Can't stop watching Sophie and Brendan. They should've won every dance contest they entered! Can't watch other couples after you have been lightning struck by these two. They are so elegant, graceful, charismatic, sexy, awesome dress, just so damn pleasing to watch!!!

I love that performance by branon and sophie 😘 xx

Love, love, love Sophie. She almost shot herself in the foot by doing such an amazing Charleston so early on - it meant that all the other dances (many with technique far harder to master than Charleston's) were going look comparatively less impressive. I actually thought this was a really nice samba. Good basics and she does feel the rhythm. I think she has such a laid-back personality, that she'd never have been able to go full out latin-party feel - but I just love her style. Classy gal.

Shes really good!🎉

To everyone saying that this is not samba, lemme just tell you, it is. The basic moves in Ballroom Samba are here ike the batucada, promenade runs, samba rolls, reverse samba rolls, there is also bounce and hip actions here, so, yeah, this is a Samba, people.

Oh How I love this performance

Wonderful Dress and great Dance Sophie💖

I really love this routine, watching it over and over again

love her

I looooove Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s graciousness and elegance of flow and dance - but also her playfulness and her humour...

Wouldn't it be awesome to watch her dance hero own song?

That woman is so gutsy!

Love this song All Night Long. Looks like they had too much fun dancing here. Cool anyway. :)

She is pure class and makes everything look so effortless. Sophie and Natalie are the best in this show. Susanna a close 2nd.

amazing, she deserves to win!

Kudos to the singer.

Sophie is so beautiful! This was great! :)

Linda,maravilhosa!!! te amoooooooooo

Pucha que es completa canta es hermosa y baila que diosa

What a legs😊

maybe she´s not the best dancer but she has charisma, and like we say in our country, she got angel, something that makes you want to see her... so... the score she had is for that too! not just for the dance.... you can be the best dancer but if you dont transmit is like you are nothing.

Love sophiee 2016 viewww

cool .......

O love her pair of legs

Yes, that was his competitive specialty -- and how could you have missed the bota-fogos, the Samba rolls, and the basic traveling patterns of the Samba? That routine had content and to spare!

Take back what I said earlier. I think she danced really well. I think camera work could be better, so we could see her feet more!! They're quickly becoming my favorites along with Susanna and Kevin.

I hate when people say "OVERMARKED! THIS WAS OVERMARKED!". I trust the judgement of four professionals more than I do KZread commenters.

There was plenty of samba moves in there. It lacked a bit of energy, and the samba bounce action was missing, but it wasn't a bad routine.

sophie "murder the dance floor" now

I don't think this was overmarked at all! Being a tall girl makes the samba incredibly difficult, and she doesn't quite have the body for it, which made her look quite awkward. That's why people at home didn't like it. But looking at it technically, it was quite hard to fault.

why is she doing this? she was an underrated artist for me...

💃🤩👍

I understand that Sophie is still a beginner (and I wouldn't expect a professional show), but even if you start pointing technicalities, there's still going to be something missing there, and this thing is the samba itself. Even the song didn't have a single samba beat. Samba de gafieira has a different mood.

I don't understand what you're saying. My comment had nothing to do with "technicalities." It had to do with what Ballroom defines as the distinctive elements of Samba, which is admittedly NOT the same thing as true Brazilian Samba and never has been. For Brazilian purists, perhaps this was no Samba, but by Ballroom standards, it most definitely was!

Liked it, but I think she's a bit too calm and collected if you know what I mean? It suited the charleston and made it more sophisticated, but I think with the latin dances, she needs to give it more of a party vibe, and smile a bit more. I like her though :)

This is ballroom samba which varies quite a bit from traditional samba.

Don't be jealous

I'm a big SEB fan from Brazil, but I've got to say that I didn't see any samba there. Wasn't Brendan Cole supposed to be specialised in Latin dances?

I think she could do it better. But Brendan put plenty of recognizable Samba steps in there. But thought maybe she struggled to keep up a bit. It's my least favorite latin dance, so glad its out the way. She did well for her 1st latin dance.

when the show was good

She was too worried about how she looked to care about the dancing !

I am Brazilian and though I love Sophie I can affirm that this is not Samba AT ALL.

Are you kidding me? There was plenty of content!

no tricia

Samba? Where's the "samba"?

It was gorgeous, but not of this is samba.

this is not samba

I guess this needs repeating: This is a ballroom samba which varies quite a bit from traditional samba. The steps are different, it's not samba like it's danced in Brazil. It's the samba that's choreographed to be danced in a ballroom.

mayelaar It will never change. Brazilians will always swarm any videos of ballroom samba and try to discredit it. The name ISN'T going to change, people.

She's beautiful, but I don't think the Samba is her dance. Was a good routine, but she didn't look as comfortable with it as her Charleston! Now that was a dance!

Cherie2712 probably because it was her first time ever doing the sam be Martin 1820 ....

Sophie did well but that's hardly a Samba song, right? I think the dancers did what they could with such an uninspired track.

You're not really the most innocentflamingo then, are you? Lol. Trolling comment.

not the best choose of the song.

This wasn't salsa!! I realy like him and He's trying realy hard but, dancing is not his thing, anyway just to see him taking his shirt of was more spicy than any salsa.

frank loni Wheeler- it was a salsa! I agree, not Andys thing dancing, would rather play cricket and rescue me from my surf board 🤧🥰💞 inseparable l!escala! However this was Lionel Martin Richie singing! And 2 years later ....and Sophie Blind! 🐀

Im from Brasil and this is not samba.

I like her but she just looks bored here and there's no chemistry between her and Brendan.

overscored....it wasn't that great!

Poor Brandon. This woman looked like a dancing tree. Too bad.

This just looked so awkward. No energy

Jealous of wit? This was awful and i just don't like her personality. No jealously tbh. Just giving my opinion...freedom of speech...it's allowed these days
