I don't totally disagree but..... I couldn't care less if Danny went out in the semi final as he isn't who I want to win but without doubt he is the best dancer left. I am absolutely astounded that anyone would not put him first.
I am not an expert but know what I see and listen to what the judges say so I stand by my comment that some people are being less than honest. I won't post again as I think it is important NOT to derail this thread, yes we may have a different opinion as to who we want to win but seriously! ![]() This I totally agree ![]() There is more being the best dancer technically... I just find him cold and doesn't move me emotionally. |

Ore can sell a dance very well and enjoy him. Sometimes his technique seems very good, at others not so much. |

I know zip about technique other than what the show has taught me (which is ... not that much).
On technical ability (which I'm reading as the ability to deliver the correct dance steps with musicality, I'd go with Danny - who seems to me to have both these qualities and often sells his dances as well. Louise - who seems to me to have both qualities but does not come through the screen to me as a performer. Ore - who has musicality and extremely patchy steps (when he gets it, he really gets it and when he doesn't, it's ... not nice. This tends to tie in strongly with how well he sells the dance). Claudia - who often delivers extremely high on technicality, but like Ore is patchy and can look very clunky. She is definitely developing as a performer and outstrips Louise in that department. |

See, I would disagree there. Danny is a fabulous all around dancer, he is a showman and puts a great dance in, better as an all around experience but his technique isn't always great. Louise is very much more a technician without the performance though.
Claudia is great at gymnastics, okay on the floor but not so great. Ore can sell a dance very well and enjoy him. Sometimes his technique seems very good, at others not so much. Ore is hit or miss in his technique, but he is natural in his movements, so kudos to him. Similarly, Claudia CAN dance - not disputing she can't - but her technique leaves (for me) a lot to be desired. And again - just my 2 cents, as a dancer.

Pretty much agreed, Domestos! Louise reminds me somewhat of Ali Bastian - fabulous technicians, just somewhat lacking on the performance front. Danny has plenty of pizazz, and his MT training has provided him with some solid technique, but he often uses this to disguise ballroom/Latin technique deficiencies (see: his batucatas in the Samba). Still a great dancer!

It does, however, explain why often these two top the judges leaderboard.

A*) Danny for Artistry and Selling the routine and loving dancing
A) Louise for footwork and frame. Still not selling it & spotting the floor. B+) Claudia improving and loving dancing. B) Ore, plateaued but can sell the routine 1st to 4th does not really fit. |

1) Danny
2) Louise 3) Claudia/Ore But I think Danny is way out in front. I base that on who has had a bad week in the show from the start. Both Claudia and Ore have had a couple of poor weeks, and Louise has been distinctly average occasionally. Has Danny actually had a bad week ? |

But he is inconsistent. I like how both he and Claudia have developed. It's a bit of a shame that they really can't compete with the technical ability and practised showmanship of the other two. But it is what it is. Louise is the best technician, for me, and Danny has solid enough tech, as you say, but a lot of pizzaz. |

Without any doubt,
(1) Danny (2) Louise (3) Ore - Claudia (they both had their share of hits and misses; Ore is mentioned first because he and Joanne look better than Claudia and AJ on the dance floor; Claudia progresses fast but she and AJ don't look good together, especially in hold) |

Realistically: Danny, Louise, Claudia, Ore but..........
Claudia, off to a poor start but seems to be catching up. If they hobble AJs legs in the quickstep so his stride is reduced to match hers they may stand a chance. If I focus on the actual celebrity then I prefer Ore to Danny but if I focus the professional they dance with then I prefer Oti to Joanne. For me Oti totally eclipses Danny I find Louise's dances confusing because to me a non dancer, she seems to do very little of the required dance and a heck of a lot of show dance. To use a Len expression, a lot of faffing about. |

As things stand at the moment, I think it is a toss up between Danny and Louise, but that could change in the semi-final. I feel that Claudia is coming up on the rails. She has stepped up a gear since being in the dance-off. Her 10 last week was overdue. Ore, I suspect, has now reached his limit, and I would not be surprised to see him go this weekend. I could, of course, be completely wrong on that.
I don't buy all the conspiracy theories. Neither the producers nor the judges have a vested interest in who wins. All four of them will find their respective profiles raised, which should do their careers no harm. Summoning what little wit I possess, I would place them as follows: Danny Louise Claudia Ore But I wouldn't shriek 'Fix!' if it doesn't turn out that way. |

1) Louise
2) Danny 3) Ore/Claudia I prefer Ore as I think he characterizes the dances better and I think he and Joanne are a better partnership than Cladia and AJ. Surprised to see so many ranking Louise last. |
