Well, we all know how good a dancer Shakti is (she really pwns this season...I'd be disappointed if she doesn't win)...and I don't know about you guys...but her solos, to me, don't showcase the talent that she is...so I feel like if Shakti wants to come out roaring and knock Dharmesh off his top spot...she needs to do a solo like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQZOQ5t5Q6M)

The video is of Ellenore Scott...one of my most favourite contestants ever on SYTYCD...not just cause she's so weird and offbeat like me...but because she's SUCH A GOOD DANCER...and unfortunate to say (I feel like there will be backlash to this statement hehe)...she's better than Shakti...but if Shakti is able to pull off a solo like she did here...I will bow down to Shakti...I know Shakti has it in her and can give a great performance...but if she did a solo like this...she'd blow all the other contestants out of the water and for sure triumph DID2...what do you guys think about the solo??

BTW...do contestants of DID2 visit these forums?? If they do...SHAKTI PLEASE DO A SOLO LIKE THIS!!!

Ellenore is technically so strong and her executions are perfect... and she is kinda quirky...SYTYCD is amazing...but you know what Geeta and Remo will say if she does this kind of piece again...

I LOVE ELLENORE...she's pwns so much...and who cares about what Remo and Geeta says...I've come to the conclusion...through my own bias...that they don't choreograph the routines they say they do...they're dance knowledge is limited...but oh come on...to see a routine like this on DID stage...it'd be a breath of fresh air after everything else we've seen T____T...plus this isn't contemporary (is it)...it's more like pop jazz...with some hip-hop cause she started off with tutting

Yes this dance has a bit of hip hop stances...and I wud love to see such kinda performance on DID...but I bet that even though Shakti wud do it flawless it will be heavily criticized..Anything, not Indian or Latin is taken as contemporary in India LOL...

Does Shakti view these forums...omigad...if she does then I hope she takes what we say and uses it...if not on DID...then she should do the routine and post it on youtube!...I'm dying to see her do something like this cause I know she'll be able to do it....though Ellenore still pwns Shakti

Oh c'mon, Shakti has done even better dances than this Ellenore act, imho.. And SYTYCD solo acts are very short too. This one looks more like an Urban Style... I think Shakti's Chaliya Chaliya solo is better than this one... I wasnt a big fan of Ellenore... She was okay... If Shakti does this kind, Geeta is going to tear her down on national TV, saying she did her own shaily!! I wonder what shaily is D doing?!

😲 blasphemy!! lol I kid 😆....yea I think shorter solo's are better...when it turns out to be a longer solo...moves get repeated and you start to run out of ideas on how to move from one transition to the next...with short solos...its much easier...like a little bomb =|...it's always a matter of opinion...I like Ellenore's act here better than Shakti's one that you mentioned...and I love Ellenore hehe...I think she's got a great personality that shows through her dance and she's technically amazing too...though I think the best ever female dancer on SYTYCD was Kayla...and don't get me started on Geeta...if she thinks that this is similar to what Shakti does...she's so wrong..its miles different...though I don't know what Shakti specializes in...she's a mixed bag of contemporary and jazz and the ilk...but my heart belongs to Ellenore since she and I are so alike in personality...I'm the kooky type of person as well

Orbittle Elanor was superb...I am so glad you shared this link and got to revisit it again...It would be nice to shakti do some of these moves too...
Elenor was the best of the lot....Too bad for me that I could not finish watching last season as I was travelling...But she was one of my favs...

orbittle...that is the problem on DID...even if you show different forms of dance, the general Indian audience doesn't understand the difference..I don't blame them, even the judges are not able to...for them everything looks the same... As for the length of the solo...yeah shorter ones are cute...and I love how all the contestants move to the music when the countdown finishes...
