Silent reader viewpoint on DID - Page 2

Most people dont have any issues with Shakti winning, and those who do are just crying sour grapes! She was the best dancer on DID2 when all factors were taken into consideration, and she proves that even after the show is over - she keeps learning new styles and keeps performing as a true performer...

I agree with most of your view except your point on Urvashi.

Here's a link to her mohiniattam performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZotZyYdTfM8 I'd love to hear your thoughts on it as you mentioned you have learnt is for six years.

I'm sorry akku di but that's not true 😆 Most people on this forum don't have issues with her winning, DID is rigged, we all know it...A dancer from TKT or GKG had to win and it had to be a girl, hence Shakti 😕 only if it had been Kruti, she was far more deserving, or Amar! Amar was the only one I was fine with winning if not D-sir 😕 Zee's politics zindabad 🤢

PS: I do believe if she hadn't been in TL's academy, she wouldn't even have been selected for auditions 😳

Hi shootingstar27

I saw her dance,she is a good clasical dancer and have training in bharathanatyam i guess. but sorry to say she is not a trained mohiniyatam dancer,the movements were very fast mohiniyattam is a dance with gentle movements and lot of drama(story telling thru expressions and hand movements) and most of the dance is performed in either aramandal or muzhumandalam .(dancing posture -the knees will ne bend towards either side), like bharathanatyam ,mohiniyattam is not performed just on such musics(if u have listened the music to which she dances he song is fast paced,it is generally used in bharathanatyam )

see this link

a dance by Gopika Varma a famous mohiniyattam dancer ,you will understand the difference.

i dont know anything about her ,i commented just on basis of wat i saw only, for me her audition performance was better than mega audition,coz in mega audition we cud clearly see the fault in landings at .54,1.43,in this video

which can be her bad luck that it was shown . after watching her mohiniyattam dance i really felt she should have attempted some classical dance she moves her hand elengantly.

I also used to think that Kruti should have been the finalist until I saw Kruti again in the DID1 versus DID2 show, and Kruti wasnt as superb as she was thought to be on DID2... I agree that Amar was very good and improved quite a lot during DID2, and I really wanted to see him as a finalist... I looked through all the dances of DID2 a few weeks back, and watching them again made me realize a few more things.. All the top contestants had many pros and cons in their acts, some having more cons over pros and vice versa.. Shakti was indeed very good in all her acts, above average for sure even in styles outside her forte... Her selection has nothing to do with her being from TLCDC, and I am very sure about that! There are many others from TLCDC and other dance schools, who didnt pass the DID auditions... Punit was also from TLCDC, and so was Mayuresh in DID1... Not to argue with ya, okay? I always loved Shakti's performances, and I loved Kruti's, Amrita's, Binny's, Vandu's and Tashu's too, and some of Bhavana's too... 😃

Thanks to all who responded to this post,

I am sorry Tannistha if i had hurt you ,wat i said that was just my opinion.
ya but i do agree she was better than tina,shruthy and binny, (shruthi and binny was good looking,tina was gitas assistant that can be reason for not choosing amrita)but in comparison to other standby i mentioned Jack and melvin for me she was weak,i never said she is weaker than any other contestant,i mentioned her bcoz i felt she was good,ther were other standbys about whom i didnt even mention. hope its clear
For me Amrita's plus points were-PASSION,training in classical dance,energy,attitude
minus was i didnt like her loud expressions in some acts,eg lavani=it needs loud expressions but it was too loud for me,problems in lifts-her performance in super 6 along with dharmesh in blue dress

I am trained in Mohiniyattam(started 6 yrs back),Kerala Natanam and bharathanatyam(started 2 yrs bck), i dont knw anything about manipuri that can be the reason i cudnt connect with amritha

Only one piyali performed classical dance(a bit of kathak with drama) and got selected-for me she was not even average,they eliminated sanchita a girl who performed clasical dance well.
Lipsa other student is trained in classical,and mohena in kathak,dont remember any others

I really dont knw y 80%of people preferred contemporary,even classical dancers attempetd hip hop or contemporary

Well don't get me wrong but it's fairly easy for dancers trained in contemporary to do other styles. 😕 Take Amar and Shakti for example, like u said they were versatile...but it's not the same for hip-hop dancers like Saajan, Prince, D-sir...not their fault they wanted to get trained in hip-hop. Now of course there are exceptions but for one thing, I would rather see D-sir do his own style then do some contemporary or classical just to show others he can. Who cares about others. he tried an other style, and got eliminated 😆 want me to remind you what big ruckus it created everywhere?

Yup I know about Punit and Mayuresh. And this time, Crockroaxz, Mohena, Neerav were somehow related to Terence too 😆 one is in top 18, other is standby 😕

Oh and I forgot Parvez, Jack and Vandana!! They were so good too. Every dancer automatically becomes better if he/she is in TKT...most of my faves from season 2 were from TKT. But only my non-fav had to win 😒😆
