Well, having criticised many aspects of SCD this season, I felt it only right and proper that I commented on how stupendous the Grand Final was and beat the DWTS Finale hands down this season.
I would urge any American posters to check out the youtube clips, or get a download if you can, as all 10 dances were superb! Both couples performed 5 different dances, one as a foursome on the floor, a beautiful Viennese Waltz, each doing highlights in turn, which was glorious as you could directly compare the celeb man leading the female pro up against the male pro leading the female celeb, and he didn't come up short at all! ![]() The 2 Ballrooms, 2 Latins, a Judge's Choice (the Quickstep on that was fantastic with a bit of Tap thrown in!) ![]() And you will not be disappointed with the 2 Showdances which were stunning! Proper Ballroom rhythm dancing aswell as tricks and lifts! ![]() Would love to hear what you guys think of it, in comparison, and I think on this occasion, DWTS could pick up a few tips from SCD. ![]() I loved the whole thing! The only sad note for me was that Mel B and Emma didn't do a twirl round the dance floor when the Spice Girls did their bit. |

I agree La Rhumba, I thought our Finale was better than DWTS. I was disappointed in Mel & Maks Showdance and thought they could have done a lot better. Loved Alesha's outfit for her showdance - it reminded me of Mel's Paso outfit a bit. I thought both Matthew and Flavia as the professionals came up with some brilliant choreography and their respective celebs performed it to their utmost.

I was surprised we didn't see Mel B and Emma have a twirl too! Especially as Darren Bennett was performing to their song, and it would've been nice for Bruce to mention that Mel B had done so well in DWTS, for the majority of viewers who aren't obsessive internet forumites like us!
![]() Was nice to see Mel B was the first to applaud the pro dancers at the end of their song though. ![]() I must say, I think the style of Judge's Choice we've had for the past 2 seasons on SCD have worked wonderfully well. ![]() I thought last year it would be a filler, as there was only a 2 person Final, but it was a highlight. Likewise this year again, it was fabulous. My fears for a 2 person Final were unfounded. When the pros and celebs can come up with such quality dancing and choreography over 5 Dances on one evening you have to bow in appreciation and admiration. ![]() IMO, the Ballroom to start off, building to the Latin, the Judge's Choice comparison, the group VW, climaxing with the Showdance was a perfect format. ![]() I still feel that DWTS 5 suffered from the format for the Finale, and ofcourse there's no legislation against producing a poor Freestyle. Though in the case of 2 headstrong people like Marie and Mel, perhaps their pros listened to them too much re the choreography and music and theme.Julianne obviously told Helio what they were going to do, and she knew best! ![]() The Pros are the experts, and we should leave it in their hands, DWTS celebs please take note for next season. |

It would be nice to see what the DWTS pros think of the SCD freestyles.

Aw. ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5G7h1Tl_l0 I like this interviewer Jimmy Kimmel, have seen a few clips with him, also the chat with Floyd Mayweather, and he's another great host. Very funny too. ![]() This was broadcast the first week of the last series, and Jimmy's predictions are uncanny!! |
