thanks cute2stay for opening this topic:
i am getting TIRED of lame concepts doing the same 2 steps and 5 lifts with some kick and punch in the air. none of the performances yesterday wowed me.
my problem was not the theme but the prop itself. it was this bizarre looking, funky... i dont know what to call it. Chang and Yana did lifts and lifts and kicks. where is the DANCE? and WHY give a theme which doesnt test the contestants dancing skill? all of them ended up doing some concoction of hip-hop, jazz, contemprary.
Why did mahi have a different prop than chang and yana?
MAHI: i liked her performance due to the song and the dance. savio listened to remo and did minimal lifts and had a lots of dancing. but poor mahi kept loosing her balance and couldnt do it right.
Chang: i liked his performance, but again too many kicks and the whole thing seemed like left hand/right hand, kick out left leg, routine.
yana: i am TIRED of her doing lifts. every movement is leading to another lift. while i commend her upperbody strength and ability to do a lift, it seems like they are ONLY going to do lifts and its their gameplan. i was surprised remo didnt point that out as he pointed it out to savio. they didnt deserve a 30,imo
ALL of the contestants had some cordination issues, it wasnt anyone's BEST performance and i felt they were marked high...
this is JUST my opnion, but did sushant's absence make it easier on the contestants?? as a viewer, i could predict the marks and the contestant's rank in terms of performance.
overall, i want to be wowed by the TOP 4. i thought the prop was beyond bizzarre, the dances were lackluster, the same hip/hop, jazz, contemprary with the judges just as bored as the contestants and viewers...
