Regarding Siddhesh! - Page 5

I am putting my points, from the view of a mere dance spectator for the show.

One, it was very obvious that Zee was preparing for the scripted drama, because if anyone had noticed, when Prince finished performing and the judges were commenting on his performance, the camera kept putting Siddesh's face in focus, zooming on him, and he looked very tensed - which meant that he knew he had to say all these things whether he likes it or not - because that's all part of the contract the reality show contestants sign up with the channel. I have seen this drama in so many shows now, that I dont even take it with any face value anymore!! If you go and check all the reality show forums on IF, you can see that this kind of topic have been in all of them, where one's fans go against the other one's - the channels do it for TRPs.

Two, Terence did say that Prince does P&B and Siddesh did Locking - no offense to anyone, but that's what I heard with my ears - even after watching the repeat of the same show. Both Remo and Mithun didnt let Siddesh explain - they kept shutting him up, and he was tired of the whole thing, which was very clear from his face, and so he said he doesnt want to waste anymore time, and would like the show to continue - this is what I understood from the whole skit. Remo as usual exaggerated and over praised his team member - this has been going on for weeks, that I see zero value in his comments. The honest judge is Terence and he shows no partiality in making his comments - he is a very fair person and gives his honest feedback to everyone as a real dance master - he isnt so much in film choreography because he isnt intereted in it, not because he cannot do it. Plus film choreography is way different than the stage one - ask any dance masters of any dance form.

Three, Prince isnt the king of L or P or B, he is not even the Prince in them. To me, the King for all that is Michael Jackson, no offense to anyone, and in India, it's Prabhu Deva - Prince is not even any closer to them. Then there is this 10-11 years old boy Ayush, who had won the Ek Se Badkar Ek Chota Packet show, and he simply excelled in all of them - plus he is very versatile - so saying Prince is only 16 isnt an excuse as Ayush is only 10-11 years old - IMHO. And Prince isnt graceful and he is quite stiff, and he keeps repeating the same P&B steps week after week. There's a difference from being stiff for "robot" steps to being stiff for non-robot movements - it will look too stiff and like a stick movement then. Prince mocked at Jai and Siddesh in the wild card round week, and it didnt create any issues on this forum.

Remo has always been very protective and over praising of his students, and he does that the least for Mangesh - why, I never understood. He has been a copy cat lately - the week after Terence's team (Jai and Vrushali) did the "Maa Da Laadla" puppet dance, Remo came up with the "Arre Jaare Natkhat" dance with Salman and Kushboo - the basic concept was similar though the costumes were different. Then Mayuresh did the ring dance and got all the salutes, Remo came up with the rope dance for Salman the following week!! Terence's team have been doing a lot of salsa/flamingo steps with lifts and turns, and Remo started doing that with his team!! Honestly, Mangesh is the best dancer in his team. Mangesh might be the least good looking among the six, but he is the most versatile and flexible.

Siddesh had the grace and stage presence in his dance, and I enjoyed it more than all of Prince's dances so far. In my eyes, he rocked. It was a choreographed dance, and why is Siddesh being blamed here - I dont get it!! It's just my POV, and I have nothing against either of them, as this is only a competition and whoever gets the most votes will win at the end, and life will move on. None of them are related to me, and it doesnt make any difference to me whoever wins at the end - it's good for them and their family.

This show is all about dance and dance alone - so all kinds of dance forms and variations are required, and not just LPB alone. If not, they would have called it "Pop India Break" or "Lock India Pop" instead.
