Louise Redknapp & Kevin Clifton Paso Doble to ‘Explosive’ by Bond - Strictly 2016: Blackpool

[@gillianatkinson6858]

7 years later and I'm still watching this fabulous routine..... Best Strictly dance EVER! I so miss Kevin on the show. No one has ever matched this Paso Doble. ❤

[@catdavies89]

huge round of applause for makeup, hair and wardrobe in this dance!

[@DianeBanks1]

I love everything about this dance including staging + costumes!! Louise is really learning to bring the drama too, yay!! ;)

[@BB_arbie]

Louise is a natural performer, it's so great to see her growing in confidence and giving consistently quality performances, tonight's routine was the best in what was a disappointing show overall. She is definitely one to watch.

[@claresharrard1228]

I honestly believe this is the best dance strictly has ever ever seen. And I'm a huge super fan!! Simply incredible x X

[@janmaciejewski6129]

Loved this dance - I'm not a huge fan of Louise but these last two weeks have been amazing! The performance, the technique, everything was there! Yes, she did smile, but I would argue that it just made the performance better - the goddess of the land smiling down at her lover in a sly sense of discrimination. Amazing! Best of the night, an easy 10.

[@munhl]

I love Louise's dress and hair.

[@EmmaGriffiths]

blooming love a Kevin Clifton paso, incredible!

[@wrengard]

Ooooh Kevin does a quality paso!

[@reddragonready]

For my money..best dance of the night and should have had 10s all around.

[@graceforshaw2338]

Thank you someone who agrees love Kevin 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

[@scdobserver835]

Very camp and dramatic, Kevin's kind of Paso, and I like it! LOL Beautiful Apels, strong clean Spanish lines. Wonderful! 9!!!

[@RM-rc1tf]

Scd Observer Finally! Someone else knows how good this is. Too many people complaining (I think just because it's Louise) but either way this was amazing to watch! Very fluid in her arms!

[@josh2193]

I think this music would be perfect for Argentine tango

[@miapendragon5931]

I wasn't Louise's biggest fan on Strictly, but I did love this dance!

[@laurawilliamson2830]

Fantastic choreo and music. Kevin always did a great Paso. Louise was good but I'd love to see Kevin dance this with a professional who had strength,aggression and power.

[@KHeartsdiva54321]

Sooo nearly perfect for me but brilliant all the same! (Facial expressions, she looked like she was going to laugh at some points there could have been more variety than gritted teeth) but apart from that so so well done :)

[@caterinadelgalles8783]

Gritted teeth!

[@catrionacolville2192]

I don't she can help the expressions. Looks like a mild dose of Bell's Palsy to me.

[@RM-rc1tf]

Every bit as good as Danny's. Technique wise this was amazing. Best dance of the night for me. Attack, precision, shaping. She is proving to be a real contender. 9.5! - Because I'm not a fan of the backing dancers or music.

[@eveisnotaneevee]

R M Yes she did really well! I dont think they should have gave her 8s

[@RM-rc1tf]

iluvsoulmusic I was talking about technique! The performance could've been better without the poor music and backing dancers I've got to admit.

[@RM-rc1tf]

Her lines and footwork were very clean. Not much more could've been better. Although some people do prefer a traditional paso rather than this more passive aggressive type.

[@aaronwilkins4459]

why do u people say such ridiculous things as 9.5? it is judged on SCD in whole numbers. If you wouldn't give it a round 10, its got to be a 9

[@rebeccadumaurier8003]

Not as good as Danny's by a mile. She is good but not as confident, and clearly doesn't feel natural being aggressive. However her improvement is really impressive, she performs the dance so much better bow

[@Pdjohnners]

amazing. just amazing. easily my favourite dance of the night, series.

[@debbieblackman3650]

Danny and Oti are marvellous but this was the best dance of the night. Should have had 40. Love Kevin's Paso's

[@bethany61000]

I love Kevin Clifton he is so talented

[@autumnde-morette8883]

She was so cute smiling near the end

[@GOSMGR1]

Lots of drama and passion.Louise is on a roll at the moment.

[@itslillyvlogs271]

This is my favourite couple so far. They are so cute together as well. Louise deserves to win

[@lydiaharper9137]

This has been my favourite dance so far

[@maxsouthy]

Excited to go to Chessington

[@indiantinamorals5791]

Great

[@douglasholt8353]

Blackpool it is a great tower I have been there it is so big this dance is so amazing

[@louiseodonoghue7816]

i loved this GOT paso doble by louise and kevin

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

0:18 Where have I heard those notes before????? It's driving me mad, trying to remember!!!

[@Ranlou]

STEJTHEGREATEST xmen

[@aimeec0148]

Under marked!!! This deserved a 40 all the way

[@jkg2088]

Although, she may have great technique; she lacked any aggression for the paso for me.

[@SJD207]

Me too.

[@scdobserver835]

Lacks aggression? LOL

[@aerialkate]

I agree, I usually like Kevin's choreography but for me all the Pasos have been a bit lacklustre this year in general.

[@Liofa73]

Not as technical but more enjoyable and distinct than Danny's dance.

[@crloscee]

Is that supposed to be her "intense paso doble" face or was that just her nervous face? cause that just threw me off completely the whole dance 😯

[@austin7894]

To me the nervous expression is what makes this so amazing, she almost doesn't believe she can do it, but she does, and it's fab-you-lusss!

[@catrionacolville2192]

Really rude comment. Also, her facial expression throwing you off the whole dance is very odd. She also has issues with her facial muscles.

[@simphiwe.dyantyi]

beautiful Paso... guys can someone help me with the name of the song

[@hollyfleet]

It's called Explosive and it's a Bond song.

[@callumsannachan7135]

8 paso crazy

[@amirahussein6027]

I agree with Lydia

[@JS-zf5sy]

I thought the dance was good but it did NOT deserve 40. She smiled in parts of it and aggression was poor. If anything, it should have been the Charleston that deserved a 40 because that one was absolutely amazing :)

[@AFurryPanda]

At least she is trying and giving it a go! Plus the judges know so much about dance so they wouldn’t of given it a 40 if it didn’t deserve it, especially Craig since he is honest about his scoring!

[@emilychiswell3346]

This was ridiculously under marked, I adore danny and oti but this was dance of the night for me!!!

[@szymon041291]

They deserved 40! The music was quite not right for paso at times but they did a great job.

[@Iamtsholo_]

She looked like a queen

[@katiekay6317]

My favourite dance of the night, I thought it was stunning. I expected a 40 following the judges comments, for me it was every bit as good as Danny's.

[@racp3476]

why do i know this song?? it is driving me crazy, please somebody -HELP!!

[@meganrobinson9867]

Rac P it's the theme tune to the Xmen animated series if that means anything to you

[@johnaburn1]

Definitely deserved 3 10s at least. But what a great dance in a great place!!!

[@shadowmarvel0737]

Best dance of the night don't get how ore scored higher than this? Nothing against him but I mean cmon!

[@chriscooper4658]

Lydia Oswald Winchester he didn't both got 38

[@margerettocock474]

Chris Cooper

[@aaronwilkins4459]

i think Louise and Ore equally were the best of the night. i think what u mean is how did Danny get 40 for a Charleston that was far from perfect

[@shadowmarvel0737]

Aaron Wilkins no I meant how did ore get a high score with 10s

[@shadowmarvel0737]

Chris Cooper oh right just saying though I though she was undermarked

[@lollydolly4590]

9, 9, 10, 10

[@MarieJoan20]

Kein hawe always good dancers. He must this season win!

[@RoseTylerxx]

Dance of the night!

[@queenc8034]

Rose Glover NO Danny's was, like DUH, he got a long overdue and well deserved 40

[@RoseTylerxx]

Queen C Well, matter of opinion. I'm not a big fan of Danny but have loved every dance Louise has done! This is actually worth a 40 but it's Kevin-he's often undermarked!

[@Ladybird22373]

Kevin was easy the best celeb dancer

[@queenc8034]

it seems a bit frantic and worried

[@Embarazzing]

They didn't undermark her for smiling but they did for Claudia?

[@nailahcarr700]

I agree that she was technically good but her expressions really did throw me off the dance, she just needed to look more aggressive

[@annarose932]

Is this dance suppose to be based on a theme?

[@michaelr289]

Scores Me 9 Abby 8 Kevin 9 Matt 10 36/40

[@meganrobinson9867]

I've just worked out why I know that song

[@cerrielang3358]

and your answer is?

[@meganrobinson9867]

It's the Theme tune to the Xmen animated series

[@JS-zf5sy]

stop trolling people

[@rachelbusby670]

I like that this Paso didn't have the cliches of red dresses and Spanish guitars

[@facetwit99]

THIS ISN'T GAME OF THRONES NOTHING ABOUT IT SAYS GAME OF THRONES

[@anthonylabrum4095]

loved it. she is my second fave. danny is my no 1 tho lol. cant stand ore he deffo thinks he amazing but just dont do it for me. i want him to go next

[@ktthe90sgirl88]

I'm not a fan of the paso as it's quite an aggressive dance but, I have to say this was pretty good x

[@interests1094]

Has anyone won strictly when they didn't have the most points??

[@nugal9320]

So bad 🙄 anyone who says this is on par with Danny Mac's 🤦🏽‍♀️ I have no words for that. Awkward, clunky, and I know Paso's are meant to be kind of a love/hate passionate dance but honestly the bit where her and Kevin actually danced together just looked like a really naff tussle. Like he was trying to throw a someone who'd had one too many out of his pub. And also, facial expression wise- unconvincing to say the least. I like Louise I think she's nice and she was an alright dancer, maybe in less good years she'd have won but she's just ok.

[@chriscooper4658]

# it want to see them in the game of thrones spin off that HBO is planing

[@lstamfordis6710]

Oh My God Kevin is so hot. This was good. I don't normally like Louise but she did well here

[@bradlee6373]

She thinks she's good doesn't she ! Lmao

[@AFurryPanda]

Because she is!

[@JessW9696]

Weird music, sounded a bit like Irish dance music in parts. Loved the dance though

[@rosalindesko6741]

I just cannot warm to Louise. She has zero personality and never looks comfortable. Unlike the others she is also only ever any good when in hold. I don't know, but I just cannot like her. Ore and Danny are better.

[@angelsheart85]

I honestly dont understand why people just choose passo doble when it comes to Bond's Explosive.... i think some other dances would be actully more appropriate like exactly Tango for example

[@iamracheleparker]

sorry Pixie and Trent, you've just been overtaken as my favourite ever strictly Paso
