Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell Samba to Young Hearts Run Free by Candi Staton ✨ BBC Strictly 2023

[@alishastudios]

Coming back to this a year later, still iconic

[@danjon8799]

How this did not get a 10 baffles me. I was completely bowled over by this Samba as it was SO good. Those hips? Immaculate. Feet? Incredible. Character? Well all I will say is they really brought those characters to life. I can honestly say this was the highlight of the night for me. Fantastic. 10.

[@reganlouise3275]

Fr i was like this HAS to get at least one ten

[@heathery1]

But Shirley just threw a 10 for that MIB dance 😂 ridiculous!

[@danjon8799]

I know. The thing is I'm sure Eddie made mistakes so it baffles me that we have a dance where the comments were saying it was perfect and yet it does not get a 10 (personally for me if the dance has no negative criticisms then it should get a 10 immediately - unless it is noticeable that there were mistakes there)@@heathery1

[@juliecollett4289]

100% totally agree. Dance of the night and series. Bobby should win this year 🎉

[@suzanablank5809]

Bobbys body technique specially above waist was no where near good to get 9 or 10!!! He is very tall lanky and very young to tune in into latino tune. He may have hip sexy moves but it is obvious he has not with full body connected to the music. Also they did not look in connection in this dance. He seemed what he is..pupil following steps and routine having fun, but finesse and the rest is lacking. Diane was overly excited and all, in comparison to him so was disco jointed as result. To someone with basic understanding of the dancing and technique it would never get 9 nor 10.

[@Eurovisionary851]

Bobby looks as if he is having so much fun and that is what makes him a joy to watch.

[@bingandthechucks]

Is that red dwarf?

[@swindobotsjp3121]

I was smiling all the way through this. He had the samba bounce down to a tee, his hips were amazing and it brimmed with fun. He’s just so likeable. He’s like human sunshine.

[@gaysy1st]

Great description

[@timefortea1931]

He really is! He's got good moves, and is so full of youthful joy.

[@ravenclawrumba7096]

Undermarked, I could barely find anything wrong with it this was incredible and a unique take on the Samba 9/10

[@cathyharris9899]

Fantastic 10 full marks undermarked. By the panel

[@nicholasjames695]

He could close the gap between his feet a bit more, but I think he's too leggy. He'll just trip himself up.

[@joshjones5062]

Not a big fan of the couple but as you say way undermarked.

[@sophieboult310]

Not keen on his jumper

[@amandasmith8108]

​@@sophieboult310 It's a nod to Leo Di Caprio's costume in the film R&J 😊

[@gerardsloan1593]

Diane (much like the other professionals) always brings out the best in their students. Her enthusiasm, positivity and bubbly nature are always welcome. Bobby appears to be in a world of his own here. Good coaching? Confidence? These two should go far. Have a good day reader

[@megsunset]

This dance was incredible, loved every second! Bobby's hips and Dianne's choreography 🔥 Best dance of the night 💫

[@juliethompson5301]

I absolutely loved it ! Dance of the night ❤❤

[@yvonneholmes2990]

jade would have been soooo proud of him ...well done Jeff amazing Father and hello to Freddiexxxxxx

[@SiasCreations]

Bobby makes me smile so much, he was absolutely loving it and his energy was infectious! Loved this dance!

[@damanpreetsinghminhas19335]

I agree with you

[@bethanyjoyxo]

Undermarked!!! One of the best sambas by a male celeb!

[@Happydayzzz_]

Hands down the best performance of the night, he put everything into this performance! Deserved at least 9s

[@LovedByYou]

Even Bobby couldn’t contain himself at the end. Pure joy was their story. I love this team and I think Bobby will just keep getting better, but he makes an incredible ROMEO!!!

[@One_direction_1D]

Love Bobby's smile while the run down

[@EmR12345]

One thing I always appreciate about Dianne’s choreography is that she finds ways to put new and interesting moves in there. I feel like every week I’m seeing something I haven’t seen before:)

[@babyjane1363]

Whatever "it" is Bobby got it, he reminds me of a young John Travolta ❤this routine.

[@emilysmith1000]

Dianne's choreography is amazing 👏👏👏 Really fresh and lets Bobby shine! I just love this!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@ninoj3774]

I love it. They have "finalists" written all over them.

[@acelister16]

Winners

[@ninoj3774]

@@acelister16 Yeah. But the competition is very strong this year.

[@zahra9813]

@@ninoj3774 I'm curious being from the US, how accurate are the booker's predictions on who's going to win? They're all saying Nigel but I look at the responses from viewers. From what I see, people are in love with Bobby & Dianne. I really do hope they win. I was a little bummed when she & Joe didn't lift that Glitterball trophy. Thanks in advance. =)

[@ninoj3774]

@@zahra9813 I really don't know. In 2021, it was clear that Rose was going to win, and in 2022, it was clear that Hamza was going to win. This year, it looks like it's going to be Bobby. But he has strong competition (Ellie and Nigel). So I don't know. It's hard to predict.

[@veronicageorge3825]

​@@ninoj3774 I feel like Ellie is gonna win.

[@katmanbegins]

Can’t wait to see them do this again in the final!!!!!!!

[@bernicebest]

Gosh, what a beautiful couple, I’m a retired ex-ballroom Latin dancer, I wish I could have moved like Bobby & Dianna, The Dance of the series and it was under marked!! I think all of the competitors are remarkable, it took me half a lifetime to come anywhere near what they have achieved in a short time, I congratulate them all 👏👏

[@wondeecheeseice373]

Bobby did that samba outstandingly. The hip movements were impeccable. 👌🏼 definitely undermarked!

[@TheSunshineHappy]

This was fabulous best dance of the night! Sheer entertainment! Should have been marked higher! 🥳🎉

[@naimaboukhouf7357]

😮😮😮😮 if I'm 4ight he had dance experiences too and nobody's mentioned it why He is good but he does mistakes too And as ,ots thinking he is handsome so never-ending Not fair for others can improve !!!!

[@freddiesmith7463]

Bobby is not dance trained and is not a professional dancer. He said that he likes dancing at parties...as most of us do. @@naimaboukhouf7357

[@notjadethirlwalllll8691]

This is the dance that deserved the first 10!!! Absolutely amazing and so under marked

[@yvonneholmes2990]

And here we go again ....lets piss the general public off possibly letting dud dancers win. Good job theres not a dancing poodle. They all try it BGT....XFACTOR....its rusty and old ffs

[@zstarzzstarz189]

Bobby’s smile is pure joy and reminds me of Jade. She would absolutely love this performance and am sure she’s looking down on him with beaming pride

[@nanab1234]

No she won't be. Don't be idiotic

[@Sararizzles]

I knew I've seen those hips before. Eat your heart out Saturday Night Fever this boy has them Travolta moves. More dances to show them off please Strictly!

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Score - *9/10* Dance of the night along with Ellie for me! Such strong rhythym, great storytelling, the stationary walks were fabulous and there was such good hip action and it's so nice to finally see Bobby extending and using his arms to the maximum. This had such a flow and great quality of movement. I loved the routine, it was upbeat, energetic and it brought the party to the room I absolutely loved it. I think Bobby is a dead cert for the final because he is likeable, he's paired with Dianne and he hasn't been ridiculously great yet but he has been floating near the top every week :)

[@charlottehardy822]

Agree

[@kathleenoneill5470]

Yes agree 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@zahra9813]

I slightly disagree with you, I think this was HIS dance. Those hips! Wow! Samba is such a difficult dance for celebrities to do and he made it look effortless. I’ve been watching this on repeat just like I’ve watched (still watching) Hamza’s salsa last year. I see a Hamza in Bobby.🙂

[@Rai_S82]

I couldn't stop smiling through this!! Go on, Bobby!! 😂🎉

[@Timevortex-x8o]

Bobby and Diane are such wonderful dancers hope they win this

[@bellatricks6647]

I need them to get to the final and redo this dance! It was joyful, they looked like they were lost in the dance. My favourites ❤

[@geoliaful]

He's a natural; his movement, his body language wow! What a great dancing couple

[@lauw8653]

What an absolute star Bobby is! Just oozes infectious happiness and that ‘it’ factor ❤

[@Anonymous-xk4fy]

Amazing hip movement from Bobby, he has improved by a mile! 8/10 from me, they will definitely go far.

[@abbyjones9804]

Love him. What a joy!

[@maxreed2343]

THIS is why Bobbi's totally this year's big hopeful finalist winner for me, just as much as fellow now former EE star member Rose Ayling-Ellis was in 2021, he and Dianne are making such a wonderful pair indeed, no question about it, if Bobbi gets her to the finals... EE helped establish you as older Freddie Slater, Bobbi, and now, BOY is Strictly furthering your amazing talent even more, if dear mumma could see you now, I'm sure she would be bursting with pride at her wonderful son's growing success, yes, sir

[@Happydayzzz_]

One week on and I’m still obsessed with this!

Loved this dance, it definitely should have been marked higher, it was the dance of the night and probably the best samba ever!! Bobby is so incredibly likeable, you can not help but smile seeing him smile and Dianne is the best female professional by far. Tx❤️
