Leave Alesha Dixon Alone
I am outraged at the press surounding the axing of alrene and replacing her with alesha .
I love alesha , her dancing experenice is yes not as experinced as arelene but i think alesha is being added to the panel for her experirnce on strictly and her perfance talents. its not her fault she got offered the job , if you got offered the job u would turn it down. If you would turn it down ur lying On the age matter its wrong to get rid of older people on tv but i dont feel thats the problem . Also i know singing singing and dancing is different but look what cheryl cole has done for the x factor . She replaced sharon osbourne. It bought a new lease of life into the show and i feel that is what will happen with strictly come dancing. Also the panel there is no diversity on it with bringing darcey and alesha in . |

I really do like Alesha very much, she is lovely, but she has no credentials to be a judge. If Tess was going on maternity leave (?), Alesha would make a good stand in presenter but it is not right that she is a judge. I don't know why she accepted the position, apart from the obvious (money), and she makes plenty of that doing what she is good at.

No. I don't think she would even have won her series given a fair fight against Gethin. She certainly does not deserve to be on the judging panel.

I don't know why Alesha accepted this I must admit because not only is she wrong for the job but it means that anyone who ever disliked her now has ammunition and some folks who previously liked her will be turned against her by it including I suspect some of the pros who previously respected and admired her. |

![]() I don't think it really matters whether she was the best dancer in her series, or in the history of the show. None of the celebrities has enough training in the course of one series to have even a hope of being able to spot technique in others. |

Alesha, from the knees up was a showman, from the knees down it was a catastrophe, but she won it because of her showmanship and of course Brucie selling her as the next Beyonce, what a laugh. |

Hand on my heart, I would turn it down. I would never take a job I wasn't qualified for, and that is purely for selfish reasons. It would be bad for my self-esteem, and there would be no security in it because I could never be confident that I wouldn't be asked to leave. And it being televised for all the nation to see just makes it worse- why would you want millions of people to see you making a mess of something?

You could certainly make an argument for Gethin winning, but I think most people would say Alesha deserved it because she was consistently excellent, which Gethin was not.

I don't see what the problem is, Dancing on Ice have two judges that have zero ice dancing experience, at least Alesha learnt how to dance.

Yes but the two Dancing on Ice judges who have no skating experience are both professional dancers and coreographers (infact exactly what Arlene is) and are there to judge performance (as the other 3 judges comment on the skating) Alesha has zero professional dancing training or experience and is therefore not qualified to judge other people dancing.

Maybe Alesha will be there to just judge the performance then, if DOI has unqualified judges that base on different things than the other judges then I don't see why it can't work on SCD.

The judges on DOI are the reason I don't watch it. I like SCD because the judges are qualified - it lends authority to the show and makes it into something more than a show where celebrities can just use it to try to get back into the limelight.
1 out of 4 of the SCD dancers is qualified (Len) (Bruno, Craig and Arlene are choreographers, but not in the ballroom and latin discipline and so only have some related expertise. Craig has written a book on ballroom dancing although it is difficult to tell how much was self authored). Like kp2ni I think the DOI panel is better balanced. |

You are forgetting of course that she had 3 or 4 months of intensive training with Matthew Cutler during the series, and i am sure that is a lot more ballroom or latin training than MOST of the judges have ever had ( expect perhaps Len) PLUS she had to perform in front of the judges and viewers on live TV every week, so i find it hard to agree that she is not qualified to comment on others beginning the same experience |

That is exactly why people like Alesha are successful, because they are confident and dont sit around worrying what people like you think, the same logic could have applied when she was offered the chance to dance in Strictly, but she took the chance and she was fantastic, as i am sure she will be on this series

Alesha is a fine person and a fine judge if they want to try and make the judging panel more viewer friendly but surrendering to the anti-Judge vote or trying to appease it by looking nicer is so unlikely to work it doesn't make much sense trying. |
