There were many dance groups this season, and as expected, the judges gave very special consideration to the Bollywood dancers. The judges may think America is ready to embrace Bollywood, but for most viewers, Ishaara will be just a standard dance group with the label “Bollywood” written across it in all-caps, not much different than the way the Texas Tenors are just three mediocre singers with the word “Texas” plastered all over it for added effect.
The group’s pitfalls should already be apparent, especially if you reflect upon last year. There were many atrocities in the judges’ Top 40 last year, but none were more undeserving of their spot in the Top 40 than the Texas State Strutters, if for no reason at all than their very narrow comfort zone. The group had very few moves in their proverbial arsenal, which they blatantly and shamelessly recycled over and over again, turning just that one performance in the Top 40 alone into the longest ninety seconds of your entire life.
Ishaara’s problems are not nearly as many as the Texas State Strutters, but you have to ask: Just how much mileage do they expect to get out of that assisted flip move?
This is what will ultimately spell doom for Ishaara. Their precision and choreography is convincing enough, but once it becomes apparent that Ishaara has little to offer that America has not already seen, their support will drop right out from under them.
Ishaara may seem like a standout dance group now, but with the foreign flare set aside, they are ultimately one of the most forgettable.
Comments
If you look online, you will find videos of Ishaara's past performances, which will show you that they have more show-ready choreography than AGT will ever have time to show. Although it is not for me to say whom America will choose as the final winner, your claim that Ishaara does not have a sufficient repertoire for success is ultimately false.
