I go to watch a lot of 'real' flamenco and I like all sorts of interpretations of the paso, although a well-performed 'traditional' one is always a joy.
I say it every week, what incredible choreography from Michelle. What a dance I absolutely adored it, I could happily watch this over and over and would never get bored. My first 10/10
This guy should go all the way to The Final! I couldn't tell the difference between him & the Professional dancer - we (at home) applauded at the end of this dance! Fabulous, well done Jamie!
I have been waiting for Jamie and Michelle to do a dance like this and they more than delivered! This was one of my favourite paso doble's and Jamie danced it incredibly! ❤❤
This is one of the iconic Strictly dances people will look back on in future years. Absolutely perfect music for the dance which makes a huge difference to the normal over the top theatrics and overly loud music that usually accompanies the Paso's on Strictly. No need for pyro's or flashy lighting. Two people dancing brilliantly to great music is all that's required
@@MatthewBurke-hn9ch OMG yes completely forgot about Carlos and Nancy love them too! Same I Am going to the Newport show in south wales! Can’t wait! They are so amazing and light up so many people lives and Saturday nights! Love them! ♥️
I´ve watched this 3 times and I still can´t get over how brilliant it was. The shaping was off the charts! Loved the couples choice having caribbean heritage myself but this dance was the dance of the night for me!
This dance needs strength, and I got GOOSEBUMPS at how strong Jamie looks throughout this whole number! And the shaping; this is a GOOD DANCE! **edit to add Michelle’s choreo is *chef’s kids*
Score - *10* THIS WAS IT! I love the Paso so much and very rarely are there any good ones anymore but this was a statement, as soon as Jamie started with that shape I knew he was gonna eat this, there was so many impressive parts to this, the command and presence it takes to deliver that sequence from 1:35 to 1:44 as a non pro is so difficult and he made it look so easy, same at 1:16 so hard to do and it looked so easy. This is Jamie's BREAKTHROUGH no question 🙌🏻
This might be my favorite paso i have ever seen on strictly...i loved his intensity and his shaping and the drama and passion of the dance...he looks like he has put absolutely everything he has into this and it shows, he really wants to do well and i always love that enthusiasm and willingness to do well....LOVE LOVE LOVE JAMIE!!!!!!
That dance brought tears to my eyes and made me very emotional. I played it to my partner this morning and said of course I won't cry! I cried again... Absolutely beautiful 🫶
Incredible choreography!! I absolutely freaking loved it! I saw the lines the aggression. Oh just mwah for me! Fabulous! The music is really perfect as well! If I ever did this show (I wouldn’t😂) I would love to dance that! Very happy this got 10s. Well deserved!
Caught them on ITT during the week, they were worried they’d had less time for practice due to filming schedules. Not sure it could have been any better if they’d had another week to practice to be honest. Loved it
Authentic costuming, music and attitude and you're halfway there. I was so relieved with how he kept in character and maintained correct shaping and use of arms throughout the routine. The routine was clever in its simplicity to allow Jamie to dial in on the technique. In a second performance of this routine, I would love to see a stronger lead and more fluidity.
Jamie is such a nice person and real and he is amazing Dancer I Loved it hope everyone will vote for Jamie every Saturday night wish Jamie all the best in strictly 🤞 greetings from Holland ❤
Amazing! They said on it takes two that he barely had any rehearsal time because he was busy at eastenders, so I wasn’t expecting it to be this good! 👏🏻
They were also predicted to get a score of 37 if they stay on the course, and seemed a bit doubtful when Michelle realised it would mean three nines and a ten. I'm sure they were never expecting three tens and a nine instead! Well deserved too.
Our scores: Me: 10 Diya: 9 Kelsey: 10 Owen: 9 38/40 I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS. I also have like a million things to say, but at the same time I’m lost for words. What the flipping hell happened? The shaping was spot on, the drama was there, great technique and choreography. I was not expecting that, his last 2 dances have been a massive push for the final.
Yes!!! Love it! Love the absolute proper, traditional Spanish Matador Paso! Very Strictly Ballroom! Love it! Reminds me of Tom Fletcher's Paso with Amy, which did get a 10! So Jamie desevrves it! So glad Jamie is finally getting the recognition he deserves! I get they were holding him to a higher standard given the Christmas Special. Shame about no 40, but I guess if Tasha didn't get 40 last week, makes sense.
Loved it when he slid his hands under her armpits making the arms look like horns. Think maybe a lot of people missed that. Never seen that done before.
I absolutely loved this dance! I love when they do proper traditional pasos, and this choreo was gorgeous. Michelle is such a great pro! I was annoyed that they didnt pick them up on the illegal lift at the end though. They used to be so much stricter about the lift rule, and in the last couple years, theyve started ignoring them and tbh it feels unfair, especially when they penalised Pete for his illegal lift. Either penalise all illegal lifts, or none of them!
Paso is usually my least favourite dance to watch but this was amazing. Made me realise I was just watching the wrong pasos before. Stunning choreography, music was perfect and the dancing was phenomenal.
Love it when they dance to the traditional music!
Me too 👍🏽🤩
same here
and wear traditional clothing
Agree 100% just fantastic 👌

Incredible body shaping. He has tension in the body in absolutely the best sense of the word.
i swear my jaw dropped when i saw this dance - BEST 2024 dance for me❤❤❤❤
I say it every week, what incredible choreography from Michelle. What a dance I absolutely adored it, I could happily watch this over and over and would never get bored. My first 10/10
i 100% agree, i have watched it MANY times since, and it moves me every time…dance of the series for me!!!
Best dance ever!!!!! The traditional music makes it 😍
This guy should go all the way to The Final! I couldn't tell the difference between him & the Professional dancer - we (at home) applauded at the end of this dance! Fabulous, well done Jamie!
What appropriate music and costumes can do - loved it, very exciting !
💯! Some of the paso musical choices are ridiculous. This was fantastic and gave Jamie and Michelle the chance to shine ❤️
Yeah traditional Paso music 🎶 so fair play 👏.
Showing versatility, great synchronicity and a flamboyant performance. Hopefully Jamie and Michelle can dance some more weeks.
I have been waiting for Jamie and Michelle to do a dance like this and they more than delivered! This was one of my favourite paso doble's and Jamie danced it incredibly! ❤❤
Yeah, dance of the season so far. The music is exhilarating!
The best dance of the night! And the only one with appropriate music and costumes! I loved it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My favourite couple .incredible chemistry omg ❤dance of the series so far

A Strictly star is born. Jamie Bothwick is a legend

Absolutely incredible. Best paso I've seen on the show for a long time. I knew Jamie would deliver! 🎉

The best male celeb passo I've ever seen in the history of the show if not the best celeb paso of all time. Really nailed it.
What ???
@maureenfurmedge1917 sorry didn't realise the mistakes I made just edited them
most definitely!!!
This is probably one of the best Male pasos ever!
@danjon8799 there’s no probably about it….IT WAS!!! 👌🏽
This was bloody brilliant. Loved how it was traditional in all areas
Fabulous, I like to see a paso done like that to proper paso music.
This might be my favorite paso i have ever seen on strictly...i loved his intensity and his shaping and the drama and passion of the dance...he looks like he has put absolutely everything he has into this and it shows, he really wants to do well and i always love that enthusiasm and willingness to do well....LOVE LOVE LOVE JAMIE!!!!!!
Amazing ❤❤😮 His promenade and counter-promenade shaping, is honesty incredible! (And shaping in general!)
Paso-tastic!!!! Great job Jamie and Michelle 👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jamie killed it
Forget Couple's Choice - this was by far the best dance of the night! What a paso!

Everything about this dance was fantastic!
Dance of the night . incredible choreo Michelle ❤

Caught them on ITT during the week, they were worried they’d had less time for practice due to filming schedules. Not sure it could have been any better if they’d had another week to practice to be honest. Loved it
I love how he throws himself 100% into every dance
🎉 Mississippi greetings. Excellent performance 👏
Love everything about this partnership ❤
THEIR BEST DANCE BY FAR!!!! Omg yessssss!!!!

Well danced. Such passion and enjoyed the song choice for this dance.
Amazing! They said on it takes two that he barely had any rehearsal time because he was busy at eastenders, so I wasn’t expecting it to be this good! 👏🏻

In a week where a lot of the music choices were awful, this showed how much traditional music can energise a performance!
Amazing
Really enjoyed that. Well done x
Paso is usually my least favourite dance to watch but this was amazing. Made me realise I was just watching the wrong pasos before. Stunning choreography, music was perfect and the dancing was phenomenal.
Can’t believe that they got 3 10s and 1 9 from the judges
