This is why I'll never complain about having celebs with previous dance experience on the show. We get routines like THIS. Absolutely outstanding. Easily the dance of the series so far.
i can't lie this routine gives me CHILLS! Perfectly executed, Faye Tozer, no longer are you Faye from Steps but you and now Faye Tozer, Contemporary Jazz showgirl!
This was amazing to watch and I couldn't agree with you more this definitely deserved to be 40 but leave it Craig to always give his 9 paddle when he even enjoyed it. Remember Rachel Stevens and Vincent Simones Rumba that deserved a 40 but Craig gave them a 9 when the others gave it a 10 does he have a 10 paddle underneath that desk? This was the dance of the night for me. 😎
Just watched the results show. Apparently it was because her glasses were lose at one point and in theatre you have to be confident with props. But I totally agree it deserved 40
Deirdre Phelann The glasses adjustment at 1:20 is what Craig was referring to. They slipped slightly so Faye raised her hand. Bit petty of Craig to mark her down for that but typically he doesn’t start giving 10s until Blackpool so not really a surprise.
Absolutely BRILLIANT! I wasn't expecting to find such good jazz choreography! So many steps, coupled with the chilling chemistry and nightmarish feel created a WONDERFUL routine. It was bone-chilling, while keeping that Jazzy flair about it. I am SPEECHLESS. This was absolutely on par with her fabulous quickstep, or maybe even higher! An absolute 10!!!!!
This was pretty damn good. I wasn’t ready for any of that. Love the synchronization and the execution. This dance finally made me want Faye to stay in the competition.. Giovanni use this week as a push to deliver outstanding choreography like u did last season.. loved it.. 10
Kirsty Rosie ikr there’s so many potential champions in the lineup aswell I mean I can definitely think of four couples that could win it this year so it’s going to be a tough competition in the next few weeks
One of the best dances I have ever seen on strictly from the arms to the footwork to the lifts to the spins to the tricks to the emotion to the grace. Loved the wee steps on the floor and she has to make it to the final, definatly in my top 10 favourite ever dances *10/10* wish I had a 11
Oh my goodness a Jazz Routine with noticeable Jazz Steps in it!!! In America, our couples for some reason have a hard time with putting noticeable steps in it, but with Faye and Giovanni’s Routine it had plenty of content and she mastered it perfectly! I’m really proud of her!! ⭐️
This dance was chilling. I'd love to learn this myself. Honestly, everything about this was so professional, reminds me a little of cats the musical for some reason
Oh, I love watching SYTYCD Jazz routine, and this one does NOT disappoint. Faye is clearly the other ringer of the competition, and this style fits her like a glove. So slick, chic and sophisticated. It’s like a Halloween version of the musical Cats. Love the Fosse stylization. It’s worthy of a final showdance at an SYTYCD level. I don’t know how to score a Jazz routine but I like it so much I am going to give it a 9.5!
@@alishaw3627 Can't agree more. But more so, I think theme week is a double-edged sword. You obviously want to embrace the strong stylisation, but if you fail on the techniques, it's very jarring and obvious, especially now we are entering into the second half of the competition, where the judges are going to get pickier and pickier by the week on techniques...
@@PickeledOnion1 I did folk dancing as a child for several years and nothing else. I am trained in classical music (piano) but I won't consider in any way shape or form as a dancer. I just love everything SCD since its inception in 2004. The techniques are all 'acquired' from watching Len's masterclass, pros' choreography critiques and them commentating on celebs' progress in training during the ITT segments on weeknights. I never missed an episode of ITT and after close to a decade and a half of faithfully watching ITT and the SCD main show listening the pros comments on the routines, you tend to pick up things along the way...
Jazz is all about Bob Fosse moves and, for me, she NAILED THIS DANCE!! It was really SUPERB and magnificent!! Great musicality, fabulous choreography, fantastic synchronization, it had plenty of content, plenty different intricate steps and nuances and she coped AMAZIGLY WELL. IT WAS A TOP CLASS JAZZ routine!! The choreography, the song, her technique, her lines, her acting - it all came together and created a MAGNIFICENT number !! A 10!!!
This is about the one billionth time I’ve watched this but I’m only commenting now idk why. Her timing was brilliant, the way she stayed in sync with Giovanni the whole time was incredible, the lifts were amazing and there wasn’t any unnecessary moves in there. The bit where Craig complained that she had to push her sunglasses up when they fell down a little really didn’t effect the dance at all and shouldn’t mean that he takes a point away. In my opinion I thought that it made the dance look even better. 10
Excellent. Her rhythm and swing were phenomenal. Giovanni’s creativity in the choreography to this dance is impeccable and he picked the right dance for her. This really gave me fever. It was so precise and artistic that I was in complete awe. The musicality was brilliant in helping her moves too. However, not every dance is perfect. She did stumble on the transition into the splits and the dismounting of Giovanni on the upside down lift. There was also one move unsynchronised when it was supposed to be. These are tiny details, though - I still believe this dance was a phenomena. 9.
I haven’t even been the biggest fan of Faye, but my favourite dance of the series and I doubt anything will top this. That Fosse technique. All of the intricacies and subtleties. This is why there should be couples choice on strictly. I can’t explain how much I loved this. Perfection.
Each week Faye and Giovanni bring a refreshingly different style and character to the dancefloor with amazing aplomb which is why people should vote her all the way to the final
Mind blowing at the time and no less so watching it again now. In fact, the more I watch it, the more I see that is impressive. There was a moment, near the beginning, where Faye is on pointe standing with Giovanni behind her and she is alternating one foot to the other and it's amazing to see. This routine is in a league of it's own, it really is. Whenever I see it again, I love it even more than I did before. 👍💖🤗♥️
It's nice to see Giovanni maintaining the boundaries because we can certainly see Faye wants to keep it respectful to her other half and family... Total professional!
Such a slick and fun routine! This couple's choice addition is one of the best things to happen to strictly, and love the lady gaga 'born this way' outfits!
My favourite dance I've ever seen on Strictly
MadMaze hniideyhhbohpbhi*huihuihubiypgu
It's definitely up there for me, too! 😍
Yeah same
Agree
maisie i agree
This is why I'll never complain about having celebs with previous dance experience on the show. We get routines like THIS. Absolutely outstanding. Easily the dance of the series so far.
ScarecrowHuggins yh
Not fair
It's not like it's unfair that she is American and an ex-professional...
@@Megan-wd1ph im sorry i know this is last years but ashley is the american not faye
Katniss and if she was American that puts her at a disadvantage because she will get less votes
Now THAT is a couple's choice. No props, no CFI, no faff. Just dance steps which fit brilliantly with the music. The audience reaction says it all.
Its 2023 and I'm still rewatching this dance
2024 and I’m still here watching it ❤😊
This is definitely one of my favourites - it was so stylish
Favourite in our century definitely
Absolute class
Yes just add a Masterpiece!!!
Giooooo is not just fabulous dancer!!!
i can't lie this routine gives me CHILLS! Perfectly executed, Faye Tozer, no longer are you Faye from Steps but you and now Faye Tozer, Contemporary Jazz showgirl!
Robyn Austin cant agree enough ! Faye from Steps or Faye the showgirl!
Robyn Austin 🍟
This was absolutely amazing. I loved seeing it again last night in the final. Luckily her Sunglasses didn't fall off last night
So stylish and should have been the winner instead of Stacey.
It’s 2020 and this is still one of THE BEST Strictly dances ever.
Edit: It’s 2021 and this still applies.
Edit: 2022, still applies.
2021 now friend
And this is why I came here to watch it again... Giovanni is a god with his choreography =D (And he's not bad to look at either hehe)
2022 and I totally agree
She should have won Strictly. Brilliant performance
Tony Adams: "Hold my beer"
I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of watching this
I can watch this over and over. The technique is beautiful.
Leave Britain alone
Clearly the dance of the night
As a jazz dancer, I am shocked to see how many jazz moves they managed to squeeze in here ! It’s extraordinary!
One of my fave dances ever on SCD.
Best dance of the night by far! Deserved 40!
This was amazing to watch and I couldn't agree with you more this definitely deserved to be 40 but leave it Craig to always give his 9 paddle when he even enjoyed it. Remember Rachel Stevens and Vincent Simones Rumba that deserved a 40 but Craig gave them a 9 when the others gave it a 10 does he have a 10 paddle underneath that desk? This was the dance of the night for me. 😎
Just watched the results show. Apparently it was because her glasses were lose at one point and in theatre you have to be confident with props. But I totally agree it deserved 40
LifeAsAva hi I totally agree I don't know where Craig was going with the 9 it definitely deserved a ten. I didn't see any problems with the glasses
Deirdre Phelann The glasses adjustment at 1:20 is what Craig was referring to. They slipped slightly so Faye raised her hand. Bit petty of Craig to mark her down for that but typically he doesn’t start giving 10s until Blackpool so not really a surprise.
LifeAsAva yes, someone broke her glasses. Has to wear contacts until she gets a new pair....
Giovannis ‘YAAASSSS’ at the end makes me 😂
I still come back to watch this quite often
To this day the best couple’s choice on strictly.
Absolutely BRILLIANT! I wasn't expecting to find such good jazz choreography! So many steps, coupled with the chilling chemistry and nightmarish feel created a WONDERFUL routine. It was bone-chilling, while keeping that Jazzy flair about it. I am SPEECHLESS. This was absolutely on par with her fabulous quickstep, or maybe even higher! An absolute 10!!!!!
I hold my breath every time I watch this! Its just so good!
At 1:10 it’s a bit weird 😹😹😹
Gio is so over the top
how did they not win i cant stop thinking about it and going back to it
It's 2021 and I regularly re-watch this number.
ITS 2019 AND THIS IS STILL THE BEST HALLOWEEN DANCE EVER
it’s 2020 and this is still the best halloween dance ever
@Abby M Partly because there was no Halloween show in 2020 lol
Well it’s 2021 and next week we’ll find out if Giovanni can be the Halloween king again
@@georgiemayslack he did it!
Got the first ever 40 on a Halloween week show. Safe to say Gio’s still the Halloween King.
It's 2021 and Giovanni is LONG overdue a Strictly win! Voting for him and Rose every single week - keeping everything crossed that this is his year!!
I miss 2018 when we got routines like this
The stand out couples choice routine for me. So stylishly and effortlessly brilliant. I'm watching in 2023 💃🕺
me too, 2 weeks after you!!! my all time favourite!!
Back here in 2020 to relive this, never seen a better dance on Strictly.
this routine will forever be in my top favourites
I can't stop coming back to this.
This was pretty damn good. I wasn’t ready for any of that. Love the synchronization and the execution. This dance finally made me want Faye to stay in the competition.. Giovanni use this week as a push to deliver outstanding choreography like u did last season.. loved it.. 10
Don’t agree preferred Ashley
Honestly cannot stop watching this
That deserved 4, 10's like c'mon that was so good
My favourite dance so far this series in absolute awe it was incredible
Kirsty Rosie ikr there’s so many potential champions in the lineup aswell I mean I can definitely think of four couples that could win it this year so it’s going to be a tough competition in the next few weeks

2 years on and I’m still watching this dance - my favourite ever on strictly
This is one of the best strictly Halloween routines, good choreography Giovanni...
This dance was chilling. I'd love to learn this myself. Honestly, everything about this was so professional, reminds me a little of cats the musical for some reason
Yeah, it reminds me of the Mungojerry/ Rumpelteaser song/ routine
yea we’re learning this dance in school for b-tec dance
I know I'm super late but I believe this dance was inspired by Bob Fosse - check out his dance 'The Rich Man's Frug' and you'll see what I mean
forgot how much I loved this dance and now I’m 2 hours deep into a strictly TH-cam binge send help
same!
Wonderful never tire of watching it. Xxx

SCD Observer it was wonderful! This is how to do Halloween. Feel sorry for the couples with bad music choices and dodgy costumes!

Hi I enjoy reading your comments on every video and was just wondering if you are a dancer yourself and if so what type of dance do you do?

SCD Observer that deserved a 10
Faye was easily the best dancer that year and she was robbed of the title.
This is one of Strictly's best dances ever
Jazz is all about Bob Fosse moves and, for me, she NAILED THIS DANCE!! It was really SUPERB and magnificent!!

spot on not ONE mistake she is defo a finalist
One tiny positive from not having a large studio audience is that dances aren’t interrupted by all the annoying whooping and hollering.
Amazing !
I’ve only been watching Strictly for 5 years, but this is up there with the best I’ve ever seen. Should’ve been a 40
Wonderful.
This dance was amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it
This looked SO COOL!
I agree with all the other comments. This was just magnificent and hypnotic. She is magnificent. He is magnificent. See you in the final, guys ✌🏻
Simply incredible
I still think they should have won that year
This is about the one billionth time I’ve watched this but I’m only commenting now idk why.

In my opinion I thought that it made the dance look even better. 10
Literally can't stop watching this! The part where she holds her plait at 1:32 is my favourite bit
Faye is doing AMAZING!!!!
The best strictly dance ever
This is a clear 10 from me!!
Utterly brilliant.
Just can't keep my eyes off of Faye. I mean, I knew that anyway, but still. So good, and I'm glad the judges scores reflected that.
what was their score?
@@lenabondarenko3255 39 - 9 from Craig. 10 from all the others
Their 39 put them equal top of the leaderboard with Ashley & Pasha (who also received 9 from Craig, 10s from the other judges.)
The first time I watched this, I GOT LITERAL CHILLS
1 week later and I'm still *shook* about how good this is💕
i could watch this dance again and again
*OBSESSED*
Dance of the night! Best dance of the series so far! 10! Loved it!
maisie o'shaughnessy her glasses from 1:19 - 1:22 moving was the only thing that caused them to get a score of 39 instead of a perfect 40.
Actually my favourite dance ever on strictly!
This dance is so instantly iconic ! Deserved 40. Their Viennese waltz was amazing too. But this gave me chills. FLAWLESS!
They deserved to win!!!!
Brilliant, nothing less.💯👏
Excellent. Her rhythm and swing were phenomenal. Giovanni’s creativity in the choreography to this dance is impeccable and he picked the right dance for her. This really gave me fever.

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC MY FAVOURITE OF LAST NIGHT
By far the best dance of the night...infact this is probably the best dance of the series so far I would say 👏🏻♥️
Oh my god! That's the best performance of the season .. ever! 😱😍👏
Best dance this year
One of the best dances ive ever seen
I haven’t even been the biggest fan of Faye, but my favourite dance of the series and I doubt anything will top this. That Fosse technique. All of the intricacies and subtleties. This is why there should be couples choice on strictly. I can’t explain how much I loved this. Perfection.
Incredible choreography
Ooooh! Next stop, the finals? Wow! I’ll never get bored of this!
Performance of the night for me definitely a 10. Faye deserved 40/40
Each week Faye and Giovanni bring a refreshingly different style and character to the dancefloor with amazing aplomb which is why people should vote her all the way to the final
My fav contestant . My fav dance. EVER
It looked like they enjoyed every second of this performance.
I can’t get over how cool this routine is!
So happy about this new ‘couple’s choice’ really brought out the hidden skill Faye has - well done! Defiantly a dance to remember!
Goosebumps!!! Brilliant! Amazing Faye and Giovanni!
Why can’t I stop watching this????😍😍😍
this is one of the best dances ever , the choreography of it was great 😁😁😁

Mine favorite, love this dance
Outstanding!
The best dance I've ever seen on Strictly. I want to give it an 11.
Wow. Perfectly synchronized. As Bruno said - very Bob Fosse, and Broadway ready too - amazing!
This is my fav dance on Strictly ever! I cant stop watching it!
It's nice to see Giovanni maintaining the boundaries because we can certainly see Faye wants to keep it respectful to her other half and family... Total professional!
Absolutely Perfection!!
This dance is outstanding and Faye is by far the best celeb to not win strictly. What a tragedy!!!!! I could watch this over and over
Best dance of the season hands down. Brilliant.
That was amazingly smooth. Amazing job so far.
Such a slick and fun routine! This couple's choice addition is one of the best things to happen to strictly, and love the lady gaga 'born this way' outfits!
An Yo we
honestly loved this
i can't stop watching this !!
