Nice post and I am glad that you are putting your point of view forward.
However, I would disagree just because I criticize Shakti knowing what her potential is. Last season Lauren was questioned after every performance by certain people as well. Trained dancers such as Lauren and Shakti have showcased how capable they are in previous dance shows. This leads to the audience expecting them to raise their bars when performing. As a keen follower of DID and JDJ, I know the potential which Shakti has and I will point flaws out if I see it. It might seem a bit over the top but as a trained dancer myself I can easily spot certain mistakes.
Also, not to forget that a lot of people who follow JDJ are dancers themselves and happen to point out certain aspects of performances which the so called judges don't. In fact, in some cases I believe they should be looking at Shakti's technicality perhaps a lot more than other dancers. However, I feel that the contrary takes place in JDJ.
Anyhow, besides the criticism there is no denying how good of a dancer she is. No matter what happens in the future, SHE will be the only one experiencing and learning from this journey.
