AJ and Kai Couple's Choice to Make Me Feel by Janelle Monáe ✨ BBC Strictly 2021 

AJ - 'I'm going to dedicate this dance to my family' Also AJ - *goes onto perform one of the sexiest dances in recent years*

Aj is one of the most consistent dancers, it was exciting, sexy and brilliant.

This dance was definitely undermarked, I can’t see why Cynthia gave her a lower score than Dan?!

Cannot believe Cynthia gave her an 8 after her comments and that incredible performance, undermarked again for such an amazing dance choreography wise and execution wise

Can we just take a moment to appreciate a couple’s choice done in heels and not wearing identical matching costumes 😂 this was phenomenal 👏

AJ is a dance GODDESS... and Kai.. What a man!!!!

I couldn't imagine any of the female dancers improving on this. Yet again my vote goes to AJ and Kai.

Undermarked. I can’t see any other contestant pulling off what she just did. Love their partnership 😍

they definitely undermarked her, this dance deserved a 40, this girl is delivering every week, one of the most consistent dancers, I cant believe Cinthia gave her an 8

AJ and Kai to win but I know the bookies have Giovanni and Rose for the win. Just need to vote until we break the bank.😁💯💯💯

Honestly this was better than either of the showdances in the final. So gutted that they didn't get a chance, I really would've voted for AJ & Kai to win

This dance was insane!!! You can’t tell who is the pro and who is the celeb. Should have been 10’s across the board.

Kai and aj wnnners in most dances technically . Just great.

Kai is giving me major Channung Tatum vibes somehow, looking HOT! That dance was sizzling, I had to replay it because I wanted more!

Certainly best dance of the night,these two have more than chemistry!

The most underrated dance ever in Strictly history! This deserved a 10!

Motsi would have given this a 10. Bring her back

Excuse me! 36???? WTH?!?!?!?! THIS WAS A SOLID 40!!!!

A lot of pros could learn from Kai, how he managed to put all the spotlight on the contestant instead of himself. He was an equal partner in this dance yet everything he did was to highlight the talent of AJ.

Shirley is the only one with taste here smh. that was phenomenal

As amazing as AJ was in this kai walk after the table section was truly mesmerising.

I think this might be my favourite ever Strictly performance. I was watching it at my Mum's house the other day and my sister who doesn't watch the show had to ask me which one the professional was. I'm still gutted that these 2 weren't able to compete in the final.

This is a big fat 40 in anyone’s book, as any tiny glitches should surely be overturned by the pure magic of this routine, with shades of Fosse, MJ, Latin…and that chemistry! Hope all the judges are fit and well next week as AJ can well do without Cynthia’s ‘love’ TYVM as they have to make the final - love, love, LOVE!

Finally a couples choice where I’m not like “ what is actually going on ?”

Undermarked. This dance was FIRE

The of best dance of the series

This was SO UNDERMARKED - was a 40 for me!!

Absolutely scandalous that Cynthia gave this an 8 and Dan a 9

Their chemistry together is so hot 🔥🔥🔥 and Kai in that hat I’m loving it hahaha

These two look so good together

Absolute fire. No other words to describe it. These two and their chemistry is truly insane!

Green dress,black hat ,wonderful song,AJ and Kai magical

That move at 0:48!! I could literally keep rewatching that!!

AJ, you dropped this 👑 Gracious even in the face of scathing undermarking and plain bias at this point Please let her get a 40!! What must she do to prove she has earned it??

Probably the best performance of this season so far. You see this and you sure want to dance and that's what is it about. They're the real stars of the show.

Dazzling 🤩💚🖤🤩 Anyone else spot the post dance bum pat? They're a couple 💑 now fo sho

Still come back to this nearly a year on , it was a winning performance and seriously under marked !! It still gives me goosebumps…..I can watch it over and over again and not get bored ….perfection 👌👌👌❤️

I give AJ and Kai 10 out of 10! This was just phenomenal. Everything I wanted from AJ I got. AJ, you are truly a star!

omfg it felt like watching a guest performance🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of the best contestants strictly has ever had idc

For everyone rightly annoyed by this diabolical scoring make sure you vote for AJ every week, it’s the viewers votes that make the ultimate difference and she deserves to raise the trophy! If she doesn’t win it’ll be frustrating for ages, I know Danny Mac’s fans are still annoyed so pleaseeeee vote!

This is the best dance I've seen on strictly this year. The chemistry and sharpness..brilliant!

This was the dance of the night 😍😍

Honestly, AJ and kai should been winners of 2021 strictly, if this world was fair

Just wow! In the history of strictly where we have seen the line between the capability of the professional and celebrity blurred, I think AJ stands out as one of the very best... And with no previous dance training just the longing to learn. My fear like with Danny Mac and Oti, or Natalie and Artem, they won't win. But she will be remembered for many years to come. I agree undermarked! Electrifying performance where she just gives everything. Kai is an extremely lucky professional to be partnered with her❤️❤️

Score - *10/10* I'm never going to forget this dance, this will live on in strictly history for a long time! The music was absolutely perfect for a dance like this, the leg action in those lines and lifts is absolutely extraordinary. Every single move had power, detail and meaning, it was so sultry and sassy, the musicality of this was off the charts, all the shoulder rolls and head turns, hair flicks etc were just so clean. This was an absolutely classy way to rock a Jazz performance and in my opinion extremely undermarked and ive lost all respect for Cynthia after that, giving her an 8 and Dan a 9, smh 😒. I'm just glad that we got to see this tonight that was such a mic dropping performance AJ should be so proud of herself it was just gorgeous. First class dancing the performance and energy was fire!!! 🔥🎆💅🎇

this felt real!!! pure emotions. i felt like they were in love. the connection was great. no cheesy stuff. once again my vote goes to AJ

I love how its to the point now where it isn’t even chemistry between them they’re literally just in love 😂

They packed so much into 90 seconds. Amazing.

I'll never get tired of watching this dance

Outrageously undermarked, this was a 40

JUST WANT TO SAY IT'S WEEK 10 AND OUR QUEEN AJ STILL HASN'T GOT A 40. THE INJUSTICE?!

Criminally undermarked

My favourite couple. Hope they win. The chemistry and the way they compliment each other is off the charts. I also love Kai’s pale skin and that he doesn’t wear fake tan, I think it makes him look sexy

my favourite dance of the series by any dancer

I wasn't expecting such a sexy dance after such an emotional VT lol. This was great, it wasn't perfect, but loved her attitude and sassiness, and the really dangerous risks they took; where she bends backwards over him to say "damn" and jumped on him at the end, insane.

DAMN!!! Amazing talent from the both of them. I hope AJ wins.. She looks like a Professional dancer and really,gotto love her body and fluidity. Hope she goes on to Musicals... She deserves to pursue a career in dance after this.. AJ for the win!!!

That was insane - amazing dance and Choreography. How Cynthia give that an 8 and gave Dan a 9 for a lame Rhumba, is an absolute joke!!!! But can we just take a second to appreciate how hot Kai looked in that hat!😍🔥

I respect Cynthia but she praised AJ and then gave her an 8 for one of the best couples choices all series? Wish Motsi was here lol. Amazing routine, so fresh

Brilliant. Having him all in black meant he was like a shadow leaving the spotlight on her. And those legs?... wow!

AJ channelled Cyd Charisse tonight with the green dress and some of those moves (Singing in the Rain) the lifts were fab

So I randomly decided to re watch this and WOW. This is every bit as sensational now as it was when I first watched it live. I don’t know what it is about this dance but the chemistry is off the charts. One of the best dances I’ve ever seen on strictly and probably the best couples choice ever

One of the my favourite dances ever on Strictly! So undermarked.

Lost count of the number of dance styles in this fusion, and yet it still felt cohesive and fluid. The lifts and tricks were seriously impressive. Felt some of the steps could have been sharper or more excentuated but wow - this is how you nail the new look couples choice. 9

Aj is Dymamite on the dance floor.

My favourite.. she's bloody firecracker is what she is and she really ought to keep this going beyond strictly!! ❤️

From the second they started, I would’ve thought: “THIS NEEDS A 10!!”

THIS was the dance of the night. AJ was invested in every beat of this, her power was right there to see & she completely entranced me. She was captivating & had the strongest performance compared with her other two front runners Rose & John. AJ, Rose & John for the Final. Throw in Dan (who hasn’t been the strongest of dancers but) for his journey & you have a great final two weeks to end this 2021 series. If AJ can finish with 3 strong dances in the Final she could bag this.

You have got to respect that routine to be fair

These two should just get married and dance the beautiful life.❤❤

Why is this dance such a vibe 🔥 and kai with the hat pulled down over his eyes 🥵

Im really going to ignore the judges scores now because I honestly don’t know what they are not seeing that everyone else can clearly see🥺 … what a phenomenal performance, watching these two is absolute magic… the kind that Oti and Danny Mac created 💫💫🖤

Omg still my favourite couple

I must've been watching a different dance because I was spellbound by this routine. Its so different to anything we've seen before. It was cool, classy, sexy. Aj looked stunning and .... I just really didn't understand the scores 🤷🏻‍♀️

Alesha Dixon: I'm one of the most hated judges in the history of the show Cynthia Erivo: Hold my beer honey

For me AJ and Kai were the best. No way Rose would of won if AJ were ft. AJ a million times better dancer than Rose.

Kai was mesmerising & sexy in this dance, wears a hat very well, & AJ's tribute to classic Cyd Charisse looked good too!

Oh my God! Her dancing was fab!!! Choreography was just out of this world! Amazing music too!!!!!

10, under-marked as we have to expect, but she was phenomenal, arguably the best dancer this year

I loved this and although I'm not normally bothered about the scores, surely someone at the BBC must have noticed that AJ has been consistently under-marked this series? I don't want to labour a point, or to pick on one other dancer to criticise - I think they have all done some great routines so far - but, just as an example, can any of those judges seriously stand up and say, hand on heart, that Tilly's Couple's Choice was better than this?!?! I'm not saying this was perfect, it wasn't, but the dancing, choreography, execution, chemistry and the mood was something else and I for one would be on my feet applauding if I'd just seen this number in a Broadway show. If I then found out that AJ wasn't even a professional dancer, I probably wouldn't believe it.

AJ killed this! Absolutely phenomenal ❣️

I think they were so on beat and it was marvellous

It was worthy of a 40

Best dance of the night. Seemed like an easy 40.

What grading system is AJ on? Do the judges think she's a pro? I'm American, and I can't understand why she is the only non-pro to have not gotten 40's yet when she's danced 3 40's worthy dances. This dance was excellent, and I can't honestly see anyone outside of a professional doing better. They are really robbing her on this show.

So sad I won't get to see them do this again in the finals tomorrow- I was hoping this would be one of their chosen dances. Will forever be one of my faves. Hope she continues to dance once recovered, she's been so great to watch.

Praise be to Kai, for such a brilliant choreography!!! For someone so young (25yrd) to process flawless and fluidity choreographed dance. It truly took my breath away. AJ and Kai, this dance, you couldn’t fathom the professional or the amateur!!!!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯

Definitely elements of Cyd Charisse/Gene Kelly dance routine from Singin in the Rain. Even the green dress!

One of my all time favourite Strictly dances, absolutely fantastic, definitely undermarked, Aj is my winner no matter what happens.

Bob Fosse-esque? Michael Jackson-esque? Steamy, sensuous, smoldering, and by far, my favorite piece of the night. A complex routine executed flawlessly. Every movement, down to the fingers, were deliberate. This routine also told a story; AJ created a definitive character and channeled him thru to the end. I don’t know why it didn’t score a 40(?).

My favourite routine

Totallly undermarked!!! AJ gets my vote every time. Fab u lous!!!!

Very slick yet underscored.The stand in judges score of 8 did not match her positive comments.

Getting strong Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse vibes from this -but raw! F…ing love it!

This is one of the best dance of the whole series from any of them that I have actually wanted to watch again because so far I can't say that I have been oh wow that was so good I need to see it again but this is one of them and now she stands out from the rest .

Kai, phew he was hot, AJ was hotter! Together they sizzle 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Technique-wise this isn’t AJ’s best dance; watching I can see several slips and mistakes in the routine (no shade tho, for the length of time she’d been dancing this is incredible) but performance wise this is absolutely masterful! She has the attitude, the chemistry and the poise required for this dance to an absolute T which, combined with the amazing choreography, is why this is probably my favourite dance of the season, even if it wasn’t necessarily technically perfect. I would have loved to see her perform this dance at the end of the season with a bit more experience. I think she would have been incredible

THIS DESERVED A 40 DAMMIT!!!! THIS WAS 🔥

This deserved a 40! It was incredible😍😍😍

Absolutley undermarked!!!!
