It's been a bit of a disappointment, to be honest, no offence meant to anyone, but it's also had its wow moments. And I thought today was one such, with Karan Khanna and Sushant Singh Rajput's act on Kaminey. Didn't see a topic on it, so I thought I'd make one. They were brilliant, both of them. Sushant, for me, was the best celebrity partner tonight, and I think he more than matched Karan at every step. And Karan, Contemporary being his forte, was great as always.
There's only one little issue I had, though. The concept was a lift off from an act on So You Think You Can Dance 7, a Contemporary routine by Travis Wall. And I'm afraid some steps were from there too. I know this isn't the first time something like this is happening, plenty of dance reality shows have lifted concepts, I just wish they'd also give the credit where it is due. A major share of the beauty of that piece was in its conceptualisation, as a choreographer's personal expression of a friendship lost, and I would have liked it if someone had given some credit to the original, especially when the conceptualisation and story were being applauded.Tonight's piece was different too, though, in its own way. It had quite a few original points as well, and most importantly of all, I thought it was executed to perfection, pretty much. I also liked the switch they made between Black and White: where in the SYTYCD version the Black was the backstabber, Harshall-Vitthal decided to quirk the stereotype and make the White backstab instead. Nicely done. And the ending was fabulous, although the first half of that step is from the original, they used it to round off the act to form a full circle really well.What do you guys think? 😊P.S. For those who may be interested, here's a video of the original SYTYCD routine :Cheers!
