The Judges have us HOOKED with this incredible dance to When Doves Cry ✨ BBC Strictly 2024

[@joannedelaney3866]

I love seeing all of the judges dancing, but Anton and Shirley dance so beautifully together ❤

[@callumbarrington898]

The judges should be doing this every week. Seeing Anton and Shirley on the dance floor is very special.

[@Unknown-h7q7h]

1000%

[@zxaddictxz]

Agree. Anton is the Ballroom king, and Shirley can turn any dance into magic.

[@Unknown-h7q7h]

Absolutely loved it the arrangement from Dave Arch and the band/singers bloody incredible I don't think they get enough credit and the judges need to be doing this every week what a TREAT this was more please thanks in advance!!! 💃🏻

[@danielfennessey]

I agree. I, too, think, Dave and the band get nowhere NEAR the credit they deserve.

[@Unknown-h7q7h]

@@danielfennessey I think they've been outstanding so far

[@Seahawk213]

This is probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. And I don’t think I can even begin to describe how much I loved the music❤️❤️

[@heartofartichoke4340]

Yes, that musical arrangement was superb!

[@chalkiememe4183]

Wow Anton and Shirley looked amazing totally first class. To be honest you can see how the dancers in the show have all become elite in their field with so many training hours, shows and choreography challenges. All absolutely fabulous darling!

[@anitafrench2079]

This should be a weekly thing I love it

[@LisaFerguson-lw8il]

@anitafrench2079 Do you have any idea how much work went into that performance? The show is about creating great dancers from non-dancers. It is not about showcasing judges etc.

[@anitafrench2079]

@@LisaFerguson-lw8il i know this to well I'm an ex ball rioma d Latin dancer and teacher just wondering bought it would be a change that's all

[@staygoldponyboy8881]

Anton and Shirley giving us the Beauty and the Beast/101 Dalmatians cross over we all needed so badly. Seriously though the music was amazing especially that take on Blue Monday.

[@fiona5yc.cbainbridge907]

That dance was truly amazing. One of the best I think I've seen them do in the entire 20 years this show has been running. Loved it.

[@Battlady57]

This was wonderful.i enjoyed it so much.. Such.professionalism.brilliant.

[@AaronWilkins-w8e]

Ummm....good for drama and visuals. But the dance content was no way near amongst the best group dances...I can only assume people like you say this haven't been watching many years.

[@themancunian777]

The Judges doing their thing with the professionals - catchy tune aswell 😊👍

[@collettefarran6190]

It was a prince song sung very well by Strictly singers👍🏼🤩👏 brilliant dancing by the Judges

[@themancunian777]

@@collettefarran6190 Enjoying this series Collette 👍

[@drwoo6090]

Are the judges not professional?

[@SamBroughton-n6l]

One of the best group dances ever! Brilliant to see the judges involved and doing what they love, I bet Anton misses this so I was thrilled for him 👏🏻

[@AaronWilkins-w8e]

Lol ummm. Are you joking??? The contents the judges had to dance here was pathetic.

[@AlM22]

Loved seeing Anton & Shirley dance!

[@danielfennessey]

More performances featuring the judges, if possible, pretty, pretty please - This was ace.

[@paigemitchell-snudden711]

Obsessed with Craig's look 😍😍😍😍

[@lucaspippet7155]

Wow wow wow, I was absolutely mesmerized by this dance!!! Left me with chills and Craig is too iconic!!

[@LittleLances]

That version of When doves cry is incredible

[@elainewallace-e1o]

Aren't we lucky...This wonderful performance while we sit and watch in our own living room. Better than any show in the West end all put together in less than a week.Thank you Strictly... judges and pro dancers showing us just how it's done.

[@rebeccahooper7968]

The pros dancing omg the timing made that dance

[@kaylaireland3494]

Motsi is Everything 💙

[@Rusty84CV]

Craigs dancing makes the celebrities look like professional

[@taliakinney5698]

He brings the drama to it all. I love him!

[@mellybeetaylor8177]

The judges should dance every week! You can tell that they enjoy it!! This is so good!!

[@LuciousDeMorte]

Anton and Shirley are magnificient

[@sainsworth530]

from 2:30 can anyone hear Blue Monday by new order?

[@abipoyser1579]

Everyone giving Craig grief when the man's pushing 60 and had a double hip replacement. Lay off the poor bloke, at least he tried!

[@debrahouston1374]

Absolutely loved this!!! Perfect!!!

[@lizwhitehead3266]

Brilliant group dance.

[@HelenSwims]

Just Wow.

[@hayleycoffey-it1ml]

And just how ?? !!

Love seeing Shirley dance ,,, They always put on a great show

[@nadinevail83]

Absolutely marvellous 4 great performers in their own right

[@Lorraine-t9c]

Fantastic choreography

[@alandavis5950]

One of the best group dances EVER! Didn't anton scrub up well!

[@elainewallace-e1o]

Strictly never disappoints....This was another fantastic pro dance.Loved it from start to finish.. Bravo.

[@tebogomphahlele25]

Need this song

[@daisystarre2141]

Found it on spotify in a strictly come dancing playlist. Its a mix between - midnight string Quartet -when doves cry - the Sarm Orchestra - blue monday

[@ScottRandolph-dd7dr]

🎉 Impressive performance 👏 watching all the way across the pond in Biloxi Mississippi ❤

[@CarolynFay-m4g]

So wonderful, mesmerising, truly brilliant ❤❤

[@jerushadaniels3115]

Outstanding Performance ❤

[@ribena607]

Motsi and Shirley were great, Anton and Craig were a tad comedic. On another note, I really missed the "Here's what happened on Saturday night" recap that they usually do at the start of the show.. I don't wanna hear just the judges talking about it, I like seeing the little behind the scenes snippets.

[@fairlyvague82]

I can’t understand why the judges aren’t on the dance floor every week. They should be made to do it! 🪩 💃🏻 🕺🏻

[@lizhart5703]

They haven't got the energy of the other pros now!

[@kaylaireland3494]

You are truly horrible. NO ONE should ever be ‘Made’ to do anything

[@LisaFerguson-lw8il]

That would take the joy out of their performances. They are paid to judge, not dance. Just remember that it takes a lot of energy to dance and some judges are aging.

[@sammccarthy957]

This was fantastic!!! X

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

How could you just leave me standing, Alone in a world that's so cold? Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

[@sandragriffiths9692]

Fabulous!

[@ivy.vlogs_x]

I just cried bro, this was beautiful

[@anthonymorris5356]

When they get these things right, boy do they get it right!

[@natalieinger2309]

Best dance of the night ❤❤

[@connorferris3755]

Finally a good partner for Anton 😂

[@tracieb4085]

Wow im just watching the week 2 results amazing seeing the judges as well

[@traceybradbury5022]

❤❤❤

[@emmybm15]

I really want Anton's jacket ❤

[@JoyA.-yg4gc]

Great group dance I notice that the choreography is going back to the more traditional type of dance

[@Char-sf4cg]

Make this a weekly thing

[@defiantlypinki1107]

Yes ❤❤❤

[@alexanderpaton5826]

Anyone know the version of When Doves Cry they use here? I’ve heard it somewhere before…

[@Unknown-h7q7h]

I'd like it to if you find it 🙏🏻

[@mellymelbabeth]

I believe it’s the version from Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6eydKyLl96DiZosi=Luy2reBYuwHz5lwS

[@daisystarre2141]

Found it on spotify in a strictly come dancing playlist. Its a mix between - midnight string Quartet -when doves cry - the Sarm Orchestra - blue monday

Great.i loved it

[@Jtx2024]

Who is in the top left next to Nikita at 3:41?

[@trish77100]

Touch of Bridgerton!❤

[@Jtx2024]

Happy seeing that Craig just sat down considering he can't dance ballroom.

[@CliveMaybury]

A M AZING!

[@suelund4667]

Craig is very flat footed & his only thing is his spinning. Given the grief he gives others, he’d do better to stay seated 🤪

[@KatMusic2009]

Having seen a show he choreographed years ago, I don't particularly rate him anyway!!

[@GAYHYUNGISTRASH371]

Craig is a heavy lift 😅

[@jmm4259]

😂😂😂 Yup

[@zizuette]

Just goes to show how strong the male dancers are, even though they’re all slim, they’ve all got serious muscle power. 😂

[@danielfennessey]

And might I add: Craig was born to play a villian

[@GordonHugenay]

Love how the pros do all the hard work and the judges are just the cover. As if this performance is below them.

[@willowtree4121]

Great show dance. When Doves fly, makes me think of when Aliona and Jay danced to it, best strictly pairing ever.

[@jo-annetoua2095]

That was GHORJUSS Dahling !!

[@NeliswaBeja-z1n]

I wish they can let the judges judge and dancers dance.

[@KatMusic2009]

The judges are or were dancers!!

[@micheletudor2226]

fab dance, not sure what the theme of the dance was about?

[@rainpuppy14]

House of drangons

[@maryheathcote-m4n]

Craig's posture and balance were crap and he has the gall to criticise everyone else

[@margaretfee639]

Metal joint replacements are not the greatest for balance or fluidity.

[@dneiunhu]

WHAT DID I MISS-

[@rebeccahooper7968]

Nothing

[@stuartmainwaring9570]

Sorry. I just didnt get what it all meant.

[@campbell9091]

Do they get paid extra to dance?

[@DrNefario_5]

It’s in their contract if they are going to perform so yes

[@ho6327]

I spot two dancers, one male and one female who I don't recognise

[@kmr1157]

Craig is pure panto. He's great but this style doesn't suit him. He looked clunky and awkward.

[@peterrush5567]

Craig get your 4 paddle out and give it to yourself at least the other judges are qualified to comment on dancing

[@AaronWilkins-w8e]

Very underwhelming.

[@Izzymoggington]

I’m sorry Craig, but you looked plain daft.

[@647JC]

I wish they'll stop with the pointless strictly theme at the start and end of each YT videos!

[@FOTUNA100]

Although I do love this routine, it doesn’t fit the lyrics. I’ve seen better over the years.

[@rebeccahooper7968]

Craig cannot dance its melodramtic

[@SamanthaMclaughlin-uf2hq]

He’s had hip surgery for osteoarthritis

[@blacksusan108]

truely horrendous version of a prince classic

[@mediaprof6328]

disappointing choreography

[@rebeccahooper7968]

It threw me off..bbc has gone into evil worship dressed in black

[@rebeccahooper7968]

Morbid

[@alanagallacher9144]

Only judge that can an dance is Motsi

[@phillipfairbrass3575]

Anton

[@rachelh9985]

She is the youngest. Shirley was amazing amazing in her competing days.

[@JanetMcquillan-q9g]

Shockingly bad, confused, over dramatic and a woeful version of when doves cry. No wonder viewing figures are down.

[@Jchathe]

It all looks disturbingly satanic to me.

[@ljn369]

Cry about it

[@Jchathe]

@@ljn369 I’ll pray for your soul instead.

[@phillipfairbrass3575]

Craig is crap

[@mel24681]

Why is Craig dressed in a Halloween costume? Can't he carry off normal drama now? Does it have to be comedy pantomime? I would like to see Craig do a Argentine Tango or Paso, if he's still got the knees? Shirley and Anto do a Tango? And how on earth did Tom get kicked off😮? Were there a million sentimental footballers/fans voting for Paul? Tom was twice as good as Paul. Even Paul knew it. 😅 Poor Nadya and Tom. The voting is getting so wierd. Seems very strategic rather than pure public voting? Come on Craig, give us a steaming serious Argie Tango?❤

[@meredithgrace4337]

Liked the Pros group dance very Gothic period drama peace loved the house of dragon inspiration with the royal Gold and purple, but for goodness sake please keep the Judges away from dancing with the group dance, they have got way more attention this series than they need, their arguing with each other over different celebs and Pros dancers and now letting them in on the group dance NO, apart from Anton, the Judgers are really cheesing me off, they are making the show more about themselves and not about the celeb pro dance pairings (who are the ones who matter), their scores are all over the place, their digs at the different pairings are more directed at each-other in a hash way and their choice in who to save in the show Way Off, strip the Judgers air time back please, they make me mute my TV and make me feel awkward to watch the show, but the dance was beautiful and love the pros work amazing.

[@dajtoad1]

It's always been like that. Don't know why you're suddenly so surprised.
