The Strictly bunch

Was surprised but very pleased that Lewis won! I was sure the Girls Aloud girl would get it. I know he's had all those years of gymnastics but he had to work really hard to learn how to really perform a dance.

re the carol services - I agree that nothing beats the King James. The poetry of it sticks in the mind which is surely the whole point of it.

Poetry in motion watching Louis, eh Jess! So glad he won! Stayed up 'til 2 a.m. watching the recording (No2 son and wife not fans so had to wait 'til they were safely tucked up in bed!) 'Great Stuff'

No poetry is there in new version

I've just done a reading at a Carol Service. Sadly also not King Jame's. I do so agree that the modern translation I read was flat. I had quite a job to make it sound Wondrous. Lovely carols though.

It was all choral and carols, no readings at this one!

Oh wonderful . Tell me, did they use the King James version for the readings? I went to a carol service last week and i thought the modern translation was so flat.

A carol concert at Ely Cathedral. Can't imagine anything more wondrous.

Me too JessM, was only hoping I wouldn't hear the result until time to watch the replay.
I found it hard to decide who would win as they were all so good!
We returned from a very uplifting Carol concert in Ely Cathedral last night and I had to watch the TV do Strictly before I could go to bed!

Phew! Just watched the recording. News blackout all day. Lewis was my pick from the start because of his strength, grace, co-ordination and physical intelligence. And, well, wow! The samba and the show dance raised my pulse. Phew! Much fanning of face etc. I am - and that does not happen often I can tell you - smitten. He seems to be a very sweet and modest young man which is part of the appeal.

Why feetle did someone tie you to a chair and force you to watch it?

Harmless entertainment for some of us feetle

Will it all go away for a bit now? Please?

Nanado I thought that about his voice! I guess it was because it was live.

I always wanted Louis to win and I'm glad he has, but thought both Denise and Kimberley would have made worthy winners I just felt that they both had an unfair advantage.

He's stopped smoking and started going to the gym apparently, so has 'bulked up'... that's his story anyway!

All three couples at the end could have won, a very high standard. But I'm pleased that it was Louis and liked his remark 'now at least I can say I won something in 2012'.

But what about Robbie Williams? Where's all that weight come from? He was almost bursting out of that suit and has he lost his voice, he sounded awful

I think Denise is an amazing dancer but I'm glad Louis won as he was a true amateur.

After the lovely Lisa left last week, my new favourite was Louis, so I`m very pleased at the result. Hubby wasn`t, he`s been singing Denise`s praise from day one, as soon as the result was announced, he stormed off upstairs to his faithful PS3!

Great final - wonderful dancing and a well-deserved result!!

Actually, me too Ana, they were just too 'showbizzy' !

I don't care!

Ana

Really, really really horrible.

I'm just happy that neither Denise nor Kimberley won!
(How terrible does that make me? )

I'm very happy that the gorgeous Louis won....Yaayy!

They were all brilliant but I am going for kIMBERLEY.
