The mini pro-dancers stole the show on this one. The smiles on all their faces showed how much both the kids and adults enjoyed dancing it.

[@elainewilkinson6852]

Sam is amazing and can sing any song brilliantly. Best performance this year on strictly.

[@sonyafeeney9190]

This is such a multi faceted performance. His performance, singing and playing, just stellar

The children were amazing xxx

One of the best performances on strictly come dancing in history!!!🙌🙌🙌 So emotional❤️❤️❤️

[@carolhagerty4288]

I like Sam. I think he’s very talented, but to say it’s the best performance in Strickly “history” is a bit of an overstatement

[@cstiles1579]

They are obviously talking about the dance with the children not just Sam or were you not watching?

[@dajtoad1]

@@cstiles1579 It's not the best dance either. It's not even the best this year. The choreography (apart from having the kids there, which was nice) was extremely boring.

[@trapper561]

Blown away by this , Sam you are a beautiful human being ❤️

[@jansimms417]

Wow , what a brilliant performance, at last Strictly has developed some guts, not just tame pretty butterflies but a solid and heart felt performance.This will be a KZbin classic Sam really lifts the whole presentation, what a Star.

[@Dazer1972]

Best performance this series so far

[@elliottandrews3027]

As an Aussie, I am so glad this classic is getting some international attention. John Farnham has a powerful voice and Sam does not disappoint with this It would be a great one to release for Ukraine as the lyrics are very powerful. I never realised the message of the song until I saw an American reacting to it. Its just always been in the background for all of my life

[@matthewdonovan1240]

I've loved this song ever since I first heard it back in the 80s. You're right, John Farman has an incredible voice and Sam does a fantastic job here.

[@mikechase7448]

Sam Ryder - wow, The Voice - what a brilliant version, he must record it. We would love to see this guy perform in concert

[@matthewdonovan1240]

I hope he does record this. I hope it's on the album. Sam has an incredible voice and this is an awesome version of one of my all time favourite songs.

[@jamesblythe9168]

Aw he is so bloody good😍 incredible voice

Sam, you're The voice. An amazing voice. I predicted your win this year.(The kiddies are adorable.)

Absolutely brilliant

[@heatherquigley4363]

[@carolyates6366]

Absolutely loved the dancing.All the professional dancers were amazing and the young boy and young girl. I wonder if the young boy and the young girl goes to Amy Dowden dance school as she as one and her husband Ben as one too. Also Sam Ryder was brilliant at singing this song. I like ved the whole show tonight in the Blackpool Tower. It was by far the best result show I have seen since the last one back in 2019. I love Amy Dowden one of my favourite dancer out of the professional dancers. I am going to watch Strictly come dancing live tour in Manchester arena in January. I hope I can have my photo taken with Amy Dowden as she is the Ambassador for Crohn's sufferers and she as Crohn's as well. I also have Crohn's and it is hard living with this type of illness. I can be in Constant pain every day and the fatigue is so bad.Amy Dowden is a true Inspiration to everyone who is living with Crohn's and colitis in the UK. Thankyou Amy Dowden and all the other Strictly come dancing Professional dancers dancers as well. Thankyou my all. See you on Monday the to 28th of January at the Manchester arena. So much looking forward to see Amy Dowden and all the others as well. Good luck Amy Dowden for the rest of the Country. 💜💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺🎹🎧🎤🎷⭐💝💝.xxxx

[@TinaTissue28]

@@pennymunt112 Its not until you hear the lyrics that you realise how powerful and deep they really are. Its a classic hear in Australia and you just kinda hear it in the background all your life and never sit down and question the lyrics

[@pennymunt112]

@@TinaTissue28 I have heard it since I was a lot younger but like you said it is not until you sit down and listen to it properly then you understand how powerful it is. I know celine Dion uses it as her warm up song so she has been singing for years but it wasn’t until I saw her sing it with John on stage how powerful it was but it has become so much more relevant now unfortunately..

Brilliant . I wonder why the BBC can't let us enjoy the moment of the performance , of singer and dancers without the interruption of clapping which for me destroys the flow.

[@dollysdaysout3344]

I never watch Strictly I think it's really annoying that it's all noise and too much talking and not enough dancing (well that's my opinion) I really enjoyed watching this though! And although this is a very good song, the words are very repetitive (I looked up the lyrics 🙂)

[@jess6064]

It’s a classic well loved song at this point so I’m not sure people are concerned about that.

[@dajtoad1]

Great song, really boring choreography. Just the men twirling the girls around.

[@kevinjuden9568]

Now that is how you take a classic song and totally mess it up.

[@cstiles1579]

They changed the arrangement on purpose 👍🏼

[@BonnyT]

I hope Dianne and Craig are OK after hearing our Aussie anthem butchered 😖🙉 Sam's voice is so nasal and lacks power, and along with the accompanying dance, this entire performance lacked true depth and soul. Nothing compares to the original - John Farnham's You're The Voice music video and him singing it live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

[@mariewallis9490]

It’s always someone without talent who likes to criticise everyone else behind their keyboard.

[@BonnyT]

@@mariewallis9490 I never claimed to have talent myself and just because one isn't a star doesn't make them unentitled to be an audience member and give reviews. I'm the first person to admit that I can't sing to save myself (but I can hear and be moved to tears/joy by music). I was also a very good ballroom and Latin dancer in my younger days. I can confidently say that the dance (although technically good) didn't connect emotionally with the song. You're The Voice is a soul-stirring song about social justice and requires a powerful voice and dance with earth, grit and fight - not a nasal voice or polite and dainty movement.

[@elliottandrews3027]

@@BonnyT I say as an Australian he is a more than capable vocalist. That was the arrangement because it’s not a one-man concert. The melody and instrumental builds Sam uses softer head voice for the first “how long” (which John Farnham doesn’t), chest for the second then head for the last. It’s all matched by the backing singers. The Strictly interpretations of songs is different because there is a ballroom dance (whether you liked that or not is different).

[@BonnyT]

@@elliottandrews3027As a fellow Australian, I stand by my opinion that this performance (whilst not technically lacking) was disconnected from the song's meaning and feeling. To me it seemed like Stepford Wives-like dancers were trying to perform angelic wholesome with no understanding that this song is about trauma and overcoming by standing up against injustice. It was just the wrong dance, costumes, staging, and singer for this particularly deep song.

[@Veeanna0103]

Oh shut up bonny

[@julieclegg5262]

Personally I am not a fan of Sam Ryder, he has a horrible voice,I would just like to see the dancers,
