Danny Mac & Oti Mabuse Samba 'Magalenha' by Sergio Mendes - Strictly Come Dancing 2016 Final 

The true winner = everyone who got to view this perfection. Gutted he didn't win.

The greatest samba ever danced on Strictly Come Dancing.

I am absolutely gutted danny and oti didn't win. they gave the show something it's never seen before. oti's choreography was insanely amazing, so fresh and intense and just always had the wow factor. Danny dances so beautifully with such authenticity and charisma. I am so sad they didn't win. they are the true winners and it's their performances we will never ever forget. the best routines, the best dancing and the best partnership ever on strictly. I genuinely feel so sad and feel they have been robbed

THE BEST DANCER EVER TO BE ON THE SHOW. We will never see anyone like him again. 10!!!

That 'African Walk' was even better than the first time, if that was even possible. Finally someone who's a celeb who danced a Samba and looked like a pro! No brainer: 10!

I think this will go down as the best routine a celebrity has performed on strictly. Ever.

That boy danced that like he was born to be wild. Wow!

Oti, the best choreographer.

Easily should have been the winner tonight... Dance training or not, Danny was on a completely different level to the rest of the celebs and Oti was nothing but brilliant either, what a woman!!! And and amazing partnership! Also previous dance training hasn't stopped winners on past series either!!!! Ah well, Danny + Oti you guys are the winners in my eyes ❤️ complete perfection from start to finish

You are my winner Danny Mac & Oti Mabuse. Thank you very much for your amazing Rumba.

Such a shame they didn't win- the best male dancer Strictly's ever had and ever will have.

This final played out like a movie. We had the naturally gifted lead take up dance with his amazing partner. They get to the final of the big competition they've dedicated months to. And then they make a mistake int he first dance. Their second dance is a masterpiece. And then they go all out with their favourite, iconic routine. But they don't win. It goes to the competitor. A bittersweet ending, but they journey was so good and they made Strictly history with that Samba.

This will forever be my favourite strictly dance and strictly couple. Oti creates beyond magical dances that I can't stop watching and Danny has improved sooooo much during this competition. The public seem to never vote for the couple that most people really want to win but I think we all know that Danny and Oti are the true winners based on the fact that there will never been a couple like them. Winners in my eyes 💃🏾🚶🏽❤️xx

Danny Mac you were robbed of the win. You are so talented and have an incredible technical ability. You were the most outstanding dancer this series and your consistency was admirable. I doubt your dancing could be topped in any future series of Strictly. Well done 👍🏼You should be so proud of what you achieved. Amazing 😬

Yasss Danny Mac has officially tied the Strictly record for most perfect scores! And he is now officially the best male celeb, and the 2nd best celeb dance in Strictly history. Now for them to win! Pleaseeee

The best series so far, finishing with the best dance of the series danced better than the first time. Who cares who won? That was sensational.

This was wicked!!!!

happy for ore as he seems like such a lovely man and had a great journey but deep down i was team doti all the way, this is the greatest strictly dance ever tbh

Rightful winner in my eyes!! So sad for Oti that she never got to lift the trophy as she is by far the best pro dancer and choreographer amazing routines!! :(

That left me breathless. AMAZING DARLING!

Oti is just spectacular to watch. Literally cannot take my eyes off her. Wonderful dance.

Oti is just incredible!!!

My winners. Our winners.

Danny Woz Robbed ☹️Still the most amazing Samba Ever Seen. ❤️❤️

I love Ore!!! He was my second favourite so I guess over anyone else, I'm glad he won.. but Danny should have! Danny has been phenomenal throughout and I know people say "we like someone who's had a journey" but personally, I don't give an f about that. I just like someone if they blow me away consistently and make me excited for the following week just to see what they produce. An incredible talent, Danny. Oti gave great choreography and I'm also happy that on her second season she got so far considering last time she didn't get a good person so she was out early.

Best Strictly routine of all time. X

OMG he was robbed. they all danced well, but Danny had a real 'magic' about his dancing. This samba is quite possibly the best strictly has ever had!

I could watch this and their show dance for ever. This is the best Samba I've seen on Strictly and the show dance was awesome. This is my highlight of SCD2016

Wow that dance is just amazing to watch can't take my eyes off it, that is by far the best dance on that show in my opinion I hope he keeps dancing lol because he was just great disappointed he didn't win he totally deserved it

Danny Mac & Oti Mabuse should have won by a big margin the BBC favored ORE ODUBA as the sport presenter....

Watching their first performance of this samba and this finale you can really see how much he has improved. I am glad they performanced this samba again as it was a great combination of talent, skill, and passion through Danny, Oti, the band, the make up and wardrobe teams, the lighting, etc... Superb!

This dance revitalised my interest in the show, it was all getting a bit predictable. Stunning stage lighting and scene to go with the dance too.

Excellent! The competition was so close! I really thought Danny would win. They all did so well!

I didn't think it was possible but this was even better than the first time...

Incredible! Incredible! Just incredible!

Actually improved from the one before - complete confidence and letting-lose - I was afraid that his first dance would get him down, so this is all the more impressive! So glad they got that synchro-problem sorted in the middle. Well-deserved 10 and a true natural talent.

Four years on I still can't believe they were not crowned champions.

Love love love this dance 💜

I would just like to say how utterly devastated I am that these two didn't win. I've watched Strictly since I was little girl and I have never enjoyed watching two people as much as Danny and Oti. Everything about them, their technique, their chemistry, their personality, was just out of this world. These two were breathtaking and Oti's choreography is the best this show has seen. How these two didn't win just sums up this awful year. I'm afraid to say that after this travesty, Strictly has finally put me off and I don't wish to see next season. Please don't say Ore came on a "journey" and Danny didn't; Ore peaked at the beginning and spent most of the competition being mediocre and then the judges overmarked him so he could win. If you watch Danny carefully, you can see him improving every week, especially in his confidence in his dance ability. I just want to end by saying that I am so lucky to have seen these two dance and for me, they will always be the winners in my eyes. 💖

Dance is the most wonderful thing

I have to make another comment. AMAZING!

Lol poor guy came up against the Clifton's really had no chance did he don't worry you guys are the real winners of 2016.

danny should have won :( this samba was on fire

Should have won! Totally Unfair.

I wish they'd done their American Smooth to Misty Blue, because I thought it was so beautiful. However the judges didn't seem to like it as much as this samba, so I can understand why they went with this one. If Danny and Oti don't win it will be a traversty.

I'd give anything to dance this alone with Danny ;) I just fall in love @ 0:24! He's steaming hot...

AMAZING BEST DANCE

Oh my god I 💖u to guy's I give you a 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS NEVER GETS OLD. FAV ROUTINE EVER

Best samba on either SCD or DWTS ever, doubt it will be beaten.

Best dancers

this song keeps playing on my mind 😎

I'm scratching my head how can this lose?! Ha! The British are funny

Danny and Oti should've won. I was so annoyed and I cried when they didn't win.

After watching some 'sambas' on DWTS earlier, I just had to come back here and remind myself what it's supposed to look like. I sincerely hope Magalenha has been retired from the Strictly song list, because anyone else who dances to it will be judged against this masterpiece, and almost surely will be found wanting.

DANNY TO WIN

Oti darling, u defo should have gone for that kiss pmsl 😂

Danny by far should of won he was the better dancer and I'm so annoyed that Ore won... your my winner Danny!!

Eu como Brasileira achei perfeito. Estou encantada!

This song means so much can’t believe it’s forty years

Danny should've won. His Samba was better than all of the other contestants and I think he deserved to win.

Bring it Danny Mac!! ;)

I never tire of watching this...

I still smile watching this. Perfection.

Im gutted he didnt win he has been consistently incredible throughout yes louise and ore were great but Danny was on another level he has been robbed lol

He was that good and came second!!! BLIMEY the standard was stratospheric this year!

Favorite Dance so far on SCD, but I still believe Ore deserved to win... - *My Opinion* -

The lighting for this dance was incredible. So much better than the cheap-looking AR they used in 2020.

Still loving this in 2020 lockdown part 2 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I usually don't like Sambas, but this one was really great! Loved the theme and the music too.

I loved loved loved this dance yet loved ore soooooooooooo much I so can't believe he won I'm soooooooooo happy

Who else is here reminiscing in 2022 coz Oti is leaving??? Best routine ever - will miss her fire 🔥 & choreography on the dancefloor.

Danny should have won, im no longer watching scd if its that fixed, this was a no brainer.

Just looked at some comments here, yes Danny Mac is a brilliant dancer. However, drama school does teach some dancing. Ore had had no dance lessons at all, strictly is about the ability to dance but also the longest JOURNEY. Ore Oduba ticked both boxes completely , incredible competition.

Brave and brilliant!

My favourites!

I love this dance

Them hip actions🔥🔥

oti should definitely go to dwts now...scd doesn't deserve her 😕

Resist the devil, you can do it flee, in the strength God gives you in Christ, rejoce in Christ tho, you don’t need that evil you hold on too, repent and trust Jesus, trust Him 💃🏻❤️

Wow.

Danny should have won. ;-;

Even better and more expressive than the first time. And they didn't win. Even in 2020 the mind boggles😐

Best best dance on strictly ever. So unique and original andthey were robbed. Wow

Danny should have won

this dance was absolutely fantastic and so was there show dance, how didn't they win ??? ore didn't deserve to win

Danny and Oti should have won they put some much time effort and energy into there dances there were robbed big time from the title

As much as I love this dance, I really wish they had done something from earlier on in the competition. This already had a 40 and didn't feel like he could improve on much in the dance because it was so good the first time round. Would have loved to have seen his Jive or Cha Cha instead.

ROBBED !!!

a better performance from the first one! the basic Samba at 00.54 could have been done better, more action in the hip and knees especially, however at 01.25 was a spot on improvement from the first time round for sure!! it was more 'top half' at 00.54 which distracted from the basic move, that's the only thing I could put my finger on lol there were a few arm movements at the beginning which were a bit off but I would put that down to nerves so wouldn't impose point reduction as it still looked ok, he soon relaxed and enjoyed it which is what dancing is all about...... feeling the music and getting the vibe and then it will flow :)

He was robbed. Should have won

At the start of the video the man calls them strictly come dancing champions don't know why it's been cut out of this video, BBC covering their fixes

Oh my

First James and Sharna on Dancing with the Stars and now Danny and Oti on Strictly... FFS! Why are my favourites always losing?! Both of them had the most memorable dances on their seasons. Ore was a snoozefest and always crying (so annoying!) and Val's choreography for Laurie wasn't anything special. Congrats to Ore and Laurie but James and Danny are the winners in my book!

I swear I thought this was two pros doing a demo. I had no idea he was a contestant. #fuckingincredible

I still to this day dont understand why they didn't win.

10

I feel sorry for the couple who came next. 'FOLLOW THAT.. if you dare' Best dance, EVA, in my opinion.

who cares if danny had previous dance experience this is getting tedious and boring. he should have won so sad he didnt.

GUTTED. Best Dance Ever. Sorry... HOW DID THEY NOT WIN. WHY PPL NOT VOTE HIM.
