Hi,
I've got them on my hard-drive as well. It is probably easiest if Spree can upload them to dropbox, but if anyone wants them on DVD I can copy and send them.

Omg you guys you're so sweet!

Do you mean you could send the DVDs?

Yes. Through good old snail mail. I'm very low tech. Warning MP4 doesn't play like a normal DVD but through Windows.

ETA. Night all.

Mine are already uploaded so I can send a link to someone who might want.

So touching...

A quick late night visit from me, as I haven't had the chance to post so far today.....


Lovely picture. Aliona is positively blooming!



Gulp.

Mixed review about KD. I'm guessing they're disappointed that Jay and Aliona are in the show for a brief time, but... yeah.

I'm reading something about a Jaliona DVD? I want it! How can I get it? I'll pay the shipping and everything

It's Rachel's DVD from way back.

ETA: Wow - they just did two dances according to that review. Have to say, I would have found that very disappointing too, especially when one of them was not even one of their highly rated routines.

You wouldn't believe that after that video some folks on J's twitter are just asking for a follow. Do they never stop wanting from him for themselves??

Could you send me the link please. I lost the ones I downloaded when my computer got a virus. I would really appreciate it. Many thanks

PM me - I'll need an email addy to send you a link

I hope we see more of them on Friday but something is better than nothing isn’t it?

Sorry I haven’t been around. Too much going on and I’m getting too old to juggle things!

Hope you’re all keeping well. I’ll write a wee precise when I return from Edinburgh on Saturday.

PS The Juliana videos kept me sane over Christmas last year. I still watch a clip before bedtime.

Hello Celloplayer
Lovely to hear from you.
I hope you are fully recovered from your eye operation earlier this year.
Enjoy KD on Friday. Look forward to your wee review.
I will be there on Saturday. Are you meeting Speedy or Polly on Friday?

Great attitude! Many of us cannot get to any J shows. I know you'll enjoy yours.

I hope your health is good.

I thought we had already worked out that they were only doing two dances at KD because of Aliona's pregnancy?

I understand though the reviewer's disappointment that the publicity highlights Jay and Aliona but that that does not then translate across to the show. Even when they did four dances, some people at the previous shows were disappointed and went expecting exactly the same dances from Strictly. We have talked a lot about this before and I suspect, with the benefit of hindsight, Jay and Aliona might have approached KD differently.

For me, I am just grateful for any chance to see them dance one last time and I am really looking forward to hearing the Q and A session.

Yes indeed

😓

Morning - apologies for spelling but written in haste on the way to work - bit surprised at the angst over only 2 dances, we saw the show with Chelsea Healey and she only did 2 quite short dances, not sure how much Louis did? So 2 and a q&a is a bonus for us. There is an awful Edinburgh review online as well- not going to quote that! The reviewer didn't even like the singers....

Hi Agrion
Louis did 4 dances
Don't know about Lisa Riley.
I think the reviews for KD have been pretty positive overall. Surprised the reviewer did not like the singers.
I thought they were great.

ETA Just read the review. I can see where they are coming from to be honest. I think to call the rumba one of Jay and Aliona's least memorable dances is a bit odd though.

Shame that the reviewer in the Reviews Hub failed to take into account Aliona's pregnancy (perhaps didn't know about it) - there's no way I would expect her to be jiving, doing the Charleston, the salsa or the Paso under those circumstances.

Given that Jay was completely tied up with BIG until Sunday, and was at the other end of the country from Edinburgh, they wouldn't have had time to get four new dances together or, I think, to rehearse four new ones from Strictly (some from way back in the series), so it's not really surprising that they are only doing the two. Whilst this may well be a disappointment for people who have bought tickets specifically to see Jaliona, it really is a case of c'est la vie - baby needs to come first.

Yep, totally agree

Re the review for KD, I actually think if you put yourself in the average viewer’s shoes it’s pretty fair. If you liked J & A on Strictly, saw that they were apparently headlining in a dance show and booked tickets, wouldn’t you be a little disappointed if you then only saw 2 short dances which weren’t the ones you were expecting and a short, very short by the timings, Q&A session. Not everyone reads this thread or follows them avidly on twitter so wouldn’t know that it had been changed to 2 dances and a Q&A or even necessarily that Ali is pregnant. I’m not criticising anyone, it is what it is but just try to look at it through their eyes rather than a sooper fans eyes who are just pleased to see J & A dance together, however briefly. The review isn’t massively criticising them just surprise that more were not seen of them in the show which is a fair point if you have spent a lot of money to see them headline a show. If there is any fault it is in the advertising that has happened or not happened very well for the show.

Agree with this too.
As I have said before, I just don't think KD was very well thought through by whoever set it up.

Are the DVDs Rachael's Jalionas compileation DVDs, I wasn't on the thread at that time, and I would very much like a copy if possible please.

BIB - I totally agree.

Would also say that, yes, I can see it from other peoples' perspective and I don't know if anything is said at the show (e.g. in the Q&A) about the reasons for the changes in the number of, and type of, dances. If not, the start of the Q&A would be the perfect opportunity to make that clear.

Hi everyone, I hope that you are all well? Haven't posted on here for a while although I have been lurking.

Could you all possibly vote for Jay and Aliona's Salsa on this poll please? TTF and Susanna Reid's Paso currently in the lead so can't have that!😂
