“All my ladies you can do it. You can do it even better in broken heels” LOVE ALEXANDRA!!!!

[@amandalilley3780]

Ishan Ali if i done it it would end in broken ankles...Alexandra is amazing on the other hand..

[@tobyclarke4538]

Omg I see you on ibz all the time

[@tobyclarke4538]

Bring them your seasoning

[@readkristina11]

Usual Alonso

[@nugal9320]

It's impossible for me to watch this and not have the biggest smile on my face ❤️✨

[@jkg2088]

Alexandra just oozes confidence, has great rhythm. Such an amazing dance!! 💃🏿

[@newliver2009]

In less than one week, Alexandra, ended up putting on a phenomenal demonstration of how a jive should look. Absolutely stunning! You could send the rest of the celebs home and just hand the Glitterball Trophy to her after THAT performance.

[@djayejournay1882]

She killed that! Loved it!

[@ambrosiaaa9064]

Bless her soul I felt so sorry for her when she mentioned her mum AMAZING DANCE FLAWLESS 10

[@Andrew-xx8fe]

WOW! im so proud of her!! i picked her as my winner from the start and she could definitely be on the track to lifting the trophy! i was so nervous watching her lol and im just speechless!! I also love how Shirley said "it's never too early" while giving her a 10 after darcey saying to jay "as it's week 3 it's a 9"

[@dray20951]

Andrew ik yas Alexandera!!! :-)

[@Emmareads15]

I called her as winner when she was announced, this I think is her winning moment, like Jay, he won after his week 3 jive, I don't think anyone else will win after this week. The competition is over, Alex has won SCD 2017!

[@charmaineappiah4070]

Andrew me too

[@dajtoad1]

I wouldn't say so at all. Alex might be the best performer, but there are still other good dancers who might pull out an equally great routine. And in Strictly, a lot can also be swayed by likeability. Jay had a hardcore of fans who not only liked his dancing, but also liked his personality, whereas I'm not sure if Alex has the same kind of support. (I am NOT saying that Jay is nicer than Alex - I really don't know either of them - just that he definitely did charm a lot of people). I would definitely say she is one of the front runners, and I would be glad for her to win, but she's not the only one in it.

[@Andrew-xx8fe]

dajtoad1 I didn't say she was the only one, I said she COULD definitely be on track to lifting the trophy

[@user-iq4hl7bl7b]

Honestly when I seen her on tv I couldn't believe my eyes!! I thought it was a pro in disguise!

[@amandalilley3780]

Slime hugs I remember watching her on xfactor and she had remained in the shaddows until she sang and danced to a really up tempo beat, and she nailed it..i then said this girl is going to win this....

[@love4musicuk]

Great performance from Alexandra. I wish she’d return to music . I miss her amazing voice and music.

[@Chris-tj8kz]

She still makes music, but she's been in the West End for much of the last few years, on stage.

[@love4musicuk]

Shirrana I know, but it seems like she made one album and then got bored.

[@Chris-tj8kz]

Maybe she found a hidden passion for musical theatre she didn't know she had? I've seen her on stage and she's bloody brilliant! =)

[@tempusfugit4352]

Alex has put her latest album on hold to do SCD.

[@Tan87ful]

Chris agreed :))

[@raemundvp1153]

The whole performance was stunningly incredible! And she look the part as Tina Turner! Bravo! Alexandra to win!

[@gmarina789]

I showed this to my grandma (an ex professional dancer) and she thought it was a professional show dance. When I told her that there was a celebrity dancing, she said there was no way, and that I was bullshitting her! Great job Alex and Gorka!

[@yeahiagree1070]

Well she's had extensive training before. It's no surprise.

[@sashaa_stevenss]

J J not ballroom and Latin training she hasn't.. disco is very different.

[@tinaturneronlineblog]

Fantastic performance! Well done Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez!

[@shamailah1]

Wowwww she smashed itttt !! She looks like a professional dancer.

[@bethanyjoyxo]

Incredible!!!! No doubt that she'll lift that trophy! 🔥🔥🔥

[@maddog167]

I’ll never tire of watching this amazing performance.

[@AnneMcCrossan]

Best dance of the season so far! Great to watch.

[@danielshumkin8842]

Extraordinary energy... it could have lit the whole UK perhaps. Fantastic, very,very intricate choreography, she never stopped moving. She was fierce, she exploded out there. The song was great and she obviously looked like Tuner. Her performance value was out of the world. Technically, he kicks could have been a little bit bouncier, but she did an amazing job. A 9.

[@BDTTK9]

I wasn’t ready for this, she honestly blew me away. I don’t even like this song but she made me enjoy it!

[@andrew4patrick]

This was clearly the highlight of last night's show, throughly deserved the first 10's of the series!

[@ScottSingerCruises]

That was fabulous!!

[@eggsalad5452]

🖕

[@Chris-tj8kz]

Surely you mean "Fab-U-LOUS"? =P

[@manuelpolanco6109]

Whoever nails the jive usually goes on to win/deserves to win. Outstanding routine!

[@michawill6599]

Wonderful, so happy for her. Then so moved when she cried wishing her mum was there. Alexandra 2017!x

[@RM-rc1tf]

THIS YEAR'S WINNER! So much speed and accuracy and style. 10!!!

[@emilybygrave]

R M I doubt she is better than pros

[@RM-rc1tf]

Karen Clifton for sure.

[@blahdlah1920]

She's excellent but the actual jive in this was nowhere near perfect.

[@tayediggss]

Pros? Don't think so. She does have the performance factor down. Love her

[@bend4354]

R M boxing Mohamed Ali joe frazier

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Best Jive ever, I thought those kicks and flicks were excellent and that whiplash was amazing, the energy came from nowhere, she might be the winner, that was outstanding, I said at home she was gonna be another Jay at the Jive and I was right (in my opinion) beautiful dance, felt for her but your mum is proud of you in heaven, 10

[@Kerros973]

What can you do better? Nothing! Just perfect 👏👏👏

[@julkaxDxD]

My godness, she was on fire!

[@uploadedbyrobyn]

This was probably the best dance I have ever seen on Strictly!

[@louiseodonoghue7816]

I am so proud of her and gorka they can win the whole series now

[@danniie6968]

Alex girl you absolutely killed this performance. Well done you! Gorka what can I say choreography was on point as usual. Power house couple. One of my favourite couples to win Routing for you both. Keep it up guys.😍😍😙😗😙👌👌👌👌👌

[@jasoonn15]

It's Gorka not Giovanni lol And agree with everything you said

[@danniie6968]

Cristian Moreno My bad lool

[@malaikamorena3721]

Outstanding!!! #TeamAlorka for the win :)))

[@thatrubikscubeguy5213]

Best dance so far by a mile, no slips. She's joined the group of great jives up with Scott, Jill, Austin, Jay and Ore. 10.

[@lloydjohnlyons]

Alexandra Burke fantastic work you did brilliant

[@julieolsen1556]

Lloyd john Lyons

[@kateking8820]

This was epic!

[@tangfastiiic]

there are just no words .... AMAZING

[@daisy9275]

The footwork is incredible

[@amandalilley3780]

Alexandra's mother would be so so proud of her...she looks amazing up there....

[@Angel-cb6zs]

she's the ONE to beat! this performance was out of this world. and I wanna silence those who moan that she's had dance experience, she isn't a professional at ballroom. she's a singer and theatre star that doesn't equate to a ballroom experience, so shut your traps.

[@paulcharles5128]

shan angel Well said!! #GoTeamAlorka

[@Thomassteven00]

AMAZING PERFECTION Shemay be the next Alesha. Alexandra just showed she's best dancer in the competition 10/10 (wish i could give an 11)

[@jake27990]

She can sing, she can dance, she's pretty, and she's unproblematic. Absolute travesty that she's not selling out stadiums all over the world

[@Tan87ful]

Agreed 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽

[@lighty33]

She has talent wow Alexandra Burke

[@dustincorey8409]

InstaBlaster.

[@Esi153]

Wow!!! I absolutely love them!

[@carriemelbourne6507]

First Class. A real treat to watch, thank you xx

[@ruthcraft1510]

Wow! So much energy. Alexandra's transforms when she is performing into a strong, sassy diva! Was so moved by her reaction afterwards. I really felt for her then. Your mum would have been so proud.

[@strictlyfan946]

AMAZING SHOULDVE GOT A FORTY!

[@Jake-oc5xz]

They got 39

[@polljones8921]

@Katie ALDC!!! . . . Umm, a 39 would be, well 39. 39 is 39. Not 40. 40 is 40. That wasn't so hard really, was it?

[@eclectica1]

Come on now, there's more chance of a Tyrannosaurus Rex walking on the moon right now than there is of CRH scoring any routine a ten in Week 4.

[@eclectica1]

Katie ALDC!!! I think you need to learn some basic maths dear.

[@sashaa_stevenss]

Strictly Fan ikr but Craig will never give tens that early unfortunately xx

[@hollyjennings5308]

Best dance of the series so far

[@animalames78]

That was bloody amazing!!! 👌👍👏

[@okaykatieokay]

This is bloody incredible!

[@SarahMMWest]

Just. Just INCREDIBLE. #teamalorka FTW!!!

[@kitanimboy]

Amazing!!! Love that she's killing it..

[@Jake-oc5xz]

Fantastic

[@Lukucha]

*Oh my goodness! What a jive!! 😲 I've only watched Strictly Come Dancing since last year, but I've heard all about the amazing Strictly stars Alexandra Burke, Aston Merrygold, Judge Rinder, Joe McFadden and Ore Oduba all dancing their little hearts out in this spectacular show! 😁 Heard that Aston had a "shock elimination" early on in Strictly 2017, but did Alex and Gorka win? If not, that's fine. This is still 1 of the best jives I've ever seen, EVER!! This is DEFINITELY an 11 from me! 😃 Very well done Alex and Gorka!! 💖💖✌*

[@KarisGorst]

what an amazing jive! definitely as good as Jill, Jay's and ore's - I thought in week 2 we might have a winner in Alexandra and I think this might prove it!

[@PinkPeachVODS]

Okay, so Kevin is my favourite pro, but Gorka is a very very close second! We didn't get to see his choreography much last year but this year he is on fire! I've always liked Alexandra and I am so happy that she knocked it out of the park!!

[@peter.bridge5897]

She won the competition with that she can dance and got the looks. Tina Turner would be proud

[@jacintaperdue1720]

Wow if I could dance like Alexandra fabulous

[@barbayyu]

This is a great performance from Alexandra.

[@froggybinou]

That was amazing!! Perfect timing, excellent routine, choice of song brilliant - couldn't have been better!

[@madmandonna1]

This was phenomenal, her personality might not be for everyone but my my god she can bring the house down with her performances. Starting to warm to her bit this week.

[@newliver2009]

Excuse my obvious ignorance, but what's wrong with Alexandra's personality? Unless you are trying to cloud my judgement of her by trolling something I don't know about, that you are desperate to influence me and others with, otherwise...why say it?

[@caroll5072]

"Her personality might not be for everyone" that's an odd comment! Since we are not all clones, then nobody's personality is for everyone so what exactly do you mean??? However on this show personality helps to create character and she is blessed to have that in abundance. I love watching her commit to each character every week and she would make for an exciting final. She has my vote

[@2243MusicLover]

Malcolm King I think Laura was referring to a lot of people complaining about how emotional she gets, and many think she’s fake and putting on an act. That kind of thing. (I don’t think that by the way, she’s my favourite)

[@Chantel-yz6bz]

Her mum passed away recently

[@2243MusicLover]

Chantel 5678 I don’t know if that was replied to me or not, but I was aware of that. I think her emotions are completely understandable, but others don’t agree which is just cruel

[@GaryKidd-u4m]

This still takes.my breath away

[@lauraakalozzacooper3458]

Probably the best dance ever on Strictly! Can’t keep your eyes off of her!

[@DNLA_SC]

Whoo who!!, That was fabulous!, I think I’m in love with this couple 👍 awesome job Alexander and Gorka

[@mikeykm1993]

She looks great with the wild hair too!

[@caslusfilho]

Loved it

[@DianeBanks1]

Holy crap, she SLAYED that dance!! She looked like Gorka's pro dance partner instead of the Celeb. Favorite dance of the night ;)

[@Mia-sb1bb]

Amazing 😍 Gorka was a really underrated Professional. Alexandra is an amazing dancer

[@SusanPalmer-c9v]

What can I say it was absolutely stunning best jive ever - she should have won the contest.

[@anitadatta2229]

Definitely Alexandra is my favourite - she dances like a professional

[@rosemarylewis780]

So good to see Gio back in action ❤ and on the way to the Italian glitter ball by the look of it! Miss you! love you, Gio ❤

[@sharon82075]

What a duo in dancing....super amazing....

[@BB_arbie]

Amazing, just loved it - you go girl

[@Gervoyage]

[@annabananacarrington2173]

[@ExquisiteKinkyCoils]

I couldn't agree with you more regarding the choreography between DWTS and SCD. Well stated.

[@Tan87ful]

Agreed

[@tracey-annwisdom2874]

[@bannc5514]

Wow! Enough said.

[@captpicard6894]

Best female Jive ever. Better than the previous Gold Standard female jive of Jill Halfpenny with Darren Bennett.

[@pollycat4239]

I still prefer Jill and Darrens - just personal taste

[@scarletrodger185]

I prefer Jill and Darren’s personally, but Alexandra did justice to The Jive.

[@roisinsteed5241]
