Clearly, participants belonging to boybands get votes!? I hope if he wins he is the best dancer in the final on the night.

To some extent I agree with Osusana who said:

I just watched it twice again and it was faultless. Wonderful and even harder for a celebrity to lead

in a rumba, it is the function of the man to "show off the lady" and lead her. A good rumba also has a lot of rythmical body movement in a standing position for the male. Rumba's also are not "travelling dances" so there wont be a lot of movement across the floor.

I thought Aliona was very clever to put a series of fast spins to get them across the floor and add a dynamic to the dance.

Harry did all of this technical stuff brilliantly, as well as acting the dance. His scores were highly justified IMO, and if he hadnt have made the slight mistake in balance holding onto Aliona, I believe Craig would have given them a 10

Would you mind explaining why, or are you just attempting to be controversial, as usual?

Quite possibly the most ludicrous posting I have seen so far! IF you judge them on dancing ability that is, and I, like you, was a fan of Anita.
The rumba of Harry was of a very high standard indeed.

Not forgetting his awkward hands

His hands might be a little bit awkward at times but his arm placement and extension is perfect.

I cannot understand people saying he has no personality. He is not so exurberant as, say, Robbie, but is a far superior dancer - in fact he and Chelsee are the best dancers on the show and have been since day one.

I don't vote, but Harry may have needed the votes....his performance was fantastic- a rumba by a male is very rarely that good, but the standard was so a-maz-ing last night that he's in an unsafe position on the leaderboard, especially if people think Robbie and Alex need the votes more...

That said, I'm sure he was fine and it was Alex and Robbie in the bottom 2. Gorgeous males always seem to get a lot of votes on these things lol!

He spends his time in here making up ludicrous posts, it is just another pathetic attempt to get attention. Unfortunately we encourage him by reacting the way we do, when we should really put him on ignore.

I don't like the rumba and (until last night) I didn't give two hoots for Harry.

But I thought he was outstanding. That was the best male celeb rumba I remember. He deserved more credit for it. And Aliona too.

He did an amazing rumba, and most other weeks he has never disappointed! If there is any justice, it should be Chelsea or Harry in the final 2, they are by far the best dancers.

I refer not to just the Rumba - he does it in every dance!
Aliona's choreography is flashy and she does nearly all the dancing every time to distract from Harry's lack of movement!

Agree, but what is more annoying is when he is allowed to dance he dances very well (bar the hands).

Lack of movement? What?

Who was it that did the Quickstep last week with Aliona then

OK then, lack of good dancing movement

And that QS was ridiculously overmarked - but have no fear, clearly he is the judges and the publics favourite. He will win

I beg to differ and I am not a Harry suppporter. It was, by a country mile, the best dance I have seen of the series so far.

Differing is what it is all about

It was not, in my opinion, the best dance of the series, but then I admit to not liking Aliona's flashy school of dancing.

Everyone seems be "just wild about Harry" - anyone remember that?

I haven't really been watching Strictly much but I can only assume that the Harry you are seeing on this programme is the shy retiring one that is most definitely not the outgoing and extremely fun/funny character that is in McFly.

Maybe he's just more comfortable around his bandmates and is more reserved and polite in other celeb company.

He comes across as tremendous fun in his band.
