Wish they had left the teapot and chandelier on the dance floor to keep them company

The choice of shots was dreadful, we don't get to see Anton dancing properly that often and I would have like to see the whole lift.

It's also quite rare for us to see Joanne dancing ballroom although she's a world champion.

But I far prefer a proper dance to the contemporary stuff we often get when the guest star is singing.

Kenny Everett on his show did that with simulated police car sirens.

Team Joanton were delightful.

My favourite rendition is by Eva Cassidy.

and now,for balance:

The Lion King irritates the hell out of me and the songs are uninspired and forgettable.

Not for me sorry, I fast forwarded it. I don't mind Josh Groban, he wouldn't be my first choice to listen to though, but I cannot stand that song not even when the divine Ms Garland sings it.

I do agree. Mixture of Josh Groban and that song. I muted the tv.

I'm completely anti Anton, not just because bes the worst dancer but because he has been very very rude. He makes me sick

Anton is dreadful and should be dropped

Yep, there's absolutely no excuse - it wasn't live television, they surely could have corrected this incompetence.

Agree. Who said Anton couldn't dance, haha. Those of you who think this just need to see his fab tap dancing or Tango,Paso or any Latin with pro partner Erin. In their show they also sing at same time

It was gorgeous, but the camerawork was appalling!

Lovely to see Jo Clifton dancing though, hope she gets a celeb (and a talented one at that!) next year

To be fair, it isn't so much the camera operator as the guy in charge in the production room who indicates when and where to switch views.

Glad it's not just me then. I like Josh Groben, but truly hate that song, no matter who sings it.

I loved it, but silly question...

...what was it?

I couldn't really tell if it was a Waltz, or a Foxtrot, or a Quickstep, or a mix; it was like a Waltz on 48-Hour Energy (meant as a compliment!).

Agree, but Shane Ward did a fabulous rendition when he won XFactor - that end note sends shivers down my spine.
