Will we remember Jay's showdance as another puppetgate? |

For me it was excellent. All technicality and zero showing off. Aliona played it right. The judges are playing a game tonight. I can accept 40 for KKs first dance but not the show dance.

That was the worst bit of it for me. I must be a bit of a dance philistine because I didn't understand it all all

i don't think there is a 'right' or 'wrong' about it - despite what some people try to tell you!. I wouldn't have wanted him to continue doing acrobatics or anything, but that was the only 'new' thing in the dance and in that sense you are right, because it had nothing to do with the rest of it. i want a showdance to show me something different and unexpected
Though we now know he can hang upside down and spin. So that's new

Real let down all night for Jay. This is exactly why he needed to play his jive as the ace now. Is the paso going to do that?
Still think he's won. As I said elsewhere, they weren't very together either. Jay is capable of wow moments, we've seen them, but this wasn't it. A trip down memory lane, which included no jive steps, his best dance! |

Jay's dance was how show dances of years ago actually used to be. Showcasing how the celeb had mastered various technique and improved. Aliona did that and when you watch it back it's faultless. Preferred it to K & K's manic efforts. And their Tango was awful - she was even smiling through it. Blatant over promoting of K & K - disgraceful.

Agree, I thought it would be by the song when I first heard it, it doesn't go anywhere. But I didn't think it would be quite like that. Nothing happened and it just wasn't good.

I agree with Craig's comment - 'it was a cop-out'.
Very underwhelming - puppet-gate did spring to mind. They may have blown it - with that dull show-dance which wasn't a show-dance plus their inexplicable and perverse decision not to do their Jive. Their decisions have a touch of arrogance which could well be their downfall. Cop out, leave it all out there on the floor like Kellie just did! |

I didn't dislike it at all. It was just a bit flat. Apart from the odd beginning bit.

It was beautifully danced but, he is capable of so much more. I was expecting a Natalie and Artem type showdance. Dazzling, spectacular and full of razzamatazz and I think that was also the expectation of the judges.
I don't think it will cost him like puppetgate but, all those Anita voters probably haven't transferred their votes to his routines so far tonight. |

They used the very end section of his jive with the hair smoothing, but yes, no steps

I think it will be his 'puppet' dance if he loses.
I don't remember much about the dance at all other than I was left feeling incredibly deflated and disappointed at the end. When I heard the music earlier this week, I thought it was dreadful but I was hoping that Aliona would choreograph something good that would suit Jay's laidback style but could still wow. |

I had wondered if production put that in yesterday after seeing it with nothing in it to impact on it. Throw in a bit of ariel work at least, that's something.

The whole final from them has been a cop out. That show dance and then no jive, for various reasons, none of which make sense.
Cop out, leave it all out there on the floor like Kellie just did! |

Tom Chambers did the best showdance ever and won. Then Natalie Gumede topped it with the best showdance ever ever and didn't win. Ihad cast my 3 votes after the first set of dances so the showdance didn't have any effect.

To me it felt like he was throwing some disconnected moves "in da club".
Flat, lacklustre. Where was the "show" in that? Given Aliona's previous efforts, she has 3 out of 3 for horrid showdances. |

The very last bit before the 'drop' ending was from the jive

As I posted on another thread I found Lens attitude to Jay quite strange tonight. No I'm the things he said so much , more to do with his whole demeanor.
Left me on a bit of a downer,not just for Jay but for Katie too. |

Agreed Arcana - it's too forgettable to be another puppet gate, or bacofoil!

Jay has cruised through on a wave of support from menopausal women wanting to mother him, and those blinded by his looks. If he doesnt win, I will eat my hat. 10 times over.
