Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer Samba to Calm Down by Rema ft. Selena Gomez ✨ BBC Strictly 2023 

I love Karen, each and every look and movement she does is done to encourage her partners I can’t see that somehow in some of the others

Love it, great song, ive got to get this on my USB stick. Good dancing too, really enjoyed watching them, well done

This dance was good! If Eddie goes out he will surely be missed!

Beautiful performance

Very good Eddie and Karen

To me this was great.

The hips are there!

🎶🎶🤗🥰💃💖🕺🏽😍😇🎶🎶

wow love these two

I honestly thought they would bounce back from last week but sadly it's likely not the case. Thought Eddie was cautious in his dancing and letting it loose. The song was a choice.. 6/10

Mixed feelings on that one. Pros and cons. One the one hand, technically good. His isolation in his body and hips was built for this. However... maybe it's the choreography and song, but it's just so careful... So steppy. He still needs to flow. He needs to join every move not go from 1 stop next. It could have been so much better.

Is this what you call fun? How many times have I been wondering how this or that participant who got thrown out would have done over time, and rejoiced us with his or her progression. How much more rewarding to see people evolve, and for us to be caring toward those who give heart, soul and body for our enjoyment. Too much damage.

5/10 His hips were really good which I feel was the only thing keeping the dance going, I wasn’t too keen on the song choice and the choreography was a bit strange tonight. He did go wrong a couple of times, this week might be his time to go.

I love Eddie him Zara and Adam are my favorites I'll be really sad if he goes 😢

My Score: 6 There’s definitely some improvement here but it strangely lacked the rythym we saw in his Cha-Cha. A little disappointing sadly. Think this week might be his time to go 😢

Eddie has a lot of potential, but I think Karen didn't know how to guide him 😢

Time for him to go this week

Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer Next dancing the Samba. This dance should have suited Eddie, this dance is upbeat, fun and one were you can really work your hips in so this dance was made for Eddie however tonight it was not to be. He needed to loosen up and relax he was to stiff and his free arm needs attention as well.

How the mighty have fallen. But I do like this guy. Have a good day reader

Time for them to go. Not a bad performance though. I like it. 7/10

I'll be honest I don't know why but something really didn't work. I don't know if it was the song, the dance or weirdly the performance for Eddie. It just seems like he's really plateaued ever since Week 1 and we've not seen that progress like we have with other dancers (Just to be clear I know that some of them are trained but I'm not referring to those, I'm referring to the non-dancers like Krishnan, Zara and even people like Adam) and I think the problem was there was a massive disconnect. It was like he really was trying to deliver that Samba content but he was failing and the thing is whilst the hips are important, just shaking them are not the way to win. 5.

There were bits that I thought were good, but I reckon he might be in trouble this week again... Also, Karen's outfit was a bit strange..

Is this week 5? She left that week and last year she was out on week 5 to 😮😂

Me-3 My mum-7 My sis-5 My nan-8 23/40

our scores me: 7 diya: 6 kelsey: 7 owen: 6 26/40 this should’ve been his best dance. but he looked so nervous and yes there were mistakes. i think hes going to be elimimated.

Scores Me 7 Erin 7 Kevin 6 Matt 6 26/40 need step there game

Defo the latin dances favour him , when you got it ya got it & he has , tipped him from the start to reach the final but just some times ballroom lets him down

Didnt think it was that good!

I was let down, I had high hopes and was very let down, the footwork was quite poor, the top was a little stiff his arms and hands weren't very expressive. 4/10

Me-3 Jessica-4 Amelia-3 Alex-4 14/40

6 for effort

Score - *6/10* Definitely the weakest performance of the night for me, Eddie has great hip action, rhythym and energy which makes for a strong performance value but the Samba was a mess, so jerky and lacklustre, I was inbtween with Motsi, Shirley and Anton with the cortajacka, he did do the heel lead which was good but he didn't exactly place it backwards very well. His hands are so poor for week 5, absolutely 0 care or use and I did notice a few mistakes and hesitaions. I'm afraid it seems Eddie had his moment in movie week already, I had hoped that Latin would have been much stronger than his Ballroom but it wasn't any better than last week. Atleast this dance was recognisable to the dance style, unlike the Cha Cha 😄

Sorry but hes got to go 6/10

Doesn’t deserve to be bottom, I think it was under marked and I hope he isn’t in the bottom 2.

the song rendition was not great at all, the music execution really impacts how the performance is perceived.

Really gutted with this...the song choice was awful, which affected the choreography which was consequently poor. I thought Eddie would exceed in the Samba as he has natural rhythm, but was rarely seen during this dance. I do feel like Karen hasn't brought the best out of Eddie: the Cha Cha Cha, American Smooth and the Samba weren't greatly choreographed so I think Eddie could've performed better with a different pro but he's definitely out which sucks. 6

Disappointing. I thought the samba was ideal for him, but it wasn't very good. And the choreography wasn't very good either.

I had high hopes for this as he has great hips but I was let down slightly. His footwork was quite poor, and it lacked hip action slightly. He just stood there in some spots too. He needs to flow a bit more I think, especially in a Samba! He needs to take every movement in and all that. But it was good though, there were some bits I liked!

Mixed. He does well then boom. Not consistent. Sorry but him and Zara were not at their best tonight. 6

Not for the finals. To poor😢😢😢😢

...A laugh, a minute! Eddie, you can do better than that! Still, fun to watch!

Choreography wasn’t good at all

I think there is a bit of a vendetta against Eddie & Karen....the music/songs haven't been great for them, (compared to say Nigel & Katja who get all the great ones 🙄) Karen is a great Pro, and is usually fab, but i do feel she is a little off this season ☹️.

If you look at the strictly spoiler Eddie is eliminated

The best thing about this dance is Karen's aesthetic, I'm sorry this was definitely the worst this week

Lost in dance off.

Not my cup of tea😢

Score - 4/10 Ok, I absolutely love the energy and confidence that Eddie put into this, but it really wasn't great as a samba. His free arm placements were stiff and the footwork was very lackluster - there were a few mistakes. I was expecting this to be way better to be honest because he showed potential for latin dances during his cha cha; he had good hip action and rhythm, but it just seemed to have downgraded in this dance. It needed a lot more bounce as well. Overall, his performance skills are awesome and his personality shines all over the dancefloor but it wasn't a good dance technically.

Scores Craig 5 good energy.Not so good kept stoping and starting.Mosti 6 good did see a flow.Not so good disappointing footwork.Shirley6 good did it well.Not so good a few mistakes.Anton 7 good love your free style.Not so good sometimes lose it.Total 24.1st place bottom of the leaderboard.Results In the dance off and out.

The judges are setting him up for failure. He'll be in the bottom two this because of their comments, which is a shame, because he is one of the best male dancers, on this show, this year.

Bro how is no one taking about how TRASH this cover is???

I love karen but shes not the best at choreography 😭

The singing was bad. You mean you couldn't get a better singer.

The protesters exhasibate the mobility with injections because of the daughters biological father. Its a shame. Same issue on holiday after rasputin played by the hotel staff. Chris Alex 9 17.

Disappointed. I thought the song choice would have worked and it may have gone better if the song had been better delivered and beat was more up tempo. Especially since it is an Afro beats song. Something was definitely off. Sorry to see you go Eddie. Nice attempt.
