Reality shows - Dreams, Drama & English.

With a large number of reality shows up on list, one gets to hear a few words often. Every channel you change to shows someone (of course talented one) who is "mind-blowing".
Mind-blowing, mind-blowing and more mind-blowing. (!)

Secondly, though the comments given can by stereotyped. I found "this" amusing or should I say appalling?
Some xyz judging a dance would invariably say -
"Nice song selection. Energy levels were good initially.. but towards the end sudden drop in energy levels. Why? (camera zooms the paavam faces of contestants) . Anywayss on the whole your performance was flawless."

Flawless. gasps. Flawless? I mean, wasn't a drop in the energy level a flaw? Or may be the meaning of flawless is having "less flaws"?
I don't know that. Same applies to words like impeccable, improvisation(Alas! improvisation has nothing to do with improvement) and so forth.

Stance #3. Tears are a way of communication, considering them a language, I write : The person who hasn't fared well would (should!) cry. No matter what. After all if they fail to cry, they are provoked until they do.

I'd follow their way and say: "Too much of Drama, senti-bunti sobbers, attitude. On the whole fantastic!"

Being true on the inside I shouldn't forget to mention, cut all the crap and you really find some superbly talented people and most definitely a good platform(like never before) to showcase talent.
So why not "Fantastic"? ;)
