This was an incredibly beautiful and fascinating performance.I don't know anything about Hindu dancing but this performance was my catalyst for research.India is a very beautiful country with a remarkable history and culture.BRAVO wonderful mesmerising. dancing.

The South African judge appears to be a bit insecure about himself. So by putting down all the dancers, he makes himself feel good. He really out to try wearing less makeup. :)

Brother India, little Brother Java says Hello Next in your next border war with the yellow horde- we will stand shoulder to shoulder to guard the Bharatiya that genius land that gifted us Buddhism, Hindusism and Islam.

Subhas Chandra Bose and Jawaharlal Nehru were revered as Heroes in Indonesia.

Majulah Bharatiya Raya wijaya! Sang Sri I Gusti Guru ng asmara sing Negeri lan Bangsa Jawa!

Indian dance is FAR superior to the Chinese Kung-fu Mu-Shu shit.

Chinese culture is all flash and bang.

N substance, quality nor aesthetic sensibility.

Crappy, cloned, crass, and gaudy.

Indonesian Javanese and Balinese dance should be represented instead of that pathetic little Convict Island of troglodytes and inbred pick-pockets.

I really dont think any two culture could actually compete. Every culture is unique in its own sense and I agree one cant judge classical dance unless they know what it really means.

[shreelak9]

she should think twice before entering a competition... she needs to be judged by ppl worthy of her talents... these sob's know next to nothing...

sorry they know NOTHING

[dpinvogue]

That is the problem with the judging process - In another upload you hear the Australian judge say that she is learning so much about Indian dance. She knew close to nothing and yet she judged the dance?

Clearly they need to find more knowledgeable judges who have seen not just performances of Kathak and Bharatanatyam but also of Odissi, Kuchipudi or Mohini Attam to know the stylistic differences.

You know I stopped watching bec I thought the judges really had no clue what the fuck they were talking about. They should have done this show like Amer Idol & let the ppl choose the favorites. The guy from Africa was full of shit. I think the show was nice that it featured dances from all over the world but really the judging method was nonsense. Indian dance has subtle eye movements, flow/ precision movements that others don't understand, its also about balance/coodination!

atlst we dont go red in da sun........ u fuckas r PIGMENTICALLY CHALLENGED ASSHOLES XD!HAHAAHHHHA UGLY!!! go kiss ur ass [:*]

[alps112001]

hmm, lets ask these judges to do this dance for once. They will fall into pieces or will be too rigid to do this. its easy to shake ya booty for a freaking metallica thingy but move like this and you will know, but alas, westerners dont know how to move gracefully rest alone understanding the intricate movements of classical dances. Mera Bharat mahaan.
