Matt Baker and Aliona Vilani - Jive - Strictly Come Dancing 2010

[schpongled]

This still makes me laugh! Matt Baker's comedy acting in this is brilliant! He should have won.

[SpiritKnob]

Cool moonsault, and Aliona is a goddess

[mattyboyers]

35 was probably about right, as craig said he made 1 or 2 mistakes that are hard to spot when your not looking, but it still was a really good score and highly entertaining!!!

[IloveHeartlandX]

He so should have won!

[IloveHeartlandX]

Loved the backflip! Wish i could do that!

[JessWillowBateman]

Am i the only one ywho thinks this was worth 40!

[MarjoPoynter]

I'm so jealous of Aliona's legs !!

[TheOnlyWayIsJessex]

Great dance! :D

[megagleekify]

I love how his suit matches her hair...

[welshcherry]

Matt is one of my favourite Strictly contestants ever! Wonderful dancer and a lovely man!

[terri123455]

worth tens or what!?!?!?!?

[DandyKitten101]

I Wish He Won!

[Roxanna8294]

omigawd, look at her legs!

[xcoraxsummerxtarax]

deadly dance there complete legends '-' xxxx

[jivebabe1]

Makes me want to get my dancing shoes on!!

[Sharptooth100]

Crikey! I lost my mojo! That is what Matt Baker should say.

[flipdart]

how do you dance in those shoes?!

[abbanutter]

amazing and she looked gorgeous!

[PrinceOfMalta1]

Holy Shit Aliona Vilani Is Perfect.

[sarzuf52]

This was by far the best dance of the series. That is all.

[itsmoidarlings]

That is officially the best dress I've seen on Strictly :)

[lollshade]

GOD CAN I SAY SOMETHING!!!!! KARA IS A TWAT NOW SHUT UP!

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

@lollshade Correction, Your a twat!!!! , dear :)

[jamesthemaniac]

@lollshade Better than Brooke Burke who we have to deal with over here state-side.

[ineendubh]

This, apparently, was the week where they were marooned filming Countryfile in the Outer Hebrides and only had FOUR hours of training. Still managed to pull off something far superior of what most couples manage in five times that time span. And that backflip -- Crikey!

[lotsalegs86]

austen powers never looked so good!

[Cla900]

he so should have won

[Serena11xoxo]

There wasn't enough content in their, Aliona really messed up on this dance!

[ItsGeo43]

Aliona is fucking fine.

[Thekatherinejohnson]

WOW ♥ doesn't come as a surprise that he has an acting degree, eh? :) xx

[pixiechristmas]

that's the coolest dance from Matt and Aliona.I cam@t stop watching.This soundtrack will be on my next party.LOVE IT

[MusicGoddessDivine]

AMAZING!!! This really deserved four tens just for entertainment, and another four tens for content. Those step ball changes are incredibly tricky, especially for a non professional, and they didn't even MENTION them!!!

[shazcad]

Great routine.....

[doctorwhorules17]

Matt should have won Strictly. End of.

Kara and Artem were the Rachel and Vincent of one of the previous seasons.

[matt6517]

@doctorwhorules17 Hey shut up! People are allowed to have a different opinion to you, that's why there's a public vote! Okay so you don't like Kara, that's fine, that's your opinion and you're perfectly entitled to it. But there are people out there (and quite a lot I may add) who think differently to you, and you will just have to accept that not everybody has the same taste as you. Stupid bigheaded twerp.

[doctorwhorules17]

@matt6517 How about you fuck off, twat? Did I in anyway say something against you or the public who voted for Kara? No! I just made an observation of her and her partner - I did not not in anyway personally insult you or them but since you decided to call me a "stupid bigheaded twerp"; then you as may as well be a stuck up bitch for calling me that for expressing MY opinion on a couple I favoured. Don't tell me to shut up, as you clearly stated "people are allowed to have a different opinion".

[matt6517]

@doctorwhorules17 You clearly said "Matt should have won strictly. End of", that doesn't sound like an opinion, that sounds like someone making a statement of fact. If you would have said "I think Matt should have won" then that would be different. But you said it as if it were fact., like you were clearly not willing to consider anyone else's opinion.

[Ollie6T9]

My favourite dance on strictly. Maybe not the tens but great to watch and so oh!!!

[thecrazypeps]

Aliona Vilani is HOT

[aligrino]

i don't know how matt made this sexy.... but he did

[brittyinwonderland]

Shaggadelic baby, YEAH!!

[Metallica4Life93]

I love this. Matt's Acting skills are so FUNNY!

[zzjcc]

Most entertaining routine i've ever seen on SCD!!!

[JO3KAH]

Aliona is stunning

[ronki23]

Shaggadelic theme!

[tillieanne76]

Absolutely brilliant! why is he so under marked,and Pamela,who is good,but not outstanding,gets brilliant scores,why?

[zzjcc]

@tillieanne76

because Pamela is an old woman and they want an old woman to win this time.

Matt to win!

[tillieanne76]

@zzjcc

I think Pamela is good,but not good enough to win! Matt or Kara should win(in my opinion lol)

He is very funny too..

[MissGracieKathy]

great dance, but what or who is austin powers? or don't i want to know?

[TheJada001]

@MissGracieKathy How can you not know who Austin Powers is ? It's a character in the Austin Powers movies, played by Mike Myers.

[AnAutumnsDay]

Not prone to praising celebs for taking part in Strictly , however this was something else!!!! For me what Matt Baker did here , with the Austin Powers dance was outstandingly good and because of that , I truly hope the guy wins the whole thing !!!

[LittleChig]

ooooh.. sexy in those glasses... he can leave them on.

[larifari12oder3]

Hes soo hot :)

[Dtisfit]

MATT TO WIN!

[peacerose2130]

should have got 10's

[emanitudism]

She did really, really good choreography for this.

And the character suits his character perfectly.

The band were perfect too.

[Crazychic112]

NOM NOM is all i have to say

[alisonlp1969]

I really enjoyed Matt & Aliona's Jive dance step,and I really loved it so much, and I thought Matt was absolutely fantastic doing the gymnast back flip, and I thought it was absolutely amazing, Matt & Aliona to win the final.

[LittleChig]

What is it about Matt that is so damn sexy???  Everything he does is hot.

[1silentsigh]

she is fit!!!!!!!!!!!

[vTILLv]

Absolutely a brilliant routine. Matt was a believable 'Austin Powers'. Loved it!!! Well done to the pair of them. GROOVY BABY!!!!!

[CujoshuntLives]

THE LEGS

[XxCarlieCullenxX]

He makes geeky look sexy!

[mintysilver]

I love this man! Can't get enough of him, have taken to watching Countryfile for a glimpse!

[beatboy3]

brilliantly choriographed, apparantley im a loser for watching this at school. fuck xfactor, this is the way foward. they just needed the teeth

[Analeigh999]

I really like Matt, but i wasn't too keen on this because there wasn't enough jive in it, not enough flicks and kicks!

[phoebegrove]

Love this. The costumes are incredible. Love Aliona's dress, it's like Geri Halliwell's dress. Austin Powers vs James Bond lol!

[lemmonyish]

grroooooovyy baby!! i adore matt, he has to win!!

also, anybody else think that it was mightily unfair that the two other boys got sexy characters, and matt got landed with the geeky role?

still who cares, he played the character hilariously :D

[MsStarsea]

@lemmonyish I do think it was unfair, but I prefer to think of it in a positive light - you might be able to see Matt as James Bond, but could you see Scott as Austin Powers? ;) It's a tribute to Matt that he could carry it off and manage to still be athletic and sexy while doing it, can't wait for the swing-a-thon!

[lemmonyish]

@MsStarsea oh definitely, I think matt is wonderful and this is a tribute to the fact that he can play so many different characters brilliantly!

i just thought it a little unfair that the others were given the roles which would, perhaps, make the ladies want to vote more :D

matt still gets my vote though :D

[xxdrosexx]

@lemmonyish

Geeky can be sexy :3

[cobaltmale]

I hoped the final is between Pamela and Matt

[SZHZNZSZ]

matt to win - but aliona is going ot lose it for him :(

[cobaltmale]

Matt looks sexier every week - even like this. Surprised the cameras didn't pick out Gethin

[craigybaby10101]

wait...there was a guy dancing?

[Mafiawl]

Matt is the best all rounder and I hope he will win. Clearly the intention this week was to remove Ann and Anton by arranging the marks accordingly. It put Scott through a worrying moment but it worked. Think about it.....a 9 for Gavin? Four 10s for Pamela? An 8 for Matt? They will have been aware of the publics votes since show 1 and will have been able to manipulate it accordingly. Glad they did.

[ClubPminimovies]

Great Austin Powers impression and great dance!! x

[Petratjuh]

I like Matt, I do, but he's not given the best choreography. Between 1.04 - 1.18 they just did arm things and simply stood there, not good. I think with another partner he could be better. And his kicks were not sharp enough. it was nowhere near as good as Scott's jive. I'm kinda rooting for the boys (not Gavin) and I'm kinda disappointed by Aliona.

[SZHZNZSZ]

@Petratjuh i agree!!!

aliona is going to lose it for him!!!!!

WE MUST VOTE FOR MATT!!!!

[Petratjuh]

@SZHZNZSZ But please vote for Scott as well. He did not deserve to be in the bottom 2 tonight.

[593OLYMPUS]

Teriffic routine - Matt is so into the Austin Power's role. He's overcome his shyness, made as much progress as anyone on the show, and deserves to win. They keep going on about how "entertaining" ann widdy / anton are, but Matt and Aliona week in week out knock the socks off anything Anne can do.

[Mark5058]

From 1:53 to 1:58 we see the judges passing their marks to one another. Fix!

[SZHZNZSZ]

@Mark5058 is that what they were doing??

i swear - i'm never watching strictly again if matt doesnt win!!!!!

[angelichannie]

@Mark5058 I thought they wrote there marks on that paper and then they hand it to one of the crew so they know what scores to put up on the tv screen.

This was amazing. Matt should win. He has been constant through the whole series so far.

[quatty1]

i love aliona!!!! wellllllllllllllllllllllll fit!

[codex601]

CAN MATT DO AHYTHING??? YES HE CAN!!!!

[MrRandom001]

@codex601

yea baby yea =P

[snorkmaidenful]

Some people have absolutely no imagination., they need to be spoonfed everything to a set formula. I don't give a toss whether it was technically a jive or not, it was the most amusing thing I've ever seen on this show. It certainly puts Anton perpetually hauling some old heifer round a dancefloor in the shade entertainment wise. He also managed to be incrediby sexy doing this, God knows how but he did.

[tillieanne76]

Fabulous,i agree though,did not look like a jive.

I hope he wins,not the chubby Ms Stevenson (rude i know,dont like her) sorry.

[DoItToGetHere]

@tillieanne76

matt should win, but pamela is amazing for her age! have you seen the stuff she can do? i think she's gorgeous and a real inspiration :)

[tillieanne76]

@DoItToGetHere

She is amazing,I know.I just like Matt (probably for all the wrong reasons)haha

Its just next to Kara she loooks a bit heavy>But yes she is amazing for her age.

[ballroomdancer901]

Good performance, the flip was amazing. bad song, no jive at all, it had more of a samba beat. He was a little to stiff I think.

[GazzaGlitta]

@ballroomdancer901 I'd make him stiff.

[avatarfan07]

Loved the performance, but there wasn't a lot of jive going on.

[java501]

What has he got to do to get a bloody 10?

[zxaddictxz]

Matt is so good at comedy!

[SuperStonerose]

hmmm not so keen on this. Totally wrong music...wasn't really a jive at all.

[MsStarsea]

Not the easiest music for a jive, but danced with panache and charm as always. Matt obviously enjoyed the acting side a lot!
