- SRK 😆 😆 😆😆😆 Fun as usual...add mads to the list of actresses who blush with him around.. I wonder how many of you watch How I met your mother.. but this is real HIMYM..you ask how?.. the most famous thing abt that serial , the most awaited thing abt that serial.. the thing that keeps it going is the non existent character of the 'Mother' and yet the crux of the series... similarly.. the most famous thing about bollywood.. Gauri Khan.. non existent in the industry.. but crux of the 'jaan' of the industry ( ask the heroines..not your opinion 😛) aka SRK.. 😆😆😆
- KJO: Acting.. lol.. that was funny..
- Today's episode was best JDJ episode in terms of off dancing entertainment..😆
Scoreboard:
Lauren: 29 ( bollywood/Brodaway)
Sid: 24 ( I am guessing freestyle 😉)
Shaan: 27 ( Paso Doble/ Fresstyle)
Drasti: 30 ( Acrobatia/Contemprory)
KVB: 25 ( Garba/ Bharatnatyam)
kids: ( I'm guessing salsa mixed with freestyle 😆)
My Scoring:
Parameter: Theme, Dance, Expressions/ Ambience
Scores: 1=below expectation, 2=meet expectation, 3= beat expectation, 4= outstanding..
FYI purpose of clearly defined categories is to reduce biasness.. 😃
Performance:
1. Lauren:
- I louvvved it!
- Theme: 2 ( it was a 2/2.5 maybe for giving the BG dancers a character of their own.. but then the dance was so freaking awesome that i so badly want to give them a 4), dance: 5/4 ( outstanding), emotions/expressions: 5/4) = 12/12 😃..
- It was brilliant.. it had dance, it was pure entertainment.. 😳
- And ya kudos puneet.. you did look so ugly..
- a comic performance without cheap thrills.. 👏
- Just to add.. in my entire lifetime.. till date.. only actor/actress that I have ever genuinely liked is Sridevi.. and I didn't mind the comparison at all.. I am sure I am one of the biggest fans of Sri.. and I also want to say.. Lauren matched her in the expressions department.. 👏
- And, DD i have seen her giving only seductive looks in all her performances.. ( bro-sis.. there were no expressions..so can't count that).. and I loved that.. but I think lauren has shown versatility.. would love to see more from DD...
2. Sid:
- Dance kahan tha Bhai!!!!
- I stand here, I stand there.. Sonia should have made the walk a Jazz walk atleast.. then I could have said.. innovation was in the fact..that they did 1 step in 10,000 different ways..
- Given Sid, he must have put in efforts..
- Theme: 1 ( usual stuff.. BG dancers were BG dancers only.. 😆.. nthg special), 2 ( because its Sid.. its met for the sincerity), 2 ( ok, i would rather give 1.5) = 5/12
- Sonia's thingy for SRK looked genuine.. the reason I am saying this is cauz DD's looked totaly fake...unlike her;s on Ranbir Kapoor's day.. Stupid colors... why are they doing this.. Ruining these wonderful actor's image too.. with these cheap thrills..
3. Shaan:
- What i just loved was the theme - vampires Vs werewolves
- Execution- ok
- Paso doble is about the Kill.. so you always have two opposite things..
- In this dance.. what i missed was the DNA of the dance form.. those postures were missing..that feel of the matador was missing in marisha's performance..
- I repeat.. absolutely loved the concept..execution .. so-so..
- Since I always compare similar performances... compared to DD's and Salman's act .. their was more strong .. in terms of dance technicality ( I am in no way saying they were good..because if I remember it right.. he contemprorized that performance too 😡 .. and their concept was the oft repeated.. but still compared to Shaan..DD was better)
- Theme: 2 ( for creativity.. use of dancers was ok.. nthg special.. they were just BG dancers..), dance: 2 ( for attempting it.. and i might be biased towards innovating with a new concept), ambience: 2.5 ( it was nice.. not overwhelming.. but nice) = 6.5/12
4. DD:
- A lengthy one because read a lot abt her today 😆.. and sort of tried to answer various view points..
- For those who think it was not a dance: Dance is defined as a rhythmic non verbal communication accompanied with movement.. So I can very well jump from one step to another .. but if it is in a rhythm.. if it is an expression .. it is a dance.. HENCE, what DD did was definitely a dance..
- Now, the label said acrobatia.. I repeat my point that I said after Shaan's performance on the Wheel prop theme.. he deserved the marks since .. they justified their dance form.. whether as an audience u prefer one dance form over another is pointless.. they said they were performing X.. and they performed X.. so similarly.. Salman wanted to do acrobatia.. and he did acrobatia..
- Now coming to the dance.. so the label said.. Acrobatia + comtemprory.. and they failed as far as the dancing goes.. failed not in the sense that they were technically wrong.. but they failed in doing justice to the dance forms on a dancing competition platform.. contemprory was hardly there.. and acrobatia as a dance form was not brought out fully..however, I commend DD for doing the flips.. well executed.. but that's the only thing..
- Where they do score however.. is the conceptualization... and they score it big time.. so coming back to my definition of dance.. they succeeded..in putting up a performance.. a grand performance.. but they were mediocre in dancing..( primarily because of choreography, better than Sid)..
- I am calling them mediocre taking into account their prop.. bamboo.. using the prop .. I consider part of choreography/ conceptualization.. so I give them marks in that segment.. but dancing.. no!
- Marks: theme: 2.5 ( BG were better used than others.. the bamboo movement was not 100% controlled by the BG dancers and hence not giving a 3), Dancing: 2 ( It is met.. only for DD's flips.. 👏.. else 'dancing' choreography was a let down.. if composer says its X and Y forms then I expect to see X and Y forms.. and that was missing)...Expressions/Ambience ( this one is totally for salman and not for DD because we have been seeing DD with the exact same expression for weeks now.. so my marks all for salman) 4/4 ( it was beautiful undoubtedly) = 8.5/12
- Why i give him 4/4 for the 3rd parameter: ..3 for succeeding in memerizing the audience.. withe song/ setting/ prop.. .. in his other performances this season.. I am watching it, enjoying it but not so engrossed.. but today i honestly was looking at every thing... and 1 extra for letting DD go..😆.. for once.. she was not holding onto salman..
- BUT I come back to my point.. the woman did flips.. so plz salman.. can u give me 1 pure dance waala performance.. without you controlling her.. 😡
- ( and hence I have parameters to judge)
- whether they did deserve 30.. 😆.. have i taken note of what they score whom ever.. 😉
5. KVB:
- The fact that she mixed garba and bhartnatyam i loved it!!!!.. Indian dances don;t get their due..
- It was grand..i loved the performance for the Indianess..plus Sneha totally succeeded in creating the ambience for the performance
- Dance: What i hate is when people do classical and mess it up and then call it semi classical.. psotures/ mudra - KVB in bhartnatyam was all wrong ( the entire piece on song from Kisna)...but KVB not doing it is not my problem.. choreographer also not doing justice to it.. is my problem.. 😡..
- But then.. neither of them is a classical dancer ( kathak is very diff from the dances from the south.. so don't compare)...
- But to me this was the only dance ( including lauren's).. where DANCING happened..
- I honestly enjoyed it as an overall performance..
- Score: theme - 2.5 ( they used their BG effectively in a theatrical setting), dance: 3 ( for the grace to two beautiful danceforms and for the fact that there was a lot of dancing in the choreography unlike others and their chalu performances.. and I mean everyone minus lauren).. setting - 3 ( absolutely succeeded in setting the tone of the performance) = 8.5/12
- Agree with Judge's comments that softness was missing..that kisna requires..( which is surprising since KVB knows kathak 😕)
6. Kids
- Ok performance..
- 2,2,2 = 6/12
- I really like sumant though
7.Aarti:
- Have nothing to say..can they start performing some other dance form.. 😕
- Why can't she get rid of her "how much I have worked, take a look" expression
- Theme: 2, dance: 1 ( i am bored of watching her doing same stuff each week), expressions : 2.5 ( it was sweet..more credit to the song.. half the work is done by the song alone.. but will give it to the white curtains for setting the ambience rt)
Faceoff:
Didn't see Shweta's.. so can't say.. Aarti was usual contemporary.. ok..again a good song selection 😆
