Even I'm having second Thoughts.

Yes I thought it was great too and for me it was the best dance of the night.

Funnily enough, that AS and VW are the only two dances of Brendan's that I've really enjoyed as well.

I also liked his tango with Lisa, but the effect was slightly marred by the music choice. I know it's traditional tango music, but I'm not the only person who immediately thinks of Jack Lemmon in drag, shaking his maracas, every time I hear it.

The choreography has the 'wow' factor.

The kicks and flicks were fast and furious.

The entire partnership was a joy to watch.

But the best Christmas Special dance ever it is NOT.

My choice for best Christmas Special dance ever was Gethin and Camilla's lovely waltz last year which received 40 points from the judges.

I remember that dance fondly as Gethin had snowflakes on his tails!

My BEST Christmas Special dance routine is Colin and Erin's Quickstep. It was FANTASTIC.

Very straight legs from Kelly, which is why it was so good.

I have just watched this prog and thought this was the best dance for me.

Dont know how Len ranked it bottom (of the four)

because like me he thought the other three couples were better.
Kellys might have been "flashy" but there wasnt that many jive steps in there.

Watched it again fanastic!! She would have beaten all the dancers this year

Nope she wouldnt. Rachel was much more likeable and she didnt manage to win. No chance Kelly could beat tom or rachel. Its not all about the dancing as this year proved.

True unfortunately

After watching Jill and Darren's Jive from their previous Xmas special, Kelly and Brian's has too similar choreography...

It's each to their own with choreography I guess. I agree he can be over-dramatic and I can see why people don't like that, though while I wouldn't say he was the best of the pros at choreography, I wouldn't consider him as one of the worst either. I think that both the Rumba and the Tango he did with Kelly last year were amongst the best dances of the series.

Not the best but so enjoyable. I know the season 6 celebs didn't have much time to prepare an xmas routine on top of everything else, but it was nice to see stuff we hadn't seen before. She does have SO much personality and she gives so much of herself to the audience - I really appreciate that.

I think they were both pretty typical jives, there isn't anything special to distinguish between them when you working from the same jive steps.

It's not Jill and Darren's "I'm Still Standing" jive which has lots of what are now signature moves.

My favourite dance from any of the Christmas Specials is Jill and Darren's American Smooth and I prefered Jill and Darren's Jive to 'Rockin around the Christmas Tree' to Kelly and Brian's. I still thought it was good though just not the best ever.

I thought Kelly and Brians dance was fantastic!
I'm a big Alesha fan, but I think Kelly DEFiNITELY should have won that night!

I agree

no, don't worry that you are the only one to think that Brian's and Kelly's 'jive' was the best dance of the night in Christmas Special because I did as well, i thought Brian's choreography was absolutely brilliant and that you could see just how hard he'd worked to make it like that, well done Kelly for making it look fantastic for him. they did not let each other down at all which I know Brian would or could never do, he never puts a foot wrong, he's just fab-u-lous but the i'm baised as i am crazy about him anyway

I strongly disagree. I got as much passion from Rachel as the other girls, they just have different personalities. Last night showed nothing except for the fact that Rachel had the most subdued dance. I'd like to see Jill, Kelly or Alesha "light up the dance floor" with a rumba

Kelly and Brian were great on the Christmas Special but I also think Colin and Erin's quickstep was the best ever.

I do freely admit to being biased though as I thought he was the best dancer ever on Strictly and certainly a step ahead of any of the other male celebs. I am still inwardly seething at the fact that he no longer holds the record score for the quickstep. Nobody quicksteps like Colin.

No it wasn't. Alesha and Jill were easily better. Brian completley out danced Kelly.

....and so he should.....she`s the amerture and he`s the professional.

I dunno about best ever but it was pretty good and it would have had my vote to have won the Crimbo special - that said Jill was pretty amazing too so I don't degrudge her win.
