Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse Jive to ‘Long Tall Sally’ by Little Richard - Strictly 2016: Week 7 

Hear hear Caroline

💯💯👏🏽👏🏽

By far. 💜

_Ashley Roberts would like to know your location_

@@fatherfountain1906 , Did Ashley Roberts ever bravely leap off of a table whilst doing a split over her dance partner's head AFTER having done TWO quick splits in succession on the floor whilst also having done the requisite kicks and flicks for the highest-energy dance? Didn't think so. Danny Mac's the best. End of. Btw, what Danny did with his Argentine Tango is mesmerizing. How does Ashley's compare? She's great, but Danny's next-level brilliant. And Oti, of course, is a GENIUS!

@@elisawaymer8444 it was a joke calm down

Victoria Craig Who won instead? I can’t remember

@@dramaticgreyhound1071 I think Ore and Joanne annoyingly won that year :(

Yes, he was definitely robbed and should have won. Danny was consistently brilliant and amazing to watch. I've just come back and watched all his dances, they made the hairs stand up on my neck they were so good. In the Blackpool show of 2016 he was off the scale good. I could watch him dance all day.

Agree. Same here. Best dancer on Strictly EVER: Don´t remember any other competitors, but him and Nicole from DWTS stick forever.

Agree. He and Oti were robbed that year.

yes

Me :)

Yes ... me. Sad I know, but I drift back to Danny and Oti's performances every year. Danny for me is the best male Celeb ever, & he and Oti were sensational together. & should have been the outright winner.

🙌🕺🏼💃🏽❤❤Oct 2019!

Same. And 2018. and 17 and 20 and 21 ...

I totally agree, such a brilliant dancer

The BBC's so racist even oti's said so herself they hardly ever let people of colour win :(

YES! Agree with you 100%. Danny was phenomenal, my fav contestant on Strictly.

2022 now and so am i! ..... we will NEVER see his like again

P.S - if you think Danny is good, watch Oti a couple of times. Amazing.

Normally I can't take my eyes off Oti, but Danny is so good, I have to watch him. It's a testament to Oti's brilliant teaching and choreo that he's so good to look at that you can (almost) not see her.

Jay was great. But we were comparing him to basically poor male dancers in all seasons before. His Jive was great but technically Ore's kicks were better (which is important in jive) and Ore was quicker and had more speed, which makes him stand out. Danny is by far better technically than them both. Just look at his cha-cha for example.

💯💯💯💯

Nella J I’m not sure 🤔 where I was or in fact what I was doing but over and over AGAIN I saw the message “but Danny and Oti we’re far better than these two” then I did a little research for myself so again like so many other shows ITV included it’s not always the public vote (in my humble opinion that counts.)Danny in what I’ve seen of him with Oti Dances like a pro and was probably robbed of the glitter ball!

No Ashley Roberts was best

Patricia I do think he was robbed of the glitter ball trophy. He was the best contestant of his series

@@renaedickens5200 , Ashley was good, but she never leapt off of a table whilst doing a split over her partner's head AFTER having done TWO quick splits in succession on the floor whilst having also done the requisite kicks and flicks for the highest-energy dance of all, now did she? And take a gander at Danny's and Oti's Argentine Tango. Frankly all their dances - save one, are among the best in the history of the show. Oti's a genius and she helped bring Danny to peak near- perfection. That Samba! That American Smooth! Their Tango! The Paso! Their Viennese Waltz! The delightful QuickStep! Even their very first dance, the Cha Cha Cha, that they and all the contestants had more time to prepare for - is iconic. Absolutely mesmerizing all-Series long.

understandable! apparently, bbc employees are preferred over others

Danny

@Amna Amjad I was so mad that year when the chap from the BBC won over Danny & Oti. In fact, I’m still mad! 😠 Glad she & Kelvin won this year though! 🏆

nah Ore's was the best

len could have reached for his 10 paddle, but we all know craig doesn't touch his until later in series!

jennifer wedgbury Why on Earth would you be routing for Ed Balls when he CAN NOT DANCE especially when compared to Danny Mac

Queen C did you read my comment? I was saying that Danny was blatantly undermarked. His dancing deserved four 10s. I thought he was amazing, even though I'm routing for Ed. Danny will be in the final, Ed won't for obvious reasons. We all have our favourites.....

Sunny wrench

No it shouldn't have got a 40.

Marguerite Heale is that you Craig? 😂😂

@GALMA 0 oh really? Ah what a shame

Nightwhisper Draws at the quick step we are all shouting 10 and then we were shouting at 11 that is jive

Peter R C Smart same

Semi-final night 2018, and I'm back watching Danny Mac's and Jay's jives. Whenever I need a pick-me-up, they do it.

Its now the end of 2018 and I am still watching Oti Mabusa and Danny Mac dance together. I have watched Strictly since the very beginning and I still think this pair were the best there have ever been on this dance spectacular. Thank you for all the videos. I will still be watching these dances in 2019.

2019 and still coming especially to this, his QS and his AS.

2019 mate 😂

Wow lol

Fyzaa A, Danny is fantastic, I agree. And Danny put in many hours of hard work to become so wonderful. He said Oti motivated him and her own amazing work ethic rubbed off on him

BTW, Danny, you nailed the sugar push :)

Have more retraction as they mentioned and he was a bit flat-footed at times

What does he have to do?....change his name to Ore...or just start weeping on a weekly basis

@@janmaciejewski6129 yep

Wat does he have to do? Don't u know... Levitate thu air, NAKED, whilst twizzling OTI on his head and land on ti ppi-toes, whilst blindfolded. & that's f starters).. Misery Guts Craig will STILL probably "cry foul".

camera work is always appalling on the show!

lisalilsmartass how is that bad?

Danny Makes Everything HOTTT!!!

Tracey-Ann Wisdom just wish they had proper AT music to dance to, sure it will still be good though, I love these two!

Indeed. A sexy instrumental or something. "Heard it Through the Grapevine"? Really, Strictly? I swear the people in charge of selecting the music miss the mark too often.

***** Lmao! Exactly that. The AT is the definition of sexy, and this is such a non-sexy song. Don't even get me started on most of the choices for sambas, both on Strictly and Dancing with the Stars. Ugh!

Tracey-Ann Wisdom Right if they wanted a Marvin Gay song so bad for an AT, they could at least have gone with Sexual Healing - if nothing else at least it's thematically appropriate. Sometimes they get the Samba music right, examples include Matt Baker, Pixie Lott and Georgia May Foote.

Nats Nefertiti. 38. 9 10 9 10 from the judges

38 (9,10,9,10) :)

Kirsty Mitchell thank you guys. Those 10a are definitely deserved *chanting voice* DOTI, DOTI, DOTI!!!

💯💯👏🏽👏🏽❤️

Amazing

@Hayley Roche Amen!

I agree his jive was better than Ore's and I think Danny will be this year's winner but don't agree that he was better than Jay.

Selin Çetin of course Danny Mac is going to win like NO competition but his jive wasn't better than Ore's or Jay's (but only by 2 points)
