JDJ8 Contestants: Review Week 2. - Page 2

Sanaya was stiff like stick
Actually Manish was right she was looking like hockey stick
😆

even I expected more frm radhika... I hope she does well.

Sanaya was extremly beautiful n showed a big progress in her dance...

Cuming to scarlet, well lauren said she is not a dancer bt according to wikipedia's biography scarlet is a trained dancer. I doubt whose incorret.

Shamita was extreamly gorgeous n dance n choreography was really good.

Rest were good as well

It's nice to read your review. Even though, I may disagree with some things and agree with others, it's interesting to read another perspective with a little/no bias. I would also love it if you could/get time to write more reviews during this season.

Hey...thanks for Coming up with Review 2 post , Awesome Review.

Nice post

Finally a thread that discuss actually dancing on the forum.




[/QUOTE agree with bold first some thread which discusses dancing 😆 ! do agree what u said about scores being distributed like ladoos as judges became halwaais.

Thanks for one sane thread. I am actually enjoying this season and performances a lot more than I expected. All the contestants have likeable personalities and there is no obvious bias so far.

Shamita: My absolute fav performance so far. It had everything; energy, moves, lifts...And Shamita and her choreo did it with so much ease and fluidity. Shamita has a very good stage presence and commands attention. She was one contestant whose attitude I was most apprehensive about because of her Bollywood background and the fact that she is Shilpas sister. But she seems really sincere about the show and is genuinely interested in what judges say.

Radhika : IMO she was much better this week than last one. Her performance may not have been consistent and extraordinary on the whole, but she did really well in some parts. All she and her choreo need to do is to join those parts and put up a comprehensive performance. She has a lot of potential.

Deeipka: I was not impressed at all last week. But this week she gave a pleasant surprise. I liked the dance and esp the choreography. Some moves were quite innovative. Technicalities may not have been perfect, but she carried the performance quite decently. Maybe I am a little biased too coz they were the only team to try something Indian. I wish more contestants would try Indian dance form in coming weeks, it brings variety to the show.

Scarlett: I had not seen her performance last week, so this is the first time I am seeing her perform. She was good and flexible, but I was not exactly bowled over. Maybe there was something lacking in the choreography. Idk, I found the moves and dance a bit restrictive. I can see that she is a good dancer but there was no Wow factor for me in the dance.

Sanaya : Definite improvement from last week. She looked delicate, graceful , ethereal. Even the dance was very dreamy and romantic. But the steps were quite simple. There was nothing extraordinary. Any other season and it would have been a very good second week performance, but this season has an extra zing, so her dance was not that remarkable when compared to others. Good thing is she was much more fluid this time. So her choreo needs to push her a little more and come up with something really different.

Kavita : She is totally bindass and uninhibited on stage. Thats a huge plus. Her dance was lot of fun and she is very expressive and entertaining. Also since she was in her very famous on screen character, she was totally in her elements and very comfortable. kavita has a very strong personality, so it would be interesting to see how she moulds herself to different dance forms, esp softer ones.

Subreet : She was much, much better than last week and even her scoring was more apt this time. So no complaints.

Faisal : I loved, loved his performance last week, this week not so much. Of course Both him and Vaishanvi danced very well, did some fantastic lifts, but there was nothing innovative IMO. Maybe I am being a bit harsh coz he himself set standards vry high last week. I know he is one of the most talented dancers, so I expect more from him in coming weeks.

Ashish: Dident see his performance and anyways it was incomplete so no point judging. Just hope his choreographer gets well soon and he doesnt have to be eliminated on the basis of an incomplete act.

Mohit : Mohit was average. He is certainly one of the weaker contestants, so will have to work hard. He does seem to have potential. Let's see.

Vivian: Same as Mohit. He was clearly disappointed at forgetting steps, but since these are initial weeks, wont be harsh on him. But he will have to work hard. He has the fan following, just needs to take care of dance.

Raftaar: Raftaar is very good. His both performances have been fast, energetic and with a lot of moves. He is flexible with smooth transitions. Definitely the best male contestant after Faisal.

Coming to show over all, I think they need to cut the gay jokes, weight jokes,bum jokes and other such lame jokes like now. Forced flirtation between Anchors-Judges/ Judges-Contestants/ Judges-Judges is maha irritating, old and boring. Please change it. And Manish -Karan overdose is beyond irritating now. Shahid needs to stop juggling between Judging and hosting. He is good, but too much Comedy taked away the seriousness of Judges chair. Though I like how he is extra encouraging when contestants have fumbled or are feeling disappointed at themselves.

Most of the choreographers are new, and I am OK with it , but I hope that in coming weeks they do come up with something innovative and outstanding, and push the level of competition further. Most of the contestant are good /have potential this season so choreos need to push them a littler harder and come up with something clutter-breaking.

Hi 😊

So far I'm finding this to be a much better season than the last few in terms of overall dancing and content...last few seasons were cookie cutter in nature in that there was one strong/trained dancer and the usual 2-3 TV actors attempting to dance their way through mediocre choreographies.


So far this season I see a marked improvement in terms of choreography as well as the kind of contestants there are this time around...barring the usual TV "non dancers", I feel like the rest of the bunch is genuinely hard working, sincere and INTO the show this time...that's making a difference...



I quite enjoyed most of the performances...even Radhika did a good job I felt...unlike most of the TV actresses sticking to a typical acting-based formula, I still see her dancing and having some style to her dancing.


Faisal is outstanding as I expect him to be...poor kiddo has really gained some weight though...lol he should grow his hair and try to achieve his DID days weight again.


Raftaar is fantastic...he has that natural swag as Lauren rightly pointed out and is charming with what he speaks too...Sneha and him are a good match...she can get something out of him.


Deepak is also doing a good job with Shamita...Kavita stands out for how much she enjoys herself during her performances...


I think the only insipid character right now for me is Dipika...total washout...doesn't have personality while dancing.


As for the judging...Shahid is fun when he's not jumping over to the stage and trying to play host...I like his comments otherwise...they feel genuine and not so put on...Lauren is adorable too in the way she's trying and she gives good/clear points.


I am surprisingly enjoying the season more than I expected to so far...lol...depends on how long the interesting contestants are allowed to stay as the popular TV personalities squeeze them out of the way in terms of votes.
