Strictly Come Dancing fans all issue same complaint as BRIT award
Award winning singer Raye was one of the musical acts on the Strictly Come Dancing semi final results show.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Raye took to the Strictly Come Dancing stage for the semi-final results show to perform her track Genesis pt. iii. However, the jazzy number had some viewers making comparisons to another chanteuse - Amy Winehouse.

Many people took to X to air their opinion. One commented: "Just popped Amy Winehouse’s name into Temu search bar and the name Raye popped up! #strictly."

Another was equally unimpressed, writing: "As basically Amy Winehouse 2.0. is she over Raye-ted, or am I just old and grumpy?"

A third opined: "That Raye's just a s*** Amy Winehouse #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing." Others seemed to agree with the opinion writing:"Poundland Amy Winehouse #Strictly."

Another said: "Plan b Amy Winehouse #Strictly."

However, some viewers were more complimentary. One was impressed observing: "I haven't heard Raye before. Wow! I have no doubt the comparison has been made with Amy Winehouse. Raye is amazing. #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing." Another lamented: "Imagine Raye and Amy Winehouse on the same stage. What a chance we sadly missed. #Strictly"

Raye - whose real name is Rachel Keen - has had a phenomenal year.

In March the 27-year-old set the record for the most BRIT Award nominations in a single year before taking home a jaw-dropping six awards, including Artist of The Year and Album Of the Year.

She had previously smashed the nominations record jointly held by Blur, Adele and Harry Styles and was up for a staggering seven nominations on the night.

As Raye continued to win award after award, she even brought her grandmother on stage when she won the gong for album of the year. She cried, "You just don’t understand what this means to me."

Her performance came as hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman dragged out the results as the remaining couples anxiously waited to see if they had secured a place in next Saturday's (November 13) final.

Pete Wicks and his dance partner, Jowita Przystal, faced their first-ever dance-off against Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec.

Following their performances, judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke unanimously voted to save Tasha and Aljaz.

Although her vote was not needed, Head judge Shirley Ballas concurred with her fellow judges' decision.

Reflecting on his Strictly experience, Pete emotionally said: "It's been beautiful! It's been wild. I've been quite honest about the fact that I didn't necessarily want to do this [Strictly] in the first place, but everyone else wanted me to do it, and I am so, so glad that I did it!"
