I was iffy about the first time this dance got 40 because I felt it could've been better but today Karim showed that improvement beautifully. The flicks and kicks were all sharp, the spin at the end was flawless this time and it just shows how much he has grown in these weeks! I was rooting for Kelvin to win but honestly would've been just as happy to have seen someone as hard working as Karim lift the glitterball. Brilliant brilliant stuff!

MESMERISING, JAW-DROPPING, INSPIRING!! It was definitely one of the best jives EVER!! Both the choreography and the Karim's execution were of a professional competition level! Karim's footwork was absolutely MAGNIFICENT and his hip action during the jive chases was really THE BEST I HAVE EVER, EVER SEEN ON THE SHOW!! It was like watching a true professional ballroom dancer in action. Perfect capturing the essence of the footwork of the jive, TERRIFIC execution and FLAWLESS sense of rhythm and artistry!! This jive had it all!! The incorporation of some ballet steps was STUNNING!! This performance by Karim was the pure majestically gorgeousness of proper ballroom dancing!! He is such an inspiring young man, with a big heart and a sensational dance talent!! Last time I gave him a 10 forb this jive, and once again, it was even more fantastic without the additional dancers... A 10!!!

Kelvin's showdance was the best showdance ever, hands down.

[@eviemitchell978]

@@fatherfountain1906 Kelvin's showdance was a clunky mess, it was fast paced and impressive to watch but he severely lacks the style and flair Karim has. When Karim dances he is like Fred Astaire with beautiful lines, everything placed neatly and cleanly, shaping in his arms, extended fingers etc, plus he uses facial expressions and pointing/clapping actions etc to perform which is seen in this jive, all of which makes him enjoyable to watch. No offense to Kelvin but his huge physique make him look like he lumbers around the dance floor with no style or grace at all. If Karim had done Kelvin's style of showdance he would have done it far better.

[@simonlawrence3095]

Kelvin overall likely deserved to be the King of the Ballroom this year, his consistent performances wowed both judges and audiences week in week out and he had arguably the best female dancer in the whole show choreographing every performance and working to his every strength but, this for me is standout performance of Strictly 2018 and more importantly, the best Jive I have ever seen on the show. It is incredible to think that after Jill and Darren made it famous, Jay and Aliona put a Jive down I never thought would be rivalled and whilst watching this performance for the very first time, I turned to my company and said "This is the one that people will always talk about" Karim brought an unbearable amount of personality to the dance to the point where I found myself rooting for him with every step, when his arms go up at the end its kind of a moment of triumph and instinctively I clapped in front of the television. I got lost in his performance. Karim and Amy's Jive is the benchmark now moving forward. I have to agree with those comments that state it is a better dance without the additional dancers and what is truly incredible is that this was danced so shortly after the first performance however, it kind of all felt brand new and fresh. Well done Karim and well done Amy!!

[@Alicia-go8lw]

Have to disagree with what you said about Kelvin being the king of ballroom- his quickstep was the only really good one he had imo whereas Karim did an outstanding foxtrot, tango, quickstep and American smooth

[@simonlawrence3095]

Alicia Just to elaborate there I meant there ballroom in general not that he was the better ballroom dancer as opposed to the Latin. What I mean is that despite Karim giving me this jive, overall, on the whole Kelvin was a deserved winner

Have to disagree. Karim is a trained dancer, both Kelvin and Emma aren’t and Strictly is fundamentally about ‘learning’ to dance. Karim loves himself too much, he was happy to be praised but the slightest negative comment from the judges showed his petulance and arrogance all over his face! He faked humility and quite frankly loves himself a little bit too much. Kelvin was the deserved winner; humble, genuine and an all round lovely man.

[@Alicia-go8lw]

@@varm8878 This isn't a personality contest. I think you need to take off your rose tinted glasses and see that Kelvin isn't as wonderful as you think he is, because you honestly sound pathetic. You can't know what somebody is like from watching them on the telly. However I think the way the other pros and celebs act around Karim is a good indicator that he's lovely in real life. Chris adores him and just look at everyone's reactions when he got his first 40, they went absolutely mad and both Gorka and Graziano came and picked him up. They all love him and if he's as horrible as you say, they wouldn't.

Alicia It’s showbiz not real life! The only “pathetic” one around here is you Darling... trawling every thread on every video to find comments about Karim that you don’t agree with and replying with your obsessive fan worship.
