I'm telling you, Oti is the best female professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.
Oneluv1 Balal Ever!!!!
I agree! Her style is unique! Janet and Katya are good too, But Oti’s moves always stand out. It’s like a basal tribal instinct of movement which I think comes from her South African origins, as Johanness has it too! Love her ❤️❤️
I think she's the best overall!
Lorraine Samuel I agree! The way they dance is just mesmerizing
@@lorrainesamuel3221 basic tribal instinct? Lol okay 😂 she’s not from a tribe but anyway...
This was Strictly’s peak. Danny Mac and Oti are absolutely amazing.
Just can’t stop watching their routines! Hopefully one day strictly does an all stars and brings them back
There’s no question about it he is the best celebrity to ever grace the strictly floor. Deserved to win.
why didn't he?
@@kategrace8003 because the best dancers never win its always more about a 'journey'
Oti's choreography is outstanding!! My favourite professional
The Argentine Tangos are always choreographed by AT specialists, not the pros. And she won't do the Charleston next week either. Or the salsa if & when that happens. But yep- she's been great at all the other dances.
He should have lifted the trophy!
He was robbed of the glitter ball that year....I am still bitter about it
Me too - the BBC is a disgrace - time to end the licence fee and let this organsation earn its income with honesty.
Yes me too, I was upset that he didn't win.
Danny was robbed was definitely robbed but where is the winner now??
@@jeanfakhouri6977 er, still being booked for various appearances/roles, because he was already known before appearing on Strictly, same as Danny? This isn't the bloody Xfactor.
Just came here to comment this exact thing, i was having a convo with someone about strictly and Danny’s performance first came into my head as being the most memorable person to dance on the show. I cannot believe he lost that year to Ore Oduba, i just don’t know how that was possible, Ore was good but Danny topped him in everything, i don’t remember a single routine Ore did but can remember most of Danny performances, I’m bitter asf
This was simply astounding. The speed, precision and fluidity of his ganchos and legwork are phenomenal.
But not only was it technically brilliant- there was a real chemistry there too- possibly the first time I've felt it between them.
@@scattygirl1 , It was, as you say, the best of both worlds -technically excellent and artistically, emotionally breathtaking. But I sensed some chemistry from the 1st dance (their great cha cha) and definitely in the 2nd dance, their waltz to the song, "Never Tear Us Apart." Danny himself stated that 2nd dance turned into something very special for the both of them.
I was gutted they didn't win the series :(
So this is 6 years since this dance was performed and the magic still hits me! And I still feel Danny should have won and that Oti was the best strictly professional period!!
You're not alone, that's for sure. IMO the best celebrity dancer on Strictly ever :)
I can understand personal preference in how routines should be, but I don't think we've EVER seen such amazingly clean footwork as in that middle section. It deserved forty for that alone.
The best Strictly couple ever
I will never get over Danny not winning. Easily one of my favourite dances ever on any of the Strictly versions. Oti is an absolutely stunning dancer, this partnership was perfection.
This dance cements Oti as the best professional dancer ever in Strictly and Danny as the best celeb ever in Strictly
To this day I still cannot believe DM and Oti did not win..They were truly sensational...They was robbed!!!!!!!
Jeanette Burgess, Let's try to right the overturned apple cart. Go to the sites of the producers of the James Bond movie franchise. Ask them to cast Danny as the next Bond. Danny would make a fantastic Bond. Danny has even already played the action hero amazingly well as the hero who saves people from a burning building on Holly. Danny was also voted the "Sexiest Man" in all of Soapdom. Danny Mac is muscular, a great actor, and intelligent.
Get over it 🙄🙄🙄 it's not the only year the best wouln't/didn't win and Ore and Joanne were every bit deserving winners; from zero to hero against others with comparatively vast amounts of experience and the better overall dancer in the final.
Unfortunately, Danny made mistakes in the final, Ore didn't. Sometimes performances in the final don't matter, because one person will already have such a huge following going in that pretty much the only thing that can stop them is not showing up (e.g. Tom Chambers). They win because of their performances over the course of the competition, not just the final. But in this case, the vote must have been split between them (as some will never vote for dancers with prior training) and when Danny stumbled, enough went for Ore to give him the win. Personally, I reckon it was quite close.
I am ASTOUNDED that this scored less than Louise's AT, what an absolute disgrace! I have never seen a better Argentine Tango in all of the series of Strictly.
100% agree
Louise is a pet, with a pro who is a pet. They need her to do well. This was a much better AT, even with lousy music, mostly because he wasn't just going through the motions.
Louise's AT did nothing for me, either. Idk, the judges just seem to be trying to make Danny work the hardest for his 10s.
Tracey-Ann Wisdom I think it's because a white guy often called a ringer or an obvious winner won last year. They want Louise or Ore to win this year so it can be a different story. But if they have to work this hard to help them win (between the overpraise and the generous music choices), then it becomes too obvious.
Frank Harker It's definitely too obvious. It's ridiculous.
I keep on coming back to this (and their other dances) four years after the event - is anyone else doing this??!!
Yes 2021 now and still watching Danny Mac and Oti
Nope!
@@beatrice2236 Why are you here then??...
Oh yeah....it's now 6 years on and i still revisit....i possibly need therapy lol!. It's a bit sad to admit, but i actually didn't watch strictly for 3 years after , because i was so gutted (and furious) when the sublime Danny Mac was thrown under the bus by strictly bosses to appease those who accused strictly of racism towards contestants that year. He was the best ever...won't see his like again.
@@deltafay1981 I too am addicted! - I don't think that I'll ever stop watching this clip...🥰
I've just started watching all of Danny's dances from last year. He's still the real winner in my eyes and Oti, is by far, the best professional female dancer there's ever been.
Yes, with Oti you are correct. She is the best alongside Aliona and Flavia.
God, this dance is perfection personified 😭 I’m back here after watching the new episodes. When will we ever see skill like this again😂
Nie wiem kto tu jest tancerzem a kto tą gwiazdą ale taniec jest tańczony zawodowo pięknie ❤
Na tym tańcu powinni się uczyć wszyscy tancerze oglądam to n-ty raz i naprawdę nie wiem kto tańczy zawodowo!?
Boy this man can MOVE! It's always a treat watching this guy dance! :)
michaelgabrielraphael k
Nothing will ever beat this. Nothing.
Watching from Nigeria and confused as to how this guy didn’t win the show 😭
Sopriye Dodiyi-Manuel Hi! 🇳🇬
Please tell me my sister 😭🙄
Two years on and I still come back to watch this. Dani is incredible, Oti is truly a Goddess.
Who's 'Dani'? I didn't know that Kylie's sister was on the show... ;) :p
The best Argentine tango ever
Ancient mysteries of the world, how the hell did this fella not win strictly? Imo best dancer ever on SCD.
AMAZING!!! An amazing twist on the dance we've never seen. No words to describe him.
10.
P.S - I get that this isn't a traditional AT which made me nearly give a 9 but for what he was given he just nailed it.
R M to be honest, I've researched traditional argentine tango and started learning it, and none of the strictly A.Ts are like the traditional one, and although this was much faster, it has the depth and connection in every move that is more similar to argentine tango than any of the others. they move as one and there is a sense of conversation and connection between them and thats what A.T is all about, no matter the tone or speed. every couple is different and every dance is different. just my opinion anyway.
Best Dancers Ever in Strictly Danny MAC and Oti. It’s 2019 and I’m watching the new series, Danny Mac is the best male dancer ever to compete in Strictly. Even though he did not win, is was and us the best ever dancer👌🏽
I never watched this series but i CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME understand why these two didn't win . No other competitors have ever come close to this degree of perfection. I had to Google who he was because i thought he was a guest famous dancer
I know they didn't win, they deserve runner-up
Oti looks AM-A-A-A-A-A-ZING. I dared not blink, it was so fast. The steps were clean & clear. Their CHEMISTRY IS ELECTRIFYING & IMMENSE.
I don't know how many times I have come back to this video through the years and every single time I am perplexed by how these 2 didn't win that season...
Same
Danny was the best contestant on Strictly ever! The was judges was so critical of him for no reason. You could tell Oti really enjoyed dancing with Danny too. It was like two professionals dancing together and she could really go all out with the choreography.
There will NEVER be another contestant like Danny Mac. An absolute travesty that he didn't win.....and all due to allegations of racism on Strictly that year. The man was robbed...i haven't watched it since.
@@deltafay1981 totally agree
Danny Mac, Alexandra Burke, and Fleur East were totally and absolutely robbed of their Strictly winners titles.
And THAT is how an Argentine tango is done 👏🏼
Danny doesn't get enough credit for how good he is & always has been, that was bloody amazing!!!
This is how you know the man upstairs LOVES dance. I'm on 5% and was going to switch off my phone then the DOTI notification pops up. #praise
That was a very hot dance!! 😍
I'm determined to watch one of their dances at HOME on the actual LIVE shows.
Courtney Fisher
This deserved 40, easily one of the best dances I've ever seen on strictly. How this scored less than Louises tango is beyond me
Lets face it - no one can beat Danny in the whole of strictly history! x
The best tango dance I've ever watched.
The best Argentine tango ever! I think Strictly should apologise to Danny Mac and award him with the glitter ball as he and Oti wan the competition by a mile. Their dances were beautiful and better than all the other contestants. Up till today, Danny Mac is still the best male celebrity dancer on strictly.
Indeed he is and to dance to that music was a feat in itself.
It's over 5 years later and i STILL can't get rid of my anger over Danny being thrown under the bus. He is the best EVER contestant and the judges knew that. Every single routine they did was simply mouthwatering. I stopped watching Strictly after what happened to Danny Mac. i often google his routines because they are just so beautiful to watch.
I was blatant shocked when Craig and Darcey started criticising him. What about this wasn't perfect? He's so good, and obviously excelling, that they're nitpicking for the tiniest trace of a mistake, and it's so unfair. Louise couldn't have pulled that off.
They should have stuck to their instinct. I saw the interview on Friday ITT. Still within the dance they could have asked for some 'breather' within the routine to show the sensuality and fluidity of this dance. This 'speedy gonzalas' approach means the entire routine can't be a 10 dance, though the hooks and flicks were beautifully executed...
Danny had previous dance experience.
@@12345678910111213955 -As he said himself "it was three years at drama school and never before and never since". Speaking as someone who just likes watching Strictly and has no dance experience at all, I'd guess that whatever they taught at drama school it would be nothing like the Samba, Foxtrot et al, so surely he would have to learn the dances from scratch just like everyone else? Besides, there's been a few contestants who've had more dance experience than he had.
@@Ann-my1dg I don't know exactly dear but I have watched somewhere in TV show or I had read an article that he had previous dance experience. He dance like professional dancer. I felt even better than professionals.
@@Ann-my1dg I absolutely loved his Argentine tango and samba.
Still amazing
I do not even watch this show but have watched several clips of the pair dancing... I am simply speechless... wow 😮
2019 still watching this adorable couple
Danny and Oti must be well aware by now that no matter how awesome their routines are, the judges are going to find (or invent) excuses to not give them the marks they deserve and have deserved from week one. It's really shameful. To me this AT was miles ahead of any other this series and certainly more professional and classy than the one Louise and Kevin did last week. It's time for SCD fans to start yelling and screaming and demanding fair play here. I can't stand seeing wonderful choreography and wonderful dancing not receiving the scores they deserve. Congrats, Danny Mac and Oti on another brilliant performance.
Amen! I could not have said it better.
I agree, and what makes it even worse is the scores they give to Ed Balls sometimes and hardly say anything negative about him
Only 1 of their routines was flawed out of the whole series but with the racism claims in the first few weeks plus Ore being a complete novice and it being Len's last series, Ore had to win.
(Also, Claudia should have been 3rd instead of Louise)
I've disregarded previous years when 'fix' was called but this year was blatant.
Oti and Danny, you were amazing. I watch your performances over and over again and I've never seen anything more spectacular on Strictly ever.
My winners from week 1 - many congratulations.
I gave up watching after this series until Darcey left...Danny was so talented and their dances were so wonderful. Still gives me the chills
Agree,best dance in strictly history. Simple. Never has a celebrity been able to dance like that, never. Danny is by far the best male to ever be on this show. How this didn't get 40 is incredible. And that last lift was so unique. this dance is one for the history books
Brilliant! He is a strong male contender to win this competition!
2 years consecutively for Strictly
2 years consecutively for Greatest Dancer
And let’s not forget the amazing entire series with Danny Mac, OTI ROCKS!!!
Love Danny and Oti great pairing ❤️
WTF!!! That was jaw dropping!!!! The intricacies in the leg flicks and twists were just mind blowing. INCREDIBLE!!!! Craig and Darcy have lost their minds with their comments. I was mesmerised by that. Lordy Lordy me!!!!!
Other is an excellent professional dancer and that was a excellent performance from Danny Mc he could bee a professional
Amazing!!! Wow. I’m a US citizen so I don’t watch Strictly Come Dancing but this is the one of the best Argentine tangos I have ever seen. Who is this Danny Mac guy? Folks saying he might be the best contestant to ever be on Strictly Come Dancing and I can see why. 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽
I love this more ever time I watch it
The exact same thing I was mumbling to myself the second before I read your comment. :-D
Watching one more time Absolutely 💯.
Danny too was fantastic and fabulous with his lifts 👏 👏
Stunning and atmospheric.
Danny Mac was in a league of his own. Those flicks and kicks were very snappy and precise.
OTI AND DANNY MAC SHOULD HAVE WON THAT YEAR!!!
Oti looked absolutely gorgeous tonight. I loved her outfit and the flower / clip in her hair.
Bizarre music. Sublime dancing and story telling given what they had to work with. 10 from me.
How on earth Danny and Oti did not win is still a mystery. I cannot even remember who won that year.
Some employee of the BBC - say no more . . . . . . .
Christine Stuart-Monteith Ore and Joeanne
Danny should have definitely won strictly. He was, and is, the best that’s been on.
This was the definition of "Fierce"... well done Danny & Oti.. deserved all 10's in my eyes...
I think I have watched this 100 times, and I still get the chills and goosebumps all over. My favourite dance ever on Strictly
Oti is insanely beautiful
Bill Bailey won the 2020 comp with Oti just before Christmas,... However Danny & Oti although they didn't win the final back in 2016 are the best couple there has ever been on strictly...
amazing...they had to work with the song and they killed it.
I think they fully understood the sensual nature of the dance, but, the song is about cheating, and the introduction set the scene for an argument. It was like he was sort of disgusted with her, but also the romantic chemistry between them lined every movement, because they are so attuned. Ugh, words cant express, it was like watching a section of a film and without words you feel their entire life story. It's usually like two new lovers expressing passion for the first time, but this was like a mature couple reawakening passion in the emotional battle of a painful ending and betrayal. This is very rarely the theme of the argentine tango. But nevertheless it feels like it captures the very essence of the dance.
Esther Ninsiima, And the story behind the song is even more interesting. The writer later stated that the lyrics were all based on erroneous information! Seems the young lady he was smitten with was no "betrayer" at all, but he did not find that out until years after the song had been out. A man had erroneously told him she was leaving town to be with an old flame, but she herself, years later, told him (the writer) she'd only left because she'd been offered a job in another town! Needless to say, he was Floored!
I'm no dancer.... But that looked F$£king Awesome to me....
He is Amazing.
From 🇬🇧.
The BEST Argentine Tango I have seen on Strictly and to the music. Who would even dislike this!? Danny and Oti, you should be extremely proud. Choreography, lifts, legs, chemistry... Ahhhhh! 😍
Best celebrity and professional dancer pairing!! Danny was incredible! This dance was sexy and incredible!!
Heavens these 2 should go on tour. They just take my breath away
Thats insane footwork right there. Oti is an amazing choreographer. Love her
I couldn't take my eyes off her. She's so strong, sensual and excellent.
The best dance ever on Strictly.
phenomenal footwork here! as this argentine tange wasn't danced on a specific argentine tango piece of music to me it felt it actually changed the "traditional story telling" of the dance.. this story was not so much about desire, sensuality building up to have the gaucho and the girl "end up.... somewhere..", it became more a story of a conflict rising and instead of desire building up it would lead to a break up. I thought that was very original and powerful
Irene Enghardt yes!! I'm not alone! Yet there is still elements of the intimacy, as the passion in which they argue is almost like a re-awakening of the passion of first love. And the anger and hurt causes their hearts to beat again with the same intensity of a first love. They have a bond drawing them together. It's less discovery And more re-discovery. They do the dance they know so well but the trust is gone and new passion flooded with distain.
Gorgeous. The dance was amazing too 😉
Beyond perfection🔥the best Argentine tango I've ever seen on the show😍 deserved a 40💃🏾they are outstanding and should definitely win, no question about it👑
Neve Whinn I want to like your comment like...... a billion times.
Not too sure if that final lift went wrong (probably not) - but I got to say, besides being more grounded at times to serve as a stronger lead - this was pretty much perfection. 10 from me.
Avilst got that impression too
it looked the same in their rehearsal package so it probably was meant to look like that :P
Avilst He needs to lead, at the moment you cannot see action reaction, which makes the dancing look artificial.
iluvsoulmusic Compared to the other contestants he does. However that is not a useful comparison. In ballroom it takes time to transmit the lead, which causes a slight delay between man's action and Lady's reaction. You cannot see it here, which suggests Oti is acting before she gets the full lead. Watching his dancing, I suspect it's because of his leg action, but videos aren't the best for analyzing. I'm not in anyway saying his dancing is bad, just that is the thing that really stands out from a casual glance.
I think I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of men who have learned how to do a proper lead in Strictly - and normally they're not really, it's their female pros who are better at faking it. They have quite enough to do learning a new technique and a new routine in about 3 and a half days. Oti is a very assertive dancer and I think less inclined to give Danny his way!
Most amazing tango I’ve ever had the privilege of watching.
He should have won it that year
Best Dance of the Night. Should Of Been 10's across the Board
Loooove Oti and he was a great partner for her. Best couple ever!
I keep looking at that cute old couple clapping quietly and I bet it these dances bring that fond memories as I'm sure this kind of dance's were where you would take a young lady you were getting to know respectably.
Best dance of the series so far without doubt!!
This should've been a 40...
But moving on, how freaking awesome is this cover of this song. I LOVE it... wish there was a full version
Angie Gatfield SAME. Been searching for one for months!
Angie Gatfield, What's interesting about the song is the writer of it said he finally learned the truth that makes the lyrics a huge mistake! He'd been smitten w/ a lady, but was erroneously (deliberately?) told she was leaving town to go back to an old love. He wrote the song w/o even talking w/ her about it. Years later he saw her & finally asked HER & she said there was NO "old flame!" She'd only gone to another town because she'd found a better job there! The whole song was based on a LIE - perhaps perpetuated by a man who'd wanted the young lady for himself and tried to get him (the writer) out of the picture or perhaps who was just repeating idle, False gossip!
AMAZING! That's all I have to say.
God DAMN. How this man did not win I will never know!
super saiyan wow, I didn't know that! Agreed!
A public vote the BBC are refusing to make 'public'
A crying shame, I bet Danny could cry tears of rage...all the hard work for nothing. As you say judges could not have been more transparent re who they wanted to win. it's a disgrace
This dance continues to stand the test of time, both past and present. The combination of talent, skill and chemistry between the pair is unsurpassed!
Who still watching this Tango in 2020
One of the best dances I have ever seen on this programme.He is astoundingly good.
He's ma fave and so cute! Luv his charleston and samba too!
Watching during Covid lockdown - and this is every bit as brilliant as I remember...
cant get enough of this clip just wish it was longer. danny's steps are so clean he looks like a professional dancer. love this dance
My god the footwork!! Can't even see it in slow motion!!
Jeez Oti, are you for real? Always out of this world!
Perfect partners
I think the Argentine tango Is a stunning dance so powerful and graceful all at the same time
AMAZING!
Still watching these two dance and still think they were the best ever seen on Strictly. Sheer magic they should have won that year. How they didnt is beyond me
Danny mac, Perfect specimen of a male dancer
Danny & Oti's saucy tango...just expectacular
