    Personally I am over the Layton and Amanda drama. It’s getting ridiculous. Amanda is gone, period. Fans trying to make her come back is dumb. Layton ? If he was doing basic choreography I would gripe but he isn’t. Don’t care if he danced before, Nikita is not going easy on him and shouldn’t. He is putting in the hours and training like everyone else. Not voting for him for that reason is also dumb! My dislike this season is the judging! That to me is more concerning than the drama people are creating. Anton’s one up, Shirley’s ridiculous 10, critizing one dancer for not doing the proper dance but praising another for not doing the proper dance, calling out numerous mistakes and calling out missed timings and scoring them 8’s and 9’s? What the heck is going on? Total bias or bs? No credibility this season whatsoever. Sorry you want to gripe about unfair? Concentrate on the ridiculous judging!!!

    I too love listening to you both. I am pleased James that you mentioned Angela Rippon's age, it does make a difference to stamina when you are older. My partner and I are in our early 70s and are taking ballroom dancing classes as beginners that we so enjoy, but we are conscious how challenging it is to do the quicker dances because of less agility than decades ago and, also, it takes longer to register the steps; we congratulate ourselves each week that we manage to learn a new step! We cannot imagine how the contestants learn so much in one week. Thanks again and I have pressed subscribe! 🚻

Ellie is really becoming a contender and that’s what we all love to see. I just love her so much they both radiate so much positivity too!! Layton is amazing but even though he has immense talent you can see his ballroom is a place where he can really grow and he’s learning with every ballroom dance!! I can’t wait to see how everyone progresses with the build up to Blackpool!! 🎉

    Re. Angela & Carlos's paso doble to Black Swan from _Swan Lake._ I was surprised that the music was not the famous hip-hop _Swan Lake,_ a short program skated by Daisuke Takahashi in 2008. It's still talked about in Japan in skating circles. Agree with James's prediction for next bottom two: Adam and Annabel. I thought she and Johannes were elegant and aristocratic. That's not enough at this stage, but they looked beautiful together. Kudos to the hair person who thought up little horns in a short Afro for Johannes.

    Ellie, Nikita and Nigel, perform and dances draw you in. Shirley is banging on about mistakes each week "play it back", she needs reminding its a Saturday night entertainment show, not a professional competition. She will take the joy out of the show if she is picky picky all the time and doesn't see the brilliance of a performance. Nigel and Katya have got that performance magic, and her choreography is first class. She gets what the audience at home wants, Shirley has lost sight of that.

Really enjoyed Leyton, Nigel & Angela S this week. I don’t think it helps when the judges mention footwork yet most the time we’re watching waist up! I feel Carlos has a bit of I’m best look at me & I feel he competes with his partners instead of show casing them this weeks was first I’ve enjoyed of theirs. I do get the Angela R stance of her age christ I couldn’t do that at 20! But I don’t feel they give her any critique & as she’s not getting 10’s there’s things she needs to work on like they tell to all others as good as, some better than her so I don’t think helps Angela corner. I think they want her there to Blackpool for nostalgia & that’s a full circle for her, which will be nice. Danger zone think Annabelle, Adam & Angela S due more to not having the supporters to vote perhaps but they give their all. And I agree with others get James in as a judge🙌🙌🙌

I mean, the dance itself was fun (not a big fan of the music choice…maybe that’s what threw me off) but when I compare it to Hamza’s EPIC salsa from last year, it doesn’t stand a chance.

    Very fair logical analysis for everyone; and yes Angela Scanlon and Carlos have a lovely partnership which has been undermarked until this week - where they performed to a level of detail which left the judges NO option but to give them decent marks. No favours done.
    Annabel is being carried by the wonderful Johannes and her error rate is rising like that of Nigel, and therefore should be in the bottom 2 with the soap actor who has been in the bottom 2 the last 2 times and he may escape again.

    I almost think the REAL competition hasn’t started. No one except for maybe EllIe and Layton have had breakout performances. I do not want Adam to go home., I think he’s one of my absolute favorites, especially who don’t have any training. I think A REALLY nice latin number would REALLY help him.this season more than ever I can see the producers hand in the show which is slightly taking away some of the enjoyment!!

    It seems 2023 is now the worst year for judges scoring. How the viewers decide is purely on their own choices, never look at the judges scores. I think what James suggested last week needs to happen - the judges scores should only be a guidance for viewers & not for the final vote, like how it is at the final. Judges can have a role in the dance off, but not for the rest of the show. Anyone agree?

Angela S is super popular, I believe she will make it to the semis if not the final - it will be between her , Ellie or Layton - the other 2 finalists will be Nigel and Bobbie. I was in the studio on Saturday and the show was amazing . I actually picked the bottom 2 of the night - I wasn't surprised Adam was one of the B2 with Zara.

    I really enjoy this post dance critique from James & Emmy. I get that SCD is an entertainment show, but I can guarantee you that if I was a contestant I would 💯 chose Craig as my judge if I could only select one from that panel. My aim would be to leave the show as a better dancer. I’d rather shed tears & stick pins in a voodoo doll of Craig than have the wishy washy marshmallow, over marking nonsense from Anton. If you implement & work on the critique you will improve. I wish I could replace Anton with James. I don’t always agree with his scores (we differ on Bobby), but he is balanced & honest in his appraisal. It’s a blessing to have this channel. Thank you both 🧡X

    I thought when I heard the scores and when Shirley called out the professional dancer she said about his lack of footwork and it made me smile and I believe they have been listening to you. I think Ellie was overmarked and found her very heavy footed and in between movements she stood still and lost flow. I like the younger Angela as she has fantastic footwork and yes when you train as an Irish dancer it is all about posture but she won’t find the steps hard compared to the complicated steps we trained from a young age. The biggest dance show in the world is Lord of the Dance so I’m biased. 😂.

  • @crazycatpetera1404
    @crazycatpetera1404 8 месяцев назад +4

    I don’t agree with the danger zone predictions fully. Adam is popular, I honestly think he was only in the bottom because he was forgotten a little, next week he’ll probably get extra votes to compensate for this so I don’t think he will be. Annabel is trickier, she hasn’t had a particularly strong performance yet but she’s admired and Johannes is very popular so I’m not sure if they will just yet. I think it depends on their dance this week, she’s very elegant so if they get a slow ballroom dance and finally deliver something special then they’ll be safe. I agree with Angela & Carlos, I don’t find her particularly likeable and unfortunately the Asian pro dancers don’t resonate particularly well with viewers because of the differences culturally and with language. All the International pros that are/were very popular (Oti, Dianne, Johannes, Giovanni, Vito) either speak English as their first language or they’re from western countries, usually Europe. I’ll say Angela & maybe Krishnan.

    Craig made an idiot of himself first by giving Bobby a 6!!! And then giving Angela Rippon a 9 for what he called a swivel master class. Watch that back and tell me that was swivel masterclass. It’s time Craig hung up his paddle he doesn’t even know what ballroom and Latin footwork he is meant to be looking for. I love Layton - Ellie and Bobby for all different reasons but ultimately they all entertain and give it 100% every week. Nigel is boring.

    I preferred the judges when it was Craig, Darcy, Len and Bruno - now in 2023, the judges panel is probably one of the most fake I have ever seen. Certainly Motsi and Shirley have their own plan of who they want to be in the final. Anton seems to just look at what the other judges score and add one extra point to it. Craig is his usual self, but seems to be more of a hack for the producers. I miss Len being head judge. RIP Len. True gentleman of Strictly.

They were from broadway, west end, pop artist, hip hop artist, and ice dancers and gymnasts. Some won and some didn’t. You seem to believe while everyone is training they go for dinner and drinks and just show up on Saturday? Really? Just because they’ve danced before doesn’t mean they are given easy choreography, they are given more difficult choreography. None are professionally trained in ballroom and all state how difficult it is. So they work their butts off, put in the hours, and learn a new dance style that is technically challenging and very precise but that’s not enough growth for you? Hmmmm? Concentrate on the crappy judging that to me is the drama this season not whether Layton works as hard as the others.
