I have started watching this show for Gurmeet. I have never watched a single episode of JDJ earlier. I would first talk about the show. I am still not glued to show. I don't get JDJ concept and proceedings. May be reason is, I am die hard DID fan where dance is on another level. It wasn't expected that JDJ will showcase outstanding dancing at first place as stars or celebs are not supposed to be some delicious dancers.
But still, JDJ is just a burden to watch. No offence to JDJ fans.
I don't get panel of judges. I like Madhuri's politeness and Remo's strictness but as dancing judges, they are just barbie dolls to me HERE.
Comedy is "tadka" in all kind of show whether it is singing, dancing, talent based or so on. But here comedy overtook the soul of dance. Punches in between performances are to lift up the moods but for me, they are nothing more than PJs most of the times. Again a burden!!
"DANCE"
I still haven't talked of it as This is the last thing I can recall about JDJ. All are dancing but dancing seems second priority here. I can't name a single performance in whole season where I have seen some pure hardcore dancing.
I adored some performances but that don't sum up expectations.
Now about changing opinions about contestants.
I won't state Gurmeet in further discussion as he is still my bet here. I don't see my differing opinion about him. I am counting on his win. It is purely my POV or liking. I hope that doesn't be mixed with "blind fanatic thing"
I have found one superb dancer in JDJ and that is Shibani. That girl is someone I really wanted to win. Although I hated Punit earlier due to some other reasons but still Shibani and Punit surpass my built mindset and impress me a lot. I never felt that these two are sinking and again rising. They were experimental with new styles. They brought some "dancing" in their performances.
This girl is only one who entered into category "my favorites".
wild cards, sorry but I would already clear that I hate the concept of wild card. They brought 2 outstanding dancers in WC. RD and Rashmi!!! My first question was "why they haven't saved them for next season". Making them enter in mid-competition is an disadvantage plus some of us don't want WCs to win. I am one of them. No offense.
Talent is not in question but journey is!! For me, at least!!
Great contenders like Shibani have been eliminated coz they lacked in votes. But was scenario the same before WC???? Most of us blamed Gurmeet's stardom and Bharti's comedy for this. But these factors aren't new to JDJ. Gurmeet is grabbing votes from episode one. I don't get cribbing about it. Bharti's comedy is being supported by many fans of JDJ as she is only tadka in JDJ. If that thinking is to be generalized then masses must have forget about concept of show and grasped only "entertaining factor". I won't blame them.
Altogether, keeping in view Voting power and dancing talent, for me, top three were, Shibani, ISha and Gurmeet. Drasheel wasn't in competition from starting.
WC entries changed the scenario. Voting power is still not altered with but it is!!! Bringing popular faces who can dance were a hard slap on the ones who made their mark purely on basis of dance. They are now " nobody to somebody" who are just caressing senses as they made it so far. But that somebody deserved to be a winner.
Sorry all for so long reply and for deviating from topic a bit. I just wanna say it all.😳
