Chris & Dianne Viennese Waltz to Nothing Else by Metallica & San Fran Symphony ✨ BBC Strictly 2024

[@MyrnaOKeeffe]

He is the only contestant that I've replayed multiple times times this year and it's simply because I'm in awe of how he performs with Diane every week mezmorising 😮

[@vallee3140]

I have also replayed his dances lots of times, they just make you feel good.

[@RosaCurness]

I'll be watching his dances for years. Chris and Dianne are the best pairing ever on the show and how they emotionally connect with each other is very moving. Chris is also the best male dancer ever in my view because he feels the music so exquisitely

[@suerichardson4381]

Ditto he just makes you smile

[@jacquelineosullivan3076]

Me too! I just LOVE them both. Will never be another pairing like this.

[@jacquelineosullivan3076]

I’m not crying…you are. Wow! Beautiful and haunting. The judges comments and reactions along with the emotion from Chris and Dianne afterwards was touching beyond words. I’ve never been more moved by a a strictly pairing😢

[@UniMagik]

Not Chris and Dianne FLOODING the ballroom with tears 😭😭 Her speech afterwards was great and exemplifies why Chris is a champion. (Any chance the BBC can publish that clip? It's very important representation!) The man has absolutely NO frame of reference for ANY OF THIS. Genuinely has no idea about placement, coordination, ZILCH. Yet week after week for 3 months has DELIVERED AND ASTOUNDED with amazing dancing. My winners and I sincerely hope the British public agrees. Dianne deserves this so much! ❤

[@litzmendoza8165]

Totally agree lets get him in the final & to win win they absolutely deserved it 🙏🏻🏆

[@tracyjacob7091]

And to get where he is without having no dance experience is truly amazing

[@mariadangelo2943]

Every time l watch Chris an Dianne dance to that beautiful waltz l jst cry the music the song the words r so powerful Chris ur so brilliant an the message u send out is positive an Dianne her posertive feed bck encouragement luv respect 4 Chris is humbling truly wht a luvly partnership u hve..ur both exceptionally talented ppl..may u both hve many blessins sendin u gd vibes peace of mind spirit luv always luv an hugs..best wishes frm me Maria in west london..x x 🫂😭❤️🙋‍♀️

[@lunagrace8717]

I can't wait to see them win , it woul be poetic. ....Trophy or not, that man is a triumph and Diane has proven her worth . CHRIS AND DIANNE FOR THE WIN

[@anitamarais1863]

Yes they deserve 1st place.

[@thedruekefamilyadventures8890]

Full. Body. Chills. Dear British People, Please vote like hell next week for Chris and Dianne. Do not let us down. Sincerely, An American and the rest of the world 🫶

[@lindaaitken7679]

I certainly will ❤

[@halflink]

I certainly will too

[@kerryshepherd5676]

Me too ✋

[@dianethomson8394]

Agreed! From New Zealand.

[@alisonmccannoffline]

Definitely Yes 100% Voted For Chris and Dianne, they are the true winners.😀👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🕺💃🏆

[@burntcoppery]

I don't get how perfect his footwork and timing is. they're a brilliant partnership.

[@rafaelyaguaro2842]

You can feel Diane emotions at the end, and I know she always gives her heart and soul with each contestant she gets, but I can feel what it means to her, and Chris too, getting to this point. I love a lot of the semi finalist, but I don't care, Chris and Diane must win this year!

[@GreenGrass-l7]

I agree to everything you said, and yes, they should win, by all means. 👍

[@kerryshepherd5676]

Chris and Dianne to win 🏆 ❤ this dance was beautiful and emotional 😢 love them both they are my WINNERS 🏆 ❤ ♥

[@Ant.Gib.]

Whilst you're watching a dance as good as this, nothing else matters....

[@Atom-56]

Third time lucky in the final, for Dianne Buswell. She has done the most amazing job of producing Chris, to become the incredible dancer that he is.

[@alanagallacher9144]

Joe would be so proud

[@mitchhills4747]

Chris is a remarkable human being...

[@lyndsayjohnson4101]

This was beautiful . My favourite contestant ever

[@RosaCurness]

I was in tears all the way through this. Chris and Dianne how you can emotionally connect with me through a TV screen is astonishing. Chris' frame is even better, shoulders are down and hes perfectly upright. Also no-ones ever mentioned his hand shaping which is spot on. So many celebs also never do a fleckerl because they're so difficult. This dance deserved 40. Love you both

[@GreenGrass-l7]

Yes, the fleckerl, I noticed that too. And he did it so well!

[@linzertube]

Awww! Dianne’s emotional whispers to Chris at the completion of the dance did me in! A beautiful dance…so well done…music perfect! Glitterball winners for me.❤❤

[@vallee3140]

I can never get what she says , except for she is proud of him?

[@StiofaininIreland8168]

DESERVES TO WIN this is beautiful and pulls at the heart strings

[@jogle24]

They've already won. It doesn't matter what the result is. They have changed millions of peoples' perception of what is possible. No other contestant apart from Rose has ever come close to that. To achieve what she did as a deaf person was amazing but this goes way beyond that.

[@annettealexander3673]

My god he is so good Dianne is just amazing pro

[@seandixon9321]

What a dance, Dianne's choreography is stunning and the way she and Chris dance together is magical. Deserved a 10 in my opinion ❤

[@Penguin-24S99]

Chris and dianne need to win they have been the perfect partnership, his timing and musicality are amazing

[@mellybeetaylor8177]

That was exquisite!!! Danced from the heart, posture was spot on, footwork was wonderful, Chris looks so comfortable dancing to it!! Made me emotional. 10/10

[@nuttybex]

Utterly inspired song choice from Chris. This had us in floods of tears last night, absolutely stunning Viennese waltz… the footwork and routine was incredible. We watched back the Cha Cha from week one after as it featured the same through the legs move and it was amazing how much smoother and timed it was last night. Chris is incredible for showing that anything is possible and Dianne is amazing for showing that adapt and overcome is a true thing when trying to teach someone out of your usual methods. I would LOVE to see them take the Glitterball next week ❤❤

[@MsGrockle]

I have actually danced that under the legs move! It requires trust and precision timing from both parties to use momentum, core strength and balance. Difficult enough to pull it off when both dancers have sight, so I applaud them for including this move.

[@rebeccablanche6183]

my fave dancer this year

[@enawilson3210]

I cry with pride for Chris showing your disability does not define you it's how you show it won't stop you doing anything you want ❤

[@2010emilie123]

He’s my winner. I hope he’s everyone else’s too x

[@kristinejarvis4003]

Chris is amazing, our winners❤ Dianne is a amazing teacher❤

[@veepl8967]

The more I watch this, the more beautifully haunting it gets

[@vallee3140]

I have rewatched it so many times, and I still get chills.

[@TruthSeekingElf]

@@vallee3140 Same, I wish they would upload the scores as they do everyone else. What´s that all about?

[@vallee3140]

@@TruthSeekingElf They used to upload the judges comments and the scores together. I might ask BBC

[@TruthSeekingElf]

@@vallee3140 Yes do!! They should really as not only would they make more money but it´s good to see the rest not just when the dance ends. x

[@vallee3140]

@@TruthSeekingElf Have sent a message to the BBC, just hope they listen.

[@MsKatyDod]

Oh, wow! Chris’ posture has *never* looked better, and they NAILED it!! 9 from me! ❤

[@mchelpa]

Watch this through three times, then once more with your eyes closed, visualising performing the dance as you listen.

[@diego_fe]

So i watched this performance earlier today and it made me emotional, and that rarely happens, and its never happen with seeing someone dance, but i could feel every emotion in each step. Now ive come back to find out he is blind and im truly blown away!!! ❤

[@Bethhhf]

First he danced to KISS and now Metallica! A man after my heart! 🥰

[@pottell]

I was on the edge of tears all the way through, and they flooded out when Chris did a fleckerl. Such a challenging and technical move. I can't begin to imagine how Diane taught it to him. They are outstanding, these two.

[@victoriagill1588]

Dianne was showing her Australian roots too. There were a few New Vogue Swing Waltz moves in there 😍

[@linzirainbow6577]

The partnership that Chris and Dianne have and the trust they have in eachother is something that would usually take years to build, yet they continually prove how committed they are to the experience they are sharing, Dianne by trusting in Chris and his capabilities and Chris by trusting Dianne to know what they are. Every week they have performed a dance that is recognisable when it could have been so easy for Dianne to compromise with Chris's footwork and choreography because in reality he wouldn't have known. They have created a magical and memorable partnership under exceptional circumstances with hard work, trust and determination. They would be worthy winners.

[@heidiblades4811]

This was such a heartfelt performance. I hope these two are in the final🤞

[@Coconut_2024]

Chris is amazing he should win the show hope everyone will vote for chris to win it wish you all the best in the finals Chris 🎉

[@lunagrace8717]

Nothing Else Matters, live your life with all you got. ✊💖

[@daniellebelisle2446]

I love Dianne. What a beautiful soul. ❤🥹

[@Bethhhf]

Metallica on Strictly! I’m obsessed! 🥰😍

[@halflink]

Couldn't be much more from the heart. Forever trust in who we are, and nothing else matters. The song said it all. Nothing to add here, really. Only that I got some sand in my eye.

[@samimai6070]

Tbh I’ve not thought of Chris in the final but after last night and the journey he’s been on my for he can dance!!! Especially being visually impaired it’s actually amazing!! Definitely want to see him and finally dianne! As the winners of strictly!! So well deserved he’s grown the most! ❤

[@hollymatton474]

I loved this routine and it made me feel really emotional! 😢 Chris and Dianne have come so far and for me they are the winners! ❤❤

[@natg9204]

Winners in my eyes, they have embodied everything strictly should be about, had my vote every week from the start, Diane has done an amazing job teaching Chris and just look at the improvement week in week out, and how he performs, he really is an inspiration and an absolute credit to Diane as a dance partner. Hoping you both get through to the final, then win. Good luck both of you xxx❤

[@GreenGrass-l7]

Their final embrace made me tear up ... how happy they were ... this couple is unbelievable!

[@halflink]

It was part of the choreography I think (which made it so powerful). If you watch it back, they embrace on the final note of the music and Dianne's steps are leading into it.

[@GreenGrass-l7]

@@halflink I know (it was obvious). But it was very powerful nonetheless and transported a lot of real emotions, that's how it felt to me anyway. 😉

[@TruthSeekingElf]

I felt it too and I felt it was real. See my comment above. Beyond beautiful, truly Divine.

[@megsmarsden9388]

this dance made me emotional watching Chris and Dianne i've enjoyed watching them all series , hope they Win

[@Jules-fz5sn]

Incredible 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done Chris & Dianne. Wishing you both all the best for the final 🎉🎉🎉

[@MsMoem]

Yay!! You can do anything you want to do as evidenced by Chris - superb!! Great stuff Dianne, you are a brilliant teacher!! 🦹🦹🦹🦹🦹

[@alisonmccannoffline]

That sure was the most brilliant and amazing Viennese Waltz by Chris and Dianne to the song Nothing Else Matters by Metallica and I absolutely loved it. Got alot of votes from both my husband and me. Chris and Dianne truly 💯% deserve to go through to the final, and to win the Glitterball Trophy. Chris and Dianne are definitely the true winners😀👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🕺💃🏆

[@mel24681]

Amazing dance and choice of music was perfect match for Chris. They both floated the room, and you can tell Chris' visual impairment has enhanced all his other senses/spacial awareness beautifully now that he has so much more confidence. Dianne has done wonders and finally Chris didn't need the comedy to fall back on. Just pure Chris!❤

[@jocelynfobb5856]

I have watched their Viennese Waltz 10 times and cannot fathom why they never received a score of at least 39/40! His posture, footwork, timing, the fleckerl which was executed flawlessly ...his covering of the dance floor and musicality...but most of all ...how they connected and showed the audiences at Elstree and in homes around the world that 'Nothing Else Matters... ' when they're dancing together. They have touched the hearts of so many and that is what dancing is all about. Their hugs and tears at the end had me sobbing and bursting with pride at the same time. My winners since their first dance! 💝👏🌟🪩🪄

[@brigiddubhe]

Beautifully said! They've deeply moved me. I just love them.

[@vallee3140]

I have re-watched it so many times, and I think the reason was, when he did the Fleckle , instead of staying on the same spot he wandered a bit.

[@kaylapettrey5371]

WOW! Just WOW! 😍😍😍😍😍 This was so beautiful! Chris and Dianne, I’m so proud of you both! ❤️ Thank you for being so wonderful and genuine! I’m captivated every time I watch you two! AMAZING! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@laurad4003]

Deserved at lesst one 10. Absolutely stunning and beautiful song choice! 💜

[@symetizeltd3015]

Wow Wow, just loved this dance. I don't have words to praise it enough!!

[@ravenclawrumba7096]

This made me feel emotional, which is rare, I didn't think this song would fit but how wrong I was. The footwork was the best I've seen in a Vienesse for a long time, I am just blown away. The elbow did droop at times, but for me this was still by far Chris's best dance. 9/10

[@susanashcroft2674]

Simply beautiful, danced from the heart. Thank you.

[@Phoenix-regenerating]

The heart expressed throughout that dance was astounding. The pure care expressed by Chris and Dianne with every step and movement. Ive rarely seen the like. A heart felt gratitude and love, for the tears of warmth and joy.

[@em_ranf]

Beautiful dance to a beautiful song. Let’s go Chris and Di ❤🎉

[@jacquelineosullivan3076]

I’m not crying…you are. Wow! Beautiful and haunting. The judges comments and reactions along with the emotion from Chris and Dianne afterwards was touching beyond words. I’ve never been more moved by a a strictly pairing😢

[@kittymetal186]

Totally agree, well said.

[@halflink]

If Craig took out his 7 paddle after what he said (as he did with other C&D's dances, including the Charleston), he would have been probably torn to pieces by the angry mob, led by Claudia, Tess, Motsi, Shirley and Anton 😁

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Score - *9* Aww, that was beautiful, it was a moment I ended up feeling emotional aswell, I must remember to watch Chris's routines back when I always think I can't do something, such as learning to drive or getting into uni etc.. because this is just amazing, that fleckle was so good and his posture is great now it's come on so far, he made going anti clockwise look so natural, most people avoid it on a good day and he looked like he'd been doing that for weeks. Graceful, elegant, poised and everything a Viennese Waltz is about, Dianne as always does an amazing job in bringing the best out in Chris, like she's been doing with all of her partners for the last 7 years, she really is a gem 💙

[@AaronWilkins-w8e]

Fleckerl....

[@pennyandfishy7241]

@AaronWilkins-w8e auto correct :)

[@bessieburnet9816]

Apart from his posture looking off, blooming brilliant! I loved it! And it really got me that they actually choreographed it ending on a hug! I have loved this two since week one! They have done so well, and they are so inspiring! And there bond nas been beautiful to witness! Dianne has been my favourite since 2018, but I have found a whole new universe's worth of respect for her as a dance teacher for what she has achieved with Chris this year. Winning may not be everything, but they have certainly already won. They will be remembered on Strictly for years to come.

[@meredithgrace4337]

Next is Chris and Dianne dancing the their second dance The Viennese Waltz. I usually like Viennese Waltz's in a more classical style but this style really suits Chris's style, loved the soft and sweetness this dance and this pairing provided, you can be as technically good as you want but the viewers pick the favourites this year the viewers sweethearts have been Chris and Dianne and Pete and Jowita, both these pairs have be natural, real, themselves and good luck to both couple's geting thought to the final.

[@louiselucilla2163]

I wonder if we realise the effort that goes into being taught to dance as a blind person? All credit to Chris for learning a difficult concept, but all credit to Dianne, also, for teaching him the steps and maneuvers.. I am enthralled everytime I watch them dance.

[@lauralamont1802]

This should have received a perfect score ❤ simply incredible

[@sueboileau8045]

Lost count how many times I have watched it . Beyond words . Dave amazing

Literally couldn't give a damn about anyone else. The dude is blind, and he's dancing at least as well as every other person. Plus he's funny as all hell.

If they are not Champions I wonder why. Diane for her excellent teaching and Chris for his amazing dancing.

[@creshaunh]

I know we have our dancers of the competition this year, but I wouldn't be mad AT ALL if Chris won this whole thing! He reminds me of Bill in 2020. Not the best dancer, but have routines that was amazing to watch OVER and OVER, especially for a person who doesn't have points of spots!!! Its sooo good!!

[@joannebear7351]

Amazing ; praying they win⭐️

stunning performance from them!! 🥹🥹 I'm sooo proud!! 🥰🥰

[@EthanBell-h5x]

This was truly incredible. Was it the best dance of the night? No. But that didn’t even matter because in the moment, it just felt so incredible. It was emotional, it was elegant, it was fantastically danced. And again, the dancing didn’t even really matter because it was just the emotion of the dance that felt great. 9

[@bellatricks6647]

This was stunningly beautiful VW. Everything about it worked. Chris has developed so much over the last 3 months he is unrecognisable from the first show. Dianne what a superb teacher together they are a perfect partnership. So much love and respect between them. I hope they win 🪩
