hey everyone

okay well i'm not sure if we're gonna have designated discussion threads each week or day

if we are - i'm sorry and mods can close this and i'll understand 😃

my take on the july 22 episode:

lagi bet dance wise - i liked the girls classical performance better than the boys - and not just by one point as the judges did ...... i really thought they picked a better song to do the fusion with ...... the dhoom again one didn't sit well with me - especially since they changed after half and the girls continued the whole way through ........ also bhaktayar pointed out that the girls used their strengths ....... well i agree - but a competition is about that and secondly my problem with the boys was more along the lines with chunky ......... i just don't think these particluar classical steps worked as well with dhoom again as they did with aashiqi mein teri ......... like malaika said the girls were more sensous and with the steps they did it looked beautiful ...... but the boys on dhoom again didn't have that and maybe staying with the classical the whole time would have helped since at the beginning it was hard to tune your head to dhoom with classical steps and then just as it started to gel they switched back to western steps thus making the classical look odd ....... i think they ended up playing down what they accomplished in the first half with their second half 🤔

khallas round -it was close but i liked ashita better because i didn't like amit's beginning - the act idea wasn't bad but he was sorta off beat when he started (not sure if that was the video or if he was going for that but right when he starts to dance he's a bit off) and like malaika said he was slow and then got better whereas ashita was full on energy from start to end (not sure about the accuracy of the steps though - you'll need to get gagan or shweta's opinions since they know better) ....... and i loved that ashita was able to maintain her composure and smile even though the dupatta got stuck

or maybe i'm just biased since i'm a girl 😆

alright so that was my take - please do express your opinions about the episode and my views here

who did you like better in each round?

do you think bhaktiyar's comments were right about the girls playing up their strengths?

waiting and very excited to read your views😳

Oh Wow Tasha! very nicely put! And you are too sweet!

I agree that in the Lagi Bet section the girls were better by a whole margin rather then just 1 point. I think the point of doing a fusion is to take any song and do a whole different style of dance to it. The main hurdle or dfficult thing to do is to match up to the beat of the song with the different style dance. This is something that the girls did really well on. The boys, on the other hand, didn't keep that in mind. They were into the song and were going on beat, but their classical wasn't going on beat. Dancing to the rhythm doesn't mean dancing fast. The thing is that if I remember correctly Bakhtiyaar has done a classical dance type of thing before in Nach Baliye, but here he didn't live up to his dancing standards.

See the thing about the whole strength issue is a little debatable. I think any good dancer can do any form of dance be it classical, bhangra, hip-hop, or even ballet. I would like to bring up Vidya Balan (especially since the song she danced to has become my all time favorite). In Bhool Bhuliya she danced to Mere Dholna Sun. Firstly we all know she is a non-dancer, but wow did she pull off those bharatnatayam steps. Amazing. And that was NOT her strength. So I just think being such a great dancer it was a little shady on Bakhtiyar's part to make an excuse.

Another thing was that Malika's statement on the girls dance being more sensual....ummm seriously I don't think that was the right word to use, because the girls weren't sensual, instead they were expressive and deeply involved with the song. Both girls felt the lyrics of both the male and female. And their feelings were displayed on their face and that's what made their dance even more better!

I think Mouni and Karishma were simply brilliant!

The Khallas round...okay firstly the act for Amit was just so he could show off that he is also a singer...it just dragged the act on. I liked the leg move he did and also liked how he used a lot of props. He did the stick movement really well. A few things that were missing were his expressions and lack of dance steps. There was a lot of pointing and walking kind of thing and seriously I think he could've danced more.

Ash was great, but her steps weren't clean. Still I think she was much better than Amit, who looked a little bit too over-confident. Ash used the stage well, and man was she energetic. For bhangra the main thing is to feel the beat! The beat has to be running through your blood right from the start and that's the only way a person can perform to bhangra. Ash felt the dhol beats in her and that's why she was dayum energetic. She was more than smiling she was exhuberating her happiness and her love for bhangra. As for her dance her steps were grrrreat! So much better from the typical bhangra steps we see in some shows *cough*! At times she was fast and then slow it was just really nice choreography. I DOUBT Star One keeps the same choreographer for every show. 😆

Anyway the steps were great, but they weren't clean. They ended up being a little sloppy at times, so you couldn't see what step she actually did. Compared to the boys the girls did do better this time and I think Boys should admit that and take it sportingly. Yesterday the boys were better in their group performance, and this time the girls ruled the floor.

Sorry once I start talking about dance I never tend to stop! hehe

Lovely take on the episode Tasha!! 🤗I really like this show!

shweta 🤗

okay about the *cough* punjabi dances in other shows - i toooooooooootally agree and wanted to say that 😉

and okay i see what you mean about the word sensous ....... maybe that's not the right term for it ........ expressive is better ........... and you're totally spot on about the beats ........ i think that was what chunky was trying to elude to saying that the steps didn't match up but he wasn't getting the point across 😆

and yes i know that the act at the beginning for amit was a chance but i mean i didn't hate it - would have been nicer if it was shorter ....... and yes his expressions were not right

and honestly ashita was soooooo energetic that for me it covered up the fact that her steps weren't polished ......... you're right she felt the dhol in her ......... and honestly that's what bhangra is about for me - feeling that beat within you and dancing ........ amit was dancing on the beat whereas ashita was dancing in the beat ........ okay don't think that sentence makes sense but whatever 😆

and i love your analysis - length is not an issue since you have something with substance to say 😃

and honestly i am really liking this show too

even though i primarily watched it for ksg and i don't see the ksg i know and love yet (he's starting to get there but is still away from what i know and love) ........ the format and the talent has me hooked 😊 - so far - let's hope it stays that way 😆

Karan is pretty good on the show. Then again I am one of the few souls on, who has not watched DMG. Having seen Shweta on Remix is one of the reason I was so excited about the show. But I think they are a really nice pair to host, and they gel pretty well. They remind me of the MIni-Hussein duo in Indian Idol. Better than the old and ugly hosts like Ravi Kishen of ESBE. I apologize for the last line if it offends anyone, but that is weeks of frustration speaking.

hmmmmm .............there is no doubt tht .....gals were much better!!

malaika and chunky were overdoing it by saying tht its sos difficult ......its only a half point margin- one point margin!!

crapp!!if they think it was difficult to judge than i guess wat they will do when a serious difficult situation will arise 😆

gals were the clear winner in both the rounds!!

in the fusion ...steps were slow but still bakhtiyaar did it well ...cuz his mudras and postues were great and were as u need it in classical .....but chaitanya wasnt gud !! if u luk closely ......chaitnya's mudra's and postures were bad which actually bought down the energy leve i was shocked tht judges didnt point tht out!!

gls were definately perfect wit everthing!

in punjabi ............i dunno why they sent amit .....i think if tht kid amey had cum he wud hav done definately better and wud hav taken points wit his cuteness .........or even gaurav - manish wud hav done a better job!! his singing was too long which actually make lose intrest in the begnning ............and even later ...he was slow minus energy ....though towards the end i was like ki ab aaya yeh munda josh mein and .....at tht time the performance got over!!

ashita was brilliant ...........as sumone said her steps were not lcear but her smile and charm made up for it!!

she danced as if she is juss dancing for hrself ...not for points and no one else!! there was definately a enjoyment in her dance .........whichwas the thing tht is needed when u dance!!

energy was toh my god!! as malaika said she was liek house on fire!!

i dunno why amit said he doesent agree i guess he nneed to see his own performance ...........he juss assumed tht he did better!!

hav u guys noticed when ashita was dancin all the boys were enjpying too .........bakhtiyaar was literally dancing on his seat ....it prooves even how they enjoyed her performance!!

but i guess boys will come back next week ...i saw the precap and they all were lovely ...............so ladke haar manne waalo mein se nahi hai ......i m sure next week ..we hav great stuff stored in for us
