First things first, we NEVER bashed her! If you would remember it, I myself was SO impressed with the whole concept, NOT the dance, but the concept, until I logged on into the forum and saw videos of how it was a copied act. Now, you'll tell me it was not entirely copied. Does not make a difference to me. Remo has done it earlier to, using international performances, it still makes them "copied" to me unless you give credit to the original choreographer. Neither Remo nor Geeta ever did that!
Now my reasons:
1. The whole concept was the same. Changing the story does NOT make it difference. The whole essence and beauty of the original performance felt exactly like the copied one.
2. The costumes were nearly the same. She couldn't find any other costumes? That's utterly ridiculous. Krishna's costumes were exactly the same, and so was the Kalia thing entirely the same.
3. The song was the same, so were the background tunes. In some parts, I actually found the choreography to be somewhat similar too. So, that shows she does not have the creativity to try new stuff despite same costumes and song right?
4. The prop and lighting were EXACTLY the same. It does NOT matter whether it was only in the end, at the beginning, or throughout. What matters is that it was undoubtedly a ditto copy of the original act in those terms, that is, in terms of prop and lighting.
5. It was a duo act instead of a group act. SOOOO? Does that change the fact that it was the same thing? NO! No! no... !!
After all this, if you find the whole "act" not to be the same, good for you truly. All I can say is that I was initially very impressed, only to be hugely disappointed by the whole thing about "copying" and then not giving credit. You want to take a concept, good enough, but man, at least put something of yours to make it special. Otherwise, she could just have shown a video of the previous act!
