Karim and Amy Cha Cha Cha to ‘If I Can't Have You’ | Week 1 - BBC Strictly 2019 

Totally agree

I'm pleased that Amy's got a nicer partner this year.

about time she got a good one

shreya tanna I think I have fallen in love with them both

Gold Rose Yes, it was filled with too much flashy stuff for me. The basics he performed were quite stiff. Still, great musicality and graceful movement.

What score did they get xx

isla Gardiner 31

Heck,yeah!

I think it’s because Karim’s young

Same here, for a second reading the comnents I thought Amy was the celeb partner! Karim definitely has some moves.

brooklyncherry I mean it’s pretty obvious Amy has the technique and years of practise but I agree that’s Karim is amazing!!

Hypno it’s only obvious cuz of her facial expressions when dancing but he didn’t look nervous and didn’t make any mistakes that I noticed but I get ya

Vi Storm yeah totally, I only knew bcuz I love amy she’s a great dancer but honestly could’ve been another professional lol, he was so confident, didn’t make any mistakes, straight legs and of course insane rhythm and timing

brooklyncherry it’s not just her expressions, her technique on locks for example is so much cleaner than his but as I say he is amazing considering it’s only his first week (I’m assuming you’re a dancer of some sort and understand what I’m on about)

Blonde 98 what were the scores

Babioo 05 it's at the end of the vid :)

1:55 At top left, each Judge & their score 😊 Karim & Amy wowed! 🤩

first thing i thought, aston feels! and he doesn't even have the boyband background so i was even more surprised 😂 i really hope he gets as far as aston deserved to go, i wanna see much more of him

kiera h He went to stage school and was in a West End show before CBBC so that’s probably where he got his moves from

My usernames aston merrygold heehee

Let's hope people get behind him, and don't get complacent like they did with Aston

Charlotte Cunliffe Oh yeah, with moves like that I instantly knew he's clearly not a novice, but since his career doesn't directly involve him dancing I wasn't sure what he'd be like lol. When this happened I was like oh dannnng okay lets see how this goes

Couldn't have said it better myself.

What is a ringer

@@khadijaa4081 a ringer is someone who is just outstanding from the beginning and never does a poor dance

Agreed

I’m a Dwts fan from California. Had it not been for Kelvin’s killer samba, Karim would have been my 1st choice for this year’s champion (not that I could vote of course lol). I think they’re going to give each other a run for their money. This should be a good season! 👏😎

yeah i noticed that in his dance but didnt know what it was called

@@anthonyi7834?

I can tell he’s ballet trained as well

So? Amy could have taught him that. I hate people's prejudice against contestants with the slightest scrap of dance experience. So if you were invited to go on Strictly, as in, the Strictly, you'd bleat into the phone, 'sorry, no, can't do, went to stage school'. It's so unfair that people like Karim put in millions of hours of practice, work their butts off, and then not win because they had a tiny bit of background with dancing. They could hardly help the dance experience. It may be precisely the reason they wanted to go on Strictly - because they'd danced before. Can you imagine if you were invited to go on Strictly, and was absolutely ecstatic and could hardly wait, thinking, I'm so glad I can go! I haven't danced in ages and it'll be fun to do it again. Then you arrive - sorry, can't do, you've danced before, not allowing you in. It's not as if It's cheating. Cheating is breaking a rule, wearing clothing that gives an inappropriate advantage, twisting circumstances or finding a loophole in a regulation. Those things really are unfair. And besides, it's not as if A. the contestants with dance experience remember every second of a class that happened fourteen years ago. Now, what WOULD be unfair in that respect was if a celebrity had done five months of ballroom dancing classes before entering Strictly. They have no right to be pounced on because of a few courses in ballet or stage dance seventeen years ago. Besides, in the end it all comes down to talent. There are some pretty crap dancers who studied for years in stage school. Karim was naturally gifted. Imagine how boring the show would be if it really was full of celebrities who didn't know their right foot from their left. A bunch of rubbish dancers kicked out in Week 3, and the stars would be few and far between.

@@WeneedmoreGodsinTshirts She just didn’t though, You can clearly tell he’s ballet trained and you can’t learn things like a la secondes in 1 week, they take months if not years of continuous ballet training

Is he 19 I looked it up and said he was 25? 😂

He’s 25

It's saffron that's 19 not karim

Callum-Lee McAuley just looked it up it says CBBC star Karim Zeroual born November 14 1999 is ages 19 x if that helped

@@jessicaparekh489 Google lies Google said an actress was 26 and she said on her Instagram photo she was 14 so don't believe everything u read

london sweet home Alabama are u actually his uncle

@@jessicaparekh489 Yes indeed Jessica

@@sweethomelondonwheretheski649 ur username tho 😂

Good luck to him! He was wonderful to watch! Love Toochi X

london sweet home Alabama wow

Thank you so much Vithur

ItsJust Mil yessss

What about Saffron and Cathrine? You can't pick your finalists just by watching the first week.

I struggle with names , I’m entitled to write whatever I want on any video on RU-vid. If your not happy with what I’ve put then get over it. Move on🙌🏼

@@milliewhyte7761 Why are you getting mad lmao. (I didn't even see you added Saffron either) I just put my opinion on RU-vid, I wasn't mad.

Samesies!!!

YESSSSSSS YESSSSSSS HE HAS:-[MOVES YOU GO SEXY BABY

who did she have last year?

@@tallytipple8056 Danny-John Jules

J P genuinely curious, what was wrong with him?

@@sleepingbeauty6515 Don't remember well enough to say, other than the tabloids said he'd bullied Amy backstage.

J P and when he lost he refused to show up to the its take two interview cuz he’s a diva
