PASO? I didn't feel it


Cherie:9
Tony:8
Amy:8
Barry:7


3. Samba by Liam and Amy

Youtube video

Mary Mary- Shackles(Praise you)


Cherie: Sambaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Tony: Now that's what I call a bloody show! I've got nothing but praise for you

4. Contemporary by Cal and AJ

Youtube video

Rachel Platten- Fight song


Cherie: great choice for contemporary

Tony: Loved it! This was awesome!

Amy: Foxtrot won round 1 tonight and this won round 2. This was just brilliant, absolutely perfect choice. You deserve to be in the final

i also would've saved Cal of course, i at least got to the semi final, despite my many bottom two appearances so i'm grateful to have gotten this far and i do not regret one thing of experimenting more than ever this series

and yes i had loads of fun, what is the most important thing in a game


my favourite dance would've been my Samba to Karma Chameleon btw

[Barry.]

Sorry guys I scored today.

[Strictly Jake]

So we are now at the final of Strictly Tibb Dancing Series 4.

Along the way we have had shock exits, returning contestants, babies born along the way, judges leaving and new judges brought in

And its been a rollercoaster

Most importantly we have had amazing dancing

Thank you to everyone who took part

Barry: Ugh glad this was chosen. I just loved the first time this was done.

Amy: I loved this first time, absolutely genius choice. I think out of everyone you've had the best growth for me, I think you started off well but about half way I began to notice how great your choices were and for me you were the dark horse. You've been absolutely amazing and I wish you the best of luck in the final.

2. Kazanne and Giovanni Theatre Jazz to That man

Youtube video

Cherie: Another artist not previously used, good job!

Barry: I also thought this was a good choice. It was so jazzy!

Amy: Before actual judging I told myself I would give one of you 8, the other 9 and just one person a 10 but honestly the level is too good for that, this was such a masterful choice and you deserve a 10 from me and the other judges. Congratulations, you've done so well and I wish you all the best in the final!

Amy: For me this was the performance of the semi finals and I am glad you got to do it again, you've been incredible this series and really wowed me, you haven't put a foot wrong. If I had to pick the winner myself I think your two choices would edge it for me. You deserve to be here and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you in the final!
