Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton Argentine Tango to 'Tanguera' - Strictly 2016: Week 7

[@RM-rc1tf]

Clean, crisp and genius choreography. By far one of the best dances of the season. 10.

[@christinemartindale7963]

I totally agree!

[@olapejup123agboolaukhlh8]

R M qb

[@janmaciejewski6129]

Wasn't crisp or clean actually - her leg movement at 0:05 was jagged. Same at 0:40

[@christinemartindale7963]

Suspicious Windmills well they got all 10's from the judges. They know what they are doing.

[@RM-rc1tf]

Suspicious Windmills Her first ronde was clearly meant to be like that and there actually was nothing wrong from 0:40. You're being wayyy too picky now. Clean & Crisp enough for a show like this.

[@davidling2936]

totally blown away. best dance of the series without question! well done Louise xxx

[@CharlotteJayneify]

Best Argentine tango I've seen on this show in years! Loved it

[@Ellie-qy5cj]

This is second dance I have wanted to watch again all season - the first being Claudia and AJ's charlestone. Simply brilliant.

[@abigailcarson5069]

Unbelievable. One of the best dances I've seen on Strictly

[@wendyransome6618]

Best dance so far and a high bar set for the arg tango!

[@carlyc938]

Stunningly danced. Stunning routine. They have a wonderful connection! Also, Louise is beautiful - wow! Her legs are unreal.

[@myawhite7246]

Finally! Louise has arrived. I've been waiting for her to show up, and she did. Get it!

[@BB_arbie]

Mya White your spot on with your comment.

[@myawhite7246]

Thanks! I'm really excited for her.

[@BB_arbie]

Mya White so am I.

[@cerrielang3358]

she was braw ....glad she is through tonight.

[@christinemartindale7963]

Fantastic! I loved it! The best of the night!

[@libbymercer]

Incredible! Louise is really upping her game, loved it👏🏼

[@nightsky5640]

PASSION. DRAMA. FIRE JUST AMAZING AND I LOVED THE MUSIC. BEST DANCE OF THE NIGHT!

[@claraausten]

Absolutely beautiful. Just love the tango. It is the vertical expression of horizontal desire.

[@lucywatters8150]

Geraldine Diggins Thought that was the rumba, according to film "shall we dance" ?????

[@MissCandine]

DANCE OF THE NIGHT.... Kevin showed her off with intricate foot work, unlike some male pro dancers who appear to be taking center stage... although I loved those turns Giovanni

[@GOSMGR1]

The WOW dance for Louise at last.She is the most consistent of this group and this could be a game changer for her. She reminds me in temperament of Kevin's other partners, Frankie Bridge and Kellie Bright.

[@katherinebrown8801]

Core that dance gives me the chills! I love the Argentine Tango and Louise was amazing!

[@JazDarcy]

Dance of the series! Incredible!

[@babybobs6]

absolutely amazing! gives me shivers!She did an amazing job here! and the music was just perfect - this should have gotten all 10s in my opinion

[@kiwigirljacks]

Kevin's cheography was on POINT!!!!

[@darcybrown7369]

Kevin's choreography was superb and well performed by both !

[@DianeBanks1]

she's getting better each week at bringing out the emotion in the dances - go louise!! ;)

[@lryhc]

THAT was AMAZING!!! I'm routing for Danny and Oti but this I had to give props to this dance! Kevin is quite a brilliant choreographer and the young lady executed it PERFECTLY!! I wish we in the States could vote also!

[@7pontiff]

"rooting"

[@lryhc]

Peter Harrison , thank you for the correct spelling.

[@PinkPeachVODS]

Man there really are some bitter people in the comments sometimes. Last week people kept saying how Louise was overscored because she wasn't in time, even though she WAS in time throughout that Charleston (I was looking at her feet the entire time and she never missed a beat). Now people are saying that she lacks passion and pointing out the tiniest things that don't even matter. I honestly think it's the anti-Clifton brigade out in full force, which I don't get because Kevin is a brilliant dancer and a wonderful teacher. But anyways, brilliant dance and Louise deserves to be top of the leaderboard this week.

[@marksaunders7920]

Couldn't agree more! There appear to be a cabal of miserable gits determined to not like their dances no matter what, eagerly picking out any teeny-tiny error, while letting other contestants pass and praising them to the high heavens. Pathetic!

[@aaronwilkins1843]

The details DO matter in an AT. 🙄🤦‍♂️

[@johnaburn1]

Best dance of the night! Hope these two win!!!!

[@aniboobear2417]

Her legs stayed beautifully straight, she was dramatic. She was elegant and is absolutely stunning to watch on the strictly stage! The work on the table was amazing and the end was great! But credits to kev with that sick choreo

[@louiseodonoghue7816]

this was a fantastic AT by louise and kevin

[@barbarabaxter2950]

Loved these two. Fabulous dance.

[@RayEmureMusic]

That ending though. Magnificent.

[@RainDrifter]

Louise is such a graceful dancer, particularly with the shape of her leg at 1:19.

[@Shmiguelly]

Dance of the series, and would be the dance of many previous series too. I was gasping and wowing at my TV. Exceptional in every way.

[@FacheChanteDeux]

ScarecrowHuggins Actually the ultimate Argentine Tango is Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough on Dwts. I doubt that anyone will ever beat her. Look it up and watch it. Nicole Scherzinger comes a very close second - watch her dances too, she is incredible.

[@aaronwilkins1843]

Are you kidding me!? Better than Ore's Jive or Showdance? Or Danny's Samba? No way

[@rubiginosaa]

Louise is definitely the best female dancer this season and this routine confirmed that

[@pwskelly]

This was the best dance on Saturday

[@thomasdamps2415]

Anyone who (wrongly) criticised her Charleston last week want to make snide remarks about this jewell of an Argentine Tango? An absolutely fantastic dance! I loved it!

[@violetkeddie1186]

Wow, amazing. Best dance yet.

[@MagosiaKotun]

Amazing dance. Beautiful choreography, excellent execution. I am very impressed.

[@SuperVideoGamingBros]

This is Louise's break-through dance! Finally on the top of the leaderboard where she belongs! :D

[@rizvaldo7209]

SuperVideoGamingBros break-up dance as well.

[@mokh211]

The ending and then the applause is the best part for me !

[@lottieandbertie]

YASSSSS she was amazing!!!

[@elacha2587]

Fantastic!!

[@douglasholt8353]

ait that bad

[@bobyule]

Louise is great when doing slow, smooth movements. She's very graceful, and this dance really showed off that quality in her dancing. She's not so great when needing to dance at pace or with sharpness, and this dance does demand moments of sharp attack. I'd have given a 9 rather than a 10.

[@sdixonesq]

Oh Louise 😍💃

[@douglasholt8353]

They was so amazing dancer I lv them

[@belladigitalworld]

I reckon she might make the final!

[@vanessalouise8988]

She did but didn't win in 2016.

[@katiekay6317]

A fabulous AT, fully deserved. I hope they get through to the final and get 40.

[@rosemaryfranzese317]

Loved this. Not quite up there with Simon Webb and Debbie McGee but definitely one of the best Argentine Tangos ever on Strictly and what a great help it is to have the right music

[@aaronwilkins1843]

Way better than Simon Webbe's. He virtually did nothing. This was another level technically and content wise

[@margueriteheale7829]

Your best dance in character Louise,well done ,should have a ten from some?

[@ruthlever2554]

what a fanastic performance

[@olivermiller7145]

In my opinion this should have got 40.

[@jgwhite55]

Loved it.

[@phoenix-xu9xj]

Kevin and Joanne Clifford are great choreographers!!!!!

[@lydiaalex474]

Best dance out of the whole strictly series 😍👍

[@francishills8917]

I liked it. the table kick was innovative.

[@mariano8n]

Fantastic fantastic fantastic!!! LOVE TANGO !!!

[@bunniesfrightenme]

One of the best ever

[@amirahussein6027]

what a powerful ending

[@michaelgabrielraphael9554]

Wow that's a nice one....You know in the US DWTS a really nice Argentine Tango is Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough from a few years ago...one of my fav dances is the Argentine Tango and Lousie /Kevin did very well! :) Too bad I can't vote for them from across the pond! We can't even view your SCD show (except in good old KZbin!)

[@douglasholt8353]

your text it is to long

[@legaleagle46]

I don't know -- I think a more apt comparison is the one Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke did in I think about 2008.

[@DianeBanks1]

derek and nicole were stunning!! wish i could vote for strictly too, lol ;)

[@aaronwilkins4459]

well we can't watch DWTS either but i know how amazing the Nicole AT was. I can't agree with you on this one though. She was shaky a couple times, i think it lacked intensity and power i places too. She didn't get that whip with the leg action you need to see in an AT from the female since her leg was so rigid and she kept looking at her feet and not at Kevin in turns/spins. It was worth 9s in my opinion but definitely not 39/40

[@marksaunders7920]

Aaron Wilkins Couldn't disagree more!

[@scdobserver835]

Nice ronde in the beginning. The lamp-post is back! Whay-hey! Joking aside, it was a very accomplished performance. For once, I feel Louise has thrown her inhibitions out of the window and just allow herself to become sultry, sharp and sexy, hitting all the accents with the music when she danced this AT. The only criticism is that I would like them to keep the steps smaller and more compact, but that's just personal preference (AT is originally danced in a confined space, don't need to cover the floor as such). Lifts are creative and nicely executed. 9.5! (Edit to correct: I did not see the first ronde Louise made at the lamp post, but I was referring to the one she did when she was with Kevin in the beginning...)

[@douglasholt8353]

your text it is to long

[@ewanmessenger6586]

douglas holt your spelling is too bad

[@legaleagle46]

Did you ever see the Argentine Tango danced by Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke on DWTS back in 2008 (I think)? I would put this one by Kevin and Louise right up with that iconic dance any day!

[@scdobserver835]

Lee Cox Giles Marini and Cheryl Burke in 2008? Hmm, will I dare to watch another DWTS clip? I have been stung previously with bitter disappointment when recommended by others about other couples in the past thus far... **goes to search for the clip** Edit: watched it, it was the time when the dances in DWTS was 90 seconds long (and not cheating with 60 seconds now). Not bad at all! I am impressed for a male celeb!

[@MegaClarky123]

The ronde at the beginning got stuck halfway through!

[@scattygirl1]

That final drop alone made the dance worthwhile. I can imagine it went wrong far more often than it went right in training; get it badly wrong and you'll snap a shin bone. I normally find these two good but forgettable, but this was their most memorable dance for me.

[@littlemisssunshine874]

Well done Louise!!

[@12345678910111213955]

it was bloody brilliant, louise you are an incredible dancer honestly

[@avilst1765]

Definitely one of her more passionate dances. Being the first AT of the series is never easy but I felt she did it justice. Could have seen more power and firmness throughout, since it's still a tad loose in places. Would give it an 9, though am still on the fence between 8 and a 9.

[@dylanparryowen]

This was really great. I still think whenever she's by herself, aka at the start of this dance, she doesn't seem to have the confidence she has when she's with Kevin. But probably best dance of the season so far.

[@BB_arbie]

This dance really suited Louise, she was on point. Excellent footwork, intense and very sexy. She's getting better and better. One to watch me thinks.

[@taliakinney5698]

You're a true fan. I agree with everything you said with the exception of sexy. Louise is a good dancer, but not a good entertainer.

[@BB_arbie]

Talia Kinney yes I am a true fan. Louise is very much a true performer. Look back at her solo career on here, you will see some great performances from her.

[@taliakinney5698]

I am judging her based on what she has given us on this show. This was the first time she did not completely bore me, so I'm thankful for that. The choreography was fantastic here.

[@BB_arbie]

Talia Kinney your judgement is spot on I agree. I liked her last week though. It was a major turning point for her. Let's face it, she needed to do something other than 'safe' or she was going to risk leaving the show.

[@douglasholt8353]

[@denniskwok7613]

You've got to be one insecure husband to be angry seeing your wife produce something so amazing. So what, it's another guy she's dancing with. Deal with it. When people socially dance, they dance with everyone.

[@hviezdickablyskava637]

Finally Kev has got partner worth to win SCW! Brilliant!

[@queenc8034]

hviezdicka blyskava they aren't going to win Danny Mac is like DUH

[@hviezdickablyskava637]

Hmm. Luise and Kev are the best so far. Mind you, there is No one other sticking out right now.

[@taliakinney5698]

Louise, ever the good technician. This was her best dance, but I just feel nothing from her performances. A very precise, heat-less Argentine Tango.

[@annec42]

Talia Kinney absolutely agree with you. No doubt about it, this was a fantastic dance. But I just wish I felt some chemistry between her and Kevin and that she'd show it.

[@indiantinamorals5791]

Wow again!

[@thewitch69]

omg i still cant work how they landed in the last bit lol

[@minni3723]

Yesss louise

[@Mania28]

Why do the BBC (and ITV) always cut out the judges comments!. STOP DOING IT. We want to watch the act and then the critique, otherwise what's the point? It's the whole premise of the show. BBC. Pull your finger out and show the complete clips.

[@aerialkate]

I agree it's a bit weird. I wonder what their motive is? Perhaps they want to encourage people to watch the actual show on TV, in its entirity. Linda Kent is posting the dances with the judges comments.

[@MegaClarky123]

I dance the AT socially so I know a little bit about it. Watching it on Strictly always makes me realise how little I know about the other dances, because how the AT is danced on Strictly is not what would pass for an AT usually (even a stage AT, which are usually more flamboyant and heavily choreographed). Louise's timing was great and the lifts were great and the ending was great, but in general I didn't think her legs were good at all and there was not nearly enough connection with the floor, or fluidity. (That first ronde de jamb got stuck halfway through right at the very beginning.) The backward ochos were straight up bad - she lifted her free leg off the floor much too soon and there was no disassociation of the upper body. The lunge, turn, lunge was good and it was good to see her embrace her sexiness though.

[@sarabowen8634]

It's very disappointing that you never get to see the Judges comments on any if these clips :(

Jamie's upset.

[@jonsmith4669]

Worth 40, Sour face Craig always has to spoil the show, he thinks hes so wonderful, who's he kidding? I wish he would go back to Pluto and stay there.. Best dance of the season ,visually stunning A.T. from Louise and Kevin,he reminds me of the Great Fred Astair,both in his style and looks,a reincarnation? his choreography is always excellent and he's humble with it . Joanne Clifton is equality gifted. The judges comments should be shown, at least on marks over 35,it adds to the entertainment,especially when Bruno gets going.......see the full thing on BBC iPLAYER.

[@thespb0141]

I agree that it was excellent, but there was a small slip at 0:40, which is most likely why it gained a nine from Craig.

[@padfootfan123]

I feel that to get 40, the dance needs to be a little more technically challenging. While good, it wasn't that good. There have been other dances that have followed this one that were better, but not marked as high. And those dances were marked fairly, meaning this one was overmarked.

[@ricardovelasco3976]

She is so good looking

[@julianaubrey8278]

How does Craig warrant this a 9?? His Scoring is ridiculous... never mind len retiring at the end of the season I think Craig should as well.

[@queenc8034]

Julian Aubrey have you never watched Strictly before Craig doesn't use his 10 paddle at until Blackpool and he also just happens to be a famous dancer and a judge on strictly for years and knows what he is talking about which is more than I can say for you.

The only thing wrong with this is the shitty camera angles, I couldn't see half the beautiful lines they made fml

[@justafailwhale]

There were so many moments in this dance where she made little mistakes, they were no big deal but often enough that I don't see why she got a 10. Ore's jive and this dance were so overmarked - but I feel like Louise has been overmarked throughout the whole series.

[@janmaciejewski6129]

Can you put what times the mistakes where because I haven't managed to find any? Which frustrates me as I don't like Louise.

[@justafailwhale]

0:05 0:40 the leg wasn't fluid 1:02 she stumbles/shakes 1:18 I thought the leg she put on the table looked out of place and weird when she came back down. Just to name a few anyway.
