Hmm.. I think it might be better if they start handing out scores in decimals .. I mean ..like 8.5 , 9.5 ...
Since sushant has peaked so early by getting 30 ever since his second performance .. he is going to find it hard to keep it up .. I mean, as Priyalicious said , since you can't better the score of 30 , you have to keep up the score of 30 .. its hard to do that every week .. if he gets anything less now it is going to be seen as "dip" in his performance ..

I know that, everyone, even Akhil was working hard in the show. Others aren't just sitting there😆

Yes, but giving him a 30 thrice is like saying you're perfect, no need to come prepared and all, they might as well hand him the JDJ 5 throne(which he'll probably get anyways)

debu , IMO he is getting 30's bcuz he preparing very hard (and so is everyone else) AND also involving himself completely by coming up with his own ideas for the concepts ... that's what is adding that li'l extra zing to their performance ...
And he is just not the type to get overconfident at all .. I mean , it is quite clear that he has a huge fan following .... but I have never got the feeling that he takes the votes for granted ... he can give "mediocre" or above average performances which would fetch him between 24-27 marks and still get votes .. He can just leave everything upto shampa .. but he isnt doing that , he is pitching in with his own ideas .. If shampa is choreographing the dance , sushant is "directing" the play ( sushant has directed and acted in plays , before joining television..)
He doesnt have the attitude that "I am so popular , I will get votes anyway .. "

Yeah, I know that he is not like KSG😆

Well, my opinion is different, but I feel people will be offended by that. arre nahi yaar... 😆 Oh well, I feel Sushant is able to focus on pitching in with the concept(which is awesome) is because he has already trained in dance, and not just any dance, jazz, which is like a subsect of commercial dancing, so you have that foundation of dance, you know what I mean?
umm .. shall I tell u something ?.. sushant is kinda bad when it comes to dancing impromptu .. 😆
he just has a stock of two-three standard dance steps which he repeats every time he breaks into a dance on the spot 😆 He would make a terrible choreographer ...
He is pitching in with the concepts (basically the story aspect of the dance ) bcuz he is quite a creative person ..who has experience in directing plays ... he is right now in midst of making three short films with his friends.... he has written the screenplay for one, directed an other ..and I think involved in production of all three .. and I think he has acted in them too...
Sushant doesn't have to work as hard as say Shekar do get hold of the beat, rhythm etc and dance accordingly, plus, he has been gifted with a flexible body(otherwise why would he be dancing?😆) I agree Shekhar would obviously find it harder .. and Sushant doesn't have to
work as hard .. but he WILL ...
Therefore, he can also come up with imaginative concepts which provide visual aesthetics to the audience. Sushant can basically be a choreographer if he wants, especially after the whole Mahabharata performance I saw. Nah .. he would do a bad job as a choreographer😆 .. btw.. they took outside help .. a chau expert to teach them some basic stuff..

There have been many discussions on Sushant being trained and therefore not the best person to be in JDJ.

Sushant is not the first contestant to be have training experience in JDJ.....Shweta Salve, Gauhar Khan, Sonali Kulkarni, Sudha Chadran all had training in some branch of dance. The show is literally in the words of 'Dancing with the stars'-celebrities who are not into the field of dance. Training in itself doesn't mean it makes one a good dancer.....i trained in bharatnatyam for three years and mind you my dancing skills are just average.

Master in one doesn't mean master in all....sonali was trained in kathak but wasn't good enough in western (she was not good in kathak either )

When in any competition.....all kinds competitors come to the fore.....but can't call the competition rigged if the all competitors are not of the same level.

The criteria of judging should be on the merit of that individual performance and the performer. Marking is not being done in comparative to others but in comparison to one's previous performance which i feel is fair enough.

I think we should give a fair chance to someone who is passionate about dancing and wants to learn various aspects of it. There is shortfalls in all and advantages too in all. If Sushant's advantage is bringing him 30s at some point his shortfalls will also be noticed.

@debayon:

Forgive me, but the excuse that Sushant knows dance so he can use good concepts made me laugh.

Have you seen the first season of JDJ? One of the most appreciated dancers was Mahesh Manjrekar- an UNTRAINED dancer. His dances stood out due to his concepts--- as a director, he had an idea of storytelling and how to include a certain angle in the dance that could make it stand out. A song- dance routine never held a lot of attention was his belief. Add to that, he got a fab choreo named Sonia who executed his ideas to perfection.

Same goes for Sushant. He is a creative and knowledgeable person, wants to be a director, and is using his ideas in the dance. He suggests and shampa choreographs accordingly---- nowhere has it been said that he helps Shampa out with the choreography. In fact, he himself said that I gave the idea of 'Mrityunjay' and Shampa choreographed it with the help of Tushar- the Chhau expert.

Now would you say about Mahesh Manjrekar?

Giving a concept has nothing much to do with dance. I—a most pathetic dancer---- have given ideas for dance performances that have got first prizes in events--- simply bcos I like to conceptualize and write out stories and tracks, and have devised plays too, which have got appreciation. (Not gloating, just trying to point out a fact)

What I personally feel is that sushant being a trained dancer has turned into a sort of BIAS. He does well and everyone has only one excuse---- oh, he's trained. Well, what most don't see, that now Sushant is competing against the toughest competitor- himself. If he does better than all, but not as good as what he did earlier, he will still get less marks. A trained dancer is ALWAYS scrutinized more. For a 'very good' performance Sushant got 20 in his first round.. while Daya got 23/24 for the Bhangra round which was not liked by judges. You can yourself see the difference.
