nureat, i couldnt have said it better. i am posting this comment in support of your statement.
also, sushant who is capable of getting 30's before this perf., had NO need to use this emotion and "exploit' it to get votes. i am sorry, he has already proved what an amazing performer he is.
again, i liked how sumeet didnt ask, any questions to sushant related to his mom passing away or how close he was to his family and all.
another thing after his performance, the guy couldnt get the strength to ASK for votes. which according to Rapier was his intention all along.
so in that span of time and at that moment, he was REALLY emotional.
mona mentioned that sushant personally chose this theme as a tribute to show his mom how far he has come along. its okay to critise the dance in itself. but i would ask the forum members to leave it at that. to take the discussion to a personal level, and cheapen the emotions by questioning it is unfair. please remember, this person has lost his mother,
tommorow if a student did a debate or a gave a speech about the wonders of his mom who passed away, will anyone question it " did he give the speech to gain brownie points?".
if so, what has the world come to, and what have we become?
