I watch the epis online, so i watched taiyari jeet ki first, i was looking forward to the epi, because soumita said it is something that never happened on the Indian Television, and i am quite disappointed aftr i am done watching it.

Never happened on Indian television? !!! I wish they stop promoting their acts like that, abahs and ankan also said the same about their robot act, that was once but this is one time too many, the maker guys really need to remember people out there watching are not that stupid and most of them follow more than one show. Coming back to shoumita,
the same song with the same theme and the use of red dupatta, has been done atleast twice before, and once in 2010 on star plus show zara nachke dikha itself where Vaibhavi was the judge. the costume was same and the topic and acting were also same. this dance was almost a ditto copy of the one that sangeeta ghosh had done in znd, hers was also a kathak based one, and this one was too.
and both of them are copied from, where else but DID, from krutis performance, infact a move, where soumita sits crouching and looking at the camera was an exact copy of the moves by kruti. Getting "inspired2 is nothing new on Indian TV, or everywhere in Indian entertainment, but atleast please donot brag that its something no one has ever seen before.

having said that,m her performace was high on emotional quotient, very low on energy and steps. this song needed strong movements, and high energy to match the emotions, which unfortunately were not there.

to those interested, here is the original performace by kruti on DID
it starts on first video, at 2:50 second approximately and goes on to the second one.

PS: they really need to speficy what are the dance forms people r attempting , instead leaving it hanging.

I agree. It's kinda unfair of saying such performances have never happened on TV before, highly appreciating aerials specifically. We've definitely seen better performances than these by other contestants of different shows before not like this show has got something extra ordinary. I was amazed to see the very first episode where these top 13 had group performances and all and they were all brilliant, somehow making us believe this show would be giving is something different. Only to realize now it's all repetition.

I so agree with u,Shoumitha's performance was nothing new,dnt know why they keep and saying that u have never seen something like this before when these things have been done so many times on other shows and also why is it when the contestants have an emotional sob story attached to their performance they are the ones who are considered the top ones for the week.Can't anything be without sob stories and high voltage drama...gets so cheesy and annoying at tmes...

yup i too was thinking the same...shomita was good and i respect her as a performer but to be honest, her laaga chunri mein daag didnt touch me like Kruthi's performance...i still remember i had tears after watching kruthi's act...this one didnt have the same effect

yes shivani thats what happened, and this time it was sangeeta ghosh's rip off, with a touch of kruti, man, and soumita being a dancer wasn't even that good, i think the old sangeeta did a better job on it.
she was low on energy, repetitive steps, just chakkar and not enough connection
as for getting inspired, its nothing new, the world only has so much original ideas, but atleast dont brag , give it some personal touch, instead of outright copying and do it a little better

kruti created a level, it is difficult to reach it, i dont expect that from other persons, coz each of them is unique. but atleast bring some originality in it, stale emotions and sob story can get u only that far, i honestly am disappointed with jd so far, the dancers either are not up to the mark or the choreographers are not bringing out the best.


Last bit: are they not going to show the choreographers at all? i feel it is unjust. and are they not going to speicfy the dance forms being used?

I so agree.. There was no need to make statements like these contestants and judges are making.. Sure, shoumita was really good, but it wasn't original.. From the song to the dupatta to the expressions everything was copied A good copy, sure but still a copy.. Same goes for swarali.. She was really, really good.. but compared to aieral acts I have seen before, she was nothing.. Okay, she didn't use harness etc, but others havn't either and attempted stuff much more difficult then she did.. Anyone remembers Sushant's act from JDJ?

I agree to your point! yes she might have been good, but why do judges need to exaggerate sayin this has neva happened before.. they all should knw esp vaibhavi. this makes me feel tht all shows are always scripted , and judges are jus katputlis dancing on the wants of the channels!
the first day performances of 13 contestants were jus so good tht i thought JD will be unique and choreography jus astonished me! later on, standard jus kept going down.. now i hope it doesnt stay the same! i have high hopes from this show!

Sushant's (and Shampa)JDJ ariel act was out of this world...absoulte piece of brillance,Soumita's performance was overrated in my honest opnion,and i think either karan p or karan k should have been in the top 3 instead of her. as soon as i saw the starting i was like ive seen this twice before,I hope choreographers come up with orginality and not copy off other shows.

I agree with u too that Karan K and Karan P should have been in the top 3 intstead of Shoumita and yes ...her performance was overrated.

I feel that Karan P and Karan k didn't fully get the applaud they deserved yesterday...yes they got good comments but nothing extroadinary...
