Question:Why is Sarbjit Cheema a judge in the competition when his son's competing in the actual competition?

^ this guy is stalling..

The committee isn't stalling and had already addressed this issue publicly in this topic (where Harjot originally brought it up):
http://bhangrateamsforum.com/discuss/post-mixes-and-video-links/american-bhangra-championship-2014-watch-all-promos-and-behind-the-scenes/msg233692/#msg233692

If you're not satisfied with the response or would like more specific details, feel free to PM or email the competition directly. Let's not constantly beat a dead horse though.

Hope this helps,

This is far from beating a dead horse. Its a matter of people spending endless hours at practice and missing school along with family issues to possibly be undermined by an individuals father being a judge.


Now from what I read about Harjot asking you what measures would be taken to ensure no breach of interest would happen, your committee said that they would post something that would be done to make sure nothing of that matter happens.


Even after I posted this you guys still haven't posted anything. Either the committee is regretting its decision on the judge it chose or you guys legitimately have nothing set up to prevent there being bias in the judging.


I have been dancing for way too long and seen this tread of judges biasing their decisions all the time... why do you think bhangra in the west coast (especially BC) has fallen off so hard. Theres no fair judging left.

 

[Pendu]

Next year try maybe keeping a straight camera view so people can take In formations and the overall performance the way the judges see them. The camera shifting around to different views on tv is distracting in my opinion.

 

[jatt22nature]

And do try to not show the judges during the performances.
Though I must agree, the constantly changing camera angle is somewhat annoying

Well done to SIAC on the first place!
Also a shout out to DCMPAA, VIRSA & Taare for an amazing battle. It was great meeting you guys, hope to see you guys soon in the future!

The committee was extremely rude and only cared about their gay ass show. The bhangra teams were treated as if we were their puppets and were only spoken to when it was time for their live broadcast. None of the committee members knew nothing about bhangra so they shouldn't be hosting a bhangra competition. They also didn't pay for our rooms for our last night which we were told that would be covered. When we tried contacting them, we got no answer or any attempt of them trying to get a hold of us. This competition was all HYPE.

 

[faizan]

Id be shocked if abc actually paid the winning teams, shocked.

 

[hardeep_singh]

commercial entities tend to ruin the spirit of bhangra
i am disappoint jus, but not surprised

am i the only one who thinks punjabi satellite channels are just mostly crap?

 

[Yankee Saini]

yaar, teams tan pher vi door di gall aa, jaggi bai layi nee kuch bacheya huna, kyun ki saare $$$ tan inha neh Dharmender nu bulaaun layi laa ditte.

aah jaggi te oh buddiyan de telephone answer karn wali, vaahle e lassi jahe bandhe aa, especially jaggi. Patandar da aap e gall karke hassi jaaoo, hadh hogi.

But anyways, gall jehi nee bani eh show/comp di. Janta saali avein e bootha chakk ke competition karaun lagg paindi aa. Jeh slaah nahi laini kise seyaane toh tan at least don't have senior judges and Cheema bhaji to judge such a comp. These judges deserves better!

Culture nu bachaauna da tan pata nee, par je aeho jahe shows hunde rahe tan bhangra jroor bachauna pai jauna. lol

Ps. Hope you guys do pay the winning team about 5-7k. If I'm not wrong, I think that's about right amount that was promised.

Isn't it funny the last two comps that Virsa has took a part of like burgh and abc (both comps desvered first or second) has not got what they desvere because of a judge affiliated with Anakh-E-Gabroo. "There is no beef or rivalry" they said, in my eyes it's clearly proven there's still beef. Just saying.... A random thought in my head, anyways congrats to the placing teams :-\

 

[Karn25]

When will the videos be up on YouTube??

 

[harkeerat24]

I hope everyone knows Apna Bhangra Crew has nothing to do with American Bhangra Championship lololol

 

[KironMizanur]

LOOOOOOL! I was thinking exactly the same...
Hope it doesnt affect the general alphabet either

who judged ABC who was affiliated w AEG?

And to think that 1 judge had everything to do with a team not "getting what they deserved" is pretty strong. There were 4 other judges at burgh. If they "deserved" to place 1st or 2nd, what happened with the other 4?

I'm coming at you, because according to your previous posts, you're either affiliated with Virsa and lying about being a "free agent", or you have a massive boner for them. Which means you're being bias towards them. Don't hide behind your keyboard. It's too easy to call out. Use the keyboard to your advantage:

Bring some constructive feedback/thoughts as to why they deserved 1st or 2nd. Not, "this was sick. deserved to place" <-- that means nothing. Look at the rubrics and then think about why they didn't place. Then think about what the other teams did. And then give a full explanation as to why they should have placed if you still believe they should have.

Hey buddy,

I am the judge at Bhangra In The Burgh 2014 who I believe that you are referring to. There may have been disagreements between members of AEG and Virsa in the past (or maybe still current? I haven't been active on AEG for bit now and my Black Fridays are consummated in Boston these days), but personally, I do not share those sentiments or else I would not have staked my personal reputation nor felt comfortable in judging as a completely unbiased entity. I did have the opportunity to have a good discussion with a few of the Virsa boys at the afterparty to offer a bit of my insight as a judge. None of the judges at Burgh disagreed that Virsa brought a great set to Burgh and it would have been in contention for placing had the dancing been more consistent and synchronized throughout the performance. Personally, I am a fan of the style/power that Virsa brings on stage and novelty in choreography.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions!

 

[bhangraholic01]

Aww you so cute eh... First of all, I do get a boner from teams that do proper bhangra. First learn how to properly dress up then dance. Btw the AEG baba who danced at Bruin and MCB was a judge at ABC. At Burgh, not only one but three of the judges were affiliated with AEG ("ex dancers"). First do your research then talk.
