Judges' Pick: Debbie McGee & Giovanni Pernice Salsa to Can’t Take My Eyes Off You - Final 2017

[@bert1029]

I want "D-E-B-B-I-E... DEBBIEEEEE!" permanently on loop.

[@Fatima502]

Yes, whoever had that idea deserves a mini glitterball

[@Bucho-82]

I met Debbie last night and she was an absolute queen. Such a nice lady!

[@danielshumkin8842]

Technically, it was probably one the best Salsas ever on SCD. Unbelievably great hip action, perfect arms, fantastic mood. It was a proper Salsa, spiced with humor, with great acting, with fantastic musicality and extraordinary lifts. It wasn't flawless, but it was unbelievable great. A 9.

[@naimaboukhouf7357]

[@lizbethanne67]

Debbie should hav won strictly come dancing she's professional and a joy to watch

[@ifeelpretty5790]

Giovanni is too cute at the beginning lol

[@b.gaynor7617]

She should have won that year!

[@margueritahancock5472]

I think they let Kevin win because it was his last year Debbie and Giovanni were brilliant.

[@izzywilliams2726]

@@margueritahancock5472 wasnt it joe mcfadden that year who won with katya

[@strictlyjudgesfan797]

Favourite dance off strictly EVER! Amazing lifts that defy gravity, great song choice, good start (D-E-B-B-I-E) , Debbie had a good solo piece at the begging also. Definitely my personal favourite dance. And I would give it a well deserved 10 x❤️💙

[@vanessalouise8988]

This video put a smile 😁 on my face.

[@gmehaywood4010]

D E B B I E DEBBIEEEEEE

[@georginamiller4633]

[@christinamahon1391]

Omg how did they not win !!!

[@MarionFindlay-s9s]

😢😢😢😢 loved her on all her telly stints👌🥰

[@szlendak1368]

this is incredible she seems so old yet she dances so good

[@rebeccascowcroft]

Szlendak I think at the time of this she was 57 or very near to that, ur right it’s amazing

[@rosebrown9265]

Never think an old woman can't dance

[@lyes-ot6it]

I dont think she looks "so old" but like a mature woman who aged well and can dance very well, i dont know if you watched Lulu on this show, "she" seemed quite old...^^

[@123malichi]

She was a trained ballet dancer

[@lizkavanagh8218]

So old

[@RSinatra1]

I’m in awe of this woman

[@ollybarnes2553]

Debbie luks like a professional dancer ❤

[@alidabaxter5849]

Debbie's Argentine Tango was also sensational.

[@alidabaxter5849]

I thought her Argentine Tango was the best ever.

[@LolaGooner]

So much better than the first time round 👏🏾

[@keithgriffiths9864]

Also a great tune ❤

[@emmyjo720]

The glasses make it look like a tribute to The Two Ronnies, which fits as he died about two weeks after Paul.

[@laurajones3353]

Better then the first time, lost the continuous movement though, she stopped and started several times. Still MY personal fave Salsa of the series, well done Mrs McGee!

[@abbiex6202]

Yes go on Debbie

[@ЮлияЛюблян]

VERY GOOD, LOVELY THANKS

[@michiming]

wow amazing!

[@julierasen5365]

I love you dance and I love the song

[@vanessalouise8988]

Great partnership in 2017 Giovanni Pernice put the smile on Debbie McGee face again after she became a widow in 2016.

[@marycheevers1966]

Please bring back Giovanni .. 😢

[@molnarszerka2140]

It is fantastic 👏🥰❤❤❤

[@liamsmith326]

Queen Debbie

[@3nd7r37]

She should have won

[@paulmorris9605]

awesome 40

[@tmsdrawings9275]

Day ai Bai Bai I ey DEBBAYYYY

[@msjademary]

2024 ❤

[@angelarickards6315]

Debbie should have won. I know she had ballet training when she was younger. But she was 60 when she did SCD and ballroom and latin are very different.

[@mabelschaller603]

Exelente!!!!

[@ExLibris-Alys]

When Giovanni says, “Get in!” at the end 😆😆😆

[@douglasholt8353]

Looking good

[@erikalissetmontoyaminaya6728]

Woo increíble bailarín pero la señora me impresionó mucho para no ser bailarina profesional baila muy bien...😍

[@meredithgrace3005]

latin is not the strongest base of her dancing but she went out there and gave it her all

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

Always a fan of Andy Williams and Kate since Love Story 69, Elaine XX 😘

[@sioelanteng474]

My guess is that the fast salsa rhythm made it difficult to show more hip movements; you have to rush most of your steps. Different if it was a rumba, where you can focus on your hip movements.

[@leemau]

Hi Eastwood Paul I have just been paid to a call from westwood mark. Thanks

[@happybunniesbinky5250]

Someone make a ringtone of this

[@magnificentminion703]

Anyone notice that the 1st time and the judges pick of this salsa they both had different singers

[@kateking8820]

I am surprised the judges picked this dance- certainly wasn't her best dance.

[@kateking8820]

I know the format of the dances of the final performers. Just surprised they picked this particular dance for Debbie.

[@theo2047]

It annoys me when the judges pick dances that were already rly good. In the good old days, they used to pick one of their worst ones (like this dance) but with Joe, Gem and Alex the dances picked still got quite high scores the first time round.

[@kateking8820]

Theo Adam that’s what I thought my thoughts exactly Theo.

[@skettaja]

this was so good! :D what were the scores??

[@mateuszkuchnecki]

Taja 39 (9,10,10,10)

[@aaronwilkins3511]

TLDM does not do it justice anymore it has to be TSFDM: the Strictly Fearless Debbie MCgee

[@cristianalexanderrojassanc6388]

¿a qué hora empieza la Salsa?

[@mariiamghazy]

Wow

[@roset3887]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@scdobserver835]

This is a feel-good dance. Not so much for me as a Salsa, but more like a showdance. The cutest part of this dance was the beginning when Giovanni did his now famous 'spelling' of Debbie's name. I am in a generous mood so I'll give it a nine even though after that one arm lift she still didn't dismount smoothly...

[@aaronwilkins3511]

SCD Observer it got a well deserved 39

[@goawayleavemealone2880]

After the horror that was Giovanni during Laura Whitmore's run, it's good that he's back to being his adorable self. I think Gleb leaving created a weird vortex, that made everybody else a little narcissistic.

[@blurlover13]

I got her autograph once

[@ltyrell405]

She was a career dancer.

[@pennyandfishy7241]

The lifts looked like they went wrong at the end but she had lots of content and when the lifts went not bad they were amazing. Her arms show the sexiness of the dance as at bits she did have hip action but you are meant to keep the hip action all time round. 8 because of the lifts and hips as they were not perfect and we are at the grand final.

[@samkirkpatrick9581]

Should have got 80

[@avanolan4705]

Yeah they should of

[@RM-rc1tf]

I know it's the final but this wasn't a 10. Still lacks hip rotation so a 9 from me but she is still amazing!

[@leeandbeahinton]

Une femme d'un certain age....

[@teleopinions1367]

She looked awkward doing the hip action, but it was a very athletic routine. The important thing is that they had fun.

[@Thomas_Ruiz]

8

[@celinekhoo9925]

She’s F.A.B. 4 her age.

[@harryscorner8613]

I don’t really feel any great improvement from the first time. Some aspects were a lot better but not all. 9.

[@suerogerts4330]

love Debbie but let's not forget ex ballet dancer and director of her own dance school so I'd be gobsmacked if she couldn't dance 😂😂😂😂😂

[@123malichi]

She was 59……..Amazing

[@corinnewoolley4638]

She didn’t win because she was a trained dancer, so why have her on the show, how boring would it be if everybody was a novice or Ann Widdicombe, no one would watch, the BBC are all hypocrites…..

[@jeniferbarns2438]

Yes it was good but Debbie is a trained dancer, so can move and get the lines I thought Strictly was for those who don't have any dance history while Debbie definately does and I'm glad she didn't win to be fair

[@ljc6535]

Like a rag doll

[@jojos853]

She should of won ...fixed...

[@ShikiraPressley]

You don't need to be gymnastic to be beautiful - I am and far more than DM she is stick insect fanciable to men of 50 plus years

[@evajones7704]

Sadly, Debbie’s feet were not good in this.

[@susanlee2835]

She is so me me me look at me I'm really Big Headed and sickly ...
