My views on Today! A lot of errors! - Page 2

As far as dharmesh performance is concerned it's not a rule when you do lyrical hip hop you can not dance in beats .majorly lyrical hip hop is combination of contemporay and regular hip hop where you dance with soft songs but very strong beats ,very cleverly geeta took the doll concept to some how manage expressions of D sir (he is bit weak in emoting)

Haha nope sorry Akanna, I still stand by Dharmesh's lyrical hip hop. Yes buntys explanation for lyrical hip hop is correct and pretty much exactly what I wrote in my little briefing of different hip hop styles. I mentioned that Dharmeshs wasn't as good as Amars but it was different and had a feel good mood to it. I loved his rhythmic timing and his beat timing. :)

This is from YOUR posts -- "Dharmesh (9.5)' I loved his performance. As much as I say i want to see Dharmesh do other styles, I honestly just LOVE watching him do HIp hop!! Lyrical Hip hop is not really Dharmesh's genre, BUT he was perfect. I'm not surprised that he was because even though he is a pop & locker, he has the flow for lyrical hip hop, which most of us might agree on. The DOLL concept was amazing. Dharmesh was actually romantic & expressive, which made me love this dance even more! lol GREAT JOB!! =)" and in another thread, you said -- "Actually, what Dharmesh did was fully Lyrical Hip Hop. You have to be crisp and rhythmic, which he was. His movement was very smooth and light, the way it needs to be according to the lyrics. And this time, Dharmesh was actually very expressive and did very well."

This is what Bunty had said in this thread -- "Dharmesh 8/10 -- I dont like Dharmesh but I do feel he was the best today. Lyrical hip hop looks easy but its certainly not. Although most of the time he was dancing to the "beat" and not the lyrics. But even though it went against his challenge he did hit the beats hard! Im surprised nobody caught that. Usually in Lyrical you only dance to the beats once or twice but his was....lyric-lyric-beat-beat. which isnt right"

See the underlined parts in both sets of comments! And if you are still going to argue that you both had the same opinions, then maybe you can fool others here. I rest my case, whether you agree or not, as I have my answers already!! 😊


LoL Akanna, I was referring to my post on some description of Hip Hop Styles.
Check it out: http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1370115

That is what i meant by how we have the same idea of what each genre is. He just elaborated it by placing it next to each contestant. And I'll say it again, I thought Dharmesh did a great job. Granted, I saw his dance a few more times to be sure and he definitely was not as "lyrical" in his dance as Amar was, but he did not dance "lyric-lyric-beat-beat" the whole dance. He did mix it up, but my point is, that I felt his take on this performance was awesome (and i'm not even a Dharmesh fan! lol)

P.S. --> I am a hip hopper... so i LOVE watching good hip hop performances.. although i can't wait for the other masters challenges =)
😊

Thank you all for your comments! You are all right....I do have a lot of knowledge about hip hop....i've been apart of a hip hop dance studio since i was 6-7 years old and at my university my second major was hip hop dance😃...........I dont know too much about Ballroom or Contemporary though so you wont see me describing those genres with that much info haha😆 😆

Wow. You clearly have a lot of knowledge on hip hop.

Thanks for the informative post.

I saw the krumping video you posted. Ok so I have a question for you, did the krumping in that video also have b-boying in it? I noticed one head step of Russell's was similar to one of Amar's steps today.

I don't know, for me I just have a hard time in general differentiating all these styles. I guess it's because I have ZERO knowledge of any of these dance forms. I mean I have tried hip-hop dance but it's been all freestyle and not too technical.

Anyways, loved your post thanks for the info. So alot of the judges' comments weren't that accurate either? lol Interesting.

Yup your right, in Russell's video he did do a couple of dance moves that were not krumping, a few bboy moves to..

Im still trying to look for a krumping video but they dont show the persons back. So its kinda of hard to describe haha.

lol Dont worry about the technicality haha! I didnt know ANYTHING when i started dancing, i was a mess haha.

And you are right that Amrtia's attitude was good.

It just really bothers me when these judges give descriptions that arent accurate, I dont know why my blood just boils LOL.

To some extent, Nothing is a rule in hip hop. Everything in hip hop can be tweaked a bit. Hip hop is known as a freestyle dance.

But this particular episode was promoted HEAVILY on doing dance forms that certain contestants may not have done. Because the episode is of this nature, thats why I even bothered making a post.

Lyrical is "supposed" to be 80% lyrics and 20% beats......... Dharmesh's was probably 60% lyrics and 40% beats.

The one reason I am pointing it out is AGAIN, this is the masters challenge and apparently they were supposed to do another dance form as a challenge.

Challenges like this cannot be tweaked I mean its a "challenge". Your supposed to prove your ability and talent with challenges. If you tweak it then what are u proving?

I liked your post very much 👍🏼
Very in-depth and technical.

Hi Bunty! That was indeed a superb post! I personally liked reading it, what's more, you made me go and read a bit about Hip Hop, not to say, I was quite surprised by some of the wonderful things I learnt! 😛

Firstly, I definitely think, from the little I know, and how you've said it in your last post, there definitely is no CONCRETE rule in Hip Hop. I mean we've had this discussion before, I don't know if you've read it, when Remo and Terence themselves performed on lyrical Hip Hop. From that day, I learnt that there's no concrete way of doing the lyrical part of it. Of course, being a contemporary professional, you'll have a greater flow in your movements, and being a pure Hip Hop dancer, you'll have more crisp, sharp movements. Personally, I like both styles of doing it. I liked Remo and Dharmesh as much as I liked Terence and Kunwar Amar doing it. There's no denying that for me.

Glad to hear that!

Hip hop has a very long history! Its a fairly new style, Hip hop started being recognized in 1970's but the dance DID exist before. I personally love reading about the history of it.

There are even more hip hop styles that are starting to be recognized too. Theres Jaaz-Funk which is a fusion of jaaz and hip hop! Love that style.

I once saw a fusion of an traditional spanish dance combined with Hip Hop. There is even Hip-hop combined with Salsa and Merengue.

Its a huge growing industry! I dont even think hip hop has reached its peak yet!

Thanks for the insight into the episode, Bunty. I have stopped watching DID2 but after reading your comments, I decided to watch the episode online. Your analysis was bang on and although I felt that overall the performances were average, Binny's performance was absolutely ridiculous. If she was so unwell then maybe she should have sat out rather than give us a performance like that. The krumping performance was a joke as it was not anywhere near true krumping. These masters need to really do their research more thoroughly.

Wow!!! Take a bow Bunty for your detailed synopsis on each of the dance forms. It surely was very informative. I had missed watching DID this week but after reading your post will do so at the first instance. Thank you!
