This was just phenomenal. It’s incredible that they can produce such wonderful performances, when Chris has no visual frame of reference to learn the choreography and techniques.
You just can't stop smiling when you watch this and any of Cris and Dianne's other dances. The pure joy at the end from Dianne is just special. Semi-finalists? You got my vote.
These two can do no wrong! This dance was fantastic! Give them the trophy now and give Dianne a special award for her choreography and her patience! Words aren’t enough! Wonderful!
Score - *9* Usually the judges are very generous with Chris but thought they were harsh tonight, okay his frame wasnt as good as his American Smooth, but this was his most technically demanding routine yet and he didn't put a step wrong, the footwork was perfect, the hopscotch and pendeulum was perfect and his locksteps were fantastic. I don't think the judges gave enough credit here for getting into character and bringing the musical to life because they said it for everyone else but ignored it for these two, Dianne is so sweet for admitting she went wrong, bless her, they're such a great partnership 💕
Generous with Chris? Are we watching the same show? He's been way undermarked every week (and at the bottom of leaderboard several times), except for Blackpool where he scored 37.
@@pennyandfishy7241 The times they are generous with Chris are also the times they are even more generous with the other contestants. I always look at the total leaderboard score and praise on its own means nothing (still fresh how Craig said that their People's Choice was a musical-level performance and gave them a 7)
Dianne I love how your joy and immense proudness comes out at the end of the dance. Honestly watching you and Chris dance is so joyful and makes me teary eyed every time. This had everything, I love the playful acting from Chris and especially seeing him get lifted!! 😂😂 he looked so happy during that dance and his footwork is so immaculate The judges may not have your backs but we do. It’s not as some claim a “sympathy vote”… it’s inspiration, overcoming adversity, hard work, fun and overall a wonderful friendship vote ❤❤❤
They keep under marking them 😮 that dance was absolutely amazing 😁 they stun me every week, my winners for the glitter ball!! 💃🕺 All my votes for them 👍🏻🤩🏴
@@helenaMe325 7, 8, 8, 9 for a total of 32. Anton (who gave the 9) said that for him it was so close to being a 10 but he had to dock a mark for his right arm dropping.
This routine was imperfectly perfect for me. Full of joy and pretty fun, the judges were too hard. I love them so much, they deserve to be in the finals!
Amazing, I loved every second. ❤ Thank you so much Chris, I absolutely love watching you dance, you're like a breath of fresh air week in & week out. You also put a massive smile on my face . Keep going & blessed be Chris & the amazing wonderful beautiful Dianne ❤🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely patronising, deferred for someone because of the disability. Rose was a beautiful dancer. She deserved to win. Chris isn’t a fantastic dancer.
He's had no dance training. He's never seen the dances performed. He can't see his professional for visual cues. "Not a good dancer" - really? His frame is not perfect but his footwork is always impeccable. The standard has been very high this year with Montel, Tasha, Sara and JB all reaching levels that would see them as strong contenders to win in any season. But what we are watching every week from Chris and Dianne is absolutely extraordinary, almost superhuman. No one, absolutely no one thought they would approach this level. I was expecting a bit of a car crash to be honest and wondered why on earth he was doing. I was wrong and am now suitably humbled and for me there can only be one winner this season. If that upsets you then you should watch professional dance competitions rather than a Saturday evening light entertainment show.
Loved this ❤ Chris just is so amazing every week Dianne deserves every accolade for what she has done to teach Chris. I really hope they go to the final 🙏 ❤
You are both amazing! I love how you do the most incredible dance routines every week. Such a joy to watch and an inspiration to us all. Well done both of you! ❤❤❤
This was outstanding. The best dance yet, such light light footwork, amazing. How Chris moved over the floor, got his timing for the bit where he was lying on the floor. Dianne's lifts and kicks, expecially at the end. Chris had to catch her and put his arms out at the exact moment. He did. His elbow just dropped for a few seconds, and that was worth deducting points? Musical week is supposed to be about musicals and interpreting the dance to the music. They both told a story. It was joyful. It was a 40 dance, no question
Every week I ask myself the same question at thw end of their dance..."how?!" How the hell do they do this! They're amazing, love watching them dance and always look forward to their routines. Chris and Diane for the win! 🎉
Firstly thank you Chris and Diane for an uplifting quickstep that brought joy, pure joy. IMO and I am going to be honest about how I feel, while Tasha and Sarah are good technical dancers and I can't take that away from them. JB, Montel have improved as the series has gone on and Pete has discovered the enjoyment of dance none of which I can take away from them either. For me none of them bring the joy that the partnership, chemistry and anticipation each week that Chris and Diane bring when I see them dance. Both Chris and Diane should stand tall in all they have achieve each week. Thank you to you both.
This dance was stunning - incredible choreography with insanely good footwork. Chris's improvement has been phenomenal and Dianne is just an absolute genius. One of my fave Strictly dances ❤
Chris is so amazing and he’s improved so much, if he’s eliminated this week. I hope he isn’t he’s still my favourite celeb this year. Chris and Diana partnership is so perfect in the competition.
What can we say about them at this point?!? FREAKING BRILLIANT! 2024 Winners right there! Even my mom is Godsmacked seeing Chris and ahe doesn't watch Strictly! I smile while I cry a bit watching every dacen! So, so, so proud!
THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY! I wish I could vote for them - cheering them on from the U.S.! The dance style fitting the theme, song, costume, personality, and Diane’s choreography ❤🥹🥰
Chris and Dianne, Epitome of Perfect Imperfection. Quote Kevin Clifton: "It's not about doing nothing wrong, it's about doing something magical." Every week I see the magic. Btw: did you try to vote via cellphone?
Got the 1920's 30's vibe off great , straight outta hollywood & again chris spot on with his timing & where he's supposed to be , i just dunno how he does it ,well done Di for your chreo & the way your teaching him 👏👏👏👏
Totally amazing. And totally undermarked. Wtf is wrong with the judges. Are they blind???!!! Chris and dianne you are magical and inspirational. My winners. ❤
I honestly think this was his best dance. His characterization, soft knees, impeccable footwork -- all incredible! A quick drop in posture (that lasted mere seconds) shouldn't have docked his score down to a 32! Hope the public saves him!
WINNERS 🏆💅🏻 Chris is literally doing the impossible. sorry but i fail to understand just how a man can improve THAT much in such a short amount of time. I can see the handiwork of God in Dianne. the patience, the love, the utter pride in what he is achieving and is yet to achieve. they are both incredible, beautiful people and ive said it from the beginning, they. are. going. to. win. !!!!!!
OMG you two are FABULOUS! I might be watching from the other side of the world, but honestly this still made my hair literally stand on end! (Again). Oh gosh, I can't wait to show this latest video clip to my mum. I'm not sure what your scores were but they should have all been a 10. You've made my day! You were AWESOME! Sue from NZ 😊
The way Dianne was reassuring him going up the stairs of how brilliant he was is just so heartwarming. He looked a bit deflated after the comments about his frame. As Dianne said to Claudia, “His default frame is slightly hunched as it’s been his safe place”. Makes it even more extraordinary that he has achieved what he has. They just have to win. 🪩💃🕺
@@jacquelineosullivan3076 yeah Chris looked really annoyed, his face was like ‘oh no not the frame again’ it only went for a few seconds and Shirley was right not the whole way through just a couple seconds imo, she should have given 9 because she only said one thing wrong
The only celebrity who doesn't make any excuses about his performances. And he has a, huge disadvantage to the others. They are amazing and my winners since week one. Go Chris, and Dianne x
And not whining or complaining, like some other contestants. It was quite appalling when the week after Chris's CC (and THAT VT), a fully-abled dance-trained Sarah was weeping about how she didn't get a good paying job until her mid 30-ies. I was like WHAT. Ah, and then she scored above Chris for a mediocre routine.
This was brilliant, particularly his synchronicity with the background dancers. Agreed about frame and posture, hopefully Diane can help him get to where he needs to be on that and he'll be spot on!
I'm tearing up again cos he cannot see how good he looks on the dance floor. That was sensational and sensationally undermarked again. What a partnership. Brilliant both of you.
To everyone who thinks that Chris should have done better (judges and others): just put on a blindfold and try to learn a choreography from someone you can't see. And then perform it without any reference of where you are on the dancefloor, or where the other dancers are. Chris and Dianne are my heroes for sure. Can't vote fo them outside the UK, but I'm cheering them on as much as I can!
I have watched this multiple times! The lightness of his feet, the confidence when he drops to the floor, the incredible ability of Dianne to fill her partner with confidence an the trust between th two of them! It’s a ten from me! 🏆
What can you not love ❤❤about this amazing couple. The judges obviously weren't watching what i was watching and deffo need to go to Specsavers!!! How Dianne teaches Chris to be so great is beyond me. Chris's foot work, positioning, rhythm, timing and lifts are amazing. Dianne should be renamed Dame Dianne for all the hard work, commitment and the genuine love that she brings to dance and to inclusion for all. Yous are deffo THE TOP!!!...the top of your game!!! Keeeeeep being amazing our 2024 Strictly champions. 🎉🎉 XX p.s PLEASE KEEEEEEP VOTING. ❤❤ XX
I think this might be the best dance he’s done. It was quick and bouncy, the comedy was really well integrated and he coped really well even with the background dancers who could be quite unnoticeable at times for him. Honestly, he did amazingly. 9
They should win really ! Also as a previous non dancer I believe this is what the show is about. Others have a dance background, so never so impressive. These two are the winners of the show for me this year.
@DIannebuswell you have such a happy demeanour - I get excited for you every time you finish a dance let alone the dance itself! Brilliant job to both of you and Chris!
‘Strictly’ has taken a ‘pasting’ from all sides this past months….Chris and Diane have given back some credibility to the programme! Great couple!! Pat R.
Just so undermarked and anton and Craig were so rude to him and very snarky And Dianne went wrong not Chris like seriously they always like to assume patronise and pick on chris I’ll be giving you my votes though as usual ❤
Our scores: Me: 9 Diya: 8 Kelsey: 8 Owen: 9 34/40 Frame (again) and one or two mistakes, but THATS IT. I’ve seen people say they think the judge’s have forgotten Chris is blind, but could you blame them? He’s absolutely fantastic, this was unbelievably difficult choreography and I once again praise Dianne for pushing him beyond what anyone (including himself) thought he was capable of doing. Very fun performance, and I’m interested to see how he’ll deal with 2 performances next week.
Can people stop going on about his frame like they know what it means because they’ve heard the judges say it… without being able to see you aren’t ever going to have the perfect frame but in his case it’s irrelevant as the boy can dance and what he is achieving should be blowing everybody’s minds!! Blindfold yourself and just walk into the kitchen to get something.. now try learning a fricking dance routine.
I have no idea what they mean..... To me, Chris is absolutely brilliant. To learn what he has in such short time frames. I couldn't do it and I am not blind. He is an amazing dancer and to get to amazing from zero is an enormous achievement.
Thank you, yes! It's well know that people with vision impairment will stoop forwards to protect themselves, he's had sight issues since he was 6 years old, it's probably impossible for his skeleton to stand bolt upright by this point!
Now that was Chris's best since the Couple's Choice. Wow, I thought it was good, but it surprised me and just go real great! He hasn't had that great of technique since the Couple's Choice. I liked the Paso, but Chris is a Ballroom boy!
They are both remarkable & deserve to win he's determined to live a normal life & Dianne is a genius helping him to do something so special. When I hear some of the judges cruel comments I want to tell them to wear a blindfold for a week ,then you can walk in his shoes
Wow I absolutely loved the Quickstep by Chris and Dianne to the musical song You're the Top from the musical Anything Goes alongside the dancers which was absolutely brilliant and amazing and I absolutely loved it. Got alot of my votes. Chris and Diannne will definitely go through to the final and to win, win, win, win the Glitterball Trophy.😀👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🕺💃🏆
Year after year I hear the judges tell the make celebs they aren't leading their partner. Chris was leading & there's no hesitation in his approach. He is amazing
My fav dance we have done ❤ you are a superstar !
that was awesome made me smile and cry you are both amazing xxxxx
Loved this! 🥰
You two are like Fred and ginger ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was brilliant! He was gliding across the dancefloor! You truly are the Queen of Quickstep! Love you both!
Kia Ora from New Zealand - thank you for bringing sunshine into our lives
genuinely each week i'm disbelief, how is dianne teaching it and how is he learning it. it's just incredible
This was just phenomenal. It’s incredible that they can produce such wonderful performances, when Chris has no visual frame of reference to learn the choreography and techniques.
BRILLIANT choreography from Dianne - phenomenal!!
Choreo was out of this world
You just can't stop smiling when you watch this and any of Cris and Dianne's other dances. The pure joy at the end from Dianne is just special. Semi-finalists? You got my vote.
Dancing is incredibly hard if you have full sight. This man is just incredible. What an inspiration he is.
This was incredible! Chris and Dianne amaze me every week and his dancing has improved beyond belief! I'd be so happy if they won the competition! ❤❤
This was absolutely his best dance, and it was definitely under marked. That was just so much fun, and I'm just still so amazed by him. Well done!
I agree, his best dance. So light on his feet.
Yeah probably his best dance 👍🎶.
@@GreenGrass-l7I hope they win incredible I think Diane has done an excellent job 🎉
Incredible like every week its the only dance that makes me smile from start to finish my winners xx
Lovely , always a joy to watch Chris dance ❤
dianne you are a superstar so kind and caring ,could watch you and Chris all night ,please vote for them to win the glitter ball they deserve it xxxx❤
This was pure joy! Bravo Chris and Diane 👏 Absolutely loved it ❤
They are absolutely amazing in all aspects👏👏👏👏🌹
How they do it is beyond me, fantastic!
These two can do no wrong! This dance was fantastic! Give them the trophy now and give Dianne a special award for her choreography and her patience! Words aren’t enough! Wonderful!
Absolutely amazing, well done to them both….Fingers tightly crossed for the semifinal ❤
That was SO MUCH FUN!!!! ❤

Generous with Chris? Are we watching the same show? He's been way undermarked every week (and at the bottom of leaderboard several times), except for Blackpool where he scored 37.
@halflink Shirley and Anton sometimes can be generous but I would agree Craig and Motsi have been overly tough on him

Made me smile all the way through - what a joy It is to watch this man defeating the impossible!
This was crazy good. I mean how he's doing these incredible moves so quickly is unmatched. They need to win!
Such a fun routine. Chris held his frame very well and maintained body contact. Congratulations well danced.
Absolutely amazing teacher and student….brought tears to my eyes xxx❤❤❤❤
Chris and Dianne this was the best Dance yet but I find myself saying that every time they Dance !
Exactly! And that's how we can measure the improvement of Chris's dancing skills!
Dianne I love how your joy and immense proudness comes out at the end of the dance. Honestly watching you and Chris dance is so joyful and makes me teary eyed every time.

Objectively, Chris's Latin is a bit weaker than his Ballroom, but by this stage I don't care.
@ Me neither 💃🕺🏆
The joy of that. It’s so precious.
Congratulations, Chris and Dianne. Love from Ireland. Hope you win.❤❤❤❤
Absolutely amazing the best dance by far.

Disagree
He’s an inspiration sure but he’s just not a good dancer
Absolutely patronising, deferred for someone because of the disability. Rose was a beautiful dancer. She deserved to win. Chris isn’t a fantastic dancer.
@@henryriley4958 yes, it’s patronising to suggest anything else. Once again, people are good at dancing, are not going to win.

They are both remarkable & deserve to win he's determined to live a normal life & Dianne is a genius helping him to do something so special. When I hear some of the judges cruel comments I want to tell them to wear a blindfold for a week ,then you can walk in his shoes
Wow I absolutely loved the Quickstep by Chris and Dianne to the musical song You're the Top from the musical Anything Goes alongside the dancers which was absolutely brilliant and amazing and I absolutely loved it. Got alot of my votes. Chris and Diannne will definitely go through to the final and to win, win, win, win the Glitterball Trophy.😀👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🕺💃🏆
Definitely win win win Please vote vote for them 1 week more to go 🙏🏻🏆
Year after year I hear the judges tell the make celebs they aren't leading their partner. Chris was leading & there's no hesitation in his approach. He is amazing
My winners for sure x ❤
