Deleted User	Well done Ray for winning Dancing on ice 2009 a very worthy winner. First Part Ray performs to Greatest Day by Take That and all I can say is that it's an absolutely fabulous performance. You would never think that the flying makes him sick (which it does) and he's had less rehearsal time than the others because of it. There's a running man, a back somersault, a gorgeous flying embrace, then a hand drag and the final flyaway-moment. Amazing! He has lovely posture on the wires and great lines... Sixes across the board and he deserves every one for that - It was almost like it was in slow motion. Ruthie says he's a triple threat, "you can sing, dance and skate!" Nicky says that it was a top-notch performance and his transitions on the ice were phenomenal. "It was a 6 performance Ray and I'm not surprised!" Ray is overjoyed when the scores come in and I think if he could jump as high as those wires take him, he would! Second Part THE PERFORMANCES: SKATERS FAVOURITE Ray Quinn has chosen Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now as his favourite performance and last time he pulled 6's across the board - It looked no different to me, so I guess there's a chance. There's a full drape, solo spin, arabesque... The list goes on and on... 6'S EVERYWHERE! 30 POINTS! Ray and Maria are overwhelmed and they both say how much they love each other... Robin Cousins is a ball of excitement, "Absolutely amazing! I like to see these again because you get a more confident performance. Donal took it to the next level, where as you add little nuances - like a shoulder shrug... There were so many moments... I disagree with Ruthie, you're not a triple threat, you're a quadruple threat. As far as I'm concerned you can add professional ice skater to your resume. " WOW! Talk about a compliment from the Olympic gold medalist. It was an amazing performance. I have a funny feeling we could have two boys in the final you know... Mercy could have ruined Jessica's chances. Now it's time for our Ray of Sunshine... Ray can't wait to have a go at the Bolero, but is worried that he's gone from learning a routine to choreographing one. He's also keen to try out the split swapover that Chris performed himself at the Olympics but is concerned that he may not pull it of on the night... . Ray and Maria interpreted that so well. There was just enough Torvill and Dean mixed with their partnering, passion and warmth. There was a devlappe, a fantastic interlocking stag roll and the splits swapover (which was perfect). Phil asked if he was surprised to dance Bolero. "Anything could have happened as nothing was certain, but the fact that I got to do that with a partner like Maria - Well it was an absolute privilege." Chris Dean agrees with Phil that Donal has come a long way, "But I got a lump in my throat when I performed my Bolero and I just got another one then (during Ray's performance)." Judge Nicky Slater is choked... He can barely speak he's so emotional. "I see you performing Jayne and Chris's choreography softly and gently like they did [before my eyes] - It blows me away." GO ON RAY!!! The Dancing On Ice Champion 2009 is... RAY QUINN! GET IN YOU BEAUTY! "I am absolutely speechless, I've been dreaming of this moment since the beginning and I'm so pleased we did it together." Maria can't stop hugging him and nods that it's a wonderful Mother's Day present. It's commiserations for Donal and Florentine... Then again, from Donal's face I think he had a feeling it would be Ray - Both he and Florie are smiling and applauding. In a rather rushed ending, Ray and Maria are presented with their trophy and the credits roll. I guess that's it till next year guys... What a great show
