You even had said this Denver. I didnt disagree with it

[AnnieK]

I sent a song by an artist in Eurovision - didn't know it was anything else. Low score for me then I've no interest in Eurovision so no knowledge and didn't have time to do much research.

I made a suggestion but the theme still was Eurovision and not Eurovision artists, they are 2 different things

It was open to interpretation,

Just admit you love giving low scores

[Parmy]

I've just wrote to points of view regarding the lack of show.

Youtube video

Mitchell: this was a cultural phenomenon

Ammi: An exhilarating and energetic Samba with ravishing hip movement.We loved it.

Amy: This was cute, could easily see a fun routine here but I can think of so many alternatives that would have absolutely slayed. You did well but could it have been better? Definitely.

3. Next up is Annie and Giovanni with a Jive to Abba So Long

5. Next is Lewis and Janette with a Cha Cha to Brotherhood of man save all your kisses for me Lewis

Youtube video

Mitchell: Whilst this worked, it felt a bit slow in places for the dance.

Ammi: Playful and fun and upbeat. you saved all your Cha Cha for us and it was filled with cha charm and cha charisma.

Denver: Save all your kisses for me!

Amy: This was such a showstopper. I felt like I was a ***** in an eastend pub in the 19th century like Oliver Twist singing and dancing for the lecherous old drunks. Such fun

Youtube video

Mitchell: Cuuuute!

Ammi: Fast and fresh and flirtatious and flawless and fragrant and fruity and fabulous…does your mother know?

Denver: remind me of what year of Eurovision this was performed in?

Amy: This was a bit of a shocker, on paper I was a bit scared for you because I wouldn't say it was a Salsa song but it strangely worked and I had fun with you. I'm not so sure some of the other judges will get it but you won me over!

[Strictly Jake]

So a very close leaderboard there but it's time for our couples to take on their 2nd performance. The theme this time is artists from Manchester

[Strictly Jake]

1. First up is Annie and Giovanni with a Viennese waltz to The Stone Roses Ten storey love song Annie

Youtube video

Ammi: Classic and romantic and elegant and beautiful. It was a 10 storey Viennese Waltz.

Denver: It was a sweet effort

Amy: I don't know what to think when I first started to listen and wasn't sure I envisioned what you did here. I can definitely see the direction you were going and credit for taking a risk. I'm not sure it's my favourite this week but it was still enjoyable

2. Next is Lewis and Janette with a Foxtrot to Oasis Wonderwall Lewis

Youtube video

Ammi: Smooth and slow and rhythmic. there is only one thing that I’d like to say to you and I know exactly how - fab-u-lous, darling

Denver: It was ok but very bland

Amy: Great song, I definitely approve. However I don't think it fit the dance style too well, I see Wonderwall as a quite edgy and rough around the edges song whereas I see a foxtrot as a very elegant and precise dance. I still enjoyed you this week I'm just not convinced it worked so well for me.

Ammi: Intimate, graceful and sensual - vibrant and expressive. A lovely tango


Denver: i quite enjoyed it

Denver: It was a very good performance

5. Next is Nicky and Johannes with a Quickstep to Simply Red Something's got me started Nicky

Youtube video

Ammi:

Denver: it lacked a bit of something for me

Amy: I think in a similar vein as above, I can definitely see this working really well and imagine a really nice performance but I hate this song. You still put on a fab performance though!
