Favourite Dance: Alexandra Burke & Gorka Marquez Jive to Proud Mary - Final 2017 

it's a real shame that this girl didn't win and it's a pity that she received so much hatred in these last couple of days when she's just an amazing dancer... the BEST dance of the whole season ... Congratulations Alexandra and Gorka

For this lady to pull this out of the bag after her Mum died. Total respect Alex!!

A case of when the public isn't always right. The real winner of the entire thing is Alexandra, I was so rooting for her and watched the show just because of her. You go girl, you get 1,000,000% in terms of grace, showmanship and attitude. Keep going strong, never give up!

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW GORGEOUS GORKA LOOKS IN THIS

Did anyone else notice the little ass slap at 1:06. Gorka you cheeky devil you

Still one of my favourite strictly dances ever! I think she’d be great at playing Tina Turner in the west end show

100% my winners! I think Alexandra is wonderful in every way.

I think she should have won this hands down great dancer

I sooooooo wanted Alexandra to be the first person to win X factor and strictly

Don't know I ended up here but Alexandra Burke is one INCREDIBLE dancer...She really nailed it and was obviously loving every moment. .I don't watch Strictly but she should have won this..absolutely astounding! !!

One of the hottest Jives to ever grace the Strictly Studio. I have NO IDEA how this pair did not win this one, but no-one can deny that the talent is there! No question!

I have absolutely loved watching Alex and Gorka every week. They've brought a smile to my face with every single one of their magical performances. I'll never forget this Jive!

2023 and I'm still watching this! Jeez she's amazinggg!

A shame that someone so talented didn't win because of the hate campaign against her. Accused of over dramatising and crocodile tears, really unfair on her. Some people are just made that way, she was like that on X factor and she lost her mother months ago. She did incredible even though she never won and will continue to be a huge success

Not only is this one of the best dance routine performed by a celebrity on Strictly, but she should have won

So glad that Alexandra made it to the final, she and Gorka were a joy to watch every week :)

Gorka is one gorgeous man. Alexandra looked stunning here.

Drives me mad she didn’t win she was brilliant 🤩

I love the judges reaction Omg Bruno and Shirley giving it the support that dance deserves. Well done Alex and Gorka.

Oooft absolutely brilliant 🏆🏆🏆🌟🌟🌟. Alexandra was Amazing & she should have Win it without a Shadow of a Doubt. There was only One Winner tonight at She was Robbed xxx

Alexandra and Gorka deserved to win strictly with this dance alone.

This girl was the true winner regardles if you dont like her for whatever reason she was amaxing throught the show...and like Darcey said what ever you do next Alex i will be in the queue for my tickets ... this girl nearly out sang Beyonce .. so talented

I think this is my favourite strictly dance EVER!!!!

The best of strictly come dancing,Alexandra is the best

The real winner of Strictly 2017 - the outstanding and incredible Alexandra Burke. Alex, you were robbed but you are the true winner as you were by far the better dancer. You were sensational tonight and we, your fans, are so incredibly proud of you.

Ugghhh AMAZING!! The real winner of Stricly 2017!

Alexandra was brilliant. I honesty believe that she will be fantastic in more musical theatre and she will get awards.

1:06cheeky slap 😂

What a woman...wow.

This dance I enjoyed the first time even better the second time- fantastic!

1:15 zoom in can't NOT make you smile, HER ENERGYYYY!!!! such an amazing performance to a timeless song!

Alexandra Burke and Gorka you two are winners .

Can't get enough of Gorka&Alexandra

INCREDIBLE! The retraction in those kicks for a non Latin dancer is amazing! Up there with Danny Mac for best dancer ever!! We might never see anyone like her again! 10 10 10.

Pure perfection that's all...

Amazing; my favourite jive to date! And Bruno and Shirley were adorable dancing along in the background... 10!!!

What a fantastic routine. Great mood, fantastic footwork, it was just sensational. Sharp, bouncy, light on her feet, very energetic, a jive of a fabulous quality. Fantastic!! A 10.

Fierce and electrifying Jive!! Outstanding dance couple!

She didn’t win because she was too good from the start - same with Danny. This happens literally every year!

It seems on this programme if your good right from the off people hate you for it the people that should’ve won and didn’t because of this is numerous

Bless her mum just died then aswell 😢

Mannnnnn.....Watching that performance alone....Strictly has never quite hit those heights in recent series ( other than Kelvin and Oti) Still love the show but Alexandra was pure gold!!!!!!

Saturday 16th December 2017

Alexandra Burke, Danny Mac and Natalie Gumade were all robbed! How on earth did Joe McFadden win over this beautiful dancing diva? Her paso doble and her jive were the best dances of the season. Period. Her marks spoke for themselves! Debbie or Alexandra would've been the more deserving 2017 winner!

Spectacular. Take from this experience, only the beautiful moments. Know that so many people are celebrating you. You were excellent, phenomenal, a delight and a privilege to watch.

She should definitley have lifted the trophy.

Alexandra Burke is the real winner of this year's Strictly. This jive was the dance of the season and along with her spectacular show dance Alexandra proved she is the best dancer on Strictly this season. Her routines were all better than anything the other 3 couples performed and my heart really does go out to her tonight as she was the deserved and rightful winner. So sad that the public voted for who they liked as a person over who was the better dancer and after all the bad press Alex wrongfully received, she could have got 160/80 for her 3 dances and still not have won. It didn't matter to the public that Alex was the best dancer, Joe was more popular and that's what swung it for him. He wasn't a better dancer than Alexandra, far from it, he was just liked more. Alexandra is the true winner and should know that all her fans are so proud of her and she will always be a winner in our eyes. You were robbed Alex and on behalf of the voting public you deserve an apology.

EXCELENT PERFORMANCE SALUDOS DELIMA PERU EXITOS Y MIL BENDICIONES ALEXANDRA BURKE

Watching this for the billionth time now!

her first performance of this jive I thought 9! the under leg pull was not good and feet weren't perfect however tonight she absolutely nailed it!!! great timing, feet right on point and the under leg pull went great (even had the slide instead of the patter of feet throughout it!) fabulous!!! 10s for this were a no brainer!!!

Come back and watch this every time I need to smile

God bless

That was EXCELLENT

One of my favourite females of all time on strictly.. brilliant to watch

Talented lady. One of the best.

I’m shook! How is she doing that with HEELS!!!

Booty slap at 1:06 👀😂

Alexandra and Gorka deserved to win that final

Best jive ever! Robbed of the trophy

Wow!! Alexandra you are flawless, best dancer i ever seen on strictly.

My fave Alexandra dance 😃

And also one of the best jives ever ! ♥️🔥♥️ They were a great partnership ♥️

I love them! How gorgeous is Gorka!!😍😍😍

Still up there as one of the best jives on SCD!

I love that Shirley and Bruno stand up and dance during the routines, I hope Shirley stays for 2018 Strictly.

the dance was as good as the first time i watched the dance and love the song

Wow they are the best dancing ever .

I love Claudia so much more happy for her 💓 💗 💕 💖 💛 ❤ 💓 💗 💕 💖 💛 ❤ 💓 💗 💕 💖 💛 ❤ 💓 💗 💕 💖 💛

FAB-U-LOUS. 10

That was splendid. She’s such a sexy dancer and a beauty. They were just jealous of you. Go high and don’t look back because you are better than your haters.

well done alexandra burke love you xxxx

I wish she won strictly

🤩 one of the best Jive that I’ve ever seen 👏👍

She has borned to be a start 👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍

I think she totally aced it. I think she was even better than Gorka

Easily the best dance of the season. Alexandra has been incredible all series and should have been crowned the winner.

This was SO POWERFUL. The energy was just flying our of them, hitting and affecting those lucky enough to be in the studio and those of us watching at home. Joe was my favourite and I'm glad he won, but this was one for the ages. Absolutely incredible.

Superb! Don't get any hotter than Gorka!!

yeah she should have won with this performance alone.

Fabulous dance, yes, Alexandra and Danny were more than robbed, it was against the law.

You, Alexandra, should be a Proud Alexandra! Hope you win.

Like Bruno, my favourite dance of the whole series.

Alexandra is so amazing. She did really well to get this far.

fabulous

she didn't win the glitterball, how sad and incredibly un-f**kingbelievable, this just reminds me of Danny and Oti

What an awesome couple, they should have won hands down. Sometimes, these judges just don't pick the right couple.

Gorka couldn't keep up with her she was sooo good!

Why is it always Alexandra that gets singled out for having dance experience? Alex had no ballroom or Latin knowledge before entering the competition, therefore all the criticism is really undeserved. She got constant praise and great comments from the judges week after week because she is an incredible dancer. Some people on here are saying that Joe won because he was a dancing novice who went from zero to hero; what a load of absolute nonsense. Joe had lots of previous dance knowledge and west end experience that he tried to keep hidden away, therefore he is the fake one and not Alexandra as someone wrongly commented here. You are also right, Alex could dance in broken heels and still be the best dancer in this year's Strictly. She has been treated abysmally from the press, social media and the public as they spread their nasty untruths, yet she still came out week after week and danced like a professional to prove that all the haters can go to hell as they will never break her. Alexandra Burke is the true winner of this year's Strictly, she was by far the best dancer but sadly not as popular with the public as Joe was. Joe could have danced the hokey cokey and still won. Strictly is farcical as the best dancer rarely ever wins. This bemused me as it is a dancing competition. It's so sad to see the rightful winner ending up as runner up but I just hope Alex knows that all her fans love her, respect her and she will always be a winner in our eyes.

1:06 😏

Wow tanzen auch noch so toll einfach klasse. ❤

I love this jive

This jive 😍😍😍😍

Who’s jive is better? This one or Jay and Aliona

God knows how Alexandra Burke didn't win Strictly...for me she was clearly the stand-out dancer. She looked gutted at the end when Joe McFadden was announced as the winner.

I loved this but I loved their Argentine Tango better - the best AT I have seen on Strictly.

Alexandra looks like Tina Turner AND as THE same dance moves🔥❤💋💕🌟😍🎶🎶🎶

Gives me gooseberry... fantastic dancer x

Without a doubt Alexandra Burke should of been the winner. Shocked that she wasn’t .....

the true winner

I still can't believe Alexandra didn't win strictly. She's an absolute star and what a dancer; she looks like a total professional. Joe was no way a better dancer and it only goes to prove that these shows are all based on popularity and not talent. Unfortunately for Alexandra, Joe was more popular and she was robbed. Just like Natalie Gumede, Ricky Whittle and Danny Mac. The judges should pick the winner to keep it fair.
