Davood and Nadiya Argentine Tango to ‘The Phantom Of The Opera’ - Strictly Come Dancing 2017

[@dianegarciaprieto2118]

Loved Davood.,great performer showing all his acting skills to the full..Nadiya was a fantastic,dancer also.💯👏❤❤

[@charlottecarson6388]

LOOOOVED THIS!!!

[@emsiepops100]

Fair play to him for being the first out of two male celebs left this year to take on the challenge of the Argentine Tango. Although it was slightly wobbly in certain places, I thought the content and the final part was outstanding! It’s been a pleasure to watch Davood grow as a dancer, and hope he keeeeeeps dancing after the show 😊

[@GOSMGR1]

Great climax and that provoked quite a response from the audience.In my opinion giving a couple an Argentine Tango on a themed week is really throwing a curveball at them.It was unsteady in places but I have a feeling they will be safe.If they do reach the final, I think these two will produce a Showdance worth watching.

[@jacobmcelvogue6797]

Nadiya is so fit!!

[@maritta2504]

I'm so sad he is gone now..... I really wanted him to go to the final :(

[@07Lalli]

Davood! That was incredible. Especially the ending. I want Alex to win but it seems it might be a Debbie/Joe/Davood final!

[@mewtwothree456]

This was so much better in the dance off x

[@shelleyrightmyer6421]

Ilove you somuch miss

[@tinaforrester6431]

Brill dance under marked

[@ciaraduffy3341]

Unbalanced my ass!!!! Davood is my winner!!! Well done both of you

[@dreeee00]

This is sad but everything that was wrong with the routine were pretty much out of their hands...Phantom of the Opera is clearly not an Argentine Tango song. The choreography was too reliant on lifts and didn’t give Davood much to do which is not a fault of Nadiya since the pros don’t even choreograph the Argentine tangos. This whole thing smells like the producers wanting them to get Davood out instead of Mollie

[@jasoncolby2320]

i disagree. Perhaps Mollie got the pandemic or worse. Or better yet she can't dance. However Alexandra & Gorka were in the dance-off and moved on to their next week's dance. I don't like your comment cause it was brutal and disturbing. i would've given this a 9 to be honest.

[@gregsmith445]

I have watched Strictly for a number of years since I was little (9 or 10) and have loved the show ever since.... From what I've seen, compared to Debbie and Alexandra's Argentine Tango routines which were both flat out A.MA.ZING which just demonstrates how the routine is executed to perfection.🔥🔥🔥 This routine proved that Davood and Nadiya ran straight into a brick wall which landed them in the bottom 2..... Phantom of the Opera routine is more of a Paso Doble Halloween Week dance routine and the music just doesn't suite Argentine Tango standards at all tbh.😒😒👎👎 If there was a different theme like music changes and different chorography to their routine, it would have helped them and it would have been a different story, Davood would have probably gotten away reaching the Semis with the help of public votes if they loved it better. A very brave, strong effort from both of them to what was a very difficult, confusing and mediocre routine that didn't even sound like an Argentine Tango themed dance. It was a real shame and I did feel bad for them because made it this far in 11 weeks and were almost in contention for the glitter ball trophy that year in 2017.😢😢

[@LOSTinmycreation]

Bill will be doing this dance to this song. Hopefully it could go really good

[@evajones7704]

This doesn’t look like Vincent Simone choreography. Who is responsible for this.? It lacks that necessary dark sensuality and was jerky and weird in some places.

[@edwardharriss1463]

He doesn't do all of them

[@helenkuster4319]

Good try at a very difficult dance - Davood gets my vote every week

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

Looks like Tenerife! Where’s gorka Marquez? Probably in the background with Andrew tennis and tracey j? I thought Lee Helen was listening to the singing with his family and enjoyed the performance in the pizzeria???? Happy birthday Leighton 1993!

[@MsEnfield23]

I thought that this was brilliant!

[@danielshumkin8842]

I was unsteady in places and it was lacking the passion and the intimacy that is important and crucial in this dance. It could have been a fantastic number - he was creating some fabulous lines, he was very smooth and his musicality was great, but it wasn't grounded enough (his connection to the floor wasn't good enough, causing him to loose balance in places) and it was lacking in the terms of performance and characterization. A 7.

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Do think this as flat footed with Obvious mistakes but he did not bad at ten last 6 sections if I'm right but it was undermarked definitely and the singer was :/ to be honest. Loved the ending though where he was being used instead of Nadiya. 8

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

13 year old lawyers watching this performance in Tenerife

[@Juan-ou1ve]

Argentinian Tango is a very difficult dance

[@ams_a_ghost]

What did they do to the song

[@edwardharriss1463]

How the hell did this guy go out and Mollie stayed in, ridiculous

[@laurajones3353]

OK I actually love this song but the theme overtook the dance and he was stompy and not sharp enough. Where was the leg action? The ending 30 seconds or so was nice and well controlled... the rest? meh? Dance Off with Gemma if there's any justice.

[@phantomlover-ll7vy]

Who’s singing it?

[@emilywager2998]

The strictly singers. I think one is hayley Sanderson and I'm not sure who the man is.

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

The Ballroom is Haunted!!

[@HabA-qn1nv]

Nadia is too tall for him to be doing this dance, he still did very well

[@g3meov3r2]

personally I didn't see many issues apart from 1 balance one, a 9 from me, I don't want him to go because he has potential and is better than cr*p Mollie who desperately is begging to go home!

[@iyabom1]

Pete Good: definitely agree with you. I was so hoping that she was sent home. I think she is so stiff.

[@MsEnfield23]

Pete Good Agreed. I feel like I watched a different dance to the majority of people. Davood did well.

[@georgemorris3686]

The music is was auful

[@DianeBanks1]

Not a good week for Davood - the singer was terrible too = flat :\ Love the staging though.

[@ashm.7080]

Hope they get through to the finals 😁 if they don’t I’m going to cry 😢

[@ludman2233]

ASh M. Well

[@maritta2504]

Get your tissues ready, they are out.

[@g3meov3r2]

Why was it a fix? no one obviously voted for him and put him in the b2 and you know Alex is one of the judges favourite, I voted 3 times for him, you need to see it is a dance not improvement or personality contest and you need to vote the best dancers in not the ones you just like or favour, this is why Mollie can't get to the final she needs to go she has to it would be ludicrous to let a mediocre dancer in the final over an exquisite one, just think.......

[@HabA-qn1nv]

Pete Good I think the judges favour Mollie and Debbie

[@maritta2504]

Don't think it was a fix as it was quite obvious the judges would save Alex since they liked her dance so much more than Davoods. But that Alex is in the bottom two despite beeing top of the leaderboard should have given them something to think about. Davood might have gotten through next week if he had the better dances (I think it was rather the dance itself that caused so few votes for him, same happened to Debbie with her not really praised Samba), not sure the same thing could be said about Alex though. Last week her Rumba was quite weak so people didn't vote, but this week she was top of the leaderboard and still bottom two? People really dislike her, what else can you do than try to top the leaderboard?

[@EmmaGriffiths]

they need to go back to letting the pros choose the songs, I feel so bad for them!

[@nadiyahjannah1882]

My name is Nadiyah

[@scdobserver835]

All the bits he did well in this dance has nothing to do with AT. He looks visibly unsteady several times. Highly stylised routine but didn't work overall. Pity. 7.5

[@alishaw3627]

SCD Observer I feel that Nadiya's choreography has held him back in some dances. She loves a 'wow' moment where she looks great but he is just standing around 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@scdobserver835]

Ali, I won't blame Nadiya with AT, as it's an outside choreographer for AT, Charleston and Salsa. I was critical of Nadiya for going for the lazy route in the beginning with irrelevant 'sexy' moves with their dances, but since the VW they did she had been on the strait and narrow. Their waltz was pure class last week. It goes to show that Nadiya could be a wonderful choreographer and Davood could match her choreography with proper dance content. But alas this week it was a hot mess with this routine. I think it's also the first time Nadiya danced to an AT so they were both unsure...

[@polljones8921]

straight

[@scdobserver835]

Davood, you can leave the quarter final with your head held high. Your dance off was a VAST improvement over the dance you did during the main show. For someone who started mediocre, you've become a beautiful dancer, especially your ballroom, your VW, AS and Waltz! **claps**. And Nadiya, I didn't like your choreography in the beginning (too many gimmicks) but you won me over since the VW week. Hope to see you again next series!

[@belle8125]

I only liked the ending part .

[@Thomassteven00]

I found it kind of boring to be honest I think he's in danger he will either be in the dance off with Gemma or Mollie

[@poppygrace6744]

Not a fantastic week for Davood. I saw quite a few times where he lost balance. 7.

[@henryboxall4328]

A bit dissapointing. They're were a lot of balance issues and some of it was quite heavy. 7

[@iloveluhan9307]

I loved this dance! but personally think he is in danger :(

[@mschrissi100]

Fab song, great routine. Just not so good together.

[@imogen238]

Great feet Davood!

[@ifeelpretty5790]

Once again he's Nadiya's pole

[@wozanazo1702]

the song is not good for A.T,bad choreography,sorry Davood.

[@meredithgrace3005]

A bit wobbly but brave good on him

[@eliopear3802]

Awful choreography - I do not like seeing the tango done with lots of Bum flash or bum in air routine.

[@miapendragon5931]

Jenny Lucy To be fair, the Argentine Tango is the dance of the prostitute and her client, so it could be a lot worse...

[@miapendragon5931]

Jenny Lucy True ahahaha

[@georgemorris3686]

He had balence issues and he looked a lot unsteady his worst week definitely

[@roblex63]

so let's see who win's the dance off ?? a tv actor... or.... someone who's been dancing everyday since winning the x-factor nearly 10 years ago.. Derrrrrrr.. and i thought this show was about creating dancers...

[@RM-rc1tf]

Poor choreography and execution. 5.

[@470George]

I just think the choreo is just shit, which stems from the music, which is shit for an AT. Kara did a splendid Paso to this because that's the dance this damn song suited as. Plenty of couples had been hosed with shit music this series, but most managed to pull through (Debbie's Black Eyed Peas Tango in particular), Davood here just sadly couldn't cut it.
