After Hayley's performance tonight there has been a bit of debate as to where it stands against other performances across the years. Thought it was worth starting a separate thread on this.

So, what are your top 5 performances from DOI history. Only rule is that you can only pick 1 performance from each couple (and believe you me I had trouble limiting it to just 1 from Kyran & Mel).

Here is mine.

1. Chasing Cars - Kyran & Mel
2. Music - Suzanne & Matt
3. Time Warp - Chris & Frankie
4. Since U Been Gone - Clare & Andrei
5. Rock around the Clock - Ray & Maria

Jai Ho just missed out but I could change my mind. Am sure they will repeat this in the final and on tour. It was only after seeing Ray's routine on tour that I realised how good that was.

Oh god, serious problems for Suzanne, Chris and Kyran limiting to just one, cos they've produced several of the routines of the series, especially chris and suzanne. To be honest I find a little unfair to limit people that have produced lots of great rotuines to just one and that it therefore wont really be an accurate reflection cos i'd have music, since you've been gone, walk on by, cry me a river and chasing cars as my top five. The likes of time warp, fame, time to say goodbye, Rock around the Clock and canned heat would just miss out (all great).

1. Suzanne & Matt Music
2. Clare & Andrei Since you've been gone
3. Chris & Frankie Cry me a river
4. Kyran & Mel Chasing cars
5. Ray & Maria the starship one

I agree it's really hard to choose for some people, they have loads whereas others have one or two only.
Really close between la vida loca/ cry me a river/time warp for chris, time to say goodbye/fame/music/walk on bye for suzanne. Also kyran it's really close between chasing cars and billie jean!! And quite undecided as to the 5th one, between lots of peoples!

1. Music Suzanne & Matt
2. Use Somebody Ray & Maria
3. Billie Jean Kyran & Mel
4. Cry me a river Chris & Frankie
5. Material Girl Bonnie & Matt

In no particular order.

Ray and Maria - Use Somebody
Suzanne and Matt - Music
Clare and Andre - Since You've Been Gone
Stefan and Kristina - Mr Bojangles
and now Hayley and Matt - J ai Ho is another contender.

Well I know series 1 was a step into the unknown; no one knew just how far the celebs could be pushed - but because it was the first routine to completely capture my imagination I will put Stephan and Kristina way up there. It didn't embrace the difficulties of more recent performances but it was magical - and for this reason I also recall the excitement Clare and Andrei evoked with that superb lift in Since You've Been Gone.

Sorry...I know it's tough for some couples but I thought if I limited it to 1 per couple we would get a better selection overall & avoid people picking 3 or 4 from their fave couple which is always tempting. And as I said I found it difficult too.

Oh I agree with this list - mainly because I wasn`t a big fan of Kyran and Chris - also would put Endless Love - Hayley and Dan on my list but I`m not allowed two

I think Music would be my No 1 favourite
