That was simply brilliant. A moment when everything comes together music, choreography, dancing and partnership. Perfect.
The quote above was taken from a thread hailing Danny & Oti's Samba last Saturday. I remember similar words being used to describe Jay & Aliona's Jive last year...so there's only one thing for it......POLL!!!!!

C'mon people, it simply HAS to be done in this case....so vote away on which YOU preferred!

For me it's Samba all the way. It's so different, Oti took a risk and it paid off.

For me even as a Danny fan, jay's dance all the way. Just purely for my original reaction to it. It's a classic

Easily Danny's Samba for me. One of the most memorable dances there's been.

Plus I actually preferred Jill's Jive to Jay's anyway

Difficult one.

IMO Jay could never have pulled off that Samba but Danny could have danced Jays jive. For that reason i've voted for Danny.

It has to be said though that the samba had nowhere near the same impact on me as the Jive did.

I think you're spot on.

I loved both dances but have to agree.

I don't understand the obsession with comparing dances that have nothing to do with each other. They were both amazing in their own way.

LOL!!! You know me too well edy!!! I had n amazingly busy weekend duee to my son's birthday and have not been on the boards until today!!!

Not so sure about your prediction - the way the Samba is being ralked up, this COULD just be the thread that Jay doesn't win by a country mile!!!

It is supposed to be!!!

Brilliant reasoning!

C'mon jiroos, you can't compare a jive with a samba.

These are the two most highly-rated dances in the history of Strictly so far, both eliciting very similar praise - that's what they have got to do with each other.

BIB We shall see
So we shall!!!

C'mon jiroos, you can't compare a jive with a samba.
Why not when I have already been told I can't compare Jay's JIVE with Ore's JIVE???

And, from the poll results, it would seem at least 25 FM's (including me) disagree with you...

That makes sense as you're comparing two dances of the same genre but jive and samba are as far apart as they can be. Other may be happy to compare but I just find it odd, sorry. It's like comparing a cow and an electric guitar.

Unfortunately Jay isn't within touching distance of Danny when it comes to performing a routine.

Come on, why did you have to torture me with that question?

I just went for Jay and Aliona but It was a flip of a coin.

Danny and Oti's Samba.

Everything complimented everything perfectly - the music, the performance, the outfits, the dancing and they both looked like they were loving every second.

Although, I do have to say Jay's Jive was amazing and is right up there with the best this show has produced.

In that case, never give up the day job to become a Strictly judge - you'd be a right killjoy at the end of every Results Show...

Care to disagree?

It's actually by the FM's here...thought you would know that with 11, 000 plus posts

Loved them both... lots but it's the samba for me...I'd rather not choose though as they are so different. I think the jived were compared this season ...did Jaliona do a samba though I can't remember?

Very different dancers, Danny's a good hoofer and Jay's incredible dancing has artistry and a cool vibe. Danny dances with his feet, and Jay with his soul.

Oh, no no no. Why must you do that to me??

Way too close to call, and also two totally different styles of dance, so it's too hard to pick.
