@@bessieburnet9816 no, he's been brilliant from the beginning. Most of the time, the audience chooses a winner who's started off ropey and then suddenly has a moment where everything changes...
Katy 5378 I don’t think they’ll do a rumba because it would look too romantic for Karim especially as he has a much younger fan base- this was the same for Joe Sugg last year
When I first saw this song choice I was a little worried but this was SO SO GOOD!! The choreography allowed both Amy and Karim to showcase their amazing abilities and also show how well they dance together. This is my favourite dance of the series so far and I’m so glad they got another well deserved 10 for this dance!!
I was the same! But Salsa and Soca go together VERY well and they definitely did this justice... also... very impressed with both of their bum shakes! Both on the balls of their feet for maximum jiggle haha!! THAT is how you DO IT!!!!
His musicality was OUT OF THIS WORLD. His body isolations and his dancing ability are just FABLOUS. Rhythmically it was perfect, his connection with Amy was spot on, very smooth lifts, very beautiful arms as well. He needed to straighten his legs and settle into the hips in order to created a really great hip rotation, because that is what prevented this salsa from being perfect. His quality of movement is insane, the way he felt the music, the way he moved, the way he incorporated hip hop moves into this salsa - all of that was absolutely terrific, but the actual salsa footwork could have been stronger. An 8.
I am now convinced he is the best male dancer on the show and this is not even him at his best. It would be nicer if danced in Latin shoes (Cuban heels) but I'd give a 9!
It’s totally unnecessary to wear Cuban/high heels to dance any Latin dance. If your weight is in the correct place you can achieve hip and leg action. It’s a fashion accessory.
@@hadassarmon6725 it is unnecessary but i thought the trainers made them both look flat footed..still an incredible dance and he is the best male in the competition.
hadass armon Not unnecessary at all. A paso in trainers is definitely not the same😂 you’ll also not get the same power required for certain moves like a timestep as you’re not already on the balls of your feet.
I love Karim. He doesn't get enough support. He has such good rhythm and mostly he shines above the others in almost all the dances so far. It makes me smile not just because I love him from my childhood (I'm 20 now ;-) ) but because he is so modest and so eager to learn and improve. I will always vote for the best dancer of the night but now he has confirmed a place in my my heart and I will also vote for him regardless. Plus Hacker in the show!!! OMG my childhood is fulfilled !!
The way he LEAPT over Amy's head at the beginning.... made me sit up and PAY ATTENTION!!!! THIS GUY CAN DAAANNNCCEE!!! Favourite of the night!!!!! So much fun, I understand what Craig said about his steps being a tad wide in his basic but I REALLY didn't care. There was too much in this for me to be concentrating on width of steps... it was SPECTACULAR!!!! 10!!!!!
Yes! Another 10 for them!! I'm so so happy! They're definitely my favourite to win, especially after Dev's elimination! And I am just so happy for Amy now that she has a partner like Karim! This is definitely her year like how 2018 was Dianne's and 2017 was Nadiya's!
I couldn't stop smiling and squealing throughout the whole performance. He is unreal!!! Craig wishes he could 'over dance' like that, with his bloody wooden hips! Karim to win!!!
When you've watched this so many times that this damn song is stuck in your head... I'll just be minding my own business and then; " a doggy is nothing if he don't have a bone" floats into my head, lmao. Can't imagine what it's like to have to practise to that 24/7 for a week, drive you mental!
my favourite couple. he is outstanding!!! please god they win!!! please vote every1!!! Karim is so super talented and alovely person and so is his lovely and amazing professional dance partner amy! xxx
In all honesty, I was kind of disappointed that this routine only scored one 10, as I thought it was the most entertaining dance of the week! I mean THIS GUY CAN REALLY MOVE!!!!!😃. Ah well, he’s still doing well for himself and I can still see him going far! GO ON KARIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amy really lets the routine make him stand out and work around his abilities which i liked. Which is what she did with cha cha cha, the first dance they did.
Every year I pick a celebrity I think will win even before they start dancing and I picked Karim because he just looked like the dancing type he’s been absolutely amazing since day 1. Best personality too ❤️❤️❤️💕
Who let Karim out? Who! Who! Who! Who! (Love Motsi😁) Back to this dance, full of fun and bought a wonderful smile to my face. I wanted to join you both in that dance! Well done!! :)
Thought he did really well Great energy I thought at the last lift it took a bit of time not get up so it lost its continuous movement at the end. 9/10
I think they were just waiting for the beat when he was supposed to lift her, but I thought that too, like everything froze for just a half second too long. Still epic though!!
I just love this young man! Outstanding, as always. Where DOES he get his energy from?! And the way he scooped Amy up for that big hug at the end was just adorable. ❤ #smitten
0:42 lol, great arm under arm basics and Salsa peacock he really caught the fun of the dance. When I heard Salsa to who let the dogs out I was like "that's ridiculous" but it strangely worked tonight. Great hip action and speed and lovely balancing on head bits. His lift at the end went wrong sadly. He was very sexy and rythmatical. Good spices and his hip action was just fab. I think the whole quick thing is fab and especially that he keeps on time. He needs to wear actual Latin shoes because that will make his movements smoother because the shoes look so much nicer and more club like than everyone else's, that probably was for the sexy part, naughty Karim lol 😂😂😂. *10/10*
There are a few real contenders this year, Karim being one of them... feels like a real competition where you can't really pick a favourite cause each week you're impressed with so many..
I thought when I stopped watching CBBC 7 years ago that hacker wouldn’t plague my life anymore but to no avail 🤣🤣🤣. This dance was exceptional especially based on the interesting song choice to say the least, despite that I think it was overshadowed by a lot of other performances in the night which is more than likely just a detriment of the running order. Glad that they are both back to good health and able to put in their 100%. 8/10 Strange shoe choice #2 - Amy’s trainers, I can’t remember the last time I saw a pro doing a latin dance in flats
Karim is like sooo cool! I mean it was a little bit messy in some areas, but I don't even care. I loved it especially that little tricks he did at @00:59 and @01:08. Brillant! 9! Oh btw, hey HACKER T. DOG!!!
So... scores for this from Danny the strictly reviewer Rossmh Henry, Lexaleus and Penny and Fishy (not in that order) Danny the strictly reviewer: (8) Penny and Fishy (10) Lexaleus (9) Rossmh Henry (8) Total: 35/40
Gosh, he is so talented! Still, something is missing - joy? It looks more like a world championship routine, perfectly performed. I want him with Katya, and in the final.
After this dance I have no choice but to Stan this man
Now that Dev is gone, I'm 100% supporting Karim. Everything he does is outstanding!
lucija lol same
It's been Kelvin and Karim from day one, I think.... I hope that one of them wins and not someone who's had a 'better journey' 🙄
@@Rai_S82 If that is your mindset then you might not want to support them two because they've had the best journey
@@bessieburnet9816 no they've been incredible from the start. David James for example has had a better journey but he's still shit.
@@bessieburnet9816 no, he's been brilliant from the beginning. Most of the time, the audience chooses a winner who's started off ropey and then suddenly has a moment where everything changes...
Imagine what his couples choice dance is going to look like... omg I can’t wait 💓
I can't wait to see him do an Argentine Tango and a jive as well! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You two, seriously! My heart can't take this potential!!! ♥️
I'm looking forward to argentine tango and rumba
Katy 5378 I don’t think they’ll do a rumba because it would look too romantic for Karim especially as he has a much younger fan base- this was the same for Joe Sugg last year
Omg yesssss
YESSSS KARIM HE NAILS IT EVERY WEEK ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM
he has some serious moves !!

Im 20 no idea who he is as he was on cbbc like only recently stopped watching when I was 11 lol
I'm not English so I have no idea who he is, but I thought he was the pro. I'm going to look him up.
@@TheCoolcait11 I AM 22 I STILL WATCHED CBBC KARIM IS MY FAVOURITE CBBC PRESENTER
The way he LEAPT over Amy's head at the beginning.... made me sit up and PAY ATTENTION!!!! THIS GUY CAN DAAANNNCCEE!!! Favourite of the night!!!!! So much fun, I understand what Craig said about his steps being a tad wide in his basic but I REALLY didn't care.

Absolutely the best, a star is born, it's a great pleasure to see him entertaining the nation...well done
Is it just me that thinks of the Sparticle mystery every time you see Karim?
Yeah. Miss that show, even if it eventually went almost nowhere
You have just unlocked part of my memory
Hahaha meee😂😭
Yep Sadiq
Yes! Another 10 for them!! I'm so so happy! They're definitely my favourite to win, especially after Dev's elimination! And I am just so happy for Amy now that she has a partner like Karim! This is definitely her year like how 2018 was Dianne's and 2017 was Nadiya's!
Oh gurl you KNOW I had to give them a 10 for THIS!!!!!! Editing my review now 👀👀👀👀
2020s was Janette's I’d say.
You have to want it the way Karim wants it, if not then just go home
I couldn't stop smiling and squealing throughout the whole performance. He is unreal!!! Craig wishes he could 'over dance' like that, with his bloody wooden hips!
Karim to win!!!
I find him more attractive than Kelvin. It was frantic but I blame the music. And if Emma gets a 36 (lol), then this deserved more.
ChocoBaby311 So some people find Kelvin more attractive that him ? 😂
Yes! I think he's so cute 😊
Kelvin is 🤢
His energy level tho

Alfonso’s cutout IM CRYING 😂😂
She is honestly the best professional dancer, wow. Great teacher and that is why Karim is going to win the competition ✨
Maelee Lavery she is great but oti is the best professional dancer by far!
I like Amy but think Oti is the best female professional dancer
yes I love your positivity xx
Nah he won't lol
This lad is just a joy
my favourite couple. he is outstanding!!! please god they win!!! please vote every1!!! Karim is so super talented and alovely person and so is his lovely and amazing professional dance partner amy! xxx
Just fantastic, every week. His timing is out of this world.
In all honesty, I was kind of disappointed that this routine only scored one 10, as I thought it was the most entertaining dance of the week! I mean THIS GUY CAN REALLY MOVE!!!!!😃. Ah well, he’s still doing well for himself and I can still see him going far! GO ON KARIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deserved straight 10s!!!! Honestly amazing! Absolutely mental song to do ANY dance to, but he made it work because he's awesome!!!
I'm sorry Criag, but an 8? NO no no no its a 9 at least.
Criag?
Ps. This took me literally an hour to write my auto correct wouldn't allow it XD
What reason did he give?
That's Craig for ya
Exactly... I thought it was 10 but like you said at least 9!! 8 was def unmarked tho still high
What was Craig's reason? Because he doesn't think it's "real" Salsa?
Can't wait to see his jive and charleston
That was so impressive, he actually did so many quick moves and kept the energy up 100%. Amy really let him shine
Amy really lets the routine make him stand out and work around his abilities which i liked. Which is what she did with cha cha cha, the first dance they did.
I love Amy a lot but he lowkey outdanced her. Outstanding.
Megan Ripley Amy’s salsa content was stronger than his
No he didn't. He was impressive but she's a good few levels above him.
I knowww
Every year I pick a celebrity I think will win even before they start dancing and I picked Karim because he just looked like the dancing type he’s been absolutely amazing since day 1. Best personality too ❤️❤️❤️💕
Watching in 2024. Karim has such good rhythm. Absolutely outstanding and both so in sync.
It was so cute seeing Hacker from CBBC there to support his fellow presenter ♥️🐶
Who let Karim out? Who! Who! Who! Who! (Love Motsi😁)
Back to this dance, full of fun and bought a wonderful smile to my face. I wanted to join you both in that dance! Well done!! :)
Who actually goes around DISLIKING these videos??? Weirdos!!!!
This was amazing! Karim is my favourite!!!
already that i have a crush on Karim since the beginning, he contributes with these hips
Kelvin's hips >>>>> Karim's hips
K but why is the puppet making me emotional 🥺
My favourite dance of the series so far. So much passion, a very good salsa action, and very well choreographed. 10.
Yes Kareem, love the way you're just going for it, makes it look sooooo easy. Finals.
This was excellent!! And the song worked better than I expected...
Hes very handsome 😍❤
My favourite of the night, and that 8 was an insult if I dare say it! Xx
I COULD WATCH HIM EVERYDAY
ME
I love him so much!!! He's so talented, always smiling and giving it his all! He HAS to be in the finals!!
Amazing! 10! I mean, those hips! Wow, best of the night!
Love this. Wasnt keen on the song choice when i first heard they were going to do it, but it worked.
Go Karim and Amy.
Never fails to deliver ! One word, three syllables, Fab - u - lous darling !!
Thought he did really well
Great energy
I thought at the last lift it took a bit of time not get up so it lost its continuous movement at the end.
9/10
I think they were just waiting for the beat when he was supposed to lift her, but I thought that too, like everything froze for just a half second too long.
Still epic though!!
Very nice. He had great energy and hip action, and I see that Amy gave him a LOT of content. Definitely a solid 9!
She must have so much fun with him, hes so.energetic and does everything woo
0:10 that jump is just awesome

I thought it was Fantastic Amy has done a fantastic job
Best dance of the night! 🌟❤️ What a dream team! 🎉
Some of Craig’s comments were so stupid.
