There was more dancing & lifts in Kara's which was a lot harder. I still didn't think it was very good but it wasn't as bad as Matt's.

Nor me. [/quote]

last years showdances were so much better.

That was one mistake that flowed from the missed lift but Matt and Aliona's whole routine was a mistake, it looked like a gymnastic routine where you take time to centre yourself before the somersaults. I didn't like any of them for differing reasons, but Kara and Artem's would have been ok if danced without the errors.

I have my own opinions thanks, I don't care what the judges say. I didn't think Pamela's was good because it was insane for a 60 year old woman to take on Baby & it was silly of James to echo a routine that we all know. (Minus the hardest lift at the end).

I wasn't a fan of any of the show dances. However I agree that Matt was harshly marked. They were all about the same to me although I think Kara's was the worst as the extortionate amount of lifts forced her to make several mistakes.

15 minutes to vote for Matt guys. We need him to get to the final.

I disagree. 7 was about right, because for at least the first 16 bars they were wildly out of time. Matt started half a bar too late and by the time they'd got back into sync we were halfway through. Poor. Show Gym - sorry, Show DANCE was a bit pants. Insuffucient dance content, poor linkage through the phrasing and as much musicality as the Portsmouth Sinfonia.

you've got to admit aswell the judges can be con artists too.

break dancing is bordering to gymnastics... and break dancing is a dance... lot of youngsters of course like break dancing.

The bias is for Pamela IMO! seriously if Bruce mentions Billy one more time or I hear that she is 61 I'm gonna throw my shoe at the tv!!!

Were they? I've just watched it back and they both seem in sync and right on the beat to me.

It wasn't even good breakdancing though - it was slightly embarrassing Blue-Peter-presenter-does-street...

I don't have a problem with the type of the dance I have a problem with the way they danced it.

My son's 11 and a breakdancer and his group wouldn't keep stopping like that to get into position!

Have to agree with you but at least Matt and Kara gave it a go and showed us something different, unlike Pamala's which was like any dance you could have seen from the last few weeks...totally unoriginal


Most definitely for sure...Pamala way over marked again.

Craig and his illegal lifts...Brucie's response to that was his best of the season

I would have to plump for Kara on tonight's performances and hopefully Pamela out first.

Agree too!

It's unbelievable!!!

AND after the judges said they expect to be wowed by the showdance, I'm surprised they didn't nod off!
I'm sorry but there was no wow in Pamela's dance, she has had many dances this series with more wow factor, and every one of Matt and kara's has had more!

At least Matt and Kara had risk! It's gonna be like Darren Gough all over again, play it safe and take home the trophy! Makes me livid!

The idea that there is bias against Matt makes me laugh his poor me give me a 10 act must be working. It was a showdance not a tumbling contest.

Totally agree - but it's all too late. Notdead must go....

I dont agree, Matt did not have enough dance content but was more athletic. Kara had so much more dance and content. I am sure if she had pulled it off she would have got all 10s. She is easily the best dancer this year!

Yes, it seems there are a lot of us that are fed up with the bias, but I am sure that it is because the judges want James to win, who has never even been in the final before.

If Pamela gets through then we all need to vote for whoever is in the final against her! Dont let the bias judges win!

Kara's didn't have much dance content either, apart from a few disco moves.

She was definitely over-marked on this occasion. You could even hear her saying the scores were very generous.

And I like her.

I can understand it. They are undermarking Matt to get him votes. Putting Kara in the danger middle place so she will go. They want a Pamela/Matt final.

They were all disappointing but at least Pamela's and Matt's were well executed.

My walk across the living room floor is well executed (especially for my age), but it doesn't deserve to win.

Balderdash! She spent the whole time with her legs flailing in the air (her favourite position apparently) thats not dancing thats just a state of perma-lift

Oh dear, do you care to explain quite what that comment means.
