Holly Valance

She may not have won the show, but Holly Valance simply sizzled with charisma when she took to the dance floor on series nine of Strictly Come Dancing. Alesha Dixon was a contestant on the series before she became a judge, so who's to say that Holly can't do the same?

I think Karen Hardy would be amazing as a judge. No one could ever say she doesnt know what she is talking about and yet she is honest in a kind way with a lovely personality.

Karen Hardy without a shadow of a doubt. A world champion and a first class choreographer. She has all the necessary qualifications!
03/01/2012 14:28
one of the dancers who know what they are talking about
03/01/2012 18:13
It's GOT TO BE ----KAREN HARDY

Anyone who is a proper dancing judge,will do nicely. I never counted her scores she always wanted to be the goodie goodie of the panel. She was always the first to give 10. Give us a judge who knows what they are talking about and are not afraid to be booded by the audiance.Someone like Craig, who although gets dirty looks from Len most times,for giving an honest opinions is good in my books. So....! Let us have a proper judge. There must be a few around who could fill the spot.

As a qualified dance teacher I am pleased to see Alesha go she is very beautiful but knows very little about dancing. Winning a competition does not make you a dance expert., Karen Hardy should have been given the job when Alesha got it. Lets hope the powers that be use a bit of common sense and give it to her this time. She is a former world champion and a brilliant dance teacher also a qualified judge. She would be brilliant. Vote for Karen

First and formost we need someone who knows and understands dancing and has probably been involved in it for some years . Just because you have been a competitor in Strictly certainly does NOT make you suitable .
Many of the people mentioned in this article are only here because they look glamorous or are in some other branch of showbusiness .
Karen Hardy would however be an excellent choice . Not only is she a professional dancer , but she has shown herself to have a very good TV manner and a bubbly personality throughout the last very successful series when she explained so clearly what viewers needed to look for in the various performances .

Karen Hardy should replace Ms Dixon, at least she is an experienced choreographer, for her its what you know not who! Alesha should stick to what she does best 'singing'...also lets get Anton to Host the next show, Im a bit tired of old Palladium jokes. Brucie deserves his knighthood, but its time for a change.

I think it should be karen hardy, my family and i agree she should not have left in the first place, it was nice to see her doing the spot on it takes two this season, another option should be camilla dallerup, both these ladies know there stuff.
03/01/2012 20:32
Karen Hardy would be great! I loved Arlene Phillips and she should never have gone,but I can't see her lowering her self to return unless they make her an offer she can't refuse!!!!
03/01/2012 15:06
Bring back Arlene Phillips. She is a dancer and choreographer so knows what she is talking about. If not then bring on a professional dancer or choreographer and not another amateur singer/dancer
03/01/2012 22:10
easy karen hardy should take over i loved karen when she was on the show and she knows what she is talking about or maybe ian waite would be good as again good personality and knows what he's talking about 
03/01/2012 20:02
Someone who actually knows about professional Dancing Maybe!!!!!
03/01/2012 14:46
Arlene Phillips is my first choice. Should she not be reinstated, then my other choice would be Ola. Either way, BOTH are professional dance teachers who know what they're talking about.
03/01/2012 15:54
Someone with a brain I would have thought
04/01/2012 01:46
Alesha's gone......."Good Job!"
Why replace Arleen, a highly experienced choreographer on a peek-time talent show, with someone who was so clearly out of her depth, even Captain Nemo wouldn't hire her? Just to take the teeny-bopper viewers away from watching The World According to Simon Cowell on the other channel of course. As a previous winner she was able to empathise with the contestants, but that doesnt make her a judge.
For three series her feckless oppinions and reckless scoring of performances was patronising to both celeb and professional dancers, embrassing to the other judges and so annoying to watch,I regularly balked on my sweet and sour! And to think that people crave her approval? Shame on you, Auntie!
Cheryl Cole on Strictly? Oh please give me a break!....
Good looking she may well be but as for her manner and tone of voice, lets be honest, it make's watching gloss paint dry seem like an adrenaline sport, daaarling! Somehow I doubt that she could complete against the likes of Karen Hardy et al as a judge either.
I just hope now that the Beeb decides to go for an experience voice as it doesn't need another "celebrity".
03/01/2012 20:29
I would like to submit an old tree stump I have in the garden as her replacement. Stick it on a chair, paint a face on it with a smile and nobody will know the difference.
04/01/2012 00:13
How about Nick Clegg, he is no use in government so he could do with a proper job
03/01/2012 21:30
I think they should let Arlene Phillips come back
03/01/2012 17:07
It should be arlene because she should not left in 1st place but i wouldn't
blame her if she said NO!. I did n't think Alesha dixon was comfortable in strictly she was too nice to the contestants. Maybe rachel stevens or karen hardy would be ideal.
