This is what I missed when I stopped watching SCD for 3 years? Huh. Thank God!

[Bleeded]

Dear lord this was bad... semi-finals? dunno about other dances, but i certainly hope it was alot better then this lol ....

[MsLadyKay79]

omg!!!! this was SUPER HOT!!!!

[Cuotita]

How dare you calling this Argentine Tango??? This is nothing like Argentine Tango, not even close. Please do not ever even compare it to the real Argentine Tango.

[paullishiwei]

What's the background music? It's so nice.

[amicka75]

what a shame... I'm ashame of seing that called tango..

[curlyhairfreak30]

shes kind of like bristol plain but better

[ElectroMarkos]

Argentina!

[joeseatat]

WOAH!!! HER DRESS!!! ...O_O

[rocketgirl196]

chris should've left instead of ali, she was better than him, ali and ricky would'v made an interesting final!

[fizzy066]

anyone know where I can re-watch this dance fully? (with the VT and scores added)

thanks xx

[lippy88lizzy]

I was rooting for Ali & Bri all the way, but I could full on *FEEL* her nerves that night!

But I was pleased they brought it back with their American Smooth later on :-)

[strictlyrocks]

i think this is amazing.

she looks stunning and brian as usually looks hot xx

[ania12498]

Ricky Whittle should have left instead of Ali

[EggyFart]

yeh, and stop dissing team lemonade aswell, fs

[gilliansimpson8]

Aye guys fs

Ali and Brian were brill and jesus gonna stop dissing cola as well ! they were both fab final woulda been more interseting with team cola and team awesome. Probs the only reason ricky got through is cause ppl think hes fit, somehow i don't see the fitness there.

SO LEAVE ALI&BRIAN AND CHRIS&OLA ALONE ! fs mahnn

[EggyFart]

I agree with gilliansimpson8, . I mean fgs, id like to see you dance infront of millions, its not easy? so stop critising other people, farmerned6, when you are obviously having a nervous breakdown.

[k8clavey]

Does anyone know the name of this song? thank you :)

[LeoAGN]

@k8clavey The song is : "Pa Bailar"

[Mikailamylove]

Woa, she looks so nervous, it even shows on her face! Why, oh why, Ali? Why stressing so much over it? Supposedly you should be enjoying it :( !

[sr625212]

what a music! I love that! what is the name of this piece?

[MrPetkan]

Orquestra Del Plata - Pa Bailar

[farmerned6]

for my money ali is clearly nervous, and its destroying the flow of the routine

The judge's over-scored them for this routine

resulting in COLA getting the sympathy vote

[gilliansimpson8]

@farmerned6 shut it wouldn't yu b nervous dancing in front of millions ! ?

Jesus just leave them alone

[farmerned6]

@gilliansimpson8 & efart

Anyone would be nervous dancing on strictly

but Ali's a pro actress used to performing in front of an audience, this is a semi-final and she's got first night nerves ,

Rick and Ali were both better dancers than Chris,

were the judges pets, and had best of the points and praise,

Joe Public however doesn't like the judges playing favorites

and everyone loves a tri-er

PS

if you two want yelp like a pair of kicked cats try actualy expressing one a about the clip

[gilliansimpson8]

@farmerned6 wth yu talking about ?

Everyone gets nerves actress or not, its natural. So just all give her a break, she did her best

And the judges didn't have a favourite, they just though ali and ricky were good dancers and chris charisma for the dances he produced was good. And excuse me, ur the yelping cat moaning about it. I was just stating facts and my opinions, no need to go mental at it. Tbh, i don't care what yu think

[rocketgirl196]

i really like ali, and i think she should have gone through instead of chris, but this wasnt that good

[Sashastube]

She doesn't look nervous to me. She just looks a bit unsteady on her feet at times.

[jjava83]

i didn't really watch one dance of Ali's when i didn't think she would lose balance and fall over so i think your point is well made. car crash dancing if ever i saw it. i'm not sure if it was nerves of what it was but if it was you shouldn't have nerves at this point in the competition and still expect to get through even if the judges were trying to overmark to give you that little bit more confidence in your performance which i don't think ever materialized unfortunately

[LuluLovesYouMore]

I think they really should've gone through instead of Chris but this Argentine Tango wasn't her finest hour.

I'm so sorry Ali fans

Backing Ricky now <3

[BurgundyBag]

I agree. She was very very nervous and it was obvious. She was way too stiff all through her body (well I say she was stiff because I know how flexible and fluid her body is, so this looked stiff for her. Although it still looked more fluid than Chris's hips during his rumba!). I felt really bad for her. The make up and the big hair didn't really suit her either.

[cheshiredancer]

Ive danced to this music but can't rememeber what it's called ??? does anyone know ????????

[jjava83]

it is listed in the video description.

"Pa Bailar" by the Bajofondo Tango Club

[SamMitchell90]

I do love the Argentine Tango!

Kind of shocked but not suprised to see them out.

[faj11]

i cant beleive theyre out!! theyre my fave strictly couple ever!! theyre such good dancers, they should have won!!!

[themightymouth]

This "Argentine Tango" is CRAP. Ali is as stiff as a board (dancing like a corpse)

She is a trained balerina, so we should expect better ballroom performances from her.

Her Latin dances are too soft, timid, and passion-free.

The biased judges were hugely overmarking her

The female celebrities never seem to "pull their weight", during the dances: but are content to be led around the floor like hound dogs!

Well done, Chris. You deserve your final place.

Ali = BORING!

[Mikailamylove]

Couldn't have agreed more.

[faj11]

how so is she a trained ballerina? so she probably did it at school it doesnt make her an expert at it! i did dance at school im not a professional now am i?

of course it was easier for Chris to do the argentine tango, Ola was doing most of the technical moves.

[themightymouth]

You make some valid points: I wasn't "blown away" by Chris's A Tango either.

In view of the fact that Ali & Brian are dating, there never seemed to be much raw passion or "spice" in their dances; The reason for this, is that Brian lacks the RAW MASCULINE EDGE that is needed to awake a womans passions.

Also, I trust the public vote, as opposed to the judges marks; because the judges get paid to comment, whereas the public must pay their own money to vote for whom they want to see return.

[themightymouth]

Please watch (on you tube) Austin Healy & Erins Paso doble' or their Tango; or Mark Ramprakash & Karen Hardys Argentine Tango: and you will get a sense of two people dancing with stirring passion, romantic intent, and a "belly full of fire". . . Wow; those dances rock, because REAL MEN are leading and in command!

Ali and Brian are simply two very nice people who have SOME good dance techniques, but cannot portray a convincing performance.

At least, Chris tried to entertain the viewers.

[clawcarboy18]

@themightymouth i couldnt agree more, also their choreo is way too much based on the rythm, instead of the music, as is usual in Argentine tango.

[GraceCountsTheMinute]

Really should not be out.
