I really don't understand why people are so surprised by Bills capabilities. There are two things I know of him. 1. He has rhythm as hell. 2. He is completely unafraid of making a fool of himself. Both of which are important qualities of a great dancer. Go Bill!
The only reason I love Bill's dances every week is the fact that he actually enjoys it and doesn't care about the mistakes he makes. Absolutely a pleasure to watch, having the time of his life😊
You really need to do something about that. I'm a year younger than Bill and I go running with my 20 year old son with no trouble. If you genuinely have problems going up stairs at your age and aren't just saying it for effect then please get moving before it's too late. You will regret wasting your youth if you don't!
@@PALESPANOLA and he’s decided to take it up at 55. Hats off to him every single week for his dedication to the training & for fighting through the pain this week. His legs have been killing him :(
You could tell after this dance he was exhausted! You know what he tried his best and I love how well he worked and performed. The choreo was great as always and the costumes slayed! :) the cameras I don’t really know what they are doing with them, it’s not right.
I'm in my 20s and would never have the energy to do that. Bill smashes expectations every week! I thought he'd struggle with the Jive but he's pulled it out of the bag. A few minor mistakes but he's so great to watch! Love these two 👏🏼
You can see where he makes a tiny mistake near the end but he’s such a pro it looks part of the dance. Didn’t deserve to have marks taken away for that, he’s incredible!
Yes! When I first saw him being partnered with Oti I was like “oh wow! That’s sad (because I thought he would be terribly and slow) but then I was like I get it because Oti won strictly last year so they wouldn’t want her to win again.” But honestly he is unreal! They both honestly deserve to go to the final. Bill proved me wrong because he is a FLAMING, HOT, FIRECRACKER!
Gosh! I love Bill and Oti. He is such an incredible act, he shocks us every week. The jive is a difficult dance but he did so well! Wish I could vote for him, but I am not in the UK...
Always loved Bill's comedy, but it's incredible that we get to see this facet of him. So dedicated, and love the research he puts into the dances. He's a person who really deserves to be in the final.
He's the same age as my dad who, while not a dancer, is constantly disappearing to go running or cycling purely because he enjoys it. I know those don't involve nearly as much technique, but to be able to be that generally active at that age really isn't some kind of miracle, at least in my experience.
Definitely Dougs eyes and nose. A Debbie Harry classic. Enjoyed seeing your artwork Bill. And Anne McPherson(Blondies artwork at church!) just not impressed with joe Hughes Suggs shenanigans with labi siffre! 😩 pain city!
His stamina and focus is so impressive for his age as we've seen these past weeks with Bill! There were a few mistakes but he just comes out and completely sells his routines and superb teaching from Oti she can truly turn anyone into a dancer, 8!
Bill is the biggest delight this series. He puts everything into his performance and in this routine, he's having fun. Teaming him with Oti was brilliant.
I never saw a 55 year old with such light feet! Also obviously, as he was there in the 70s, there is an authenticity which is hard to make if you weren't there (I'm an honourary 70s person. I was there for 3 and a half years).
Shirley keeps acting like he's a 7 year old who learn trigonometry like can we treat him like a normal contestant? Yes he's very good for his age but it doesn't need to be said every bloody week. Also this was a very good dance, bouncy with good kicks and brilliant energy. 8
Oti is incredible but she's a professional. Let's never forget that Bill is man in his 50s with no experience. He just throws himself into it with such joy!
*Bill Bailey is the only legit reason I'm watching Strictly Come Dancing this year. He's such an incredible dancer and the contestant who definitely STANDS OUT in the show 4 me. So 4 that reason, I wan't Bill and Oti 2 WIN!! COME ON BILL AND OTI, YOU CAN FRICKIN' DO IT!! :)*
Wow, Bill....You were great on week one but this was spectacular! You are a joy to watch, you just get better and better. Who'd have thought you'd be so nifty on your feet?
I don't watch TV any more, but when I found out Bill was on, well, I had to come and see this. He's fantastic! Of course, that's not surprising. Inspirational.
So much energy, commitment, drive and musicality. Kicks and flicks were very good and the airplane turn section was fab also he had some great toe heal swivel. I didn't understand all the stomping backwards thought that was unnecessary. But he has great stamina and he performs it brilliantly. Did he go wrong? Yes, did he pick it back up again? Yes. He hasn't made a single mistake all series so I'm impressed he lasted 5 weeks no mistakes. He didn't extend his lines enough but his posture is really improving. Good side by side kick ball changes. Not his best but it's definitely one of the best older male Jive in strictly history. *8/10* 9 without the mistake
Oti is a straight up miracle worker! I repeat Oti is a miracle worker! Who would of thought that after his first performance he would be dancing like this! I mean he made some mistakes but this was still so good!
Ok Jive is the dance I was worried for with Bill, cuz it is a marathon. And admittedly I do think he started losing steam in the end. But still every week he impresses me with how well he can take on Oti's choreo. (8)
Even if that wasn’t his best dance, I really appreciate the effort he puts into every style, and the choreography. They’re already my winners, and the only reason I’ve watched Strictly this year 😋
The YT algorerhythm sent this my way. Bill is a real musician. Bill is a real funny guy. And Bill is really having fun here. I don't know that he wins, but yay! Thank you, Bill.
Bless his cotton sockssssssss he was so out of breath at the end. Bill you put SO much effort into every week, you do US proud as your biggest fans xxx
This wasn't his strongest dance. But I feel like the jive is one of the hardest dances. Oti is simply stunning though and I loved that painting of her whoever did it
Brilliant!! Bill and Oti are such a great pairing, and as multi-talented as he already was, who knew Bill had this in him?!? (And the 46 thumbs down as of this writing: who peed in your porridge?)
I think Manny actually died during the operation to remove the Little Book of Calm and these Strictly dances are his brain making up memories before he passed 😂
Same here. I think this show is far superior than the US version. I wish they would do a full show on their channel, I like to hear what the judges have to say and their scores.
I'm glad you like it so much! Who are your favourites? I just saw a video of the top 20 worst dances on Dancing With the Stars, and as I'm a fan of Strictly who's not entirely familiar with DWTS I thought I'd take a look at it. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/azLb9QfxlkQ/видео.html
@@noahunnisett4644 Danny J J also has a couple of years on Bill but has a dance background so was naturally fit and supple for the show. Bill’s had to correct his posture and really fire up his energy levels. He is a phenomenon 👍🏻
@@jen6879 Well yeah, but Debbie I think had a background in ballet and belly dancing (I may be wrong) which kinda gave her an unfair advantage...but she was still good! But I agree Bill's energy is awesome! I really hope he gets to the final!
I really don't understand why people are so surprised by Bills capabilities. There are two things I know of him. 1. He has rhythm as hell. 2. He is completely unafraid of making a fool of himself. Both of which are important qualities of a great dancer. Go Bill!
Well said/typed. So pleased he's adored as he's such a Top fella with many skills.
I think age plays a big factor in why people are so surprised, they don't expect a 55 year old bloke with a dad bod
That may be true, but the ability to pick this up and master the choreography so quickly is not something quickly learned, especially at his age.
@@edwardharriss1463 Absolutely right!
@@edwardharriss1463 Also he has made his career as being a bit “silly”. Thats not a criticism, someones people do a persona so well you fool EVERYONE
I dont even watch strictly, bill is the only reason why i log onto youtube every week and watch the dance
Not just me then! 😂
Same here!
And me!
Haha me five! 😉
Count me in as well. The list is growing.
What the! Wasnt he set up for the comedy value alone? I love how hes giving it his all. I think his love of music is what drives his rhythm. Fair play
HIs sense for music and rhythm is his advantage over the other contestants. He only needs to learn the physical part.
If they set up him for comedic value, he turned the tables on them: HE decides when he’s the comedian, and when he goes all in for art. 😉
Yes, they totally cast him for comedy value expecting him to be terrible, and he turned out to be shit-hot!
They cast him to be the first one out of the comp, and they were taught a hefty lesson in return xD
The only reason I love Bill's dances every week is the fact that he actually enjoys it and doesn't care about the mistakes he makes. Absolutely a pleasure to watch, having the time of his life😊
I enjoy watching him. They all say it's their best time. You can see it with Bill.
And if he's making mistakes, he's so professional that he just keeps going. A real pro in everything he does. I've loved his comedy for years.
Definitely rooting for Bill and Oti. I don't even watch Strictly as I live outside the UK but I'm a fan of Bill. 🤞😉
You can get strictly and the BBC outsidse of england, you know? Me and my grandmother watch it from switzerland.
I’ve only seen him on Graham Norton but he seems very down to earth! Rooting for him as well.
Me too!
A huge Fan of Bill, originally from QI.
I can assure you, this is the only way I’ve ever been able to see any Strictly in the U.S. 😉😜
@@samlerf 8
Is there ANYTHING that Bill Bailey can’t do? He’s amazing. If he ever tours the U.S., it’ll be SOLD OUT.
Oti’s energy is just amazing and bill is doing so well to keep up with her stamina - she’s an amazing teacher!!
SERIOUSLY HOW IS HE SO FIT?? I cant even go up the stairs without being out of breath and I'm 21
he isn't that old ffs
@@ajrein4226 oop someone’s 50+ 😆

You should see how out of breath the pros are performing the jive! Oti could barely talk after this dance!
You could tell after this dance he was exhausted! You know what he tried his best and I love how well he worked and performed. The choreo was great as always and the costumes slayed! :) the cameras I don’t really know what they are doing with them, it’s not right.
I'm a fair bit younger than Bill, and I'd have been knackered as well
Bill Bailey a man with many talents. Loved him in black books and now find out he can dance like a pro.
I'm in my 20s and would never have the energy to do that. Bill smashes expectations every week! I thought he'd struggle with the Jive but he's pulled it out of the bag. A few minor mistakes but he's so great to watch! Love these two 👏🏼
@j4Rose it was meant to be a compliment about his energy 👍🏼
You can see where he makes a tiny mistake near the end but he’s such a pro it looks part of the dance. Didn’t deserve to have marks taken away for that, he’s incredible!
Agree Shona. Great dancer and this partnership is lifting everyone up.
Bill is the dark horse of this competition and honestly I’m rooting for him!
I’ve great news
I knew he'd have rhythm because he's extremely talented making and performing music but wow! What a legend 😁❤
Not in the Australian sense of the word, or maybe you are.
@@alexveldhuis6004 😂 brilliant
So proud 😊 thank you
I'm so proud of oti and bill for coming this far!! 🇿🇦💖
Yes! When I first saw him being partnered with Oti I was like “oh wow!

How can anyone concentrate with Oti, she is beyond stunning!
Gosh! I love Bill and Oti. He is such an incredible act, he shocks us every week. The jive is a difficult dance but he did so well! Wish I could vote for him, but I am not in the UK...
Brilliant. The dance that can make or break you. He has to win! Sublime!!
Always loved Bill's comedy, but it's incredible that we get to see this facet of him. So dedicated, and love the research he puts into the dances. He's a person who really deserves to be in the final.
He's brilliant
Can Shirley stop mentioning his age every week. He isn't 80
He's the same age as my dad who, while not a dancer, is constantly disappearing to go running or cycling purely because he enjoys it. I know those don't involve nearly as much technique, but to be able to be that generally active at that age really isn't some kind of miracle, at least in my experience.
And she is 60 while he is only 55.
Exactly. He’s only 55!!!!
I agree. She makes out he is like Methuselah! I would imagine if someone mentioned her age (60), she wouldn’t like it. x
Definitely Dougs eyes and nose. A Debbie Harry classic. Enjoyed seeing your artwork Bill. And Anne McPherson(Blondies artwork at church!) just not impressed with joe Hughes Suggs shenanigans with labi siffre! 😩 pain city!

Bill is the biggest delight this series. He puts everything into his performance and in this routine, he's having fun. Teaming him with Oti was brilliant.
What I like about Bill, especially in this dance, is that he dances like a bloke, but it still looks great.
Amazing,! Go Bill Bailey , 🤞 he makes it to.the final .
I never saw a 55 year old with such light feet! Also obviously, as he was there in the 70s, there is an authenticity which is hard to make if you weren't there (I'm an honourary 70s person. I was there for 3 and a half years).
HONORARY!
wdym he ‘dances like a bloke but it still looks great’? of course it looks great cause blokes can dance
I think they mean he dances like a dad..
He was the absolutely the best! Love Bill!
I love the choreography. This dance was incredible. It was such an energetic performance and Bill did so well!
Go Bill and Oti, should get through tonight, if not, lets see this jive again without the minor mistakes. Still want to see you both in the final.
Absolute banger from Bill!
I love that guy
Shirley keeps acting like he's a 7 year old who learn trigonometry like can we treat him like a normal contestant? Yes he's very good for his age but it doesn't need to be said every bloody week. Also this was a very good dance, bouncy with good kicks and brilliant energy. 8
This actually wasn't bad! The kicks were energetic and fully performed, love his performances🤩🥳
Sending love from South Africa ❤🇿🇦

He moves so well. His feet are quick and sure. Amazing!
I’m not surprised that Bill can dance. Watched him on Black Books you could tell he had rhythm . I love this video!

Beyond fabulous.

I love the moves
Bill is awesome!
*I REALLY hope they win!!!!* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯💯💯💯💯
He had some issues with this dance, but his stage presence is unmatched. Love these two.
Wow he's awesome!
This wasn't his strongest dance. But I feel like the jive is one of the hardest dances. Oti is simply stunning though and I loved that painting of her whoever did it
the painting was a print
Bill O so good!
I love how Bill and Oti do that same move Ed Balls did that made him look creepy but it just looks fun here
Last year Oti did it as well with Kelvin in the samba.
im pretty sure bill owns that vest xD
Will always vote for Bill & Oti. Got our votes for their Jive tonight. Bill & Oti to win the final😀👍🤼♀️🌟
He's a gentleman of style and substance! What a role model. Hope I'm that good when I get to his age.( Which won't be too long by the way)😆
Blondie Rocks !
Bloody fantastic. Just loved it.
Honestly I sort of feel like if he makes it to the final, he might very well win thanks to the public vote alone.
I loved this routine
The master returns.
Bill is the best dancer of all ...ermmm... middle-aged SCD male participants. He is my all-time middle-aged favorite. After Debbie, of course.
Stay strong stay safe strictly love ya well done so glad you won show must go on legends xxx
Every week Bill showed he was 100% into his dances with OTI ,congrats guys
