Alesha Dances the Cha Cha - Strictly Come Dancing - BBC One

[erinxyes]

This is why I stopped watching Strictly. After Alesha + Matt I figured no-one could top them.

[carbonbiped]

Alesha is just so hot !

[jonanice]

WTF y's this in my history!!!

[TheAleshaFan]

amazing i remember watching this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lubilou64]

Have to say that in my humble opinion this is THE BEST dance on Strictly EVER! Should've been a 40 :0)

[Auraeko]

I miss Matthew Cutler!!!

[beyoncefan2706]

alesha is amazing, ...the band not so!

[calvin999999999]

i remember watching this, it was amazing.

[dukesquidlian]

If you didn't know either of them, you wouldn't be able to tell who is the professional :L

[phalyack40]

The best dance, the best couple, the best song!!!!!!

[xxDJEJxx]

my fave evr dance on strictly x

[DOLAN71]

How they did not end up a a couple is beyond me. Such chemistrry

[iluvashsimpson1]

the best dancer ever on scd

[iluvashsimpson1]

best cha cha cha ever on scd

[imagin77]

this should have got full marks.....lisa snowdons did and her cha cha cha was nowhere near as brilliant as aleshas...

[lucyluuuxxxx]

@imagin77 totally agree

[tietajajoshua]

she moves one leg and moves it back, cos she can't move both at the same time. bad 40+ office party dancing.

[Ravenclaw160]

Alesha is the best female celebrity dancer ever!

[12lexie12]

GOD i hate arlene phillips i want to claw at her face!

[jonnyosbourne]

Im gonna miss strictly. Alesha is fantastic as a dancer and a judge. shes 'my favorite'.

[kathHenderson]

god that choreography... matthew, you're awesome.

[hOpEcHiLd7]

i love her! i love them both! It's Diva Time!!!!

[SamMitchell90]

I want Arlene AND Alesha on the panel! If they can fit Darcey Bussel on there and have 5, they can have Arlene!!

[kelikel2]

@SamMitchell90 : Well said re ;Arlene and Alesha!

[TheRakesh1961]

arlene was a far better judge than alesha dixon.

[Crawleybird1000]

@TheRakesh1961

And Alesha is a better judge than Darcey. I know Darcey is a pro but i have been finding her really boring

[seabi]

Bruno is so funny, he can hardly contain himself

[hOpEcHiLd7]

what is craig doing at 0:41- 0:44? lol! xD

[kelikel2]

Craig is head nodding..he's feeling the muzik!

[miseymoo]

I love strictly so much I wish It hadnt changed so much though.I miss arlene!!

[ChippyMinton40]

I love Bruno! He's so funny and insane!

[theanglez86]

bruno is so funny

[dinkaDPB]

tess daley really annoys me. the show would be less cring worthy if they had a more mature relaxed presenter who didn't look do edgy next to forsyth and one that can relate to people normally without talking to them in the 3rd person

[LemonPencilGirl]

I like Tess :) I think she's really good with the celebs.

[bluesky88man]

Europe Beyonce. fab. viagra

[rexana]

I always remember this one because of Bruno's "IT'S DIVA TIME!!!" xDD

And stupid Craig. I don't think he ever gave Alesha a 10. -_-

[gracie302253]

len's face when hes doing it tho

[danhall789]

this is SO GOOD

[MandieJanexoxo]

This is the dance i most remember from Strictly EVER!!! I think she is amazing and she defo should have got 40. :) It's great reliving the moments! LOL!

And people should stop critisising her judging on new series cos she is just Brilliant!

[sferemonk]

She's DELICIOUS!!!. 'scuse me, I mean she's very good.

[TheTubeMouse]

Alesha Dixon is one of those people who always come across as a really lovely person. I was so pleased she won this. Clearly the winner right from the start! Very talented lady.

[btvs853]

How this got 39 and horrid Lisa Snowdon's got 40 is anyones guess. Snowdons was awful, hated it, and she looked like a stick insect in a tent.

Alesha exudes so much more charm and grace, there was never the air of desperation.

[hOpEcHiLd7]

ROFL!!!

[rakata5]

It looks like the judges are too squashed together?!?! loool

[peterbix123]

this shud hav got 4 10s, lisas did this year and hers was nowhere near as good as aleshas!

[sowaiting2000]

How this is not Four TENS!

[Nebagram]

The look on Len's face at 2:00 :-D

[cutlerdixon]

Shame this dance never got 4 tens...

[katyy10]

i agree, how did rachel dance get 4 tens and this didnt?

[JacquelinePearce]

Totally. And how on earth did that utterly average cha cha cha from Lisa & Brendan get four tens? Who did the judges think they were kidding? This towers above that - dance magic. Or, in Craig's case, DARNCE magic ...

[anna123anna123]

christine should have watched this before she did her terrible cha cha with matt

[mysterysinger15]

they were fantastic!!!!

nothing else about it

they deserved to win

[Fizzypants]

is it me or do you think the singing on strictly completely ruins the dances?! i think they kill the songs, and it makes it harder to get into the rhythm and beat.

but i just love aleesha, and i loved matt - was a great final!

[JavierSantanaPanero]

This woman is class!

[sowaiting2000]

SCD is not the same without MATTESHA..........

[lisalilsmartass]

isnt - i feel like the show is missing something :| -- i LOOOOOVED MATTESHA :d lol

[drandom27]

craig never gives a 10! it was really gd tho

[XxHolliexDolliexX]

He did for Matt and Flavia, they got full marks on one of their dances. ;P

But I understand what you mean.

[topgear12121]

i agree hypervicky lol - matt is the most gorgeous man ever!!!!!!! mmmmm and they are such good dancers!

[hypervicky77]

best dance ever! and it helps that matt is really hot!

[JollofSchnitzel]

alesha looks so hot when they were receiving the scores...

and her little cackle, lol

[emluvspoppy]

alesha is a brill dancer and i'm glad that she'd won

[dalekjd]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! She looks so hot during the opening and through out, simply stunning.

[alibarthez]

So much sexual chemistry there its amazing, utterly breathtaking on every level. He is some choreographer.

[prungout]

Beautiful :)

[cutlerdixon]

One word: FA-BU-LOUS!

Shame they're not doing the 2008 Strictly tour together, this performance would have fitted in perfectly!

[0o0o07]

that dace was amazing

[LaSanta16]

I could watch this 24/7. She should give up singing and take up dancing professionaly - with Matt?

[nissakatenak]

gosh ..she's damn hot..glad she won..

[HazzaBoz]

Wow! That dance is seriously HOT!

So glad Alesha won! :-D

[compaq161718]

amazing!

glad she won

[241anne]

so glad that she won as she was the best one

[241anne]

well she is amazing dancer and she did look better then the others

[241anne]

so happy that she won

she was the best dancer and she was amazing

[BorrillHead]

WOO! That is HOT!

Alesha deserved to win by a mile!

[fienaluk]

An amazing performance. Alesha looked like a disco siren here.

[lvu16]

the opening was hot

[forgiveninasong]

This is so electrifying. They're amazing together and they deserved to win. I could watch this all day :)

[alibarthez]

God they are so hot, what a couple make the hairs on yr neck stand up....so horny together.!!!

[gracie302253]

the opening is the best

[cookoneatschool]

totally deserve to win this comp she is wonderful to watch and is an absolute brilliant dancer you go girl

[Cutchswife]

We love her in our house, we were jumping up and down when she won! She so deserved it well done Alesha and Matt!!! What a thriller!

[msnyooo]

soooo glad she won!!!

[Nathandevonte]

Gotta love her

[scottyDUK]

YES ! Well done Alesha!!! Its Diva time !!!!!

[mixxxgirl]

go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!we love u 2 alesha!!!!

[yakka84]

Did anyone else notice Craig head bouncing all the way through - and his reaction at 1:59 when he mimics Alesha swinging her head and then points at her - lol!

[Behappy12345]

You people seem to forget that the judges know what they're talking about when they give their scores

They have been dancing all their lives whereas most of the people critisising this dance have never done a days dance in their lives!

[Am1eya5]

one word

AMAZING

If she dnt win there's sumthing wrong with the genarll public

[toscanaremi]

She is such a diva. Fabulous

[rhinotay]

alesha to win!

[soufeastrudegyal]

go girl aleesha2win

[cookoneatschool]

that was one of the best dances ive ever seen i just wish she could dance for longer, she should win it without a doubt, she has rythm and could easily be a proffesional fantastic to watch.

[Peter9761]

I can't agree,i feel her ballroom is so much better than her latin...her legs are just a little slow

[ilovepatrickwolf]

Alesha to win!

[Cutchswife]

I wish she could win, they'll prolly give the title to someone else though, like they did in America when it was clear Mel B should have won for being consistently good. I'll keep my fingers crossed for her though because she should win.

[DianaTheAngelOfRoses]

I simply ADORE Alesha. I want her to win.

[natureboyinyourface]

she's a professional dancer!

[OliveGloss77]

No she isn't but i can see the mistake in thinking that. She's just too good!

[Cutchswife]

She is not a professional dancer! She always wanted to be a dancer but her mum couldn't afford to send her to lessons! She is just naturally good.

[lush008]

on the actual show beyonce was singin not this person

[graceamafine]

no, its the singers from the show! beyonce wouldn't come in especially to sing for one dance...that would be cool though.

[grosseput]

ELECTRIC...Gives me shivers!!!

[ianatno9]

absolutely fantastic, i could watch time and again

[toscanaremi]

Fabulous

[enyseun]

I think Alesha is by far the best dancer there. what do u mean Matt is the beta dancer? are u blind?

[janstevie]

Fantastic... what more can you say...

[anna123anna123]

I thought Alesha was amazing.

The beggining bit was fantastic and the ending. She went a tiny bit off in the middle but it was such a fantastic performance!

It was must have been awesome watching it from the audience.

[Arneia]

I want Alesha to win! Her dances look effortless bebcause she is so good! And has such a fun bubbly personality!

ALESHA TO WIN!

[XxkabootariXx]

i'd agree with alot of u, alesha is good but not as good as matt, u can see that he REALLY tries whereas with Alesha u jst dnt see that as much. And yes, this dance was gd but overated. I hope Matt wins!!

[mals12]

completely agree with you in that I think from what we've seen so far, Matt is better latin dancer than Alisha is although I was very impressed with her Ballroom (waltz). She certainly did the best waltz but Matt is definitely a better latin dancer. There isn't enough space here for me to describe why I think so!..

[XxkabootariXx]

:-) waltz is all about the female which is why u think shes better - i think keeping all dances in mind, they both are as gd as each other with their strengths and weaknesses in different areas.

Who marked my view as a bad comment? Unveil urself :|

[mals12]

...agree with you but the reason I liked Alisha's waltz was because she had a nice back line and head position and tone in the neck through the dance. This is difficult to achieve with just a weeks dancing!..Matt leads flavia nicely and is light on his feet. Futher improvement for him would be to focus on settling his weight more onto the standing leg to get more hip action.

[OliveGloss77]

Too say she doesn't sell her dance is ridculous.

I think overall Alesha is better dancer than Matt in both dances, her jive, cha cha cha and Salsa (extremely undermarked) have all been better than Matt's ok, maybe his Salsa is on par with hers and also let's not start on Alesha's ballroom because we all she is way above him on that section too!

Matt had a good salsa albeit, Flavia did most of the stuff but I still think She'll win and Matt will be either 2nd or 3rd behind Gethin.

[LunaPinkX]

Alesha has scored high on all her latin and ballroom dances, so I can't agree with you when you say he is better at latin,and she at ballroom.

[hunibabe]

Alesha doesn't need to try harder than matt, dancing comes naturally to her. Personally I think Alesha is the one biggest threat to the other and I hope she wins. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion so say what you want.

ALESHA TO WIN!!!

[TeeJay1625]

I don't think they should undermark Matt's dance just because the show is so desperate to try and get a girl to win again. Go Matt! Not that I have anything against alesha though. She's great!

[TeeJay1625]

As much as I love alesha and think that she's great, I have to admit this dance was overated and it should have been matt at the top of the leaderboard. Alesha is definitely a great 'mover' but what she really lacks is lightness on feet like matt. One of the key aspects about dancing is looking light and shifting your weight well on the floor; something that alesha isnt too great at. It seemed a bit ploddy and predictable! The cha cha is supposed to be a cheeky and sharp dance.

[mals12]

Unless any of the others pulls off an amazing stunt I think it's going to be between Kelly,Matt and Alisha. Commenting as a Ballroom/latin dancer myself,I know how hard it is to learn technique and to my eyes kelly has great characterisation of the dance (see her rumba/tango),Alisha brings the fun/lively aspect to dancing and Matt is always getting better so....who knows what'll happen at the end..

[AgentJ42]

both alesha and matt are fabulous! both dances well for non professionals

[mateeshafan07]

I absolutely love Alesha but guys if you have'nt already check out MEL B on youtube she is PHENOMINAL! I had no idea she could dance like that I am soooo proud of her

just type in ( mel b dancing with the stars ) and watch our girl rip up that american dance floor. There is alot of mel bashing going on over there as well as alot of subversive racism going on in the DWTS forums IT'S DISGUSTING! but she does have alot of fans BLESS HER! she sooo deserves to WIN!

[marsal0607]

Alesha and Matthew are sensational. Alesha benefitted from having a great dancer and teacher like Matthew (great chereography) while Matthew has an excellent draw in this series of strictly come dancing. I cannot see any couple winning other than Alesha and Matthew - I hope they win the contest.

[mrjonescalne120]

Turn of the telly and don't watch it on the internet - Dick!

[LunaPinkX]

I think Matt is good, but Alesha is better..

I hope Alesha wins it coz she dances really well, and overall she's better then Matt!

[ninigreen7]

Alesha and Mathew GREAT CHEMISTRY,GREAT FUN TO WATCH,GREAT DANCERS!!!!Hope she wins she is getting better and better...What a great show!!!

[NishyMJ]

I'm sorry but I thought Matt's way way better. There was nothing 'special' about this one, they were just spinning around most of the time..I think the judges just gave it 3 10's because they were expecting it to be great and then when watching it, they overestimated how good it was.

[weewatto]

Was ace but compared to her other performances it looked a little bit ploddy in places - probably only because we're all expecting perfection from her now! I didn't think it was as good as Matt's, maybe it's because he took everyone by surprise and did a wicked PR exercise in the training film by going on about being shy and unsexy!! Canny bugger :) Defo Matt and Alesha in the final, and I think he'll pip it because of popular appeal an' all that. Can't wait :)

[241anne]

i love alesha i hope she stay's in she the best one

[ninigreen7]

Alesha and her partner ROCKS sensationaL! lively! perfect chemistry....only who does not understand anything about dancing cannot agree...

ALESHA KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GIRL...

[curbyourenthusiasm]

ok im sorry to upset everyone!! im just gutted that she got 3 tens as i do genuinely think matt was great and worthy of it too.. but as a matt fan i shall not say anything untoward about alesha- sorry! im too addicted to the show and get a bit passionate sorry!

[ninigreen7]

Sorry you haven't upset anyone! you have the right to express your opinion I do think Matt was even greater than Alesha last saturday -Matt is a very good contender as well but Alesha is FUN,FANTASTIC AND GREAT FUN TO WATCH her partner is absolutely FANTASTIC AND GREAT CHOREOGRAPHER...Hope she wins...she is working hard for it...ENJOY THE SHOW

[mateeshafan07]

matt WAS NOT better than Alesha SORRY! Alesha is amazing she can turn her hand (or maybe body would be more accurate) to any dance she is given THAT my friends is pure TALENT! I do like matt though so i'm not bashing him I think he did really well, good for him! but MATTESHA get my vote every single week THEY ROCK HARD!!

[curbyourenthusiasm]

So forced and dull, all you can see is hair! no sexual chemistry, just the kind of dance she will have done before as she is a POPSTAR! this isnt a beauty contest and i dont think she should win because she looks good in a hankerchief... matt and flavia are sexier, more exciting and do harder dances with more character.. matt to win!!!

[southpaw2401]

how can you say such things? alesha rocks! the only reason you don't think her dances are as difficult is because she makes it look so easy! I bet if you tried to do that, you'd look stupid!

(not you specifically, just anyone else who isn't a dancer....unless you are a dancer yourself, in which case, sorry)

[OliveGloss77]

Haha.

Alesha is amazing on the show and you shouldn't put her down just because you are a Matt and flavia fan!

I like matt aswell but Alesha on the show is in a different league!!!

If her and matt were in the final i'll be happy but ALESHA TO WIN!

[kuchcyk]

A star is born - I would give her 10 just for walking down the street - and apparently she can sing too!! Can you imagine her in a musical, like Chicago!

[chris6770]

Fantastic - Alesha is so enthusiastic and beautiful, its great to watch. Hope she wins :)

[MysticMoonX]

Amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing. Alesha to win Strictly :D, She's so nice compared and HAWT lol. She shakes it like Beyonce XD Song suited her.

[Cutchswife]

Alesha to win this because she is so brilliant and an absolute beauty.. Love Matt too!

[rsefitpro2007]

Alesha Rocks she has to win this

[Rockinoutfreak]

It should have been 4 tens!!! HAHAHA Craig was head bopping to it!

[truebassline]

who was singin? n was that westwood?

[Dogos73]

Alesha to win!!!!!!!!!!!

[sexybiach86]

That was flippin' amazing! the entrance just made you stop and listen! it was sooo good! 3 10s! Well deserved!

[purplecaroline]

I didn't think this song woudl suit the Cha

cha, but the choreography and performance made it work! I complete adore these two as dancers and as contestants! Wonderful, joyous television! And they both look so HOT together!

[sallytc]

AWESOME!

[lvu16]

she is amazing without a doubt the winner

[Rockee92]

i bet matthews happy, he has said before that the cha cha was his favourite dance so to get three tens woo!

[xLoisx]

that was great but shame about the woman that was singing.....

[helenlai]

haha! Kennys failed high fives at 2:44!

it's great how everyone is so supportive of each other! i love this show!

[cinemaseat]

Alesha is very good looking.

[southpaw2401]

Amazing dance! I love it that you can see Craig bobbing his head to the music in the background

[jnorri01]

Absolutely the best dance ever on Strictly

[OliveGloss77]

Deserved those tens.
