As GM had asked the girls-Alisha, Khusboo and Sunita to perform Michael Jackson dance. We all have seen them perform every week and surely the dance form is Alisha's forte while Khusboo can be above avg but its sore point for Sunita.
After seeing the performances, very rightly the winner is Alisha but criticism towards Sunita was too harsh by Terence and surprisingly Geeta didnt voice out support, something which a mentor must do, simply to keep up the morale of the person. Remo does this most often followed by Terence. I found Khusboo the weakest today but all the critiquing was directed towards Sunita, which is unfair. At the beginging itself Terence and Remo pointed out that Sunita is the weakest, the prejudiced was prevalent and sadly they allowed it to prevail while judging the performance too.

So when members on an online forum can sit and discuss how sunita is the weakest dancer and desperately needs to up her game its perfectly fine but when judges who have been in the industry for years say it, why does it sting so much?

Terence is the least biased and never supports his contestants-I can't even think of one situation where he stood up for his contestants can you? (In jai's bungee thing, he stood up for the risk factor not for his dance). Geeta maa is always very defensive too, but you probably don't notice through remo's behaviour towards his students. Did you forget siddesh's pot breaking act last week? When the judges were saying what a bad act it was and how geeta didn't say a word-she just screwfaced at both judges! Enuff said.

Sunita IS the weakest and I hope she does something about it or ppl are gonna keep giving her bad comments.

Sunita did dance better than Khusboo whose style actually suits this more. Anyway Alisha was clearly the best and as Remo put forth the props bolstered her act. If one compares Khusboo vs Sunita for this particular MJ style only then Sunita was better. All judges have been defensive when their protege's performance is criticised and that includes Terence too. Remo is the only mentor who whole heartedly supports his proteges and nothing wrong with that, he believes in them and so be it. But when accessing someone's known weak area using euphesism isnt bad, is it? Sunita is good in classical and bollywood style dances. Each dancer has their own forte and weak area so one cant say that just becoz of one dance form, all the other strengths are decimated. Can u imagine Prince doing Kathakali? NO it wont suit him and besides he wont be able to carry off the costume, If he even tries Garba or rajasthani dance wont suit him, does that take away his popping and locking? Just for info :Prince and Sunita won the Lux best performance award!!

Remo does whole heartedly support his contestants and yes there is something wrong with that. If khusboo were to dance on stage and forget a chunk of his choreo on the stage he wouldn't say a word other than maybe-you caught up excellently despite being under so much pressure. Remo fails to do that even once. And pls give me just one example where he (Terence) has stood up for his students cos seriously I can't think of even one. The only reason you say we can't imagine prince doing kathakali is only due to the reason that remo is a narrow minded choreo who refuses 2 give prince something to show his other dancing skills. I can infact imagine prince in a garba outfit and I actually think he would look really cute! It's just we think he can't do it cos narrow minded remo only gives him l&p to do week after week and we form a sterotype of what he can and can't do.

Sunita is constantly proving she is one of the weakest dancers on the show and I don't understand why it hurt so much to hear the professionals say it when most members here think the same?

Meh congrats 2 prince and sunita. He excelled in his fort for the 4895th time and sunita gave him support. Loved the performance but DID is abt being an overall versatile dancer and neither have proved that they are.😕

I agree with you, supporting your contestants is fine and boosting their morale is fine but you have to do it bakstage. When one is on stage...it is a competition. Remo gives a blind eye to all the mistakes his students do on stage because only the choreographer will know if the actual step of dance is performed or not. Mangesh used to do this all the time...he used to put his steps while forgetting the actual choreography. Remo never once said that during the judging...it was known to us only when during the AVs remo in a lighter moment said that and was caught on by Geeta then. I think it is not fair to do this kind of thing with dancers who are actually good. Today too Alisha was way way better with the dance enactment of Michael Jackson with or without th eprops...the entire choreography was good and she performed it with ease. But remo couldn't accept the fact and had to say that she was good because of the props otherwise Khushboo had done equally good. Why does he always take the moment of other dancers with a pinch of salt....Give them their due. Agree it is a duel between the best dancers, but the motive is to find the best dancer and judge comes first and mentor second...As a judge one is supposed to be fair.

I was quite surprised at Remo's comments for the girls. I liked quite a few of his choreography and concepts that he is bringing on to the stage.
Undoubtedly, Alisha is the best among the girls in this kind of dance. It is her forte, I agree. But, the way Remo said is like it was only the props that made her performance. "If others would have got the props then, they would also have done well." Who stopped the others from using the props? I am just curious as to who choreographed the MJ dances for all the 3 girls. I thought that it is their own mentors. If the mentors have choreographed their numbers then, why was Remo crying about using the props? I didn't see him saying a good thing about Alisha. He didn't fail to point out Sunita's mistake though. But, surely he had to say what Sunita's mistake was.
Terence, on the other hand, pointed out the mistakes by all the 3 girls. Remo's attitude today reminded me of Mithunda has said before. "It takes a lot of courage and heart to say that someone else did better than me."
To me, Remo and Terence are quite opposite as mentors. While Remo can't see anything but how good his pupils are, Terence can't stop pointing out the mistakes his pupils are making, however good they are doing. If given a choice, I would choose a master who would point out my mistakes and help me make better in whatever I am doing, rather than one who is always praising about me.
Terence, be the way you are. It doesn't really matter whether you win or not. Utimately, its who you are and how far you go in life. My best wishes to all the contestants.
