Unfair Judging Or the Format? - Page 2

I think that everyone on this show has been butchering dance forms. The Pasa Doble that some contestants present, the Salsa that some contestants try to show - none of those dance forms are proper. And PD, Salsa, etc. are dances we are exposed to; at least, these contestants (except maybe Shaan) are exposed and have previously done these dance styles..- in clubs, in movies/TV shows, in shows, etc.

Bharatnatyam is something that Lauren has never done. She was basically challenged by the public so she gave it her best and presented a dance style that the Indian public wanted her to do. (Even people around me who were watching Jhalak commented that why are they making only Lauren do an Indian style when the others aren't doing it?). Her efforts should be appreciated as she has demonstrated that she can do any dance style - and is the best dancer on jhalak.

The dance was amazing!!! The postures she held were beautiful and the expressions were bang-on. I agree that the softness usually seen in Indian dance forms wasn't there but like commented on, this is something we can't expect her to understand (as she doesn't put on a maang teeka or make a chooti), this not being her life-style.

IMO, the act was very entertaining and the scores were fair as Remo and Madhuri scored on the technique and KJo scored on the overall effect.

there is a difference between indian dance forms and indian classical dance forms..

I was the first one to appreciate Shaan for his Malakhamb act (and his attempt at Aerial). However, you have to agree that there was a vast difference between Shaan's attempt and Lauren's attempt. Apart from not having the softness that Indian traditional dancers have, her postures were correct. If I remember correctly, Shaan had a few slip-ups. I don't remember which dance forms you are referring to in terms of DD but for KVB, the Indian dance form he did as a girl was also good but had flaws noticeable to the lay eye.

In Lauren's case, a lay person cannot point out any "flaws". Any "flaws" can be attributed to the one who taught her the moves but not to Lauren as she held on to every position way until the end.

I think that Lauren is an amazing dancer and if we even take that away from her, that would be completely unfair. I honestly thought one judge's comments were unfair as they did not encourage her for doing this most difficult form of dance for the first time. Like Nimmi said and like I said in another post, it's like having an Indian trained dancer do Ballet.

PS - Nimmi, we think alike! I brought up ballet in another post too! Lovely posts! 😊

Awesome post nimmi and shelly. WORD!!! you guys have said it all, I have nothing to add in this 😆 😆

honestly i didn't find the dance that interesting and it was not worth 9,she is a good dancer but that doesn't mean she excel everywhere..it was not a good bharatnathyam.

other contestants also tried their hands in new dance forms so why don't they get extra points for new dance forms pathetic judgements...these judges can sleep where lauren is concern n give a 10 as soon as they wake up..they are making public disliking her

Thank you so much for giving a sensible comment. This forum had become a war zone, people are blindly following their favourite contestants and they can't see the fair/unfair thing that is actually happening.

I loved many of lauren's performances like the charlie chaplin act. donno why that didnt get 30 yet ... the act of shama and parwana...

But offlate the performance are degraded and whom to blame? The judges who is making unnecessary hypes.

And its not about lauren did bad, its about how the judges are unfair and this is making other contestant's fans hate her. Thats it...
