Does this saying irritate anyone else? No wonder some of the taller people have a complex about doing the Jive. Hopefully Jade has now dispelled this myth. Aaron Carter did a very good Jive on DWTS this week and I think he's fairly tall.
"Tall people can't Jive"
Bugs me.
Ian Waite = Tall. Great jiver.
Matthew Cutler = Tall. Great jiver.
Brendan Cole = Tall. Great jiver.
Then in dancesport,
Bryan Watson = Tall. Great jiver.

I agree, but they've been doing it for quite a while longer than any of the celebs. However, Jade did show that it isn't necessarily true anymore. Great jive by a tall person

Tall people can't jive? I give you.........Matthew Cutler.
Agree with all of the above. BUT, at last, a tall celeb contestant who gave a credible performance in the jive (quick rendition of the Halleluja chorus ), and probably the best jive of the series so far.
Laurab88 has got it pretty right though. Just a typical judges pre-conception. Pah! Wadda they know?

Honey, if I had him, I would not be selling him, let alone giving him away.
Did you see Jade and Ian's reaction when they got through on the public vote? I think even they'd convinced themselves that tall people can't jive!

I thought that was more because of the precarious position they had on the leaderboard (4th if memory serves). Very happy they're through.

Fair point! Not adverse to sharing!
However on topic.......very pleased for Jade and Ian! Sucker for a tall blond!

Yummm , Ok . I take him gladly
Tall people can't jive and white men can't jump (see the film of the same name for more on that).
I don't know what tall white men can't do.

Tall people may not be able to jive but, by goodness don't they look as if they have a lot of fun trying!
Ian and Jade sure proved them wrong tonight - they were outstanding!
I love how Ian always includes a 'wow' moment in his routines as well. Makes them stand out.

Agreed, probably because last time they were around that position they were in the dance off. I think (or perhaps just hope) that they've picked up a few fans & votes since then.
I really enjoyed the routine and am looking forward to next weeks tango
