What the heck! He was on fire, he hit every move strong and the song choice was super! His face expressions was cool and groovy. He kept up with Karen so well and you can tell he tried so hard and put everything into that. He was really energetic! :)

Jamie looks like he was having a brilliant time doing this dance. Looks like a scene from Kissing Booth 2. What an aerobic workout!

[@HeartCoils]

Jamie has such great timing with Karen, in last week’s samba and then now this week in this. He keeps up with her and really holds his own

[@nadman.x]

Why is no one talking about how Karen rolls on the floor when she does her solo bit??? It gets me every time and literally no one mentioned it

[@EricSharkeyTheDWTSSuperfan]

Every time when I watch this dance I just keep on smiling from ear to ear. It's wonderful that Jamie was given a second chance to do Strictly despite being injured last season. This is what we've been waiting for from Jamie!

[@lorettasmith9730]

He really has his found his place and areas that suit him. He needs energy and fun ❤

[@303_studios]

The song throws me back, to the good old days :D This is a very good dance as well :D

Annoyingly, I’m starting to like him and this was actually very good

I'm disagree was funny that all not so great It's not fair to others they improving lots in difficult dance to be on top , really ridiculous!! In others dance he is not good

[@katenz100]

He's terrible on Chelsea and terribly charming on every single unscripted show.

[@kateking8820]

This dance was ACE!!! Jamie and Karen were our favourite's tonight by far

[@Anonymous-xk4fy]

Talk of Old Vibes! Honestly, the energy and the choreography was so good! I was having doubts about Jamie going this week, but Jamie was like Nah! WOW, Karen really knows how to make a comeback! 10♡︎

[@maddiegreen2334]

Jamie isn't my favourite, but holy heck he fully deserved his 10's!!!! This was incredible, I was sat with my mouth half open through it all, in shock!!!

[@ellamoss3526]

Is One of the best Blackpool dance in strictly history. I so hope Jamie will get through to the semifinals ✌️

[@henrymanley4116]

This wasn't in Blackpool

[@piecesofjess]

Actually here to watch the dance one mire time. The first time I was just starring at Karens abs.

[@jpbdude4223]

Let’s have a look then. The energy was well... perfect. Arguably one of the best street commercials seen on the show. Me personally I’d say devs and I would’ve gave that street a 10. And I’m giving this... A 10 too!

[@pennyandfishy7241]

One of my favourite street commercials ever. Karen's Street are like Anton's Foxtrot. Make Karen the street queen. Great synchronisation, kept up with Karen all the way through, footwork on point and he even incorporated break dancing, I was astonished at this. It was really quirky but pulled off brilliantly. I don't know much about street but it put a smile on my face, well done to him for his dedication and improvement week on week. I thought it was lovely. His best dance to date. Concerned how he thought street was harder than Samba. *10/10* faultless imo

[@beatstreetdance3363]

Choreographed by Lizzie Gough and Tommy Franzen

[@ZCarsMuppets]

I disagree

[@creshaunh]

Yeah, this my best street routine from Karen. It gave me proper breakdance content, while still have those elements of past Street routines (Charles Venn and Chris Ramsey). The synchronization was decent, especially when the tempo accelerated speed. I also like how the theme of the dance assisted the overall choreography of the routine. I love it!!!! *9!!!!!*

[@dinico9917]

What a massive improvement like what, From dance off to highest scorer of the night! He NAILED this routine Karen always does such an amazing job with couple's choice especially with street commercial! Wish he could of done a head spin to top it all off haha, 9!!

[@excrim2]

They really deserve the first place this week! AMAZING! AWESOME!

[@SiasCreations]

THIS! The energy, the sync, the fun, gosh this was BRILLIANT! Possibly my favourite performance of the night?! Jamie is going from strength to strength!

[@Yesthankyou8]

Have watched this dance about 10 times now, love it

[@danielthestrictlysuperfan6420]

BEST DANCE OF THE NIGTH... AND THE SERIES SO FAR!!! Iconic song, all the moves were there, Jamie's energy was of the charts, the choreography was a proper street dancing choreography it had absolutely EVERYTHING I wished to see in a street dance! wow, wow, wow... I wanted to jump up and join them, it was flawless, it had tones of attitude, the performance value was TERRIFIC, the combination of the steps was just GOLD!!! It was SENSATIONAL in every way, from start to finish, they burnt the floor with pure and intricate and proper street dance moves!!! PURE AND FANTASTIC DELIGHT!!! JUST WOW!!! Thank you Jamie and Karen, you rock!!! THAT is how you do a street dance!!! My score: for the first time this series... A 10!!!

I am SO glad he was saved in week one, because he is becoming one of my favourites for sure.

[@sholtorock5904]

This was an excellent week! Everybody brought their A-game! He was one of two dancers that really stood out for me tonight (the other one is Caroline) When they sped up the music I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing

[@DazBradyLM]

Totally brilliant. Jamie and Karen went to a whole new level with this dance. Love to see it again in the FINAL!!!!💖💖💖💖💖

[@RobertoRevAng]

Karen! The teaching of the choreo went amazing! I lowkey knew he would be good in street but this was amazing! I think that Bill switch from being the dark horse to contender and Jaimi went from the early exit to dark horse!

[@iNeedaDoctor21]

This dance was amazing! But can we just talk about the camera action at 1:20? Damn that's also some talented! Smooth work!

[@xxisabel11]

They look like bro and sis having a battle, when the where dancing.

I actually thought Jamie was better than Karen in this. Probably as her core is so strong and his is looser. Great fun though!

[@rossmh1495]

I know that couples choice are usually choreographed by other professionals but it genuinely wouldn’t shock me if Karen choreographed this herself - she has a background in street and I think she definitely would have the skills to do so. Anyway, Jamie really is going from strength to strength each week, I definitely didn’t think back in week 1 that he would be in week 5 let alone getting 10’s. This dance was FAST, packed with content and gave very little room to breathe let alone think about what comes next which shows the amount of practice the pair must be putting in each week. Also the fact he managed to keep up with Karen is something to be impressed at in itself, some of the pros on the show wouldn’t even be able to do, could be this be the dance to catapult Jamie to the final. Time will tell. 9/10

[@ciaraglasscott3197]

It was a great dance a definitely suited them both. It was another creation of Tommy Franzen/Lizzie Gough who have done some of the best routines of the series 😊

@@rossmh1495 yes I think they choreographed all the couple's choice routines so far as well as a couple of the Charlestons. I'm guessing maybe they send in videos of the routine to make it work with Covid but not sure. They are dynamite!

Genuinely might be the best Street Commercial ever in the show, I need to rewatch Dev’s. I always hate how with Street Commercial the choreography is rarely actually that challenging but this was great (props to the choreographer, I assume it’s not Karen as the pro’s rarely choreograph the couples choice)

[@megan5529]

This got two tens.... the judges have gone batshit mad, trying their level best to keep him out of the DO.

[@henryriley4958]

I have to be honest I don’t necessarily like Jamie. I find his voice super irritating But I will say he’s definitely one of the most improved in this competition and I definitely think this is his best dance so far but I think since it was a couples choice, it would be something more easy & l comfortable for him to succeed at

[@scarlettc8136]

Feel like he has a bad rep from being born into a wealthy family and obvs from being on Chelsea. But tbh he actually seems like a really cool dude, i don’t think I’ve ever seen any other strictly contender genuinely been more happy dancing on strictly more than him, like he really genuinely enjoys it. Thats why I’m guessing he’s getting the votes and points, because he’s fun!! Just because your favourite is not getting the points, don’t go hating on Jamie because he’s actually doing well.

[@joshnorman9925]

Arms were pretty sloppy for street. Wish they would do proper street instead of the basics
