UK Entry - Eurovision Dance Contest 2008 - BBC One

[majesiu526]

Polska jest najlepsza!!!!!!!

[XXstilletoXX]

They should bring this back. Matt and Charlotte from SYTYCD would win it for the UK with their broadway routine :)

[FaidraAaHL]

poland forever!!!

first of all, these costumes suck!

[MAGDI397]

Szupeeeeer...

[MsOktii]

This was pretend to win???? POLAND WAS AND IS THE BEST !!!!!!!!

[kajtek535]

[CanuckFootballFan]

I think it took some stones on Vincent's part to take Louisa to this comp. as his partner - compared to the other ladies (while she is VERY talented) she is still an amateur. Amazing job none the less - it's obvious she has a natural ability and passion for this and I wouldn't mind seeing Louisa take her dancing to another level.

[vgclairisch]

@ AcapulcoBayFan: The song is "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones, but this version is a cover done by a Canadian group called GOB.

[AcapulcoBayFan]

do someone know,taht what is the name of this song,what is played in this video..please,when somebody know,tahn tell me..thanks a lot :)

[Anetta271]

Polish dancers are the best

[anoukwakely]

that aint Louisa Lytton. Dat is Flavia Cacache

[lilmismcr]

@anoukwakely this is Louisa lytton

[EJam2010]

@anoukwakely no that's Louisa Lytton you flid.

[BlueRush]

We should have done better than we did, and the song choice was amazing, but I do think in both contests so far the UK's dancers did much too much spinning around. Still, this was such a great show and Poland deserved to win! I really hope it keeps going!

[angiemojo]

mamma mia that was brillant

[anoukwakely]

HOLY CRAP that is their best dance ever!!!! not alot of choreoraphy but it is exxelent

[rosesinvase]

I prefer it over Poland. But yeah, the Poland one had more dance to it though. It's understandable they won.

[ChippyMinton40]

You know, I vastly prefer the Eurovision Dance Contest to the Eurovision Song Contest because in this, the UK can actually provide an amazing entry. :)

Is that Louisa Lytton? I remember wanting her to win Strictly when she was on it. :)

[Maggie0083]

Its good, but polish couple was better...

[polandizabela]

wszyscy inni mogą się schować... Polska zawsze we wszystkim jest, była i będzie najlepsza, tylko czasem nie ma środków na promowanie młodych talentów... Ave Poland!

[violetviolets]

@polandizabela Prawda...ale teraz muzyka Poski jest do kitu! Same powolne, nudne piosenki. Niewiem kto wybiera tych artistow ale nie pasuje mi wogule. Taniec moze byc.

The music scene in Poland is horrible. Boring, slow, sad love songs or polish rap. Its a joke. Poland had much better music in the past. I know there is much better talent and I don't understand why we choose the worst. I think that is why many Polish people now listen to English music from America...they are sick of the garbage

[polandizabela]

@violetviolets no niestety masz rację;/;/ muzyka nie jest za dobra na Eurovizjach ;/;/

ale w tańcu wymiatamy xD

[Aelliaa]

what it's called background music?

[anoukwakely]

red door paint it black

[kresowy]

There was too much athletics instead of choreography. The polish couple has greate show and dance when they are just making circous tricks.

[Aelliaa]

Music?

[strictlyfoxtrot]

Paint it Black by lee mead

[Aelliaa]

Wiem,że nikt mnie nie zrozumie,bo wszystkie komentarze są po angielsku,ale mimo to zapytam:jak się nazywa ten śliczny podkład muzyczny?PROSZĘ o pomoc!;)

[michalk866]

very very good.... greet from poland

[KevJP1983]

How on earth this did not win? half the lifts and moves louisa did in that flavia had also done with vincent in their professional routines on strictly! Louisa pulled them off like a pro ROBBED ROBBED ROBBED!

[Sysiu69]

@KevJP1983 downtube . gourl . org ----- Download video in YouTube!

[deanobrown2006]

@KevJP1983 Robbed is the word!!

Maybe this year they'll change the voting so it's like the new voting of the song contest, if they do then this would have blown all the others away!

[sakurka14]

i love it ;D

[JuStDanCe4L]

i like it..

[elizabeth199002]

They were great but Poland better in this contest :)))

[hOpEcHiLd7]

THEY SHOULD OF WON!!!!!! LOL!

[Ljupcho18]

Can anyone tell me where can I download this song??? PLEASE!!!

[Dremoria]

It's not circus show...it's dance contest...

[drewfan14]

I wanted them to win!! I was highly disappointed to hear they won only 9th place, they should have at least won 3th place...

But that's my opinion...

[jedq]

she well fit

[matthewnoonan2009]

THEY SHOULD OF WON

[BritishRainDrop]

Why don't us UK lot win anything? BOOOOOOHOOOOOO!

[abstractthinker17]

they could of gotten more marks from the judges if vincent had forgotten about the jive at the end. The judges probably counted it as coming out of character therefore marked it down accordingly.

[sweettalkxx]

where is it that he forgets??? (time)

[abstractthinker17]

from 1:35 to the end where it just doesn't fit in with the performance

[xoxoEmma94xoxo]

happy bday vincent! luv ya xx

[Bille994]

i think the BBC would do a good job of hosting the song contest if we ever won again, based on this

[gadgetgal123]

its such a brilliant dance with great music, louisa did really well with vincent, we should have won, our muic and obviously the dance was way better the poland-oh and the people. louisa is brilliant!!!

pasa, and jive are my fave dances as well, so to have a mix of them is really great!!

[cocinella88]

they suck!!!

[xoxoEmma94xoxo]

eh no they dont

[GrowlerV6]

well considering she is not a professional dancer, yes i know she did strictly, i think she had massive guys to go into a contest like that

great routine excellent choreogrpahy and have to say amazing song

Louisa looks stunning with he hair like that

10/10 (yes we should have won!)

[ktikrn]

where can i download that song i cant find it anywhere

[wheelers04]

..the best ever performance for the United Kingdom at the ESC

[wheelers04]

Great song choice. Great colours. But the best dancers? I think we can do better.

[MizzSweety1357]

lithuania was the bestest of the best.. :)

[Xxzo16xX]

Paint it black by lee mead. amazing!

[95IceCold]

Song =o??

[xoxoEmma94xoxo]

next year it should be rachel and vincent for EDC

[hammondblue]

Awesome!!!

[conversekid91]

this would have been amazing if she were on strictly and done this for her show dance if she were in the final,

bbc please ask if she can do this on a strictly show????

[jaradoref]

She was on Strictly in Series 4 and came 4th

[beckyj1983]

poland was the best but i think we sould have been in the top 5

[neanderthal1000]

it was good choreography but she looked uncomfortable! if it was me deciding who should do it, i would've chosen alesha dixon and her partner from strictly, to perform their showdance again.

[jaradoref]

I agree. If we are still in next year. I would choose Alesha.

[AliiDeee]

It was great.

It's a shame Strictly don't use the same studio.

[Scrivy15]

Louisa was the best looking dancer if that counts for anything

[NikkiBoelsen]

Subjective comment regarding 'looks', so it doesn't count for anything...It is a dance competition!!!

[NikkiBoelsen]

I thought the choreography was amazing and I've watched this routine more often than Poland's one. However, I feel that Louisa looked a bit out of practice. She was a bit 'stiff' in parts. What confused about this contest was that each country was SUPPOSED to incorporate something of their own culture into the dance: I only saw this in a few routines, most notably that of Ireland (and they scored fairly low). Am I missing something or what??? Liked Ukraine's routine and also that of Sweden!

[CherylTweedyRulez]

what position did we come?

[JackMartha4ever]

14th xxxxxxx

[pastarena]

no we came in 9th

[FlawedDeception]

Yeah, 9th

[7katarzyna12345]

Ok.. Britain....

They were but Poland won...maybe next year British pair will win... I keep thumbs....

I enjoyed it too... but you know I am Polish so I loved how Edyta and Marcin danced.... they were great...and Marcin is not a professional dancer he is an actor xxbethbanksxx

[deanobrown2006]

So is Louisa!! she isn't a professional dancer either lol.

[glamourousmakeup]

lousia's an actress

[Blackwidow19]

I thought this dance was brilliant... thought that the judges should have given them a much higher score then they did.. also the song is great... am happy for Poland (am part polish so proud of both countries) they were great am glad they won...

[xxbethbanksxx]

louisa did well gd coz she isnt even a proffessional dancer!! xxx

[aqualilyjames]

louisa and vincent were simply awesome in this.

i actually felt pround to be from the uk in eurovision, and i havent really felt that since 1999. :).

well done uk, lets make 2009 even better :) xx

[7katarzyna12345]

I understand you...You also can be proud because of English footballers ..they play great ..and I love watching football matches with them....

greetings..

[deanobrown2006]

ye i agree, u actually felt like talkin about them with people the day after, because without a doubt they should have done better, and for the f irst time in ages we could say that they did their absolute best and in the end it wasnt their fault the result we got

[7katarzyna12345]

Poland has showed who rules....I am proud of dem coz I am Pole, but Britain was good too...Shame they did not get the better place....

P.S. This man who led this Contest annozing I hate him...

Greeting from Poland Britain an sry for 1 point....

[amor405]

this dance is pretty amazing they should've got more points!!!!!

[angelicpenelope]

Louisa & Vincent are brilliant!!

[tomathyloverblerogue]

wow...just, wow :) go uk!

[Shortiee31]

1.02/3

Wow! =O Louisa & Vincent are amazing, was really pleased with the UK entry, shame we didn't get further but yeah *sigh*! x

[mcrmusician]

thiis was awsome we should have won

but poland was good aswell though!

[mmaateooo]

Strasznie podobał mi się ich występ. Szkoda, że tak nisko zostali ocenieni... Ale za to cieszę się ze zwycięstwa naszych kochanych POLAKÓW!!

[saraju12]

because although she is im guessin, louisa lytton doesnt look like an amateur!

[trigrocks]

she was on strictly come dancing with vincent and she was great on that too. She is a great actress too.

[saraju12]

i didnt watch the show, but is it an amateur and a professional then?

[deanobrown2006]

they were robbed plain and simple, it should have been a 2 horse race between them and Poland. but in terms of pure dancing this was awesome.

Louisa was without a doubt the best "amateur" on the show, they were the only couple that looked like a professional dance couple

[LittleMissBeth7]

Agreed. Plus the fact lots of other countries used people bound to be good - like Omlympic Ice Skaters and stuff. I think she did really good for a an actress.

[randyandy2769]

louisa did fantasticaly well to come form where she was in strictly to produce this fantastic performance!

[XxXsnoopyrocksmysock]

louisa lytoon isnt professional

she was only on strictly

tht doesnt make her a pro she has never competed in nationals or anything

x

[varietylover]

Idea of programme is good, although the voting is obviously politically driven which is very sad...and Graham Norton and Claudia Winkelman, both dreadful presenters.

[rylykesjeallybeans]

oh my god, that dance was better than poland!!!!

[MoranLover]

deffo!

[7katarzyna12345]

You are joking !!! R U jealous ! the better dancers always win .... Poland was the best but England was good...

[Ffion1108]

They were representing Britain, not England. And they were great! Really enjoyed their routine : ) and the music was a great choice!!

[kaimullins22]

I loved it!

I personally thought that this dance should of won!

[rachel1175]

Love it! think it was brilliant!

[walshly]

I'm Irish myself but I must say the UK deserved to do way better than they did. Poland were the best though.

[LegoDudez]

Ahhhhhh! The roling stones have popidised!

[reidacus]

do you know the name of this song please?

[PeteMP1992]

Well its the Rolling Stones and its called "Paint It Black"

[SaxyLexx]

It's a cover version by Lee Mead - I checked after they performed, cause it was bugging me :)

[hardylass101]

original - rolling stones

[dogzcalledlibby]

i love the song! They did better than the singing contest XD

[Yevdokimova]

I know...and I'm very glad...to see Poland at the first place...it was a great performance...

[Yevdokimova]

I like it...But I think that Denmark wins...though I wish that it was Russia of course...

[JMietser]

poland wins

[kittyzrule08]

Why didn't we win?

[seanthegreat183]

we shouldn't have we definately weren't the best. Eurovision dance contest isn't rigged because there isn't the eastern block. that's why i like it

[aduffy666]

isn't rigged? Hell, didi you look at the scores? Neighbour countries voted for neighbour countrties. It's only because there was barely over a dozen countries entering the dance contest the scores were shared a little bit more fairly so as not to look completely biased. But poland was great, i do think it's good they won.

[candybitch]

nono...thats what its like now in these contests...its all political....eurovision song contest is the same...which is y its not as popular as it used 2 b coz its so predicable

[aduffy666]

The only reason i still watch is cuz i still enjoy watching the performances. But it's such a shame to the countries besides the uk that don't get the marks they deserve.

[bamberrr]

because the rest of europe are jelous tht we always do better thn thm in things like the olyimpics where they have to be judged fairly so when it comes to things like this where there is unfair judgin we neva do aswell

[hardylass101]

it's not jealousy bamberrr, it's politics ad it stinks

[saraju12]

I think the music is "Paint It Black" by the rolling stones

[messedup3000]

this is a cover though not an original

[musicallover92]

its lee mead singing not the rolling stones!

[ILAGNA]

This dance was gr8!!

What this music though??

[cenarocks2]

Paint it black- Lee Mead

[ILAGNA]

Thanx =)

[TeenageStateOfMind]

1.50 - the cameraman stacked it??

[moorhams]

34/48? I was disappointed with the score. I thought Louisa and Vincent did better than that.

[jaradoref]

It did deserve more points from the judges, but I think it was a lack of national element that gave us lower scores.

[deanobrown2006]

i aint avin a go at u but that is b*llocks!

what has michael jackson dancing got to do with Poland?

the judges were ther purely to "judge" the dances on "dancing" and for some reason they marked this one of the lowest!! they are a joke.

[twinklekl]

That was awsome!

I bet the other countries were way jealous especially as Louisa isnt famous for dancing but is still amazing

[planetblue92]

UK/GB is hated by most of europe lol.

I think they're just jealous of our sexiness

[paulmitton880]

Vincent is Italian! Many of our favourite sexy dancers on Strictly come dancing aren't English. So what are the others jealous of exactly?

[smallweights]

rubbish, glasvegas should represent the uk in eurovision & take the win

[TimmyGreyscale]

Fffff Judges points made me puke.

We're just disliked in Europe so we never win.

It's like we have to be doubly as good as the other acts to get any votes at all.

Jealousy? I think so.

[pixie29182]

Some points, louisa looked abit nervous

but we did really well

But we did deserve more points than we got!

[glamourousmakeup]

if the uk didnt take part there would be no eurovision at all cos we pay for it

[justanotherrainbow]

@glamourousmakeup If the UK didn't take part there would still be Eurovision- although it is one of the biggest contributors, it would not be missed as all the other countries together can perfectly still make Eurovision happen!

[thesaxonfiles]

that was brilliant!

[mazzandfifi]

ninth is good for us... it's eurovision... they all vote for their bordering countries... and since we're an island....

[JenAnistonRockz]

They were AMAZING!!

Loved the ending

[shivamdesai25]

poland were sik

[JenAnistonRockz]

I agree

[mazzalfc]

Come on the UK!

[VrtyBrtn]

Too many lifts, not enough dancing. I swear they went back to the jive routine they used in Strictly...

[smokiezj]

we should have bloody won this we were the most technically diffcult had clean lines and were in time with one another fuckin poland were shit xxxxx

[dogwithagun1]

great dance. shuda won

[RevengeHitokage]

lol they suck, get 2 professionals... not someone from strictly come dancing xD

[jaradoref]

That is not allowed. It must be one professional and one ameteur

[RevengeHitokage]

oh, i didnt realise there were rules and stuff xD

[Jacobyte93]

oh dear. louisa lytton IS an amateur, goes to show how good she is, and how fgd our entry was. shame it didnt get many points, but at least it recieved points from most countries.

[RIPdementia]

I refuse to believe that those are the the best two dancers in the UK, and that that was the best routine anyone could think of. I mean, they didn't dance badly, but they weren't particularly good either, and the choreography in my opinion was verging on the abysmal. There were good moments, but the lifts reminded me of someone swinging a toddler around in the park. I liked the song choice though. I didn't watch this so I don't know where we came, but I'm betting it wasn't particularly high. :(

[sionzi93]

it's coz everyone had to have a proffetional and someone who was famous for something other than dancing that's why louise lytton was in it!

[MasterIan06]

i didn't get to watch it in the end. Who won?

what place did we come?

ty

[kp2ni]

Poland won and the Uk came 9th

[mikezdaman]

9th out of how many countries?

[dogwithagun1]

polond won uk 9th

[mikezdaman]

9th out of how many?

[Hazzoufc]

Ninth out of 14.

[mikezdaman]

cheers

[xXxXxcozzaxXxXx]

Poland won and deserved it they were amazing ! united kingdom came 9th !!

but at least we got further up the table then we did in the singing contest XD

[zentaaki]

It;s not really dancing though.

[dogwithagun1]

lmao yes it is! dont u no anything?

[zentaaki]

no I dont

[joodude]

I liiiiiiiiiiiiike!
