I disagree with a lot of your points, silverwing1527. This is just a discussion, so don't take it personally. But you claimed that the judges in your certain competitions took into account the groups' experience, hard work, etc rather than just the dance itself. Well lemme tell you, that's not the norm.. in today's world, one has to claw their way up, with grit and determination, whether you have training or not. In any kind of competition, its the better man that wins. Hands down! When you take an exam at school/college, and youtryreally hard to get an A, but you keep getting a "C" or a "B". The teacher, despite knowing how hard you worked for your exams and how much you've improved since the start of the year, would she be able to raise your grades to give you that "A"? No she can't. Likewise, as good of a dancer as Mona is, she should be judged on her abilities, not on how much work she has done, or how far she has come. Shveta is the better dancer.. whether she is trained or not. First of all, just because she dances so well, doesn't mean she is a true professional. I have some friends who are absolutely amazing dancers, but have had no training whatsoever and have been dancing for many years as a hobby. So there is a difference between what one calls, a "trained dancer" and a "natural dancer." Mona is good too.. actually, i'd say she's great.. i really enjoy her dances (as much as I enjoyed Mahesh's). But I enjoy Shveta's a lot more, just based on her dance, expressions, her overall performances. Since this is a contest, nothing else but the performances matter. I'll tell you one thing.. I barely watch soaps.. I never watched Jassi (unless my mom-in-law turned on the TV during dinner). I had never seen Shveta in any shows, so I have no bias whatsoever. I don't care about who is popular. I only watch the dances. On top of that, I don't like to base my opinions on gossip either (like Toby ran off, or Shveta is a trained dancer, or Shveta is a snob, etc), because you don't know how true or false they are. Most actors/actresses lie about their ages, so to raise the publics' sensitivity towards them, wouldn't they create a little hype about themselves in the media? Which is why, I try not to pay attention to all of those little articles of gossip and just form my own opinions based on the performances on that stage.
Wow.... i was struggling with words to express myself and you put it across in very few but perfect words 👏 👏 .... Specially 'A' 'B' 'C' grade analogy 👏 .... great job...
