I completely relate to what you're saying, Pet Monkey. I also thought his Paso was magnificent and very much in keeping with his slightly reserved personality. I actually loved his haughty expression during the ballroom dances!
I thought his Charleston was fun to watch but I think it came more naturally to him the second time he performed it in the final.
His dancing really touched me (as I'm sure it did alot of people) and I didn't care whether he was technically perfect or not. (And I believe he was! )
He seems so soft-spoken and shy! :eek: He really is an unusual character for someone so 'out there' in performance terms.
Louis is a perfect bundle of contradictions, yes, and that is one reason why I will follow and engage with his life and career with passionate interest, both on this thread and "in real life" too! I am sure that there will always be surprises through the coming years as he matures and develops other facets of his character. His complex personality intrigues me. I cannot stand bland, shallow people.

Pffffft! The blue plaid suit is just on the dividing line between cool and Leo Sayer!! :cool: On balance, I like it. Or rather i like him for wearing it. It takes a particular kind of man to pull that off. (eg put Anton in it and he'd look like one of Ronnie Corbett's golfing buddies)

Hey, I used to love Leo Sayer! I was about 6 at the time though Agree with you about his Paso, it was a thing of beauty. Really loved the Charleston too (which is a dance I usually hate) apart from his facial expression at the end which is definitely forced and a tad cringe worthy :eek: Much better second time round.

Oh Monkey!!! :D:D Well, as no-one has asked my opinion, I'll give it.....I think Louis suits that suit to a T (tee - get it?) because both are quirky and a one-off (I hope). The pattern would swamp me and I'd be made to lie down so that people could play a strange game of draughts on me. Louis, you are so idiosyncratic! :rolleyes:

Even better third time around, in my opinion. Have always agreed about the Paso but we now know that the script called for a putting down of that dance and corresponding under-marking. :mad:

I'm starting to think you just like people with initials LS.
I'm going to be honest, last year I was supporting Kimberley so I watched that Paso with covert 'go on... fall over!' feelings, but at the same time I was mesmerised by its weirdly offhand intensity. When at the end the judges were hard-faced about it I was amazed, and on Louis's side for the first time.

Was going to ask... The colours are subdued, the checks are LOUD. Yep, a bundle of contradictions.
BBC audio interview with Luke Carson today - for Colliefan and anyone else interested. There is extant a video of Luke sustaining his devastating injury but it's way too upsetting and distressing to post here.
Stop trying to be high falutin', Korks! Just cos I said Luke Skywater.
Oh, I suppose there's the character Lucy Snowe in Charlotte Brontë's Villette too. Or the Pre-Raphaelite artists' model Lizzie Siddal
*swanks slightly*
Actually, I'm reminding myself of David Brent. You just know I googled my 'knowledge'

I do like an unpredictable man who keeps me guessing; don't you? :eek::D:o:D

Here's one from earlier this year that I can't remember seeing. Apologies if already posted.

That is spooky :eek:
Right, I'm hitting google to see who else I can find. But in the meantime let's just test this thing with Louis Spence... *stares quizzically*
Lisa Snowdon?
Teehee! :D
And the theory falls apart right there.
And there.
Final test and then we declare you cured :cool:
Luke Skywalker?
Lord Sugar?
Lisa Stansfield?
Lee Strasberg
Linda Smith
Leon Smith (!)
