JB done a great job of this quickstep. I wish the producers gave him proper quickstep music. It’s like they chose Rick Astley and tried to twist and change it to fit a quickstep. Must make it more challenging for the celeb and not easier. Luckily, JB is very talented and overcame using music that was stretched to fit the theme. Well done JB! 🎉 keep smashing it 🎉
What is it with the song choices this year?! Because this doesn’t feel like a quickstep song at all and the crew are letting them down with the songs imo! 🤷🏻♀️
Score - *8* JB did the best with what he was given, the gapping and head position was bothering me, but in general his lightness and travel around the floor was lovely, loads of bounce and Quickstep accents, he's a very good leader which always makes his ballroom look very professional and precise, and as always great footwork. I don't think it was his best dance but I think his Ballroom is definitely improving for sure
Wow, Rickroll surprisingly fitted a Quickstep. And JB has been getting so much better and stand out since the Couple's Choice! I've missed taking notice of him. He stands out more now that the worse dancers are going.
I do miss Amy dancing with JB but I do like JB and Lauren together dancing he is amazing person JB and real and can dance hope he stays long in strictly 🤞
I loved this routine. It felt classy and bouncy and had a lot of great Quickstep in it. I think he’s really doing a great job. Yes, he made some mistakes and the song choice wasn’t the best but it was still great. 9
On a night when I found the music, 'concept' and some choreography choices utterly bemusing, this was, for me, by far the worst in music terms. I genuinely love a 'modern' reworking and choice of music IF it's well done. But the best I can say about this is that Lauren and JB did a good job with a bad lot.
Next is JB and Lauren Oakley dancing the Quickstep. Wrong song choice why didn't JB and Lauren get I'm walking on sunshine much better pick for this dance, I felt that JB's body was tense probably because he was so focused on trying to get the dance right relax JB needs to let the stress go a bit and then he will look much more comfortable within dancing the dance, also the some of the footwork was messy however I like the style and costumes for this dance.
I am convinced that the SCD wardrobe department is recycling the old costumes by cutting them up and stitching random pieces together into clownish motley-colored outfits. They might look ok when used once, but there have been too many of them recently, and they often overshadow the contestants and their performances.
A very interesting mix. Does this count as being rickrolled or not? XD As for the performance, I actually think it was slightly overmarked. It just didn't grab me as much as quicksteps usually do. My score: 8
Our scores: Me: 9 Diya: 10 Kelsey: 9 Owen: 9 37/40 Another excellent performance from JB! I think the Couples choice helped him regain confidence and he found a love of dancing, because now he’s not just technical but also expressive. Loved Lauren’s choreography- a proper quickstep with no messing around. His thumb stuck up a bit and the judges are right about the off posture, but this was a fun routine and one of his stronger dances.
That costume for Lauren was the pits - so garish and basic and that green bow - what were they thinking?! Lauren was really due a better costume after last week and JB and Amy have had a couple of rum costumes, I'm sure the Outkast routine got them in the dance off for the costume alone. There's usually a bargain basement set of outfits for one couple each week while someone else gets the glam treatment. I understand that time is tight but the glam treatment needs to be more evenly applied to all and there shouldn't be so much discrepancy. I mean look at Tasha's outfits these past two weeks - like they were made for a different show entirely! I just spent most of this dance looking at the bad outfits and I wasn't sure about Lauren's make-up either... When they get it wrong, they really get it wrong!
Loved this routine and I'm loving the partnership between JB and Lauren! ❤❤

It's the fact they ruined by changing the sound of it as much the singing too!!😡
Never thought to mix Rick Astley and it's Such a awkward mix but both JB and Lauren danced it really well. 8/10.
One of my favs this week I really enjoyed this
You got Rick rolled
She's very good
Well danced. Great posture in holding your frame.
I wasn't fond of Lauren's choreography last year, but this year she's smashing it!
Score - *8*

The music was just not the right energy for a quickstep, sadly 😢 But they pulled off a brilliant dance!!
I still enjoyed it 😊👍🪩🎶.
@@gemstar7286 I think he was a bit nervous while jumping
The music for a quickstep?? Who chose this?
JB is constantly undermarked
Cant go wrong with a bit of rick

This was undermarked but I agree his head wasn’t the best.
9/10

They absolutely BUTCHERED that song!! The dancing itself was great, but the song and dance style combo did NOT work AT ALL!!

Best performance of all time by far. it’s a 10 from me
Why are there subtitles on the video we can't see the dancers

They have done that for years! Way more ethical than making new outfits every single time. Most people aren’t paying this much attention:)
Great dance, great music. Bad combination though.
Can't help but feel that the Blackpool ballroom elegance was wasted on numbers like this...
Lauren is wonderful

Who picks the music to the dances forrest gump it wont be long before a couple is doing the rumba to the ace of spades motorhead

Awful song for a quickstep. They did a good job though.
