Effects of Props/Song on the performance

Well, there have been too many repetitive posts and now it is saturating my brain , so here's a new topic about something other than the contestants 😉

I have been watching these performances for many episodes and I feel the "choice of song" makes a big difference to an act at least for me. There are times when some of good songs are used, they overshadow the performance or it's faults just for being an awesome song. The overall effect of an act gets completely modified depending on what song they choose.


Example, for me, Karan Wahi performing on Jism 2 song, made the performance more intense. I like that song and was simply lost in it's effect that I thought he performed good, but speaking in terms of dance, it was an alright performance, definitely not a 30 performance. So here for me, the song did make a huge difference in terms of evaluating the act.


While in terms of Rashmi, the Alien act was one of the finest act, but their choice of song, Rakht Charit, made their act reach a greater height.


Now Talking about Isha, the angel act is another example. In terms of dance, it was flawless but not something different. But their choice of song and magical atmosphere made it look perfect and thus their perfect scores.


Personally speaking, I love how the acts are directed by keeping even minute details in mind from songs to costumes to make up to lighting. I guess, there is a reason why these choreographers go to an extend such that their act looks beyond what it actually is. And for me, "songs" make a big difference whether the act is a flop or a hit.


So do you think there are parts of an act that actually overshadows or masks the actual dance for you and do you think it is necessary on a stage like JDJ ???


P.S: I am hoping this topic won't be controversial. Keep it peaceful but interesting and no yawning 😆

it is necessary also and it is effective also... salman and isha's horror act was something outta the level of indian dance reality show ..but if not pyar tune kya kia ...another song in that genre wud not have really worked ...Same goes to their B&b act ...nd it all depends upon the skills of choreographer ...nd my salman is the bestess in it ...as kjo says..he has director's vision ...Even their butterfly act din went well ..but the choice of song was bang on ...yess prop slightly interferrd..that was the wrong choice of prop i wud say ...he shud have used wings in that case...nd i have heard this week hez doing salsa on ye zameen ruk jaye ...salsa on this song ..only he can think in that way...
Ps : im biased toward him ..and always will 😆 but i dnt think anyone will deny this fact ...from main pareshaan to b&b all his songs were bang on...
I dnt think i can blabber here about other contestants ..that wud be treated as bashing .. 😛

Hey Chandu!! Nice topic 👍🏼

According to my pov It has to be a a complete production; song, choreography, expressions, costumes, lighting, camera work, atmosphere etc. All these ingrediants must gel well to give that perfect output. If one or more of these elements are missing, the act will lack the zest at the end

A good song can go wrong with the execution if the other elements are not up to the mark. For example the song 'Maa' from Taare zameen par is a very emotional one but Darsheel and Avneet could not interpret it to the perfection due to below average choreography. At the end the act was more of a stage drama with less dancing

But having said that I'm not a big fan of props. If a dancer uses a prop in an act, he/she has to make full use of it otherwise the prop will look like a joke

@Bold
Completely agree with you. This forum is more of a battle field otherwise 😆
