I swear, Michelle planned this performance ever since Madonna performed this in 95
Madonna did it in 1990.
Denis Breimann you’re about 5 years off
Yep. 90. The boys wore kilts
1990
Until she got the cease and desist order
While the other couples have often delivered concepts/themes which are confusing or cheesy, Michelle and Gio have CONSISTENTLY every week produced storytelling with style and panache! They are such amazing performers and it'd break my heart if they were eliminated after this week (especially since it's a dance which is so close to Michelle's heart!). This dance is high-drama, camp and sass and I am LIVING FOR IT! Also, it's so obvious that Michelle walked the Face category in her ballroom days because she looks so stunning and powerful here!
Yaasssss !
Agreed.
@S J What do you think Vogue-ing is ?
She wasn't Madge but she had a go.
S J That’s literally what Voguing is! The point is that you pose to the beat of the music. It was created in the 1980s in the New York LGBTQ+ ballroom scene, competitors would essentially have a dance-off by emulating the stylised poses in Vogue magazine. Check out the classic documentary Paris is Burning, it’s an amazing insight into the ballroom scene of the era (and rather bittersweet as most of the people featured in it have since passed away). Then I HIGHLY recommend watching the American drama series Pose; the writing and acting are superb, effectively and sensitively portraying the issues the LGBTQ+ community endured at the time, without ever diminishing the uniqueness and the verve of the ballroom culture. It’s one of my favourite series of recent years!
Leigh-Ann Turnbull That’s all well and good but she was meant to be dancing street/commercial
She did absolutely not deserve to leave this was riggamoris gurl
IT WAS RIGGOMORRISS GIRL THE RIGGORYYYYYYYY
Ok so, I was so rooting for Michelle to win. She puts Drag Race on a mainstream TV, and she pushed it to happen in England. I feel like she has done so much for the LGBT community, and she has danced her ass off. For her to choose Vogue, cemented her support for the LGBT even more. But... I remember when she was so nasty to Courtney during season 6. Just plain nasty beyond professionalism. She was making fun of Courtney during a podcast with Ru and Bianca by saying “Courtney who?” And when Courtney won CBB-UK, she just happened to “forget” to congratulate her. She was on CBB-UK and lost, she is on this show now, and she lost again. I guess karma is a biatch. I’m not saying she deserved to lose, but when you’re nasty to someone, that turned out to be winning things, and more popular than you, that’s karma catching back to you. I hope it humbles her a little.
Bianca Del Taco okay look I like Courtney but hold on a second. A- Court is not more popular. B- that was years ago and I doubt she meant harm and C- Courtney was exactly an angel in her season. If Michelle gets karma for saying Courtney who, then Courtney should get karma for bullying Jocelyn Fox. Womp womp
Who's Morris?😂
_Roy_1_ Me
Courtney is 1000% more popular than Michelle, at least in her own right. Michelle’s popularity derives from her friend’s TV show. And no one even watches rpdr for Ru!
i was really like “why isn’t she lip syncing”
Eric Rodriguez same!
She doesn’t know the words
Cody- Sab she would know the words, Madonna is her favourite artist.
@@Hannah-ck9nn it's a drag race reference
@@codysdunsmore4229 your comment made me laugh so hard,that some of my red bull came flying out my nose ,😆
I'm so into voguing right now.
john doe YASSSSSSSS
Lol
Yaaas, Vanessa Hudgens
Yaaaaaas
Ya me too 20 years ago.
The entire time I was like; “SHE DOESNT KNOW THE WORDS-“
That's the reason why she was sashaied Away
the show is Strictly Come Dancing not lip-sync for your life. lol
I have ur profile pic in my phone:0
I would like to leave it on please
Me too was like Valentina is that you girl 👀😂
This is such a Visage dance. Absolutely made for her and she nailed it!!!
Lonell Fletcher she didn’t nail it she got kicked off bc it was so bad she was not dancing just moving her hands u have to move your hands your feet and actually dance she failed it
Scottish school twits Lowrie well boo to you
Really...!!!. I thought it was terrible
she nailed nothing cos there was no footwork so Strictly judges ain't gonna be happy
God you all are useless
In the voice of Violet:
*"COME THRUUUUU!!"*
OMG LOL
She would also say:
"i hate Michelle Visage"
And in Vangie's dulcet tones:
*"THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!"*
Because our reigning queen Her Majesty Michelle done got those oat and raisin cookies and felt them ALL
I couldn’t stop looking at Giovanni! That man was really feeling himself
Yes love Gio ,he very like himself but I'm saying that in good way
Was so funny, michelle was impressing!!!
Giovanni does diva so well. Totally gorgeous!
time4anewme yes I agree
Diva se nace no se hace
%1000000 Gio so Diva loveeee it
She’ll always be the winner in our eyes, baby.
Imagine Johannes doing this routine. I would be living for it so much!!!!
Me too :)
That’s exactly what I was thinking during the dance!
Jack Doe ok boomer
Fi Goodwin preach it sis
Jack Doe ok boomer
Couples choice is meant to be a self expression dance which reflects a piece of yourself, it’s different to the regular Latin/ballroom dances in the competition and I think that’s what some people are struggling to understand. Whilst I agree this was not packed with content, I believe this was 100% Michelle: authentic and sassy. This is her background. Unfortunately she is at the bottom of the leaderboard (which is weird considering the judges usually over-mark couples choices) and I really hope that she’s done enough to get through to next week as I know she has so much more to give! #teamvisagio
Personally, I feel Couple's Choice dances should be saved for its own week and get separate judges that are more trained in that style for it.
could not of said it better myself!!!
I totally agree with what you say Sienna Lily. However, I think Michelle didn't do herself any favours with this dance given her position (wrongly) last week. I don't know if she herself chose this dance, or was given it? But given how good she is, a more traditional dance with on par with her previous performances would have been more beneficial at this stage, given who is left. I hope I am wrong and Michelle gets through. As much as I like Chris, he isn't as good as the rest and unfortunately it would be right for him to go now.
True, but self indulgence doesn't win you the trophy
@@RoseK444 ... I think you could have really. 😁
This isn’t just a dance. *THIS IS ART.*
Gays and girls please vote for her. We need our queen to move forward
@@WelshSwan1986 shut up rat
@@WelshSwan1986 Michelle the true winner, we been knew luv
god love the gays!!x xxx
Too late, Michelle was in the dance off against Saffron and was voted off. This was a terrible dance and Michelle looked stiff.
Vi Storm I agree I didn’t know what dance it was cuz I skipped the part before and was wondering what dance it was for ages
The dead gorgeous expression on Michelle's face and those hand movements!!! So obvious her face walking days are forever ingrained in her memory lol
The more I watch this, the more my heart sinks. This was an amazing dance that shouldn't have landed her in the bottom or sent her home - but what a dance to leave on! Stand proud Michelle, this was incredible and thank you! Tx
The fact she got sent home on this dance is homophobic
no. it wasnt a proper dance. people didnt get it.
I agree that people didn’t get it, but I dont think that just because it’s not a traditional type of strictly dance makes it any less of a proper dance.
@@jbaby87 In fairness it seemed quite weak on her part, it just seemed like a lot of walking around the stage. It was still good, and she didn't deserve to go, but its hardly homophobic it could have been a better dance
Odette Mariposa it’s not actually.
Odette Mariposa it’s a joke
Is it just me or no matter how Gio dances masculine or camp he is so damn hot
men being feminine is camp now? ok work
@@maielizarov the straights can't be defeated
@@maielizarov I mean, isn't that the definition of camp?
You know what? Even if she was eliminated on this episode, you can tell Michelle is feeling the fantasy in this performance. She enjoyed herself and was LIVING. good for her!!!
WOW. Michelle was like “I don’t need to practice, I know this inside-out.” Just Beautiful!!
I haven’t been able to stop watching this. Michelle is so awesome!!! The sass, the attitude, the clarity, the definition and all synchronised with other dancers. Salute!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I almost cried watching this. Michelle is such an incredible human being and we should be proud that our sister was fighting for us that day on that stage.
The reference to Madonna's timeless and iconic performance at the 1990 VMAs and a throwback to Michelle's roots in the ball scene.. this performance SCREAMS iconic. I understand people are saying the complexity was lacking compared to the other performances but the cohesiveness of the performance and the ARTISTRY were on point! I think there's a lack of appreciation for coming up with a solid concept for a dance and executing it to perfection, which Michelle and Giovanni absolutely did.
Who came here after watching UK Vs the World?
I did, lmao still watching the episode
She was robbed tho!
not me, not "after", still watching the end lol, I had to come see the steal! #SheWasRobbedLOL
@@kubabohdan7020omg same 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is my favourite dance ever ! Honestly iconic beyond description
Absolutely flawless on everyone's behalf. It shows how very hard everyone must have worked on this. It's truly amazing.
Im sad that Michelle got the lowest score (personally I see Chris’s improvement but I think he was the worst tonight) and that she is most likely in the dance off, but I have to say I loved the armography and honestly Giovanni was the highlight of this dance, he was feeling himself!
Yeah Chris should have only got 7 or 8, if he doesn’t go or isn’t in bottom I will be mad, if it’s saffron and Michelle then the judges will save saffron so I hope it’s Chris
@@itzryonhi7082 I prefer Michelle to Chris but I think Chris was better tonight. Michelle's dance didnt have enough dancing. The choreography could get her knocked out.
Gold Rose I know I saw the outfits when they came out and I was like “hmmm...interesting” 😂 but even though she got the worst score tonight, I’m still proud of her and 32 is not a horrible score for the lowest, I love Michelle 😍
For those wondering about the costumes and the routine, this whole thing was based off of Madonna’s performance at the 1990 MTV awards. It’s on UA-cam if you look.
I can see what you mean though, it does seem like a performance with not a lot going on - but voguing is meant to be carried out with attitude and I think Michelle did that
giovanni is gay?
MICHELLLLLE!!! she did it for the gays and was living for it!! So proud of her ❤❤❤
Me eyes are just on Giovani lol. Savage
Gio kind of stole the spotlight on this one
This was freaking brilliant! The choreo is TIGHT and tells a complete story from moment one to end. Great homage to Madonna and a FABULOUS coming out party for a Michelle and Giovanni. Top marks!
for someone who came up in the actual vogue ballroom scene this felt a little weak but you know damn well michelle was liVING HER FANTASSSSYYYY and watching her feel so confident and having so much fun was the lil pick me up i needed today :)
Im actually heartbroke the Michelle went home. She was by far my favourite on the show, with Kelvin and karim.
@Smokey Quartz She can, did you see her foxtrot? But more than that, she was entertaining to watch. Id much rather watch someone with emotional execution and that know how to work an audience, than someone with technique but who is boring.
1:36 Category is... FACE
Her episode of the Night Fever podcast brought me here. Her Ballroom roots run DEEP and this was an homage to everyone she came up with. ❤️
Not happy that Michelle has gone. She has been outstanding all the way through. Personality in every dance, unlike some!
SHE'S A GODDESS AND WE MUST PROTECT HER.
The homage to Madonna's VMA performance makes this even better😭🔥
Giovanni was LIVING it!
I watched this live on tv and I loved it. If you watch it without sound like preview UA-cam does, it's even more impressive. The coordination the synchronicity is perfection.
They could have done so much more choreographically though! That being said it was a great number I really enjoyed it!
**SPOILER IN THE POST**
UNDERMARKED THE HOUSE. Michelle deserve so much more and I am really scared for her. Vote guys!
However - I think that this was an amazing performence. Fab, sass, grace and VOGUE. It is a *10* from me and everything under this score is an undermark. I said what I said.

SO SAD TO SEE HER GO. Im so mad and..ugh. Didnt deserve it. For sure. Thank you Michelle for EVERYTHING. You had it all to make it trough the final but..producers have other plans I see. Love you Michelle.
Alexander Ignatov we don’t know yet 🤞 hopefully they don’t go out this week
@@mollykierkegaardholt7757 we do
@@mollykierkegaardholt7757 according to credible sources Michelle lost the dance off against Saffron. So sad, really.
How on earth would you know this if it literally hasn’t happened yet?
@@MrKevonator because the elimination is recorded right after the Saturday live show, they just air it on Sundays
1:35 me with my bestie serving non verbal communication
I friggin loved this performance. Michelle shouldn't have gone. Absolutely fantastic. Love it
LOVED THAT DANCE! tottaly undermarked by the judges. Michelle is such an inspiring women and an wonderful mother. her story is beautiful, just shows how amazing and accepting the lgbt community are. go on Michelle! voted for you hope you will make it to next week x
It wasn't a dance
@@harryjo1016 voguing (the type of a DANCE that Michelle and Gio did) is indeed a DANCE so I don't know what are you talking about
@@kinga3635 it's a comerical dance watch the others from previous weeks they where much better than this mess
@@harryjo1016 It might not be your flavour but that doesn't make it wrong. Do your research.
@@tokyos7459 there wasnt enough footwork, it was a poor routine for this stage of the competition and got what it deserved.
Voguing is dancing, however this is a competition. I loved the routine, but I dont think it was competitive enough at this stage.
Agreed.
Agreed it was too simple for this level.
She could have done so much with it as well which is the real shame. There's such a rich catalogue of moves in vogueing but this was basic. Walking with a few gestures every now and again when it should have been stacked with moves and poses.
@Yousef Amin Lazy is accurate. Funny thing is you get the feeling that if this was a dance on Drag Race Michelle would tear the dancer a new one.
ua-cam.com/video/RLzP6121dlo/v-deo.html
Why wasn't she trying this stuff? Could you imagine she doing the compact and mirror routine from Willi? It would have slayed the judges. If you watch the source material for the routine, Madonna's VMA performance, even when singing her dancing on the chorus was more captivating than this.
But, do you know who does love this? Vanessa Hudgens. She's so into Voguing right now.
@Patrick Challenor what editing? This was a live performance, all strictly episodes are, there was no editing. It was all the choreography.
This was the winning dance for me. So much more meaning than people gave it credit for. Thank you for bringing this to prime time TV🙌🏽❤️
This was HER DANCE!!
OF COURSE MICHELLE WOULD PAY HOMAGE TO HER QUEEN. LOVE IT.
Although I loved her reasons for doing this dance, she would have been better off doing it back in the studio. For Blackpool you need dances that fill the space and this was just a load of posing- I'm aware that that's what "voguing" is and she performed her best as she usually does but it wasn't enough. Everyone else had showstopper dances or grand, sweeping ballroom ones and she was the only one that didn't really bring the house down.
She's posed her way out of Strictly !
100% agree!!!
The issue is that Michelle doesn’t have control over the choreography or content. She only gets so much input. Plus Couple’s Choice really needs to be judged by professionals of that field, not classically trained ballroom and Latin dancers. I think she did fantastically with the armography and what little she was actually given.
As other people have said, Strictly really needs to sort out its organisation of these Couple’s Choice dances because they don’t work being in separate weeks; they should all be put into one singular week. That way it’s easier to critique them all on par with each other and not against classical dances. And they’d be able to get people qualified in those styles of dance as judges for that week.
Michelle doesn’t deserve to go home for something that was entirely out of her control.
@@emilydolores6458 That's actually a good idea about the couple's choices, would make it more fairer and I have been sceptical about the judges decisions, particularly on street/commercial which is so far flung from their own specialities. Michelle got a little input in the choice; she wanted it to be Madonna and Vogue for what it meant to her, I don't know how much control Giovanni actually had over the choreography either, but there should have been a discussion somewhere between Giovanni- who actually has knowledge of performing in Blackpool- and the choreographers, where they made some sort of compromise to have one section the Vogue part and the rest involving some footwork along with the armography due to the fact that it was to be performed in Blackpool and not a small studio. No she doesn't but unfortunately the other dances were far more enjoyable and that's just how it goes!
I love Michelle but i completely agree, it wasn't a showstopper compared to the other dances
The fact that she got sent home voguing when she has been doing it longer than this song has existed for.
Amazing choreography, the boys were awesome!
Miselle must have had a hard time trying not to lip sync the song.
Gio is sooo hot omg, the way he is feeling himself makes him incredibly attractive
I got chill every time watching this. What a performance. So goodddddddddd
She did that!!! Looks so effortless and flawless
I loved this dance, but you can’t escape the level of difficulty compared to the other dances, which is what I think brought this down so much.
Michelle getting kicked off the week she did 'Vogue' is an absolute travesty
Some wonderful creative flair and very enjoyable chemistry has just disappeared down a rabbit hole from Strictly. How you both interpreted the music was excellent. You were both living the part in every dance and I loved that chemistry ! Michelle you gave a great message about inclusion too.
That was actually dope.
Wish there was more interaction between the two of them in this dance.
Giovanni & Michelle, Loved your performance, you had me up strutting my stuff, must have lost a few 1bs to this iconic tune.
That switch at 1:35 SLAYS ME EVERY TIME! I NEED TO LEARN TO VOUGE
They were amazing! This is called Voguing, this is how you do.
As someone who was an active part of the Ballroom community, it's really sad to see Michelle do so little actual Voguing here, it's basically a bit of arm and hand performance and a few poses.
@MrBanstupidity I'm not saying that it's not vogue. But it isn't old way, it's not femme, it's not new way. It's a bit of hand performance. I'm not saying Michelle has to do dips and spins and duck walks and whatnot, but she knows her stuff, she was a voguer who used to compete in Ballroom, mostly in Vogue Femme to my knowledge.
@MrBanstupidity I agree, she could walk Runway or Face with this! To me personally it just sadly didn't even register as a choreography. I know that there's only so much you can do with so little time to sell a dance, and I'm not trying to invalidate her doing what she did. I just think that there could've been a bit more, idk, harder movements involved? Even something a bit quicker like figure eight stuff would've maybe changed it up a bit. Maybe it's also challenging because Vogue has been beginning to enter the mainstream and known dancers have been doing and perfecting it for decades.
@@colouredquiet2407 I thought exactly the same. She didn't vogue. She served face. They'd have done better to have a ballroom routine with. Vogue breakdown and really go IN on the voguing
It's not much of anything. In Madonna's own words, it was "teductive".
@MrBanstupidity nah , in old vogue your movements needed to be SHARP AS A KNIFE, and fast, it didn't matter if you foot worked or not , this was awful
At first I was like “WHY ISN’T SHE LIP SYNCING HONEY NOOOO” then I realised and was like “Oh yeah this is strictly-”
Proving Michelle is a true pro, spot on performance!
OK gio is giving me life in this performance 😏
This couple always delivers on concept and originality ❤️
Gio is so elegant
They should be paid more often with Johannes
All 8s? Not a single 9? Why? I know it's still a good score, and I know they were all got scores, but still, she was the lowest of the night. Again, why? It was quirky, charming and innovative. She was confident and Giovanni really embraced it. You see, this is how you convey a message, and show both sentiment and skill! Go on, Michelle!!
Bessie Burnet I really like Michelle but this dance was not good. It lacked any difficulty compared to the others and was just a lot of walking around. It baffles me they thought this was a good idea to do and that it would get high marks.
Pretty obvious the judges hated this. They gave it 8s only because they knew she was going to be bottom anyway and to avoid embarrassing her. I suspect they really wanted to go much lower.
Reminds me of the pose dance the pros did a few weeks ago but without the dancing
I thought I was the only person who felt this was amazing but it's nice to read this comments 😭💙
First time I've watched and love strictly for about a decade, wrong choice sending her home. My queen, my winner ❤
This was FANTASTIC! They absolutely nailed it and I hope they get to stay.
Omg yasssss😂😂
This is my first time tuning into SCD and I gotta say Giovanni is GORGEOUS! He was serving me face and eyebrows hunty
Michelle Visage. In this week's challenge, your rendition of Vogue was headline worthy and your Marie-Antoinette runway made us lose our heads. Condragulations, my dear, you are the winner of this week's challenge.
Compared to the Jive from Kelvin, the Charleston from Karim and Alex' Paso... I think, she will move out tomorrow. But I like Michelle, she is wonderful :-)
,
some of her facial expressions are hilarious! lol
I love the tribute to the MTV award performance Michelle is definitely Madonna's biggest fan.
Can't stop watching this on repeat.
A was screaming the whole time whilst watching this live and my brother said “it’s so bad she isn’t even dancing and what is she wearing it so ugly” I started screaming at him
I quite liked this actually I think it suited Michelle to a tea
Daaaaaaaamn Michelle vogeing is so perfect !!! Like wooooow, props to you mama!!
She absolutely killed this!
criminally underscored...
Criminally overscored.
I was hoping for the Vogue since the start of the Season.
Michelle Lady, You got attitude...🙏
Michelle, dare to be DIFFERENT and FOLLOW YOUR HEART! Even if you go down on Sunday night, you did it at least with a bang!
Thank you, Michelle ❤️🧡💛💚💙
I’ve never acc realised how much Michelle looks like Madonna
This is the definition of "underscored".
This is giving me everything!!!!!!!! Loved it Michelle!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Ru would be so proud
Nice performance. I wish Johannes was part of it though.😊
Whattt noo she was on the bottom. That was incredible 😱😱💕💕💕
Michelle Visage serving you FACE, FACE, FACE, FACE
You Betta Werk mama!
How could they not have worked. in the part where Madonna lifted her skirt? That was a key part of the performance!
Thank you Michelle!!! Lgbtq comunitty is soooo proud of you and Gio!!! ♥️
To see a straight man embrace traditional femininity like this is so uplifting 🤘🏼More men need to take note that the way you act doesn't change who you are
Why's nobody talking about how perfectly flamboyant Giovanni was here
I love Michelle Visage on Rupaul! I honestly thought her performance here was perfection. Her outfit and resemblance to Madonna was incredible. She is a 👑 x
