I really enjoyed that, Amber! You lost timing a little in the middle and it was a little overboard with the cheese, but I definately enjoyed it nonetheless!

Score: 8/10

Now this is what I'm talking about! So much sass, so much personality, you rocked the entire routine, and it may have been a bit stumbly on technique, but performance-wise I loved it.

Just a quick notice that the Salsa will not be involved in the decade dances - it has been replaced by Hip-Hop.

Chilli, this was your dance! I loved it, you replicated the true razzle dazzle of the movie.

Wow, LeToya! It wasn't your best dance as I know you have done better before but even so, I loved this. You replicated Whitney with a little touch of Britney tonight.

Another fantastic performance LeToya. It was so spellbindingly emotional, you took thought to give every last speck of your soul into that. Another than a small number of minor errors, it was pretty much perfect.
