Punchy rendition of “I Got Rhythm” by the great Bobby Darin. Never been sung better. And oh yeah, the dancing was good too
iT WAS GOOD ! IT LOOKED LIKE SHE TOOK A TUMBLE ON THE OPENING SECTION AFTER THE SPINS !
hehe yep definitely a little stumble at the beginning, but a good recovery and overall a GREAT performance!
I came here to poke fun, but this routine is all kinds of fantastic! It’s miles better than anything broadway that Tyce, on the US series, has ever done. Hopefully Nigel will bring him over to US series, too.
i love alistair
Great Chemistry!! Love them both – very good dancers.
hes so camp
I think that they look great! There is chemistry and technique galore. Great show of personality and you can see that they enjoyed doing their performance. Shame on the poor sports that only see the one tiny pause at the beginning that they call “big time misstep”. It was a pleasure to watch. Can’t wait to see more.
great! I like it !
I am so glad Mandy and Alastair got to stay for another week! A pity the live show tickets are no longer available!!!!! Wouldn’t be able to catch them live in action!!
it is so awesome that the BBC posts the routines on here, i wish they would do that for the US series!
Love this routine… it wasnt a stumble… she was supposed to do that… lifts were great… Mandy’s technique is amazinggg and alistair is so strong!
I wanna know how these bitches flit around in heels like that. Damn.
I actuaaaaaaaaalllllyyyyyyyy <3 alastairrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
if a female wins i want it to be mandy or lizzieeeee!!!!!!!!! (charlie annoys me slightly but i do love her hair:) )
rofl hes a balle dancer what do you expect
(love your username btw 
Mandy is a natural at Broadway. Loved this routine and her broadway routine with Tommy.
What an amazing and very smooth opening of the series it was. They’re both outstanding performing this style. Great chemistry and absolutely loved the faces they pulled throughout the routine, especially near the end. Made me smile
hahaha that made me laugh
at 1:13 is he en pointe? It kinda looks like it but its hard to tell with the smoke…
i loved these two!! so much! (L)
boring ….
This is very Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, really cute! And yeah, broadway seems to be Mandy’s element. This one & the one she does with Tommy show her at her best.
not boring
not boring
love to see her tap dance
