Major changes in the 'VOTING' system of 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 9'!

The judgement will purely be based on the performance and not the popularity of the contestant.


The new instalment of popular dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa Season 9' is all set to hit the television tube on July 30. While the opening episode has already been shot in a grand way, we are here to reveal some major changes introduced in the voting format this season. 

There will be no audience voting, this time! Yes, instead the evictions will be based on two specific criteria. One will be the Judges (Jacqueline Fernandes, Karan Johar and Ganesh Hedge) scores and the other parameter will be the studio audience poll. The audience present on the set will decide who will stay back and who will leave the show, based on their performances.

The total sum of the Judges score and the live audience' poll will decide the fate of the contestant's journey on the show.

So this means there will be no voting system open for the viewers watching the performances on television. Hence, the judgement will purely be based on performance and not the popularity of the participant. 

Whether this change proves to be an advantage or a disadvantage for the contestants, is surely going to be a wait and watch!

Stay tuned for further developments from the show.

@BeyondHorizon, If you are speaking about unfairness, what will u say about the perfect 30 that lauren got for TKT act which was average at best?And what will u say about the high score she recieved for her pathetic bharatnatyam act ? I have been trained in it for more than 2 years n i knw how pathetic that performance was!! No one spoke about the unfairness n partiality of judges that time!! But, all are ready to jump when it comes to DD, just coz she's popular!! DoublebStandards much!!

And regarding DD, none of us said she is flawless, but that season she improved the most and had the max votes and she won bcoz of votes and hardwork..If D was favoured ,why didn't they favour Pratusha,radhika and simar girl? Even they are colors bahu n were the part of top trp show!!
The bottom line is that u guys hate one particular celebrity n are ready to pounce on them whenever u get a chance. Disgusting!!

@BeyondHorizon And what logic will you give for certain contestants who let their choreos do all the dancing and just support their female choreo partners in lifts, and yet walk away with perfect scores (mind you no running show with Colors) ..Also please tell me which Colors show was Faisal and Gurmeet a part of?I would love to know ..Also if Colors show was the winning criteria why didnt Pratyusha Bannerjee ,Sidharth Shukla,Radhika Madan,Deepika Samson,Jayati Bhatia or Meghna Malik win ?They were all part of TRP Topper shows on Colors :P some were also faces of the channel like Pratyusha ! .And if trained dancers still have flaws in their performance despite being professionally trained in it and yet get full scores for it why would it be any different for the non trained ones?

And for someone who spoke about pathetic dancers .thats a pretty hypocritical statement to make considering you have supported one such "weak","pathetic" dancer yourself recently ..Imagine internationally acclaimed dancers last season (like Scarlett) getting lesser scores and bowing out before such people!And you out of all the people are complaining about voting system and Colors..hahahahhah

There is no doubt faisal is much better dancer than sanaya .But to say he got more votes than her was too much .

LOL even in this I hope a non dancer who show variety in dance performance every week will win not like last year who copied previous year dance performance even costume also copied ... if this season will get high TRP which floped last year then either Arjun or Shakti or even Helly can win depend upon their performance or improvement

Thank god! Last year, I was so worried that Shanaya would would because of her popularity but happy to see true talent winning! Sanaya had improved tremendously but at the end of the day Faisal was the best. Sanaya fans may beg to differ. This concept will ensure than Ashish-Shakti and Lauren-Drashti cases don't happen again. Shakti and Lauren deserved to WIN! But it's okay. Hope Shantanu wins this time.

But i forgot one important factor in my last comment. This is rangeela we are talking about. They can do anything and everything possible to make their fav pathetic dancer look outstanding. Imagine how ironic it would if a world champ gets less score than someone who is a weak dancer LOL. Faisal winning last year was just a hogwash IMO only to show that they reward true talent. This year it will be back to season 5/6/7 formula :P

Do u really want me to believe this crap? LOL. Two things always count - audience vote and judge's score. If u take JDJ6, for argument's sake we can say Drashti Dhami was more popular than Lauren Gottelib but the judges always gave Drashti a perfect 30 even when there were flaws in her performance and why was that? Just because she was the lead in Colors hit show. After that in the next season u had Ashish Sharma who was a mediocre dancer with a decent fan base which was no way as big as Shakti Mohan's fan base who is one of the best dancers in the country today but yet Ashish won and why was that? Again because Ashish was the lead in RR. When judges are compelled to dance to the channel's tunes whats the point in coming up with different formats?
