Ok my Suda suda comments on the 01/19 show..
I t-o-t-a-l-l-y love this show! It's getting better with each week.
Is any one even watching this? May be, you guys go to bed too soon b'cos this show's at 10?(at least in some parts of the World) Not really sure, but please those of you who watched, post what you think. Madhumita, I know you too love dance shows..O Sister, Where Art Thou?
First, the solo round - The cute girl from Coimbatore, Samyukta danced very well for the "Madurai Jilla machan thandi" song from Thiruvilayadal. I felt that towards the very end she didn't really finish her steps well, it appeared as if she was hurrying to go on to the next step without finishing her previous step. But on the whole, she was pretty good. She passed out right after her performance, but that was some intense dancing. She was the winner in the Solo round. In both the Prelims and Quarter finals, she chose her dance outfits quite rich with mirror and sequin works, but the style and design looked very similar. May be, in the next round we can see her dressed in a different style.
Compared to her, the boy was OK (he was dusky and also looked cute in a 'Southern' way.. he was nicknamed "Manmadhan" by his friends 'cos he's very "good" with the girls 😳 in the college). He danced for "Saroja Saaman Nikaalo" song from Chennai-28. What went against him was the choice of song (not appropriate for Folk round) and that he also had some repetitive moves. Poor thing him.. he got Malvika's heart and got kicked to Wildcard.
We saw some really intensive dancing in the Group/Team round. Wow.. these kids (probly still in their late teens) are nothing short of amazing! The reason why I like this show so much is the fact that they (at least most of them) come from middle-class ordinary families from southern part of TamilNadu (as shown before their performance) without any filmi or TV background. Yet they have some really good dance composition, moves, expressions, spirit etc., when compared to even MM-2.
In the team round, Both Amazing Dancers and Beat Meets were awesome!
Amazing Dancers had a cute girl on their team (Vidya) whose expressions were really good and the whole team danced very well for the song "Onnoda purushanaga velai pottu kodu enakku" from the movie Saravana. They got selected to go to the semi-finals. But I guess they got lucky, as the competition was really tough from the other team.
Beat Meets were also super good with their performance. From the beginning, they had been so confident that they would win the titles in the finals. They did a medley with Pokkiri pongal song and 2 other remixes. May be, this is what confused the Judges. This was kind of a new attempt as the tempo went from fast to medium to fast again. May be, the Judges are not ready for this kind of a mixed tempo. Malvika's comment for not choosing them - a couple of girls and a couple of boys didn't get the expression right. duh.. This team was quite disappointed, after their initial confidence.. paavam. Anyway, she recommended the main dancer in this team, to go solo in the next competition as his dancing and expressions were very good. I know this team lost, but I don't know why, Malvika didn't give this team her heart.. So, are they going to wild card or not? May be I missed something?!! Can some one help?
On a side note, Malvika's top was just so pretty. On this show, she seemed to have lost a few lbs and looked 'almost' slim. She wears really nice, pretty stuff for this show usually.. that's why it was a shocker to see her very ordinary dance outfit in the Malaysian dance event. Even the host Tanuja had a pretty 😳 black top on. If you've watched the show, you'd know why I put this emoticon here.
The hosts are doing ok, but sometimes get too silly.. They are almost on the verge of getting into the AnandaKannan, Supriya madness. I hope they'll stop before that 😆
