Cool factor, skill factor (and good looks)

The "cool" factor is heavier than "skill' factor....for all dancers who know beyond doubt that they have exceptional skills, focus more on the "style" factor from now on.

Although, I will say that you get a super star when you match cool with skill (and the looks)......I don't think any of the DID contestants reached that level - Think Hritik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai (considering dancing talents only)

How could you compare apples with oranges? The kids on DID were mostly from very humble backgrounds. They did not get even a single re-take on their performances (except for Khushboo) and they performed in one go. They did not have the luxury of their personal make-up artist and light and camera angle that suits their face etc. If they get a chance like the mega stars of today, I am sure Salman, Mayuresh, Khushboo, Vrushali, Siddhesh, Alisha, Jai will look pretty darn good and they will put the tars to shame when it comes to dancing skills.

OK...you have a valid point. I think even with lights, camera and retakes...our DIDkids are not there yet. I do hink that all can work on their "cool factor" more. Although I do think with some training and expeience some of them can get there.

Like said earlier they're all from humble backgrounds, and did not have all luxories that all the stars do, so I think they bloody well did a fabulous job with whatever they did have! Always looking graceful in any attire, not having make-up re-touches every ten minutes, and yeah not having re-takes and all that, therefore baring that in mind they all managed to carry themselves beautifully. According to me they had quite a bit of the cool factor. :)
