Performances are not enacted in front of the judges!

I noticed this week, with Ashish's and I think Purab and some other performances maybe...when the contestants do a particular dance move where the camera spins in a full circle - , if you look carefully the judges seats are COMPLETELY empty, and there is no one sitting there!

Yes, they are. I have watched all the seasons and they carefully darken the audience and the judges' places, so their reactions won't distract us from the performance.

I think you should watch this weeks, especially Sundays episode. I have a HUGE tv so I can see VERY clearly that the seat is completely empty (it was not darkened)

i always have this doubt that judges really watching the performance or not

These things happens regulary on talent shows...dont take them seriously, its all just gimmick. Last year in Jhalak only I made a similar post. Last year SRK was promoting a film & during a similar bad camera angle, trhe other 3 judges were shown but SRK was nowhere to be seen, but comments were given one by one. I think all these celeb judges do not have much time to waste on a show set, they just come & see all performances in 2-3 hours & leave.

Really? But last yeart Mukti did a mujra on Inhi logun ne. And in the middle of the act she went to the judges and did a small step with the dupatta there.

no i dont think so...
times judges leave their chairs nd sit in centre to have a clear view...ya

A very long time back I once went to the sets of then Sa Re Ga Ma. One of the contestants sung the song but somehow the video was not perfect so she had to just lip sync the song they had already recorded when she was singing and then judges started their comments. I said this because maybe at times the video could not capture what was intended so they edit in the pieces from technicals, just my guess.
