Wow, Danny and Oti's showdance was incredible really loved it. I can see why Ori won, because SCD was always supposed to be about someone learning to dance who previously couldn't, but it can't be denied that Danny has given us some fantastic performances this season.

It was a good show dance, but Ore's was better. And I voted for Danny

Tom & Camilla still the best showdance ever though.

I really liked their show dance, but don't think it the best ever as for me Ore was better.

I agree though Danny and Oti gave some great performances and I loved their QS the first time and ws glad to see them doing it again last night, but itwas a shame it went wrong on my favourite bit.

Ore and Jo have given great performances too, the final and semi finals especially.

Sadly, Louisd never gave enough of herself to really produce something like that.

I loved it too. They didn't play it safe so it was brilliant to watch. The music and choreography really matched.

It was great.

Caroline's will always be my top showdance, i just loved the simple elegance of it. But I really thought Dannys was superb....loved the drama and technique and how it was different from his other two lastnite

I liked it, but liked Ore's more.

Doti's showdance was a touch too dramatic and torrid. It was theatrical at the expense of finesse and didn't show what a terrific dancer he is (as well as it might have done, anyway ).

Still the best dancer over the course of the series though .

I haven't loved a showdance since Tom and Camilla's but out of the 3 I preferred Danny and Oti's

A agree, of the threee on the night Danny and Oti's was the best for me. I still hold Tom Chambers up as THE best showdance ever, but Danny's had the same flare and flavour as that in that it was full of dance, full of passion and full of amazing choreography.

For me at least Louise's was nice and would have made a perfect series dance, but it didn't have enough wow factor for the final and Ore's was 50% dance and 50% jumping around on a huge drum set and reminded me of kids on a jumpy castle or trampoline set, lol. There's no getting away from the fact Ore is a great dancer, equally on par with Danny for a majority of the series, but that showdance of his just didn't do it for me at all, I was more confused by it than enjoying it.

It was a good dance, but for me it was too brash. Ore and Joanne's routine showcased Ore's growth as a performer, personality and was also entertaining.

Plus it was too close in style to that brilliant Samba.

I thought it was dramatic. But thrashy, occasionally ugly, uncontrolled and over the top.

It was absolutely brilliant but for me, wasn't the best one ever.

For me, Caroline and Natalie's were the best.

For Show Dances
Tom & Camilla 1st
Natalie & Artem and Danny & Oti a very close second.

I think the show dance lost it for them, more so than the QS. So that means it can't be the best ever.

While I hate to say me too, on the above comments about Ore, Tom and Camilla, me too.

I'm more casual a fan then most but Tom and Camilla's showdance engraved itself on my brain. Don't think I even watched that series, just the final.

^^This, I didn't really enjoy it, it was all too aggressive.
Not sure why Oti choreographed it like that. I found the AS in the semi far more appealing as it was toned down and melodical, I think she tries too hard and packs it with too much content making everything seem rushed and messy.

Tom and Camilla still the best show dance ever and Ore and Joanne's comes close i think.

Thank you!!

I've just watched it again to remind myself and prove to myself that I'm not looking through rose tinted specs. It was just full of high quality choreography and fun, for me, a winning combination. I'm not a lover of contemplative, slow show dances, but that's me!! Other opinions are available!!

IMO Danny lost the final because of the showdance & Ore won it with his

The casual voting viewer would be more likely to enjoy Ore's showdance over Oti's contemporary routine. Apparently there were around 35% of floating voters to seduce & Jo was clever enough to play to this audience.

This is why Ore won and Danny IMO came 2nd

I might have another look too but I think the fact that many still remember it and think its the best one, then it has to be good. It certainly clinched the title for him.

We don't know if Danny came 2nd he could have been last yesterday.

I don't think Danny lost yesterday because of his showdance if anything it was the QS that lost for it for them but even if he had performed that flawlessly like he did the first time I still think he would have come 2nd or 3rd

Even though I loved his QS the first time I wish the judges picked his Cha Cha, Rumba or VW.
