Team Arlene and Team Bruno are decided - let battle begin!
The DanceX final 16 have sung and danced their way through gruelling
auditions against thousands of others to get to the live shows. Tonight on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One, hosted by Ben Shephard, they performed solo for one last time, in the hope that Arlene or Bruno
would give them the chance to join their group.
Ìý
The groups are:
Ìý
Team Bruno
Ìý
Phoenix
Bruno said: "The boys have to be the rock of my group, the strength of
the group. Range, versatility and power. The first rock that is going
to be the mountain is going to be Phoenix."
Ìý
Marcquelle
Bruno said: "It's very important to capture the moment and somebody
tonight really captured the moment like I've never seen before and that
person is Marcquelle."
Ìý
Daniele
Bruno said: "In the overall picture I need to cover a range and the
entertainer tonight was Daniele."
Ìý
Rana
Bruno said: "To me it's obvious. Every group has to have a diva. Rana!"
Ìý
Marie
Bruno said: "Seeing what I have, I need an all round, somebody who will
follow me and I think Marie will do so."
Ìý
Becky
Bruno said: "From what I've seen tonight there is someone I definitely
want. I think she's going to be amazing with my team and she knows what
she's doing. Becky."
Ìý
Claire
Bruno said: "I know it means a lot to you but I really need an instrument
in my group and Claire you've got an instrument."
Ìý
Of his group, Bruno says: "It happened for me tonight and I got what I
wanted. Commiserations Arlene."
Ìý
Team Arlene
Ìý
Emanuel
Arlene said: "There's one boy here I've believed in consistently up until
tonight because he can sing, he can dance and he looks great and that's
what I need in my group. My first choice is Emanuel."
Ìý
Daniel
Arlene said: "Every group needs fans of all ages. I need the teenagers
to fall in love with my group and my teenage daughter has told me the
person to do it here tonight is Daniel."
Ìý
Kalvin
Arlene said: "My group will sing, and that voice is Kalvin."
Ìý
Ashley
Arlene said: "This will strike you to your heart Bruno. I am having the
darling of the night – Ashley."
Ìý
Chelsey
Arlene said: "I am going for song and dance. I am taking Chelsey."
Ìý
Ife
Arlene said: "This is the hardest choice in the world but it's Ife."
Ìý
Camilla
Arlene said: "Ye of little faith. I'm telling you that girl there will
be dancing like the girl standing next to her."
Ìý
Of her group, Arlene says: "I lost the draw every time and I did want
Rana but I love my group – they're sultry, they're sexy. Good luck Bruno – you'll have a hard time beating me."
Ìý
Sadly, two contestants remained unpicked in the final dance-off. Going
home tonight were Bobby and Jamie.
Ìý
Arlene said: "These boys are so fabulous. Both of them can really dance
but they don't have enough of a voice."
Ìý
Jamie said: "It's been absolutely brilliant. It's a shame I haven't gone
through but I'm going to keep dancing."
Ìý
Bobby said: "I've had such a good time and want everyone to do so well."
Ìý
After a spectacular opening number, the girls performed their solo song
and dance numbers and a random draw decided that Bruno would get first
pick for their group.
Ìý
The hot-trotting twosome then took it in turns to
choose their favourite dancing divas, leaving the last two unpicked.
Ìý
After the eight boys had gone through the same process, the remaining
four contestants had one last chance to impress Bruno and Arlene with a
four-way dance-off, before two were selected to complete the two groups
of seven, and two were left to go home.
Ìý
Next week, the groups go head to head for the first time in the battle to
create the ultimate all-singing all-dancing group, and it will be down to
the viewers to decide which team they think is the best.
Ìý
After watching them dance in their groups for the first time the public
will vote for either Arlene or Bruno's team.
Ìý
Whoever gets the least
votes will have to nominate a member of their team to go home, leaving
dreams of dancing into the final group behind them.
