My Ratings are pretty much going to match yours Ms. Universe! --
Just wanted to mention that I don't think the Masters were favoring Khushboo and Vaishnavi. They deserved the praises because week after week they have surpassed expectations so it was more of a surprise of how good both are doing. Truthfully speaking, Hansika and Vatsal are awesome, but haven't had such impactful performances as Khusboo and Vaishnavi have.
Dharmesh's team- 10/10
PERFECT! Not a single thing out of place in this performance. It was innovative, creative, entertaining with pinches of comical elements, lots of dancing, awesome choreography, great formations, etc.. in a simple word, PERFECT. I loved it and this has become my favorite group act thus far of DID Lil' Masters. Keep it up Dharmesh! ⭐️👏👍🏼
Jai's team- 9/10 I loved the tap dance! The choreography and the little elements he put in the dance were awesome. It was like a blend of street dance with Tap. Street dancers do "tap" with the garbage can lids and the basketball and he added it to the dance which definitely enhanced the performance. I felt the coordination was not perfect and I agree with Sandeep that they should have done at least some portions without music (to get the full tap dance feel), but overall, I enjoyed it! 👏
Amrita's team - 9/10
I thought it was beautiful! After watching 3 upbeat performances, this was soothing and emotional. Amrita is a beautiful choreographer and dancer and the mood of the dance was perfectly set. It indeed had an emotional story line, but only for those that wanted to perceive it that way, for the rest, it could have just been a contemporary dance that depicts a story. She contained all her emotions with the eliminations and she brought it out perfectly. Very well done!
Mayuresh & Vrushali's team - 7.5/10
I LOVE THE JabbaWockeeZ & NO ONE can compare to them! Yes, many try to mimic their style and creativity, but no one can come close. Mayuresh and Vrushali's attempt was okay but quite disappointing in my opinion. The execution of the dance was not clean and smooth as it should be, and the choreography was not strong enough. When one depicts a style of such a HUGE and popular group, it needs to be done right (even if not perfect). 😕 But, I loved the song mix!
Dharmesh clearly stole the show today and a very well deserved HAT from Sandeep and the Best Group Performance of the Day!!! 👏 👍🏼
Individual performances:
Vaishnavi - 9.5/10
Vaishnavi was FABULOUS! She has been proving herself every week and is by far the most versatile dancer on the show. Considering she was doing Bharatnatyam on such a fast paced song, it was so beautifully performed. It could have been a disaster if she didn't keep the grace, dignity, and expressions of such a classical form, but she was just beautiful! 👏
Khushboo - 9.5/10
Following Vaishnavi, she is definitely the 2nd strongest contender in my opinion. She is another one who has been growing as a dancer and proving her talent. Her performance today was full of energy, passion and it was just AMAZING! Amrita is a brilliant choreographer!! 👏
Vatsal - 7.5/10
Vatsal is a very good dancer, and I just don't think Jai did full justice to his capabilities. This was a very below average performance due to the lack of high level choreography and proper prop usage. Disappointing, and hence the departure of Vatsal. 😕
Hansika - 7.0/10
Considering that Hansika was dancing in her comfort zone, this was a very disappointing performance. I couldn't believe i was seeing Hansika dance. She did not have that grace and innocence she had during auditions. The choreography was very weak and for the most part did not match the song and rhythm. I know Hansika could have done better because she is a strong dancer! I did enjoy her signature moves, but agree with the Masters that she overdosed on unnecessary expressions. 😕👎🏼
I am not surprised that Vatsal and Hansika were opted out. They were clearly the weakest contenders in the trial zone today and it is sad because we know both are a lot better than what we saw today. At the same time, they were up against 2 extremely strong dancers who completely stole the show. Good luck to Hansika and Vatsal for Wild Card, but my hope is to see Anurag and Adhar come back (of course that will probably change after seeing the performances!) ⭐️
