Yes!! She got my vote! Girl needs it! Can't say I disagree with Craig, but come on! It was waaaaay better than it was made out to be. She was so in character, the shaping was brilliant! Fire and attack was just killed by the music choice. Ellie danced that incredibly well.
shirley’s scoring is actually shocking and i think it’s interesting how every year she is unnecessarily harsh towards the female contestants specifically
she tells Will twice that he's "easy on the eye!" condescending, imho!! lol!! shes always harsh on female celebrities, but this series she actually doesn't like Matt Goss either!
Ellie Taylor and Johannes Radebe next. As one of my favourites I was willing Ellie to get the Paso Doble right however it was not meant to be. I think the song is one of the best Paso Doble songs ever but because it's so overwhelmingly great whoever is dancing to it needs to be on the same level and Ellie wasn't. I do not think it is fair to give any celeb a Paso Doble this early on in the show Paso Doble needs to be saved for Blackpool or the final when the celeb's are better skilled at dancing, Ellie wasn't ready Paso Doble and it showed but Ellie can dance and I hope she with practice get better because I'm sure she can.
Score - *7/10* Susanna and Kevin memories here (quite a few reused songs tonight) I loved the intent and shaping very well extended, good chasee capes and a nice grancircle, the position at the end was gorgeous. For me, it lacked Spanish line and shape in the upper body, it was too straight and placed, I saw the connection and performance but it was just missing those finer details and fire, I would have licked more aggression but I thought it was really undermarked because the content and choreography was really really stunning and it was a lovely traditional Paso, JoJo gives good Paso, but I think Ellie is more suited to framework, maybe the exception of a Jive or Charleston? I liked this though
Can I say Ellie’s legs are absolutely gorgeous. I see a lot of potential with her she was definitely underscored for this it’s so clearly Shirley is against the female contestants she always picks a female every series to undermark and be harsh towards.
Score: 6 She seems better at ballroom. She got part of the technique aspect down, but she did kinda walk through a fair bit of it. She needs to give a bit more conviction to the routine. The fact that Shirley marked this lower than Tony is a CRIME though!
Polka-stomp = The Big Fighting Jig Sidesmooth = Jazzesque Double-stomp = Huge Giants Fight Polka = Slavic Jig Swirl = Very Sad Dance Smash = Hiphop/Rap/Riddim 'n Bluz Contemporary = Love Jams/R&B Love
I don't say that I would have given her an 8 for this, far from it. I'm just wondering about the different standards of scoring. And now that I've watched the other dances and scores and saw that Craig gave 4s for much better dancers, i don't understand anything about the scoring of the British judges anymore 😆
The four key elements in the paso-Doble are as follows: Shaping in the body (the line of the body is not vertical but is what's called a "banana shape"), flamenco arms, tilted hips (the hips are brought forward) and fire in the eyes. Great tune, magnificent outfits, Ellie came out on the dance floor as a queen, full of pride and glory. But then, as the actual Paso Doble started, I didn't get the drama and the passion from her, her eyes resonated somewhat a fear. The dancing itself was too stiff. Her arms were not working enough (though there were some lovely moments), the tilted hips were missing, her body was too vertical. Too much working with the skirt, and sadly less interpreting this gorgeous music and the style of dance withing the body. More attention to the technique. I would love to see much less stiffness in Ellie's body and even more expression and artistry. My score: a 5.
Score: *5* I felt like the dance was rather nice. I felt like the technique was meh. The Paso needs a bit of aggression and attack within the dance, and I felt Ellie was too cute in the movements, like very delicate in the execution. There were moments of it but I felt it need a bit more. I feel like she will survive next week, but unfortunately, I felt rather underserved by this dance.
I love Paso Double! I used to dance to this song with Hilary, Pasha and Brendan. I would have liked to see more attack but I know Ellie is too sedate. Great all the same though 👍
Winnie Wallace... Why is Shirley head judge. This dance was given a 5, that's less than she gave stiff as a board Tony Adams. That's shocking. she needs to be demoted.
@@Anonymous-xk4fy yeah forget about Alexandra and ashley. Sure there’s others tbf. Just noticed a pattern she’s usually kinder to white northerners....
From the chest upwards it's really good. Unfortunately the rest of the body is lacking. The hips in a paso should be brought forward and there needs to be much more intent and precision in the lower body. Still an enjoyable watch though. 5
yep the music is the wrong choice for Paso and Ellie clearly wasn't feeling the dance she was just walking around mostly good effort but bad execution the best ones were Molly and Carlos and Tyler and Diane
I think the music is too big ( hope that makes sense) for a complete novice and I felt that Ellie lacked attack but for a non-dancer only in week two it was pretty good. Liked the arms and hands.
Best music for paso ever!!

Females from the south of England. Maisie. Charlotte. Ellie t. Fleur. Very curious. And faye
And her comments about men are lascivious

I mean…
I mean is Shirley! She always underscores female celebrities for some reason 😩
@@joancamo she has so much internalised misogyny
@@sergioroman2920 bring back len or somebody new
I'm so glad i don't watch the main show then , it sounds like Shirley is doing the same rubbish again this year 🙄.
she tells Will twice that he's "easy on the eye!" condescending, imho!! lol!! shes always harsh on female celebrities, but this series she actually doesn't like Matt Goss either!

Got my votes and I love this pairing! What the Hell is wrong with Shirley and she seems to dislike women.
If the begining isnt how im arriving to prom, im not going.
Anyway as for the dance. one word: *undermarked*
F1 podiums sound
I was hoping for this comment 😂😭

Shirley gave a 5 for this?! What kind of level is she expecting...in Germany it would have been an 8 😆
well to be fair most of the dance just seemed like Ellie was walking around the floor not dancing around the floor

Shirley has issues with women from the south of England
Marvelous costume. She'd have a fleeting second of brilliance every now and then. Not bad, considering she's a non-dancer.
Ellie Taylor is legit my Aunty
So Shirley scored this lower then Tony & Kaye, is she blind?
No. She has previous on this. Ellie t’s main problem is the fact she’s a southern female. See maisie, fleur and Charlotte Hawkins other as examples.

So so undermarked like Shirley enjoyed Tony and Matt more than this. it makes no sense
Motsi preferred Hamza’s jive more!
All I was thinking while watching this was formula 1
Winnie Wallace... Why is Shirley head judge. This dance was given a 5, that's less than she gave stiff as a board Tony Adams. That's shocking. she needs to be demoted.
Undermarked...should have been 4 x 7..
Undermarked by shirley because shes better looking
What is shirleys issue with women? Specifically women from the south of England? Charlotte. Maisie. Fleur. Ellie.
Also Alexandra Burke + Ashley Roberts
Overall great dance but it looks they dancing apart ,no teamwork.it might be the problems
@@Anonymous-xk4fy yeah forget about Alexandra and ashley. Sure there’s others tbf. Just noticed a pattern she’s usually kinder to white northerners....
Emma Barton aswel
@@pennyandfishy7241 yes, good spot. And Faye. All, I believe southern females 🤔🤔
A 5 from me
Anyone here remember Susanna Reid’s Paso with Kevin?
That’s where I remember the song from!!
@@mrmrjobo101 Yeah, that was Blackpool gold.

Needed more attack.

I thought Ellie did well.
Undermarked. How are you supposed to do a dramatic paso to this music?
Kevin and Susanna got 39 for a paso to this in 2013. It's typical paso music
Wrong music to get into the character of the paso double is more like a military march. You were so good the first week. You csn do better.
yep the music is the wrong choice for Paso and Ellie clearly wasn't feeling the dance she was just walking around mostly good effort but bad execution the best ones were Molly and Carlos and Tyler and Diane
@@danielhindson1840 this is like the most paso of paso music
I think the music is too big ( hope that makes sense) for a complete novice and I felt that Ellie lacked attack but for a non-dancer only in week two it was pretty good. Liked the arms and hands.

Not as good as Kevin and Susannah's which was set to the same music. Not bad, just the energy was a little lacking.
