not really feeling the voice...
you guys for some reason didn't look like you were into the dance for the live part and when he music kicked in you guys picked it up a knot and got into it..

I have to say, after seeing you guys perform back in September, and watching you guys now, I am amazed! You guys have really come a long way, keep up the good work girls! I liked the traditional segment, Sidrah's voice is amazing, especialyl startign at Lathay Di Chadar, which sounded and was executed amazingly. The mix is pretty hot too! Keep it up!

you guys definately improved alot since your performance i saw at fusion royale (and that day i came to practice, lol). I agree with the others, the energy really kicks in once the music gets goin. Other than that, good job and congrats on ur placing ;D
i loved your new outfits, they look MUCH better than the last ones

first of all...congrats smd, i agree with the previous post in that you girls have progressed a lot in a short amount of time.
the choreo is good and the mix is great, but i have to agree that the energy wasn't as high as it could be for a beginning.
also the intro is a little rushed...
but it looks like this team is doing great.

woah yeah mad stuff in the live segment...sparse thatttt...interesting song selection. You guys need some red bull or like everyone needs to touch some burning coals on their feet before they go out on stage. much better than last performance i gotta say, but still needs more definition and clarity...as well as all the moves need to be crisper, sharper, and overall just need that extra boost of energy. also, beginning part, with the dhol beat before you come in with the daangs, way too long....get off stage, get back on...make it snappy.

Good performance ladies! Congrats on second place! Huge improvement from your last performance. Theres a few things that I thought i'd point out that could possibly help:
Live portion:
- I felt like your mela scene in the beginning was a bit short. The beginning of it seemed very sudden. Coulda started with the curtains opening and the dhol gir gir ra while you are all posing and in position. The stage seemed a bit empty. I think you should have had the dholi and chimta player join in and maybe stand front center, or somewhere in there to fill it up. Also, you seemed too far back on stage, which also made the scene look empty. I thought the mela scene could have had a better balance of speed. It was just constant throughout. What would have been better was if you started with a slower dhol beat, with a different boli, then lead up to the sammi boli which was much faster then end the mela. At the end of it, there was too much of a pause between the mela and your khunda segment with the dancers off stage. However I really liked the choreo to the mela though and how there were different things going on.
- At the end of the mela segment I think your props should have been positioned strategically on stage. Maybe at the back, front or sides (but visible to the audience). So that they can see that you are picking up your khunda or kato, etc.
- I liked the khunda/kato segment and choice of boliyaan for it. This segment also seemed a bit short.
- As turbo mentioned before I agree that the live seemed a bit rushed. There were a few steps of jhummar then it shifted to sial koti, mirza, dhamaal, etc. I felt that these actions should have been more spread out throughout the whole set. If you didn't cover a segment in live then you could somehow fit it into the music portion.
- I wasn't really feeling the gidha portion. It seemed a bit forced in there.
Music Portion:
- i felt that the music part wasn't as organized in terms of choreo, as the live part was. Aside from the jhummar, the rest of the choreo seemed a little bit random.
- Although the choreo was so, I still thought it was entertaining and loved the creativity. I really liked the the paaran vich chanjran move, bari kholkey was cool, etc
- I really didn't like the song selection on your last performance, but I thought you chose a strong lineup of songs this time. Very nice.
- Overall I felt like there wasn't enough movement in your formations. They were stagnant and stand-still. You had your standard box, circle, V, and X formations but I wish there had been formations with more movement.
- Also, I still wasn't feeling the live singers, but it def. sounded better than the last performance. The random heyckk (hey ahh) and bruahh seemed random and lazy.
- As for dancers, there could have been a little more energy as well as nakhra. The grace was definitely there though.
- Aside from all this, very good job and the talent is there!! Just gotta mold it eh. You're on the right track though! Good luck at the next show!

Thanks! I love the feedback and critques. 
Your live sections needs to be buried for life... You girls didnt seem into it at all, it seemed like the only reason you incorporated that into your routine was because everyone has a live section these days... The music was much better, but man, the synchronization was off... Practice practice practiceeeee.... From 3:48-4:45, the girl on the left(when watching the video) is hardly moving, that killed it for me... She seemed exhausted and this was just 4 minutes in... not good... Like every team, you have potential, but you guys need to practice a lot more... The routine was not clean at all...
