I posted my answer to this confusion earlier on this thread - on page 2. Here it is:
That part about Terence's comments on Kruti was shown in the promo video but they edited it out from the actual airing. If you watch Kruti's solo act carefully again, she stumbled a bit while sliding off the table to the floor. Terence mentioned about points to improve, and not negative points. Kruti was superb today, and I wish my eyes didnt catch that small mishap, else I would have given her 10/10 for her act. Because I saw it, I made it 9.75 in my rating.
Please dont say that about Terence... It's sad to hear. Terence has given standing ovation to Kruti too many times, except when she had flaws. He did/does the same to Amar, Jack, Parvez, Vandu, and even contestants from other teams. Shakti does her acts with great perfection most often and so as a choreographer and mentor, it makes him proud and happy and he acknowledges that by giving a standing ovation. When Kruti did her classical dance, Terence was so overwhelmed and even bowed down to her. I have never felt Terence is making Shakti over-rated. He never kept harping about her performance or argued with other masters when they criticized her for her style and not her mistakes, while he has supported Kruti when they have made comments about her mistakes..
I liked both Kruti's dances this week and both Shakti's too, and also Amar's and Jack's, as well as of Shashank, Tashu, Punit, Amrita, Dharmesh, Kishore and Binny. Yes, Saajan is not in the list as his solo dance was my least favorite this week. Terence has to work with the skills and talent of each dancer while making sure they can pull it off comfortably with few mistakes and learn it in a week and wouldnt appear as they are struggling with it on stage. All these dancers can do a dance in a week on stage, but making them do it flawless is not easy. Even with hard training, if they are not comfortable with the form, they will make errors, and it will also affect their confidence when they perform on stage. The songs also make a difference. Terence chooses the right mood songs for the acts and so if it;s a slow sentimental song, some people dont feel a wow in the dance, whereas if a song with beats was used instead, people would feel the wow from the song... The same reason why people didnt like Vandu's solo act in the WC round..
