An article I came across http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jan/03/india-rape-violence-culture with a good summarizing excerpt: Also it talks about (Yo! Yo!) Honey Singh (yo yo? really? ugh) and his cancelled concert after an uproar against some of his lyrics...

Haha this is better than the original WHITE MAN IMITATES INDIAN - PUNJABI SONG! Though the Ben K boliyan is still dearest to my heart (he asked I take it off YouTube a few years ago, sigh) and he actually used punjabi words

I think TBT did a lot to introduce live/folk/whatever you wish to call it into the scene in 2005 and 2006, but I don't think they'd necessarily clean up in 2012-3. The expectations across the board are higher than they were. TBT did a great job, especially in their first live performances, to...

Very interesting vibe! This is not an easy song to showcase vocal talent, but Ricky did it while balancing with the instruments. Congrats to all involved, Ricky, Raashi, Waleed, Sheru, etc

Often times there are 4 teams that are very close in score and perceived rank. What if the fourth complains that they were left out of this deliberation? What if, due to the caliber/nature of the participating teams, there are 5 "top" teams vying for the 3 placings. I've definitely had it happen...

Just a friendly Public Service Announcement: Many teams post their dancers' full names by jodi with the video, which is great: it gives the dancers recognition. However, please clear this with your dancers first. BTF is indexed by Google and, often, a BTF page will be within someone's top 10...

Taking Faizan's last paragraph further-- the night before a competition is not the time to clarify what is being judged. Choreo and practice is all done. As I've lobbied for in the past, judges should be actively involved in designing the rubric. If that's what I have to judge off of, I want to...

I have only cursory knowledge of Operation Bluestar, 1984, or Bhindrawale, so please just inform me. Govind got several responses saying "i cant believe you'd say that!" but no details on similarities or differences. Is there a legitimate basis for comparison? Speaking generally, not about Sikh...

Great topic thanks for starting it. I agree completely, and like Arjun,hope for a BTF renaissance! BTF will always be there for what the community wants to make of it, but I'd be much happier if the constructive criticism flourished

@Sue what about tape? Tape is not visible to audience members so it doesn't take away from the show, and it's still visible to dancers. Even seated in the balcony, you don't really notice tape X's anywhere as much as you'd notice cones.

@Ajay My point is mainly that the cones look very out of place. There is a certain element of too much babying when you have 7 markers across the stage, too, which I find to be even more distracting. Props are less noticeable than cones (unless you think back at the end-- "hey they never used...

I've noticed in the past few years more teams are setting cones up at mid-stage, quarters, eigths, and ends of the stage -- basically all over. I understand the use of these cones during practice to help a team nail its formations, but are they appropriate during a stage performance? Here's an...

didnt answer b/c I couldnt speak to that question lol. enjoy your time in evanston though

The most random post on BTF.. You'd need 3.5 years at a minimum when you enter school. 4 is a healthier minimum. As for what you specialize in, that would vary completely based on what you want to do.
