Hello,

I am back with some more Raghav appreciation. :P Man, I am totally just watching this show for this guy! He just gets me inspired and excited! :D WHAT a genius! 👏

Like HOW does he always make me fall in love with his style again and again...even if his steps are similar? How does he add so much variety and spontaneity to it each time? It's just unbelievable.

So starting from this Saturday's episode...HOW awesome was the Prince-Raghav performance? TOTALLY the highlight of the episode for me! Gotta say, Raghav was way better than Prince ...Prince was a bit repetitive though I enjoyed watching him dance too. But seriously, Raghav just has this genius that is SO rare! This inherent quality to interpret the music...his performances are just so ALIVE! And then the way he just adds the random-est goofiest little moments in between. 😆 Like the little teasing tongue moment of his in his performance. He's just TOO endearing, really! 😆

I just love this guy! :P 😆

I liked the Soumya-Rohan duet he choreographed this week as well. It's just sweet and amusing to me how inspired he is from Terence too. And he seems to have a liking for that "kitni baatein" song. lol *sigh* Just remembering his duet with Sneha from season 3 on that song...😍...I thought that was a sweet interpretation...with the father/daughter bonding.. to this song. Very sweet performance.

I just also like...and what sets Raghav's acts apart from the other skippers...aside from his awesome genius and creativity of course...is also this CLARITY. Like you can clearly see the dance steps. I find the other acts from the other three skippers many times a bit jumbled. I think Raghav is training is kids very well with the clarity and precision with their dance steps too. Like even regarding Rohan's solo last week with which he was low on energy. I still thought his dancing had that clarity. Most of the other kids are missing that clarity for me.

Speaking of Rohan...I just LOVEDDD his solo performance from today (Sunday's) episode!!!! Reminded me of his "abhi mujh mein kahin" performance which was SO awesome! And Raghav's creativity again! MANNN!! The way he brought out all these little aspects of Krishna. In HIS style! Brilliant. 👏 And Rohan just danced SO sweetly...brilliantly brought out that sweet sa flavour of this song.

Raghav's choreography is just so full of surprises. I love that spontaneous aspect to it. Even though we're so familiar with his dance style by now, we still never know what to expect...atleast I don't. 😆 Just the little FLAVOURS he adds into his choreography. Keeps me inspired and pleasantly surprised each time. Like all those Krishna flavours he put in to Rohan's act. What a beautiful song choice too! Loved it! 😍 This was by far my favourite solo of this episode. Other than that Jeet kid's performance too. 😆

I liked Soumya's performance too actually. Very simple and graceful as this girl always performs. I also thought that the arial prop was indeed very innovative. Yeah, I guess her feet pointing thing could've given her more length and all...but I still enjoyed it. :)

I think Raghav has such sweet se kids in his team. 😆 Both Rohan and Soumya are just so sweet. No faltu show-sha or overconfidence...which I find annoying with kids. 😆 I like Uday that way too. And Faisal. Very sweet kids. Felt really bad for Uday. I have no idea what the heck that Om kid, Shreya and Shalini are still doing in this show...besides being there for lame nautanki/TRP type ke gimmicks...but whatevs. I felt bad for that Deep kid too actually. He danced well.

Also...now that I am just blabbering out all my thoughts on this show at once...:P...that Jeet kid is just adorable! 🤗😆 He's quite an exceptional dancer for his age man! 👏 He was way above par that Tanmay kid during their duet together even though he's so much younger. Seriously, it's just too bad he went into Neerav's team. Because Raghav and him have an awesome bonding! 😆 LOL Yeah, you could totally tell that Raghav loved this kid from the beginning only...he was always giving him standing ovations and all. Aww. Raghav seems to have a great bonding with Uday as well actually. Anyone else notice how Raghav was talking to Uday after his elimination? Aww...Uday's dance style was also very similar to Raghav's. I actually wondered if Raghav did choreograph for him...because alot of his acts did not seem like Kruti's choreography to me...:S lol anyways...who knows.

Waisse, random point...but did anyone else notice how Neerav copied the EXACT same steps from Terence for his "tu mera hero" act? 🥱 This dude has no originality, seriously. He copies Raghav's steps all the time too. Lame. Actually has anyone noticed how many people seem to be inspired from Raghav's style/his steps all the time? lol...Even Kruti's choreography for Om in this episode had Raghav style glimpses to it...lol. His style is just so inspiring...

Anyways...I just love Raghav...what an awesome and inspiring character all around! This show...this season would just be dead without him. Oh and even when Terence appeared last week...and the way he noticed a more solemn Raghav than his usual goofy/humorous side. I totally went aww there. And it's so true. You can see how seriously Raghav is taking this competition. Whoever created those dumb rumours regarding Raghav being lazy and all during DID season 3 should see him now. He's working so hard for these kids, you can totally tell. And I absolutely love his bonding with the kids...not just from his own team, but all of them. :)

Lol same here! Raghav is the best skipper, best contestant... rather the best thing that has happened to DID. I can see much better dancers on international shows than the ones on DID but Raghav's ingenuity and ability to shock has got me hooked.

I totally agree about Neerav's plagiarizing ideas from others. His act for Jeet tonight with dubstep was the EXACT copy of Raghav's choreography that he had set for Pradeep for wildcard, the going up to the platform etc. Too bad the stand-bys werent shown on the show. But watch it here, it was EPIC. Better than Prince's performance on the same song Main Deewana in season 1.
And this really puts me off of Neerav. 👎🏼

Oh thanks for posting that link! Woah, how come all these performances were never aired? :S This show has gotten SO weird man.

That Pradeep kid was awesome, indeed! 👏😆 Each beat/move was so clear and crisp. LOL I liked him better than Prince too. Prince has started becoming a little repetitive for me...though I still think he's better than Kruti and Neerav with his choreography. But dancing wise, I think Raghav has this quality...even if he performs his style/his familiar steps...they still don't seem repetitive to me for some reason. lol

I loved that little trio thing Prince, Raghav and Pradeep did. And Raghav's little fluid/liquid whatever movements in between...SO smooth man! 😆 So easy...

Even that girl who performed on "o re piya" was very graceful. Despite of that weird version of this song. :S lol That is just sad that these performances were never aired.

If I include these performances with the wild card episodes...I think this Pradeep kid, Yash and Jeet Das were the best ones.

I wish Yash was selected instead of that Tanmay kid. I just don't see what's so great about him. He bores me, just like Neerav. 😆 I thought that wild card performance of Yash's was so awesome too. Raghav gave him SUCH different and difficult steps to do...that too non-stop. And he had great energy...much better than the Rishi kid for sure. I even liked Susanket's performance. 😆

Raghav actually really surprised me with his "mangal pandey" choreography for Yash and even his choreography for Rohan last week...despite Rohan getting low on energy. Just the fact that he thought of such intense DANCE steps like that. There was just so much dancing in that choreography...totally unlike Raghav's style. This guy has been such a pleasant surprise all throughout this season. I'm an even bigger fan of his now than I was during DID 3. 😆

Something else I just thought of as I was watching Rohan's 'sun re sakhi' solo for the 10th time...lol...

I wonder if all these classic Krishna poses...and just that little classical touch...I wonder if that was all intentionally thought out by Raghav? Because I just thought it was SO genius! Just the little subtle glimpses of Krishna's character in between all his Raghav hip-hop style moves. Just HOW does Raghav do this? I'm in awe. 😍 He just HOOKS you in completely to this style of dancing. It's FULL of surprises. Each little bit of the music is utilized so wonderfully...

And I just have to appreciate Rohan full on too...the kid was so brilliant...and just the sweetness he kept intact for this performance! 🤗 I could just hug him for that. The little bits of grace and subtlety...and expressiveness he put into his performance.

Just the DETAILS! 😍
