Overhype of salman and ISha! [DT note Pg. 16] - Page 20

I am Isha-Salman fan, but after reading her profile on wiki, I should also say she should not be in this show. She is a professional dancer. Show is for Dancing with Stars, not Dancing with Dancers. She should actually come as choreographer.

On top of this JDJ paired her with Salman, who himself a strong dancer and choreographer.

I am still her fan, but if anybody non-hyped, dark horse come close to her 70%, I will become his/her fan.

Leaving everything aside, we are enjoying her performance every week. Salman's creativiry is performed brilliantly by her.

I don't think she can be a choreographer. Being a trained dancer in some art forms doesn't make someone with knowledge of all sorts of dance forms. The choreographers on this show have knowledge of many different art forms, which Isha doesn't. So it isn't like she knows in and outs of all the dance forms to score perfect. She also needs to work hard learning new dance forms. Yes as many pointed out, she might have the stamina of a dancer and also her flexibility is a cherry on the cake. But she is also learning different dance forms and steps just like everybody else. So I don't see it being unfair. Another aspect is of voting, GC and even Gia have huge fan following, so this puts them ahead of everyone else, now how is that fair. TV actors have at least some sort of exposure and experience with dancing unlike contestants like Sanath, Susheel, Talash etc, so how is it fair to them being completely non dancers. So in such competition there will be spectrum where some on one end while other on the opposite. For example in Indian Idol, there are contestants who have trained from childhood, while there are those who might have started in their teens or even later, which makes them not being on the same level. So I guess everything is fair as long as they are on the same stage and show and chosen by the same people.

So, you think choreographer on this show has knowledge of many different forms? Even Remo and Terrence can not claim this. I can not go back and forthe on this, Although I am her fan but what my heart says is she should be contesting here. channel does what sells for them, we even compromise with those but I personally go by what I think is right.

Ofcourse, we just have to agree to disagree. But I am not sure why you would think these choreographers don't have knowledge of different dance forms. How are they choreographing or judging different dance forms from Salsa to rumba to Samba to others. I mean I don't have much information on what goes behind the scene, but from the way they talk and choreograph, to me it seems like they know what they are doing. May be they aren't the masters in all the dance forms, but they definitely seem to know many dance forms. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok after reading some posts on last couple of pages.. I am coming to terms with this "professional dancer" aspect.. yes maybe that gives Isha an edge over others. But I seriously don't know where she stands votes wise 😕 Let's assume it's Isha and someone else with obvious voting power (not taking any name here so I should be good😆) in the finale and both perform really well. Who will lift the trophy? Can we surely say that it will be Isha? No.. we can't even say for sure that she will be guaranteed to reach finals in spite of having such exceptional abilities. So it gets balanced out for me in the end 😊

@tannipartner: Thanks for agreeing with me on the arduous process of getting back into form. It sucks, doesn't it? Anyway. I guess my point is, that Isha does absolutely deserve all the hype because she is technically flawless, and the stuff she presents on stage is above and beyond what many have seen on such a platform. However, my one issue remains that she completely skews the competition and makes judging very difficult, even for judges who seem to pull scores out of nowhere. Point is, while Jayati might be better than say Darsheel one week, and worse the next, Isha will always be the best. If she doesn't win, the whole competition will look rigged, but then she might not get the maximum votes, so in the end the PH are discrediting their own product when it becomes clear that people are only voting for their favourites. Where is the competition when it is so unquestionably obvious she is the best dancer?

@NoComments: I have an issue with the PH for choosing a contestant like this, and I think it comes from their complete ignorance of real dance and real dancers in India (if you are interested you can read my complete angry rant on page 8 😆). I have a feeling they thought Isha was a small time actress, who happened to be a trained dancer, and did not fathom the depth and breadth of her existing work. The thing with Isha, is that I think she is the only contestant for whom things do not even out more or less, where the rest of the contestants do with their advantages and disadvantages. Because she is such a better dancer, she still comes out a head and shoulder above the rest, which is why I remain confused, on an ethical front, as to her role in the competition. Of course it is too late to do anything about this now...what is done is done so we might as well sit back and enjoy the quality dancing! 😃
