But why the necessity to compare Rachel to Louisa? After all if one compared Louisa's jive to Jill's the former would surely come off second best.

Rachel's jive seemed to consist of a load of old S club 7 video choreography & moves. All very good IF it's going to be edited for a video.
It just didn't excite me, and her bum looked big ![]() luckliy my arse is the size of a small planet so there wouldn't be an issue of it looking big, it is big anyway Rachel's problem as has bene said many times, is that she doesn't project any real personality or "oooomph". Some people have that x factor like alesha and some people don't - and I don't think Rachel has it. Shame really because she's a beautiful girl with an amzing figure and she can dance |

I dunno though if Vincent simplfied the choreography to make it a bit easier for Rachel she might be able to let go a bit more and enjoy it without thinking... oh i go through his legs here and then him through mine etc.
Dunno if that would make any difference though as she just lacks that something |

And better legs I think what Rachel needs to do is wear less clothes in her dances |

I don't think that Rachel had the correct bounce action, and her kicks and flicks were from the wrong place. Also, I think that Vincent let her down in the choreography, as there were a few too many tricks which in Craig's words madeit look a bit 'lumpy'.

Louisa was bouncy and very outgoing, neither of which Rachel really is. Vincent choreographed both jives to reflect that. Louisa's was much more traditional whereas Rachel's seemed to have a lot of rock & roll type choreography.

Louisa always reminded me of Tigger
The most wonderful thing about Tiggers, is Tiggers are wonderful things. Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs. They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is, I'm the only one. Oh, III'm the only one! Oh, the wonderful thing about Tiggers is, Tiggers are wonderful chaps. They're loaded with vim and vigor. They love to leap in your lap. They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy, Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is ... III'm the only one! Just thought I would add that.

In fact, I think her Paso was chosen as one of the pro's favourite dances on ITT that year. That pro also accused the judges of undermarking Louisa (which I agree with given Emma gave us that diabolical Paso which received 10s). |

Rachel will attract bitchy comments about her appearance whatever she wears or however good she looks. That's just a fact of life for young, attractive females on RTV shows.

I partly agree, but she was still better than Emma Bunton.

Why not compare them?: confused: both young'ish same partner, similar sizes.
No two people are the same - and it's bad enough that Rachel is having to overcome Len's perceived disappointment, without feeling she has to emulate Louisa as well. I loved Louisa, but not everything she did was good. |

I thought Louisa's jive was much better. The dance was much more entertaining to watch that Rachel's. I thought Louisa was an excellent dancer and oozed personality and fun. Rachel's jive lacked something for me. It didn't make me want to get up and dance (as if i could!). I think that Vincent over complicates his routines. I know he did that with Louisa and at times it looked as if she was struggling to keep up. I think he may be doing the same with Rachel.
People have mentioned that the forums have become overly critical this year. I for one must admit I have criticised a few of the celebs. Is it because the standard of dance just isn't very good this year or are our expectations too high? |

Well while we're on the subject of Louisa's Jive - I didn't think it was as good as Jill Halfpenny's.
