Denise Van Outen & James Salsa to 'Rhythm Of The Night' - Strictly Come Dancing 2012 - BBC One

Bit to clunky for me not their best

Not their best, but Denise still shows a lot of potential, I really hope she's through to next week!

James admitted to " brain fade". Pity as this could have been another special dance for them. I think Darcey mentioned Denise's shimmy and I can see her point it was a bit of maracas shaking rather than a shimmy. Would back them against anybody else if in dance-off.

Not thir bast

I just think this dance is frantic and shows that Denise is quite rigid in her dancing. I think they both got it wrong actually, neither of them seemed to know what they were doing in parts. Overmarked!!

James had a blankout...

I honestly think Denise shouldn't even be in the show, she has musical theater and dancing background, it's really not fair.. plus, she's not great anyway, her head gets bigger every week.. sorry.

so did Kara, Alesha, Tom and Jill

She seems lovely, but I just can't warm to her even after all these weeks. She's just too up herself, and paired with James then wow is it ego overload. It's seriously pure favouritism this year. I'd love to see her get knocked out before the final but I know that wont happen :(

what part does james mess up? can someone pls tell me the time

Kara, Jill and Tom all went to stage school where dance is one of the core subjects. Alesha's secondary school is the home of a top stage school and she also went to a dance class school.

around 1:20

You can't expect her to be brilliant at every dance and everyone makes mistakes, even the pros, as seen here.. Denise is a lovely person, she was asked onto the show by people who knew her musical background.. give the girl a break

totally agree! the favouritism is supremely obvious! i mean denise got 8s despite the innumerable mistakes plus the routine was not salsa like at all! kimberly's salsa was fantastic in comparism. Best dance of the night for me was Nicky because it was brilliant and i think he was very unfairly marked by the judges.

I'm so sick of comments against Denise. She may have been in the West End but that does not mean she has had Ballroom training. The most she can use is her performance skills - like Kimberley, Dani and Nicky who are all performers too. She continues to work hard and strive to be her best and does not deserve all the criticism.

Poor James

It was round about 1:19 because denise didn't no what to do after James went blank so she just launched herself at him by doing a handstand

Who sings this ? :)

Who sang this song originally?????

Such a shame James forgot the routine, although Denise handled it like a true pro (no pun intended). A solid 8 from me.

6 look like they forgot the moves
