Otherwise all I see overflowing in this forum are posts about how "arrogant" the season 1 contestants are and how they all suckπ...it seems this forum has transformed during season 2 and ppl only watched season 2 of DID...I personally having watched both seasons still feel there's an edge to the season 1 performers...also I don't find them to be "arrogant" like many in here deem them to be just cuz they happened to tout themselves more as a team...I like their honesty :P...and more importantly their abilities as performersπ...maybe they should have been observed more in context of season 1 to fully understand them before passing sweeping judgments on them :-)
Thanks Anuu! ππ€π
Word about this forum turning into this 'anti-season 1' forum or something. I don't even understand where this is coming from. ππ Why are people getting so hyper anyways? Aissa kya kar diya season 1 walon ne?? Beats me. ππ Well, as we know from previous forum experiences, people here on IF are always ready to jump to conclusions and think that they are experts at judging characters. π
I really think there is no kadar for genuineness anymore. I also like season 1's honesty. Plus the whole point of this show is the two teams taking digs at each other and flaunting their strengths. I see season 2 doing that too. So they must also be termed "arrogant" by that logic then. Phir toh yeh pura show hi "arrogant" hai. Why are we even having this competition again?? ππ
I wish the forum members here would just chill and not turn this into some huge moral concern worthy of discussing these guys' characters for! π All these guys are just competing and having fun! What's the big deal!
And word about season 1 having an edge not only as dancers but as performers! I think that's basically the main reason I am always drawn to these guys more. I still go back and watch DID 1 performances often. That's the impact these guys left on me. Even their whole struggle..especially Jai, Paulson and Siddesh's. Their emotions and journey from how raw they used to be until now. Just that whole experience of DID 1 left me so attached to these contestants...something DID 2 could never manage to do even though that season also had some brilliant dancers, no doubt. As you said, people really need to understand that whole context before passing judgements avin hi.

I have always wanted to see Vrush-Siddesh dance together because these 2 are amazing dancers and I've never seen them dance together in a duet. I was really looking forward to their duet in DID1 for Geeta's round but unfortunately Vrush got out that week π It was a very nice performance! There were mistakes but these 2 are good at not letting you feel like they've messed up.
I liked Jai-Bhavna's lindy hop as well. Very energetic and lovely to see..how did Jai do that flip on Bhavna? It was nicely done..
Thank you! π I am glad you could find a place to word out your thoughts. Thanks for sharing them. :)
Word about wanting to see Vrushali-Siddesh perform since DID 1. I was also really excited to see Geeta's duet with these guys but too bad Vrushali got out then. But I'm glad we got to see these guys pair up this time. In fact, I am actually loving how we are getting to see such interesting pairs and trios thanks to this show concept in general. ππΌ
About the performance, yeah I agree there were some obvious mistakes with balancing and slipping on the stage. But I just loved the personality and confidence these guys brought on stage. It just made me respect them as artists...hence this post. π
@Bold: Oh thank you!! That is EXACTLY how I feel everytime I watch Jai perform! Ki how the heck does he do these things? π I could think of the craziest, hardest possible dance move...and this guy would pull it off like it was nothing. π²π He's just too awesome for words.
I mostly enjoyed these two performances from Friday because they were such refreshing dance styles. We've seen so much of contemporary and lyrical hip-hop now. I needed a change. π
I'll reply to the rest of your post about the solo round along with Anu(nureat01)'s post. I also have the same thoughts as you guys. π

I liked this performance mostly cos of the expressions. I liked how both Siddhesh and Vrushali were looking into each other's eyes .. went with the passionate tone of the song. There were little bits in their dance where their expressions went with the song very nicely, especially Vrushali's when Siddhesh turned that door in the beginning. I liked the concept too... simple sweet and dreamy.
The only thing which I felt a little weird was that the dance steps seemed very slow in the beginning, not utilizing all the beats in the song. (I dont know if I conveyed what I wanted to say lol ) But that was only in the beginning. After that the performance went very well.
Hey Nikki. Thanks so much for posting your thoughts here. Nice to see you on the forum. :)
@ bold: Oh I see what you mean. Yeah the beginning of the song definitely wasn't fully utilized. It was a slow start definitely...I think it was kind of required also to set the mood...but yeah the choreography could've been better there. Once the actual Rumba style started, it was much better definitely. Good point.
And totally agree with you about the expressions of these guys. That's exactly why I love these two. π I thought this was one of the few duets in this show we've seen thus far...where the partners were actually looking into each other's eyes and reacting off of each other's expressions. They were truly complimenting each other in that sense. I liked the concept too and the way that door rotates in the end. Kind of gives you that feeling of whether the girl is real or a figment of the guy's imagination...goes with the lyrics of the song too. It was indeed a simple and sweet performance. :)
