  • They should bring back Matthew and Ian :(

  • she was awesome

  • If I didn't know who she was I would find it hard to pick the professional dancer!! Never watched the show but she looks good! Is she a judge now on it or is that a different show?

  • @papatomtom10 Yeah she's a judge.

  • @titch45lol No not anymore, she quite today :'(

  • @Brainiac12000 *quit

  • @09090888ful I was typing quickly lol

  • @Brainiac12000 lol...i have a habit of correcting people's spelling mistakes...

  • @09090888ful I do as well, I drive all my mates crazy!

  • Who had the idea of Strictly Come Dancing? What does it describe? To me it is complete radio, it is boring.

  • they said she shouldnt be a judge.... she's has every reason to be a judge... she's been there, done it, experienced it... won it.... whatever i was training for, if someone had achieved that, i would want them judging me

  • her hands are a bit all over the place, other than that, very good

  • hihi I`m good looking babe

  • shake a tail feather?

    the song is ok but not the one i would choose.

    the whole song is mostly...

    twisting! shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it baby! here we go loopty loop! shake it out baby! here we go looby-lie! bend over let me see you shake a tail feather, bend over let me see you shake a tail feather, bend over let me see you shake a tail feather, bend over let me see you shake a tail feather! oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooh! come on!

  • @xloPABLOolx heheheheh :D

  • Oh man, the LEGS. Penis rupture. She's so fit

  • Legs.

    SO MUCH LEGS.

  • what song is this??

    

  • @sternjack1 '(Let me see you) shake a tailfeather'. Ike & Tina Turner

  • @sternjack1 watch Blues Brothers, my friend.

  • a 20 second advert for a 104 second video.... fuck you youtube!

  • cool Made of secrets

  • Harvey was mad to ditch her for that other bird...I think she may have had the last laugh..!

  • Hocu jednu malu garavu da je gricnem kao jabuku...

  • You can't have a go at Alesha for being chosen as a judge, it was the BBC that made her a judge. She would have been crazy to turn down a job offer like that, no matter of how "qualified" she is. I think she does a good job.

  • Can't believe people watch this and actually believe it's a dance competition. It's just a popularity contest - watch how people less famous than others are quick to go out, simply because they don't score highly on the recognition factor. Watch how good looking blokes get to the end or win it, just because they get the vote of the housewife.

  • It's good. Shame she doesn't get back on the dance floor cause she's a knob as a judge.

  • @burtha3 Agreed. How can someone go from being a competitor in one series to being a "qualified" judge in the next series? That's like a footballer being named "player of the year" then being given the England managers job the next season.

  • It was ok, but I think it was lacking a lot of energy.

  • ARHGSAHRWEA HOW IS SHE A JUDGE

  • Too bad she doesn't stretch her legs anywhere..:O

  • TWIBBON START SOMETHING:-save englands countryside and nature we sprang from it mitchondrian eve..................add YOUR P4P TWIBBON FROM NATIONAL TRUST and send it in to them.....................with your favourite nature spots photo's.......................­..attach ribbon to photo....

  • her jive song is much more fun!

  • Is one of these people supposed to be an amateur? They look like a couple of pros.

    That girl has nice legs. I wonder what she does for a living. Those people over there in England aren't missing out as far as seeing great dance entertainment.

  • @mikeance The girl was the amateur dancer, used to be in a band called mis-teeq and is now a solo artist. Shes also a judge on this show now and has been for two years.

  • @0MaR786202 Okay, thanks for telling me about the girl.

  • great danicing wooooow so amazing

  • Comment removed

  • @2dasimmons....the song was originally by the Blues Brothers, with many other takes down the line, including this one as u say by Ike and Tina, i think the name of the song was what was wanted more than who was singing it.

  • @2010sallyann41 NO. In the 1980s The Blues Brothers covered Ike and Tina Turner's song SHAKE A TAIL FEATHER penned in 1960s. The original song is from Ike and Tina Turner's revue.

  • eso si es una digna ganadora,no como aqui en españa la belen esteban es de risa

  • i prefer 100000000 times Nichole and Derek!!!!!!!!!!

  • love this girl shes fantastic if only wishes came true

  • OMG!! That was absolutely amazing!!

  • love this video. I did the jive along with cha cha cha, salsa, etc for 2 years, but if anyone out there would like to do a video to show me how to learn this jive routine it would be much appreciated! :)

  • her legs are AH MAZING!

  • j'adore un truc de fouuuu :)

  • She has a body to die for! :O

  • This same song was used on Dancing w/the Stars Season 2, danced to by Mario Lopez & Karina Smirnoff. Their dance looked very similar to this one.

  • This is crap.....look to the right and click on the one that is just "Jive" with the girl in the pink by agatka91....now that's a real jive routine and it's a damn good one.

  • some men dance with flourishes, too feminine to even get in the navy

  • Awesome.

  • this looks like dancing with the stars lol

  • @hopedoves This is the US version of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing so it's bound to be similar ! !

  • whaouh

  • 0:39 best part

  • I love this dancing. Can anybody tell me the name of the song ?

  • @hars2121

    I believe it's Blues Brothers- Shake your tailfeather

    Good jive, but I've seen better! her legwork looks kinda weak here and there.. But still great :)

  • Alesha is the best dancer ever to be on strictly, definitely.

    She was only beaten on that Christmas special because it was the year she was actually in the competition, so she was busy with the final and didn't have nearly as much practice as the others!

    The next year she came back in the Christmas special and wiped the floor with the likes of Jill and Kelly.

    I wish they would partner her and Matthew up... just for one more dance :)

    Their showdance was the best ever in all series <3

  • @dukesquidlian Er hang on a minute so you state that ''She was only beaten on that Christmas special because she was busy with the final and didn't have nearly as much practice as the others!'' but then you go on to say ''The next year she came back in the Christmas special and wiped the floor with the likes of Jill and Kelly.'' No she didn't as she couldn't even make the top two, finishing below both Jill & Kelly, therefore your first quote is completely inaccurate. Overmarked & overrated.

  • @XXstilletoXX Well, she did. She ranked top with the judges, but not with the audience. So technically that makes her a better dancer, but not quite as popular. She wasn't fucking over marked you moron, because as Arlene said in response to Alesha's samba "I only expect perfection from you Alesha", indicating Alesha was marked on a different scale to the other celebrities, and furthermore would have been UNDERMARKED.

  • @dukesquidlian ''She ranked top with the judges, but not with the audience. So technically that makes her a better dancer, but not quite as popular.'' Yep she got 39 from the judges but so did Rachel, Jill and Kelly... so that technically DOES NOT make her a better dancer than them. As for Arlene she has numerously stated that Jill is the best dancer to appear on the show and that her Jive was the best dance to be performed on strictly. She also stated Jill was at pro standard week 3.

  • @XXstilletoXX You fucking moron. Because there were four people with 39 points, the judges had to decide an order of who was actually the strongest dancer. They put Alesha top, Jill second, Rachel third and Kelly last. Get your facts right before you start spewing shit.

  • Comment removed

  • Alesha is the best

  • most of that is kick ball changes.

  • Matthew Cutler is awesome!

  • Ok, the dude is obviously a pro dancer but the chick aint. No clue who they are but thats the way it looks.

  • @Buuub08 No, you're right. It's a televised dancing competition form England called Strictly Come Dancing. They pair a male or female professional dancer with a celebrity who's not a dancer - usually sports stars, singers or Soap Opera actors or actresses. Matthew's a Professional Dancer, Alicia Dixon is a solo singer. This is from a few years ago now and this couple won the comp. The American version is called Dancing With the Stars!

  • tnx :)

  • If kara wins; does this mean she gets to be judge?

  • @DJOfRadioGallifrey doubt it

  • Comment removed

  • hey.... what's the song?

  • @xtinchek shake your tailfeather

  • @xtinchek @xtinchek  shake your tailfeather

  • Why is there a 20 second advert before the start of this clip? I'm paying a licence fee to create this content.

  • she is fukin hot

  • wow aleshia

  • @LeopoldStotchRules christmas specials as there has been no-one who would be considered a weak dancer in even the top two. Jill has also won more than Alesha as Jill has won two chistmas special and Alesha didn't even make the top two in the 2007 christmas special. In fact she was bottom with the judges on that occasion. Therefore in the opinion of myself and the voting public, Jill is an overall better dancer.

  • HMM WOWZA, mind you that hip ball turn wasn't quite on point.. dont takke it bad darlin, only here for helppp sweeetychops ;)

  • My gawd that woman has legs three miles long!!

  • Alesha on Strictly as many people would like to remember her.

  • Alesha is so amazing.....great dancer,great singer and realy beautiful woman.she si perfect;)))

  • ooooo could the answer be Jill by any chance... oh and they both danced Ballroom in that christmas special ... so I suppose bitterpop I could argue a case that Jills Ballroom is better than Alesha's too ....

  • Comment removed

  • fck :D i wanna dance like that guy

  • she needs to be lighter on her feet.

  • how many times did she get 40/40 in the whole series, does anyone know?

  • @Danashtheman1232 She didn't. The only contestant that year to get four tens was Mr DiAngelo for his awesome waltz

  • whats the song called can you let me now plaese

  • @DaneilleJones

    It's "Shake a tailfeather".

    There's a great version of it in the film "The Blues Brothers", sung by Ray Charles.

  • Comment removed

  • Longest legs in Christendom. 

  • @heelrunner I AGREE! :)

  • SHE'S A RUBBISSSSSSSSSSSH JUDGE!!!!!

  • @123doobedoo i think she doesnt brind much, she cant really comment on technique! they should get Karen Hardy instead and replace Bruce and Tess with Anton and Claudia in my opinion!

  • Hot legz

  • Alesha's judging credentials can be summed up by saying Waltz is the hardest ballroom dance and telling Matt his quickstep was off time...

  • She was so over rated.. how on earth did she ever make it as a judge. Shes not a good judge jonny all she says ks.. can i just say you look amazing in that dress, and hang in there and bring it next week, its the same thing over n over again. Not once has she named an actual ballroom or latin step. I liked the chemistry between the judges before arlene phillips has been around for years and even judged me in comps. And it was funny when they all started disagreeing. Theres hardly any of that now

  • Alesha isn't even the best female celeb SCD has had...I agree she is heavy footed

    Go and watch Jill's Jive from series 2 = 40 /40 .... some people have short memories

  • @XXstilletoXX its a fact that alesha is the best celeb scd has ever had craig revel horward said she is the best out of all the celebritys. and the most successful contestant to ever take part in Strictly Come Dancing, with an average point score of 36.5/40, the highest average score from any contestant to ever take part in the show.

  • @bitterpop101 Go and watch Jills jive and then tell me Alesha's attempt was better. Jills flicks and kicks are much sharper and the choreography is far more complex. Arlene claimed that Jill was at the standard of a professional Latin dancer. The dances were not overmarked in the earlier series and were judged fairly. If we're judging on success Jill has won the most strictly trophies and Rachel has achieved far more 10s and perfect scores than Alesha.

  • @XXstilletoXX i do think Alesha was very overmarked. 35 seemed to be the default score, regardless of how she danced. This jive has energy, but the technique isn't great.

  • @XXstilletoXX Have a look at Alesha ballroom much better then jills and this jive was only in week 2

  • @bitterpop101 This Jive was in week 3 if I remember correctly and so was Jills.

  • Comment removed

  • @XXstilletoXX I have an idea! Why don't we have them compete against eachother in a christmas special! Prefferably, four series after Jill won, Alesha needs all the help she can get! Oh wait, that already happened. Can someone remind me who won? Does @bitterpop101 have any ideas?

  • @XXstilletoXX yes week 3 but only her second dance

  • @bitterpop101 If Alesha is so good, why did Jill beat her in the christmas special?

  • @CherrysFanVids11 Exactly Cherry, why did Jill beat her in the xmas special or Kelly Brook for that matter? Fades into the background when she's presented with some REAL competition ;-)

  • @CherrysFanVids11 Jill won the audience vote that night, Alesha won the judges vote. The judges placed Alesha higher on the leader board, if you remember :) So from a dancing POV, the judges said Alesha was better than Jill. It was the audience that preferred Jill and really, what do they know about dancing?

  • @LeopoldStotchRules They actually recieved the same score and it was only when they were forced to choose between them, Alesha did better and that was Len's decision. If it was another judge it may have been different. Considering Len gave Kara and Gavin the same score this week, I really don't think his opinion is much better than the publics.

  • @CherrysFanVids11 Actually, I have it on my computer and what Len said was "we have discussed it and in first place we would have Alesha & Matthew". So it seems to me the whole judging panel placed Alesha higher than Jill. I'm sure if it had been latin, they'd have placed Jill higher because in that she was superior but in ballroom, as evidenced in the Christmas special you so thoughtfully brought up, Alesha was superior to Jill. The judges sentiments and also mine :)

  • @LeopoldStotchRules Well I do try to be thoughtful. Going back to the original point made, this was 4 years after Jill won so if they were against eachother after Jill won (not possible for obvious reasons, I know) then I have no doubt the outcome would have been different because obviously Jill isn't as good as she was when she won. Also it may have been two judges against two and then Len got to make the final decision; we don't actually know. The public also tend to vote on dancing in.....

  • @CherrysFanVids11 Seems to me you're making an awful lot of suppositions and ignoring the plain facts in front of you - that the judges placed Alesha higher on the leader board than Jill. Sorry.

  • @LeopoldStotchRules No, I'm pointing out that Alesha has an advantage because this is four years after Jill won and hadn't danced properly since. FACT. Also Jill has won 2 christmas specials whereas Alesha has only won one. ANOTHER FACT. Fair enough that Alesha was placed higher than Jill on the night but I'd also like to point out the American Smooth is a dance that Jill had never danced before as they didn't do it in her series.THIRD FACT.

  • @CherrysFanVids11 Lol, taking things a little seriously, no? How about this FACT - Alesha was placed higher on the leaderboard than Jill the only time they were pitted against each other. What you originally said was, if Alesha was so good why did Jill beat her in the Christmas special? And my response was that you were wrong which you have now admitted in a round about way. You can make all the excuses you like, the FACT is the one time they were in competition, Alesha was scored higher :)

  • @LeopoldStotchRules Well yes, but going by that logic, Darren Gough, Gethin Jones and Mark Ramprakash are better than Alesha as the only time they've been against eachother is in the 2007 Chrsitmas Special and all of these were higher than Alesha on the leaderboard. I'm sorry to say your logic is wrong because according to your theory; Alesha is better than Jill, Jill is better than Gethin, and Gethin is better than Alesha. That doesn't really add up does it? So in fact you're wrong. :)))))

  • @CherrysFanVids11 On the contrary, it absolutely does add up sweetie, don't put yourself down so much ;) On the night, they absolutely were better than Alesha and on the only night Jill and Alesha were against each other, Alesha was better. To compare people you have to pit them against each other - there is no 'blah is better than blah' certainty, as you've been rather desperate to prove here lol. It's nice you've finally embraced logic! I'm glad to see you're finally seeing sense :D

  • @LeopoldStotchRules You don't have to patronise me, I think you need to re-read my message. When I was saying X is better than Y that was using your logic of putting them directly up against eachother so I think you'll find no, it doesn't add up, sweetie. ;)

  • @LeopoldStotchRules Just want to point out, on that night, it was a 4-way tie between Alesha, Jill, Rachel and Kelly. Because it was a tie, the judges had to rank them in order, putting Alesha at the top of the board. Don't know your background, but I'm quite happy to take their opinion over yours. Also, Alesha has the highest average score of any contestant ever on Strictly.

    I'm done now.....

  • @tuldorman5 Lol, um I actually agree with you and those are all the points I've been making to others lol. I think you clicked reply to the wrong poster :p

  • @bitterpop101 I'm pretty sure she still wouldn't have danced the Jive to Jills standard given an extra week ... oh hang on she danced it again in the final as part of the judges choice and was still as heavy footed and clunky as she was here... no improvement what so ever :-P

  • Popped in for a bit of nostalgia; there'll never be another female contestant like Alesha, she was an uniquely amazing dancer.

  • she is so good at dancing

  • BRING BACK MATTHEW CUTLER!!

  • @imagin77 YES DEFINITELY! MATT WAS AMAZING I LOVE MATT

  • I like alesha as well but certinly her Jive is nowhere near as good as Gabby Logans Jive a few years earlier, but we all know its a popularity contest now, not a dance contest because as good as Gabby was she was apparently not liked by the public for some obscure reason ?

    I foresee MP Ann lasting along long time this year which will have me for one turning off very quickly ! Lets allow the professional Judges to decide, at least untill the final, then the best "celeb" dancers will prevail

  • @Gapples007 gabby logan was in the same series as alesha.

  • @imagin77 Well so I was wrong on the series, but I'm right on Gabby being a better at jive imho

  • I like Alesha, she can dance, but she's not that good. If you watch this without the music you'll see how slow & heavy footed she is. This is a very slow paced jive, nowhere near as good as I'd expect from a winner! Also I don't like her as a judge. It's ludicrous for her to judge the contestants, what does she know about technique etc. nothing! I wasn't a fan of Arlene but she knew what she was talking about & gave constructive criticism instead of saying "you was pretty" like Alesha does!

  • @needtogetoutmore

    A) It was the second week of the competition and she was a learner. So why would you expect her to be a professional?

    B) SCD is an entertainment show. She is entertaining. Plus she was trained in ballroom and latin dancing for 5 straight months by a professional. Arlene has never been trained in ballroom and latin. She was a show choreographer. Two entirely different mediums of dance.

    C) If Alesha isn't allowed to compliment on looks, why was Arlene allowed to?

  • @LeopoldStotchRules

    I see very little improvement between this dance and her later dances.

    I did not say I expected her to be a professional.

    I am aware that SCD is an entertainment programme, and that the winners are simply the best of a mediocre bunch of 'dancers'.

    Being trained by a professional does not make her more knowledgeable than a choreographer.

    I did not say she isn't allowed to comment on looks. I was referring to her constant use of the word 'was' as opposed to the word 'were'!

  • i just love her

  • alesha is the queen of strictly

  • i like the choreography..its fun to dance.. :)

  • Alesha's a dancer
