Agreed although I think he grew up with Debbie Mcgee who had lost Paul the year before. He was also extremely sweet, caring and kind with her. I do think that Rose will be the making of him though. It's wonderful to watch their connection grow and change. I woldn't be surprised if they ended up falling for each other. She is teaching him things he had clearly never even thought about. I love it! Th part just after she covers his ears and thee music disappears and she literally takes him by the hand and leads him into her world/silent symphony! Chef's kiss. Incredible! Sigh!
@@GiraffeFeatures I think Strictly fans have fallen in love with him too...we have seen a totally different side to his character and it is a beautiful one...I really hope this pair win the final, it would be well deserved.
There are two types of good Couple's Choice. The first is the style of Bill Bailey where you play into the celebrity's strengths and get them doing something technically challenging which really shows them off. The second is this. Using the dance to express the person. The dancing in almost silence was amazing, but the moment before that was even more important. Rose covered Giovanni's ears and then, for the first time in the series, led him. She invited him into the sound of her world. And it wasn't sad or dramatic. She kept smiling - her world is happy and she can dance! Giovanni is a genius with this choreography, and Rose nailed it. A few technical bits like Craig said, but I can't wait to see this dance get the 40 it deserves in the final.
I remember watching this the first time and crying when the music cut out. I still get choked up now. The fact that "couple's choice" has evolved into a dance piece that tells the story of the celeb's life is beautiful, and I think this is one was SO wonderfully done, in every element.
I've just seen it for the first time and someone's cutting onions here (in my house where I'm alone). I think I froze when the music stopped - no, when the silence fell and they kept dancing, then realised what they were doing: letting everyone else into her silent world where she smiles and dances and loves all of it. Amazing performance.
This was extraordinary. The way she managed to show what it was like to be deaf, was one of the unique features of a dance ever. This showed that deaf people can do anything. Rose is a real CONTENDER! The choreography was unbelievable, and she nailed it. This was one of the best contemporary dances on Strictly. My score: 10
This dance was absolute genius, I’ve never really ‘got’ contemporary dance but after watching this it all fell in to place. It was utterly joyous and moving. 💖
I know I won't be the only one to think this but wow. Absolutely sensational on all accounts. So incredibly tasteful while remaining equally impactful. This solidified that they're my winners
Tasteful is exactly the right word. It would have been so easy to screw up and mess it into a cheap attention grabber but instead they utterly smashed it. Really made me think.
I started to lose my hearing when I was 26 I loved dancing. I can’t listen to music anymore. I didn’t realise that the music stopped for a while In this until someone told me. Watching this made me cry. I am much older now. I loved this totally she so beautiful In every way. I think she is amazing and so is he. Very beautiful and moving.❤️
a very special young lady, changing the landscape for the deaf community, deserves all the plaudits she gets along with Gio who has embraced her world and created the most amazing dances.
@@bessieburnet9816 he’s right. technically from a contemporary point of view it wasn’t great- but the message and the meaning was absolutely amazing and he’s not saying she was overmarked, he’s just saying if u want to factor it and take into consideration technique and the story, the story would bump the average up because the technique wasn’t great
Did anybody else hear Giovanni tell Rose he loved her at the end! 🥰 They have something so special, you can feel their chemistry, you can see that he absolutely adores her!
I said that last year and I still say it now! He was so genuinely tender with her - the way he used to kiss her head shows there's adoration and protection in equal measure. I so want them to get together x
@@maheen158 Hearing aids dont fully give every wearer hearing. Like, Rose, sometimes it just makes a bit easier to hear vibrations, but still not actually let them be able to understand them. Thats why when it when silent we could still kind of hear the vibrations of the bassline of the song :)
I don't think he loves her in a romantic way More like "i love you" for the kind of human being you are Like a friend All around adorable human being kind of way
"I just want to be part of your symphony".... There couldn't have been a more perfect song choice. This was so moving and I don't ever want to forget the way it makes me feel to watch it.
I never usually enjoy Couple's Choice (I can count the ones I love on one hand) but this was something else. Rose and Giovanni's partnership is one of the most special I've ever seen on this show, and this dance, narratively, emotionally, and in terms of performance, was absolutely stunning. I'm sure it'll be reprised in the final and will get a deserved 40.
Rose has brought such a lovely side of Gio out this year, the way he looks at her 😩😩 this was absolutely beautiful and like he said, the scores don’t really matter for this dance as it was the representation what mattered. i was in tears thankyou rose for sharing your story with us x
I've never seen a piece of dance quite as moving as that (certainly not on Strictly). I've watched it twice now and I'm not ashamed to say; I have cried both times. Beautiful, impactful , thought provoking... that righ there is art in it's purest form. A brilliant partnership and my favourite dance on the show, ever.
I'm so grateful Rose shared her world with us in this dance. It was absolutely stunning, and there was definitely not a dry eye in the house! This is an incredible way of utilising Couples' Choice, and I can't thank these two enough for giving us such a gorgeous story and routine ❤
This happened the same year I lost half my hearing to complications after covid. Rose was such an inspiration to me and helped me cope when I found myself in a very dark place and this performance still has me in tears of joy when I see it.
Thank you for letting us into your world for a moment Rose ❤️ It meant so much to me as a disabled person to see disability celebrated rather than mourned.
@@jackh7889 absolutely! Wouldn’t it be amazing if they did something like People’s Strictly again? I’m not even from the UK and I got excited about the idea…😁
@@jillmilnes7613 I get what you mean, but disability is not a bad word. It really isn’t. There are many things I can’t do because of mine, that’s the reality. That’s why we need accessibility and inclusion.
i love you - that is a real partnership. i think hes learned a lot from Rose, it's so beautiful to see their true friendship, understanding and respect for each other. really powerful - still crying now
Rose & Gio have been nominated for a BAFTA award for this dance “Silent moment”. Please VOTE for them. They are up against some tough competition so will need all our votes. 🌹🦎
I don't mind admitting that I sobbed during this dance, then again when Rose thanked Gio before they got their scores. This is absolutely history in the making and I'm so glad I've been here to watch it.
When they said they had a surprise in the middle, I genuinely didn’t see this coming and was completely blown away. Absolutely stunning! Love watching them dance together 🤍
Giovanni has found in Rose someone who he can truly admire and respect, taking him away from his usual routine and values. She has made him a better person.😘
Simply moving and elegant. I just cannot get over how groundbreaking that surprise was...to dance with no music and still dance on time...if we all spend a few moments in someone else's shoes. Wow. My champions!!!
Honestly, I haven't kept up with Strictly in years; it felt over-commercialised and there just wasn't any draw for me. Then I saw this. I didn't know she was deaf, had no idea in fact which of the two was the professional, and watched without sound the first time. Even on second viewing, with sound, I didn't know professional from star or that the reason for the music cutting was to invite the audience into the world of a hard-of-hearing individual. Now on my countless watch through, knowing Rose is deaf and not a professional dancer, my heart skips a beat; it is a truly beautiful dance for a truly beautiful pairing and I am 100% in love. Rose has an infectious joy, Giovanni is such a wonderful instructor, they've both learned so much from each other and absolutely deserve to win on pure skill and talent. Perfection all round and has reignited my love for dance and Strictly
I'm a grumpy middle aged man who is forced to watch strictly every week unless I can blag the football! But these 2 gave me a lump in my throat a tear to the eye, beautiful amazing wow, Craig needs a stern talking to, I'll be voting for them now. Gorgeous.
Almost a year later, and after watching this countless of times, it's the most beautiful and moving dance in Strictly history IMO and still makes me incredibly emotional. Gio 'grew up' when he was partnered with Rose. He seems to genuinely adore her, and the trust, respect and connection between the two of them is plain to see. He was gracious with Debbie, Faye and Michelle et al, and always brought out the best in them, but this was something else - he met his match with Rose and I am still willing them to get together! Just perfect x
Thank you for all the short clips you post of Rose and Gio...they come up in my recommendations a lot and make me smile to watch! ❤️✨💕 I agree, this performance was so powerful and moving!!! ✨✨✨
I have loved every routine Rose & Giovanni have done but seriously, this was on another level. I bet everyone who watched it had a little cry, I know I did.
I hold this dance close to my heart . Not only was it beautiful, it was the one of the last dances my grandad ever saw on strictly because after this week he died . I just always cry while watching it. But he said something to me . He said “This girls going to win” Damn was he right ❤❤❤
I loved tonight's performance by Rose and Giovanni,it was so moving and emotional and dare I say emotive for those of us in the hearing community. It was beautiful. Can I just say I have NEVER seen Giovanni so emotional. I think this is the best he has ever choreographed. Dare I say he has found a woman of substance and has stepped up his game. They are great and the glitter ball is theirs to lose.
@@azinegg Susie,I cant say for sure that he's "in love" or just "loves her" but he has always gone for the "party type" and his relationships didn't last,where as I think he has a lot of respect for Rose and all she has overcome and that she puts everything into her training and hasn't used her deafness as any kind of excuse for him to take it easy on her. She meets every challenge head on and I think he is in AWE of her.
This was thè first time l really felt when he said l love you he meant it in the way not just as a friend just the way he looks at her l think they would make a wonderful couple ....fingers crossed x
I legitimately cried at this. I'm so glad she's bringing awareness to the deaf community and showing people what she experiences. And I'm so proud of Giovanni as well. They both brought beauty to the show.
This duo is something else! You can sense the joy and trust between them. Giovanni's choreos are always so beautiful as well! Fingers crossed they make it to the final, can't wait to see more of them.
I will totally mirror Anton's comments about this being the best thing I have seen on Strictly Come Dancing. Give Rose and Gio the glitterball trophy now. Absolutely amazing.
I’m not ashamed to say I burst into tears watching this- it’s one of the most moving dances, well, pieces of art, I have even seen. Huge congratulations to Rose and Giovanni.
I absolutely love Rose & Giovanni their so raw and beautiful they put so much emotion into their dances that it warms my heart I really hope I live long enough to see the final of this show iv made my first target my 21st but my chemo is making me so weak but these two give me the fight I need to make it through being totally deaf she made such a brave and bold decision to take part and her partnership with Gio is so sweet he's shown such a sensitive side since having Rose as a dance partner. I hope and pray they at least make the final and I'm here to see it, Let's get together get them there! PLEASE VOTE ROSE & GIOVANNI TO WIN STRICYLY! 🙏
@@xxtaylor_kittenxx465 I’ve watched their amazing performance but didn’t see the scores. What!!?? That is so unfair!! It would have to be him who undermarked one of the most beautiful performances!!
@@xxtaylor_kittenxx465 I was livid too I even leaked blood into my fluid bag I was so angry it was meant for its emotional beauty and a celebration of what deaf people can achieve not technicalities and I hold Giovanni in high esteem for that choice he could have put amazing lifts and showy rubbish in but he kept it raw and emotional especially for Rose and what she wanted show every deaf child worldwide what can be achieved. Craig made me so angry sometimes you have to judge with your heart but he must've has some grumpy juice before the show. Take care. Rachy x
So many people will forget that in the silent section, nothing changed for Rose. Deaf awareness needs to be taugh to everyone. A hearing person will never understand the barriers they face in everyday life but we can try any break down some of those barriers. Rose on strictly has brought the deaf community to the centre stage and for that I will be eternally greatful!
this is so touching because rose is a girl with a disability that causes her to see the world so differently and when we got to be in her footsteps for a moment it was incredibly moving and heartfelt.
So so special to watch and so moving. What a beautiful tribute to the deaf community and a great way to bring people together because inclusion for all is so important. Giovanni lost me when he told Rose he loved her and then her words to him after were just the sweetest thing. I love them both so much. My winners, what a bond they have. Amazing! 👏💜
She is simply mesmerizing. I have enjoyed so many dancers on Strictly over the years but I don't think I have ever felt so moved as I do when I watch Rose. Just incredible.
The most beautiful dance I've ever seen on Strictly for so many reasons. Rose moves with the grace of a professional ballet dancer. Brilliant choreography. Inspirational.
I have been watching Strictly come dancing for a long time, and this is the first time I cried whilst watching Rosie and Givani dance. What an emotional thought provoking routine it was? The minute the music stopped and they carried on dancing my heart just stopped and made me realise my God this is how Rosie is, that's her world and yet when she dances with such happiness and and confidence that we just forget she's deaf. Well done to Givani for choreographic a beautiful dance routine. I really want them to win, I think it's about time Givani won, the amount of times he's been in the final and runner up it's definitely his time to win now!! Rosi & Givani to win Aj & Kai runner up.
I think this dance is quite simply the best dance I have ever seen on Strictly. So emotional, so moving, such a testament to Rose and Gio. They have had such an emotional impact on all of us and especially the community that Rose inhabits. God bless Rose and Gio for bringing this to our attention. I do hope they win.
When a dance transcends being more than just entertainment. It is inspiring, educational, uplifting, joyful and moving. Thank you Rose and Giovanni! 🙌🏼💖
A lot of the Couple's Choice routines this year have felt very awkward to me but this was absolutely beautiful, seeing both of them throughout the dance, especially when the silence dropped, it really took my breath away, this is one the dances I'm gonna remember for a long time.
I love this partnership, and the change in Giovanni is amazing. He amplifies what we should generate....acceptance and diversity. This dance was brilliant and it made me cry, the silence of the music in the middle just shoved it home. Thank you Rose and Giovanni
I have also seen an amazing difference in Giovanni I used to think he was abit arrogant and way too cocky but iv seen a caring softer side to him he's completely changed in my eyes he cares so much about Rose it's touching and emotional to watch their journey together. Take care of yourselves. Rachy x
Sometimes you watch a dance and you just know that it will stay with you forever. Maybe it’s flawless like Danny’s Samba or hilarious like Ed’s Salsa. And maybe it’s so beautiful and moving that you just know you’ll never forget it. That was this dance. The most beautiful routine I have ever seen. Thank you, Rose and Gio.
Agree totally, I haven't watched every series of Strictly...it took me a few years to find it...but there are a number of dances that stick in the memory, not necessarily for the right reasons, but this one was up there with the best for me...don't think I will ever forget it's beauty.
Wow ! This was just the most beautiful dance I have ever seen on this show !!! He says at the end of the dance “ I love you “ to Rose . We all love love Rose !
Blokey bloke here watching Strictly with my family for the first time. That was A-MA-ZING. Incredibly moving, moving me to tears especially during THAT part. I don’t see a talented disabled person. I just see an incredibly talented person.
Its easily one of the dances in strictly history and my favourite of hers. All the lifts were beautifully done, it was fluid, it had so much narrative and story, the footwork was sharp and timing was there, it had grace, sensitivity, strength and emotion everything needed for a Contemporary. This is quite clearly couples choice done right and having it barefoot and silent and everything was sublime. The silent scene was one of the best moments in a strictly dance ive ever seen. I want this done in the final so it gets 40 and it makes me want to see their Showdance. Just mesmerising and Giovanni is amazing. *10/10* 💖💖💖😪😪😪
There are moments where I cry because something makes me sad…..we all do. But then there are those rare moments when something is so beautiful, so wonderfully fantastic, and the tears of happiness start to flow. Thank you Rose and Giovanni, we all needed this tonight😍
This dance made me cry this first time I saw it. I got the quiet moment. My mother in law was like “there’s no music” and I’m sitting crying like “it’s to show us her world”
💯 agree, her musicality, talent and impact is all hers, if we didn't know she has a hearing impairment, people would appreciate her skill the same. Disabilities don't stop us having ashtonishing abilities and she has those in buckets! X
I don't feel like she is amazing for a disabled person. She is just a really standout dancer to me, regardless of her obstacles. I constantly forget she is deaf when she dances.
Elaine Zaki Of course it's a disability. Please read a dictionary. Here you go: 1. a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities. "children with severe physical disabilities" Rose's deafness is a limitation on her senses. It doesn't have to be the end of the world at all, but it is the definition.
I know what you mean. I had no idea Rose was dead until after seeing her. She was spectacular. They both were. They really encapsulated young passionate excitement, beauty and grace and strength and musicality. It was really lovely. But then to find out that she accomplished this without hearing is another feather in her cap.
I was moved to tears. This was just a tiny snapshot of what it is to live without a major 'sense'. I will never forget this. Thank you Rose and Giovanni.
Stunning, breathtaking, inspirational , the moment when the music stops and Rose covers Gio's ears and the perfect dancing whilst there was no music is SO emotional, I wish the BBC would show the intro's, the marking and the bits with Claudia, because the intro video and the bits with Claudia gave us more emotional stuff, Rose & Gio are the perfect couple, onwards and upwards to the Final and victory (hopefully)
Whoever initiated the silence in the song, was very thoughtful and compassionate, not only to Rose, but the deaf communnity as well. I salute and take my hat off to you Very well done Rose and Giovanni you were stunning
The most joyous dance snd celebration, utterly blown away. I love how Giovanni looks at Rose at the end..with love & respect and in complete awe of her…a beautiful friendship indeed. And boy can Rose dance.
Inspired by Rose , I have taught year 1 to year 6 (over 500 children) BSL to Silent Night ahead of the school carol service This week I was so moved by Rose’s and Giovani’s dance that I incorporated it into my key stage 2 lessons which are about dynamics this term. We discussed how powerful silence is as well as how the dance enabled Giovanni to experience dancing in the way Rose does. I showed the you tube clip from last week , then asked the children to work in groups on a song of their choice The only real instruction was that during the song , the melody had to be sung in their head , whilst the rest of their group carried on playing instruments. Some groups chose to have 2/3 singers making it more tricky to come back in together. I have been so amazed by this couple and they really have inspired my class music teaching. Would so love the school I work in to meet them Rose Ayling-Ellis you are an inspiration to so many people. X
wow, this was so powerful and heartfelt. huge praise to giovanni, who as a dancer has embraced her impediment of hearing and put himself in her shoes, but also the trust she has in him - as adance teacher, this was pure magic and joy for me...... beautiful on so many levels xxx
For me the joy was in the little laugh right at the end .brilliant and inspiring .
The series where we saw Giovanni grow up. Compassion, patience, kindness and all while taking his humour with him. It shone through
AMAZING
Giovanni 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Usually it's the Celebrities falling in love with him, this series He has fallen in love with her lmao

What technical bits? Explain.
The outfits complemented the choreography perfectly and the music chosen; the icing on the cake. Xx 💕💕🎄🎄

I'm so grateful Rose shared her world with us in this dance. It was absolutely stunning, and there was definitely not a dry eye in the house! This is an incredible way of utilising Couples' Choice, and I can't thank these two enough for giving us such a gorgeous story and routine ❤
This happened the same year I lost half my hearing to complications after covid. Rose was such an inspiration to me and helped me cope when I found myself in a very dark place and this performance still has me in tears of joy when I see it.
Having watched this again in 2024 how can you not want Giovanni to be part of the Strictly team? His care and love for Rose was so obvious!🥰
Thank you for letting us into your world for a moment Rose ❤️ It meant so much to me as a disabled person to see disability celebrated rather than mourned.
Omg same! It paves the way for positive disability representation and allows us to be on the show ourselves
@@jackh7889 absolutely! Wouldn’t it be amazing if they did something like People’s Strictly again? I’m not even from the UK and I got excited about the idea…😁
@@gabrielasz94 I would love it! I've always wanted to do strictly if I became famous anyway. And I still want this to be a reality.
To me the "dis" means can't.... !!! Different abilities..... challenges.
@@jillmilnes7613 I get what you mean, but disability is not a bad word. It really isn’t. There are many things I can’t do because of mine, that’s the reality. That’s why we need accessibility and inclusion.
i love you - that is a real partnership. i think hes learned a lot from Rose, it's so beautiful to see their true friendship, understanding and respect for each other. really powerful - still crying now
They are so special together but Rose is so extra special on her own, so natural, no pretence at all !
Snob It was shit and embarrassing to everyone who REALLY understands dancing.
Rose & Gio have been nominated for a BAFTA award for this dance “Silent moment”. Please VOTE for them. They are up against some tough competition so will need all our votes. 🌹🦎
I agree. Spread the word.. we all vote them. X
I don't mind admitting that I sobbed during this dance, then again when Rose thanked Gio before they got their scores. This is absolutely history in the making and I'm so glad I've been here to watch it.
This has to be the most beautiful moment of strictly I’ve ever seen
When they said they had a surprise in the middle, I genuinely didn’t see this coming and was completely blown away. Absolutely stunning! Love watching them dance together 🤍
Epic dance forever
Gio is a genius
Me too, was not expecting the silence, but wow what an impact!
Same
It went silence to show people what it is like to be death
@@BudstarXEmergencyOfficial Err...my mum is deaf, she certainly isn't dead!
Giovanni has found in Rose someone who he can truly admire and respect, taking him away from his usual routine and values. She has made him a better person.😘
Simply moving and elegant. I just cannot get over how groundbreaking that surprise was...to dance with no music and still dance on time...if we all spend a few moments in someone else's shoes. Wow. My champions!!!
Honestly, I haven't kept up with Strictly in years; it felt over-commercialised and there just wasn't any draw for me. Then I saw this. I didn't know she was deaf, had no idea in fact which of the two was the professional, and watched without sound the first time. Even on second viewing, with sound, I didn't know professional from star or that the reason for the music cutting was to invite the audience into the world of a hard-of-hearing individual. Now on my countless watch through, knowing Rose is deaf and not a professional dancer, my heart skips a beat; it is a truly beautiful dance for a truly beautiful pairing and I am 100% in love. Rose has an infectious joy, Giovanni is such a wonderful instructor, they've both learned so much from each other and absolutely deserve to win on pure skill and talent. Perfection all round and has reignited my love for dance and Strictly
This was an art piece. It transcended dance. I’ve never said that before about Strictly and I may never again. So special. ❤️
I'm a grumpy middle aged man who is forced to watch strictly every week unless I can blag the football!
But these 2 gave me a lump in my throat a tear to the eye, beautiful amazing wow, Craig needs a stern talking to, I'll be voting for them now. Gorgeous.
love your comment, wish I could get my husband to watch it.
Almost a year later, and after watching this countless of times, it's the most beautiful and moving dance in Strictly history IMO and still makes me incredibly emotional. Gio 'grew up' when he was partnered with Rose. He seems to genuinely adore her, and the trust, respect and connection between the two of them is plain to see. He was gracious with Debbie, Faye and Michelle et al, and always brought out the best in them, but this was something else - he met his match with Rose and I am still willing them to get together! Just perfect x
She has to win. Makes me cry every week but this was STUNNING
I’m still I tears. I’ve been watching strictly for seven years, and I’ve never been so moved by a performance. I want these two to win!🥺💗💖
Same
Thank you for all the short clips you post of Rose and Gio...they come up in my recommendations a lot and make me smile to watch! ❤️✨💕 I agree, this performance was so powerful and moving!!! ✨✨✨
I have loved every routine Rose & Giovanni have done but seriously, this was on another level. I bet everyone who watched it had a little cry, I know I did.
Me to Kleenex was out
Same! I really didn’t expect to cry!
I hold this dance close to my heart . Not only was it beautiful, it was the one of the last dances my grandad ever saw on strictly because after this week he died . I just always cry while watching it. But he said something to me . He said “This girls going to win”
Damn was he right ❤❤❤
Loved the part where Rose covered Giovanni’s ears and brought him into her world! Amazing choreography 💛
YESSSSS! She literally took him by the hand and pulled him into her deaf world/symphony.. Sublime!
What a load of bollocks.
@@KnightoftheLord1 Interesting response. Care to extrapolate further? 😂😅
@@missthea5259 Yeah, it's shit.
I loved tonight's performance by Rose and Giovanni,it was so moving and emotional and dare I say emotive for those of us in the hearing community. It was beautiful. Can I just say I have NEVER seen Giovanni so emotional. I think this is the best he has ever choreographed. Dare I say he has found a woman of substance and has stepped up his game. They are great and the glitter ball is theirs to lose.
Love your comment, “ I think gio is infatuated , and really cares for her. It’s a beautiful thing whatever the feelings.
@@azinegg Susie,I cant say for sure that he's "in love" or just "loves her" but he has always gone for the "party type" and his relationships didn't last,where as I think he has a lot of respect for Rose and all she has overcome and that she puts everything into her training and hasn't used her deafness as any kind of excuse for him to take it easy on her. She meets every challenge head on and I think he is in AWE of her.
Sorry don't you mean the glitterball is theirs to win you said to lose.🤗
This was thè first time l really felt when he said l love you he meant it in the way not just as a friend just the way he looks at her l think they would make a wonderful couple ....fingers crossed x
@@margueritahancock6504 She is in a 7 year relationshil
I legitimately cried at this. I'm so glad she's bringing awareness to the deaf community and showing people what she experiences. And I'm so proud of Giovanni as well. They both brought beauty to the show.
This duo is something else! You can sense the joy and trust between them. Giovanni's choreos are always so beautiful as well! Fingers crossed they make it to the final, can't wait to see more of them.
I will totally mirror Anton's comments about this being the best thing I have seen on Strictly Come Dancing. Give Rose and Gio the glitterball trophy now. Absolutely amazing.
I’m not ashamed to say I burst into tears watching this- it’s one of the most moving dances, well, pieces of art, I have even seen. Huge congratulations to Rose and Giovanni.
I absolutely love Rose & Giovanni their so raw and beautiful they put so much emotion into their dances that it warms my heart I really hope I live long enough to see the final of this show iv made my first target my 21st but my chemo is making me so weak but these two give me the fight I need to make it through being totally deaf she made such a brave and bold decision to take part and her partnership with Gio is so sweet he's shown such a sensitive side since having Rose as a dance partner. I hope and pray they at least make the final and I'm here to see it, Let's get together get them there! PLEASE VOTE ROSE & GIOVANNI TO WIN STRICYLY! 🙏
Do you know what score they got and if they got through?
@@0Stxnxd0 they got 39, I’m livid that Craig didn’t give them a 10!!! 🤬🤬
@@xxtaylor_kittenxx465 I’ve watched their amazing performance but didn’t see the scores. What!!?? That is so unfair!! It would have to be him who undermarked one of the most beautiful performances!!
@@xxtaylor_kittenxx465 I was livid too I even leaked blood into my fluid bag I was so angry it was meant for its emotional beauty and a celebration of what deaf people can achieve not technicalities and I hold Giovanni in high esteem for that choice he could have put amazing lifts and showy rubbish in but he kept it raw and emotional especially for Rose and what she wanted show every deaf child worldwide what can be achieved. Craig made me so angry sometimes you have to judge with your heart but he must've has some grumpy juice before the show. Take care. Rachy x
I do hope you live to see the final too, am sure you will, good luck
Outstanding ! I was crying because I am deaf and I'm proud of it !!!!!!!
I don't know if they've got partners but Giovanni has met his match in Rose.
So many people will forget that in the silent section, nothing changed for Rose. Deaf awareness needs to be taugh to everyone. A hearing person will never understand the barriers they face in everyday life but we can try any break down some of those barriers. Rose on strictly has brought the deaf community to the centre stage and for that I will be eternally greatful!
The most Amazing Couple ever .Could watch them all day xx
The sheer joy on her face is so moving
Possibly the most moving dance I have ever watched on Strictly! Very, very special moment.
The best couples choice I have seen, also part of the routine with no music I mean I literally can't! An emotional deserved score for Rose. well done!
Historical Team
this is so touching because rose is a girl with a disability that causes her to see the world so differently and when we got to be in her footsteps for a moment it was incredibly moving and heartfelt.
So so special to watch and so moving. What a beautiful tribute to the deaf community and a great way to bring people together because inclusion for all is so important. Giovanni lost me when he told Rose he loved her and then her words to him after were just the sweetest thing. I love them both so much. My winners, what a bond they have. Amazing! 👏💜
Yes, it was like being with his daughter 😭 so emotional
She is simply mesmerizing. I have enjoyed so many dancers on Strictly over the years but I don't think I have ever felt so moved as I do when I watch Rose. Just incredible.
Best Dance ever ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
The most beautiful dance I've ever seen on Strictly for so many reasons. Rose moves with the grace of a professional ballet dancer. Brilliant choreography. Inspirational.
I have been watching Strictly come dancing for a long time, and this is the first time I cried whilst watching Rosie and Givani dance. What an emotional thought provoking routine it was? The minute the music stopped and they carried on dancing my heart just stopped and made me realise my God this is how Rosie is, that's her world and yet when she dances with such happiness and and confidence that we just forget she's deaf. Well done to Givani for choreographic a beautiful dance routine. I really want them to win, I think it's about time Givani won, the amount of times he's been in the final and runner up it's definitely his time to win now!! Rosi & Givani to win Aj & Kai runner up.
I think this dance is quite simply the best dance I have ever seen on Strictly. So emotional, so moving, such a testament to Rose and Gio. They have had such an emotional impact on all of us and especially the community that Rose inhabits. God bless Rose and Gio for bringing this to our attention. I do hope they win.
A match made in heaven.
When a dance transcends being more than just entertainment. It is inspiring, educational, uplifting, joyful and moving. Thank you Rose and Giovanni! 🙌🏼💖
OMG. She is just the most beautiful, graceful creature I've ever seen. I think the whole nation must have fallen in love with Rose, I sure have.
Beautiful 😍 cried my eyes out when we entered Rose's world 🥲
The most stunning, fluid, emotive, visually stunning dance to have ever graced Stricly. Period.
A lot of the Couple's Choice routines this year have felt very awkward to me but this was absolutely beautiful, seeing both of them throughout the dance, especially when the silence dropped, it really took my breath away, this is one the dances I'm gonna remember for a long time.
I love this partnership, and the change in Giovanni is amazing. He amplifies what we should generate....acceptance and diversity. This dance was brilliant and it made me cry, the silence of the music in the middle just shoved it home. Thank you Rose and Giovanni
I have also seen an amazing difference in Giovanni I used to think he was abit arrogant and way too cocky but iv seen a caring softer side to him he's completely changed in my eyes he cares so much about Rose it's touching and emotional to watch their journey together. Take care of yourselves. Rachy x
Sometimes you watch a dance and you just know that it will stay with you forever. Maybe it’s flawless like Danny’s Samba or hilarious like Ed’s Salsa. And maybe it’s so beautiful and moving that you just know you’ll never forget it. That was this dance. The most beautiful routine I have ever seen. Thank you, Rose and Gio.
Agree totally, I haven't watched every series of Strictly...it took me a few years to find it...but there are a number of dances that stick in the memory, not necessarily for the right reasons, but this one was up there with the best for me...don't think I will ever forget it's beauty.
Wow ! This was just the most beautiful dance I have ever seen on this show !!! He says at the end of the dance “ I love you “ to Rose . We all love love Rose !
Stunning. “I love you” caps it off perfectly. Love it. ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🥰🥰🥰
Blokey bloke here watching Strictly with my family for the first time. That was A-MA-ZING. Incredibly moving, moving me to tears especially during THAT part. I don’t see a talented disabled person. I just see an incredibly talented person.
blokey bloke😊s are allowed emotion too ,she is amazing
Its easily one of the dances in strictly history and my favourite of hers. All the lifts were beautifully done, it was fluid, it had so much narrative and story, the footwork was sharp and timing was there, it had grace, sensitivity, strength and emotion everything needed for a Contemporary. This is quite clearly couples choice done right and having it barefoot and silent and everything was sublime. The silent scene was one of the best moments in a strictly dance ive ever seen. I want this done in the final so it gets 40 and it makes me want to see their Showdance. Just mesmerising and Giovanni is amazing. *10/10* 💖💖💖😪😪😪
There are moments where I cry because something makes me sad…..we all do. But then there are those rare moments when something is so beautiful, so wonderfully fantastic, and the tears of happiness start to flow. Thank you Rose and Giovanni, we all needed this tonight😍
Just glorious. She’s one of the best things about Eastenders and Strictly right now. Stunning,
This dance made me cry this first time I saw it. I got the quiet moment. My mother in law was like “there’s no music” and I’m sitting crying like “it’s to show us her world”
WOW, WOW, WOW. BEST DANCE EVER ON STRICTLY.
This was and still is one of the most brilliant pieces of TV I've seen
Best couples choice ever! Best strictly dance ever! Really really hope they win x
I loved how in the background it works as a visual for hearing
Simply genius. For anyone that appreciates the grace of the female form, quite extraordinary.
I will not forget it.
Just stunning. The way Gio tells Rose he loves her at the end of the dance is the perfect end to a perfect routine. Beautiful ❤️
I’ve watched this atleast 50,747 times why do I still cry like a baby each time!!!! Iconic! So poignant!
Lots of people say Rose is amazing for a disabled person. As a disabled person I think she’s just amazing. She’s sweet, funny and an amazing dancer.
💯 agree, her musicality, talent and impact is all hers, if we didn't know she has a hearing impairment, people would appreciate her skill the same. Disabilities don't stop us having ashtonishing abilities and she has those in buckets! X
I don't feel like she is amazing for a disabled person. She is just a really standout dancer to me, regardless of her obstacles. I constantly forget she is deaf when she dances.
Elaine Zaki Of course it's a disability. Please read a dictionary. Here you go:
1. a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities.
"children with severe physical disabilities"
Rose's deafness is a limitation on her senses. It doesn't have to be the end of the world at all, but it is the definition.
@@tootsiefrootsie5987 You need to use capital letters at the start of a sentence !!!
I know what you mean. I had no idea Rose was dead until after seeing her. She was spectacular. They both were. They really encapsulated young passionate excitement, beauty and grace and strength and musicality. It was really lovely. But then to find out that she accomplished this without hearing is another feather in her cap.
I know they have to make it a competition but this is what dance, music and art is about a powerful message that is more than words!
I was moved to tears. This was just a tiny snapshot of what it is to live without a major 'sense'. I will never forget this. Thank you Rose and Giovanni.
Rose and Giovanni are simply the best ❤❤❤ hopefully they would reach the finals
Stunning, breathtaking, inspirational , the moment when the music stops and Rose covers Gio's ears and the perfect dancing whilst there was no music is SO emotional, I wish the BBC would show the intro's, the marking and the bits with Claudia, because the intro video and the bits with Claudia gave us more emotional stuff, Rose & Gio are the perfect couple, onwards and upwards to the Final and victory (hopefully)
A truly beautiful dance,Rose is so elegant and graceful and to share with us her world is genius! Wonderful!
Whoever initiated the silence in the song, was very thoughtful and compassionate, not only to Rose, but the deaf communnity as well.
I salute and take my hat off to you
Very well done Rose and Giovanni you were stunning
The most joyous dance snd celebration, utterly blown away.
I love how Giovanni looks at Rose at the end..with love & respect and in complete awe of her…a beautiful friendship indeed.
And boy can Rose dance.
We need to give a shout out to Giovanni what an amazing teacher and choreographer he is. They are a dream pairing
As a medium to educate all on diversity and accessibility, this was more powerful than words. This is art in its truest form.
WOW!!!!! I've watched Strictly for many years but this has to be the best contemporary dance routine ever!!!! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!!!
The line, "dancing on to your heartbeat" has never been more poinient for a couple.
Beautiful and very emotional
Inspired by Rose , I have taught year 1 to year 6 (over 500 children) BSL to Silent Night ahead of the school carol service
This week I was so moved by Rose’s and Giovani’s dance that I incorporated it into my key stage 2 lessons which are about dynamics this term. We discussed how powerful silence is as well as how the dance enabled Giovanni to experience dancing in the way Rose does.
I showed the you tube clip from last week , then asked the children to work in groups on a song of their choice The only real instruction was that during the song , the melody had to be sung in their head , whilst the rest of their group carried on playing instruments. Some groups chose to have 2/3 singers making it more tricky to come back in together.
I have been so amazed by this couple and they really have inspired my class music teaching.
Would so love the school I work in to meet them
Rose Ayling-Ellis you are an inspiration to so many people. X
Try contacting her agent - nothing to lose 🙂
A beautifully executed touching look into her world. Her timing is impeccable and her positive attitude is infectious
wow, this was so powerful and heartfelt. huge praise to giovanni, who as a dancer has embraced her impediment of hearing and put himself in her shoes, but also the trust she has in him - as adance teacher, this was pure magic and joy for me...... beautiful on so many levels xxx
