Well that was fun, wasn't it? Firstly, well done to Johannes, Gorka and Giovanni for having the courage to drag up for the Priscilla sequence. Johannes seemed to be enjoying it, didn't he? Priscilla is such a great film, isn't it? For reasons other than the obvious, it captures some great shots and images on Australia. I love Priscilla, the film and the musical. The stage show tour was actually the last one I saw before lockdown one (which feels about 12 years ago!). Great opening number by the pros. |

Quick question. Why is Bruno not there this year? He’s filming Dancing With the Stars in America and can’t fly back and forth like he usually would due to the current world situation! |

Climb Every Mountain... really doesn't suit her voice.
Not sure she ever attempt that sort of repertoire.
Very painful at the start

Marisha should've done Tomorrow, it's a much better fit for her voice. She nailed the big bits, it was just the beginning that struggled. And I love seeing &Juliet as well, I suppose it's a difficult show to represent in 1 song (or mashup). Jordan sounded incredible though.

Would have liked to hear Cassidy and Oliver sing too... |

Knew he was in the states but didn't realise he was currently filming. Double bubble salary then. Dancing with the Stars finished 2 weeks ago and Bruno should have returned for the final couple of shows. But they decided not to risk it under the current restrictions. |

I prefer the Mother Superior. In the movie version. Lesley Garrett used to do an amazing version when it was at The Palladium with Connie Fisher. |

Watching 42nd Street this afternoon, then watching Strictly Musicals week was a bad choice! The one on Youtube with Bonnie Langford? It was amazing! I'd love to see it in real life, I love tap. |

Jamie doing Salsa
Energetic. But quite scrappy and lacking precision. He has come a long way
But I can't see him surviving into the final

Ranvir doing a waltz. Another dance in close hold. Pretty frock
Another dance with Gio doing all the work. He is a genius but he can't make her into a performer who can embody a dance.
It was well enough danced but no passion, no joy, no engagement.
I just don't see a dancer. I see Gio and someone going through the motions

Bill doing Charleston...
He should have nailed this but his technique was sorely lacking. Footwork was sloppy. Timing was patchy.
Lacking in content and lacking in quality
The judges were clearly told to not point out the obvious faults. Frustrating

Maisie doing Couples Choice
Surprised that they were allowed to do a CC at this point when it should be one ballroom and one latin
That wasn't to my taste. It felt awkward and rather clumpy at times.
Forced and probably the weakest CC of the season

HRVY doing the Rumba
The toughest dance for the celeb males
Beautiful presentation
Musicality was great.
He did a good job just not a great one

Round 2
Jamie doing the QS
Fun. Entertaining. Some good footwork.
I enjoyed it

If it had been a couples choice or show dance I'd have loved that. But it's pushing it to call it a quickstep.
(Lovely CGI in HRVY's rumba.)

Ranvir doing a jive.. or not...
Gio's chest was almost enough distraction but she was very weak in that.
Retraction was poor
The kicks and flicks were weak
It was embarrassing. She doesn't cope put of hold or at speed.

Bill doing Tango
There was a very awkward pause where they just stopped dancing
And then they nearly collided with a camera
It was not well danced and there were errors

Maisie doing the VW
I hated the guitar. Had no place in the dance
I saw a couple of footwork glitches
And the choreo was not as fluid as it should have been

And wrapping up HRVY doing his Charleston...
Bad music. Great performance
Fully committed. A very modern interpretation of the dance.
He is the dancer of the season by miles.
