Amazing!!!! One of the cleanest performances done by our boys!! This video is almost nothing compared to watching it live! Soo proud of ABC and to the other teams, you guys did really good as well!!

I can definitely see how this performance got 1st place. It had a lot of energy, a good amount of small gimmicks and was clean (especially considering this was not a slow set). It also seems to be a set that lends itself to winning the crowd over, so that is something we can't really see from a low quality video.

My only problem is I do not see a unique style here. There were a lot of moments where I was reminded of Nachdi Jawani and SGPD from previous years. I am not saying you guys stole ideas or anything, but I could easily believe this was a Toronto teams for entire segments. This is more of a general issue I have with the circuit right now, but I would like to see teams create their own style and not put their spin on previous ideas.

^ disagreed with the toronto style thing. ABC has had a good amount of consistency in their styles and the feels that they go for over the years, which has always been similar to the toronto style movement (imho).


THIS WAS AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE! without commenting on the placings themselves, to the people who i've heard say this "wasn't that good"... you're insane. Creativity 10/10... the spinning wheel at hte end?! SICKNESS.

Its this simple...at any other competition, where sgpd and NJ were not present, this would have no question been a first place performance. BECAUSE NJ AND SGPD WERE THERE, and they are the teams with the most blind-faith fans of all time, we question the integrity of this performance.

HATS OFF, ABC. Fuck the placings and what you may or may not have deserved in everyone's opinoin. This was a quality, winning, entertaining bhangra performance.

Honestly, I am not at all familiar with ABC, so I had no expectations watching this video. I just felt the routine was heavily influenced by Toronto, which if unfortunate because I think they have their were flashes of unique ideas which were overshadowed by the general Toronto feel.

there is something to be said about the good old fashioned fun nature of this set...while it lacked the bells and whistles of the nj/sgpd mind fuck, it also lent itself to the everyday crowd, the average bhangra fan. It was the smartest set I have ever seen. ABC is the real deal.

+ The crowd was behind them the whole way standing up and just dancing ! They obviously had a good song selection too, seeing as people were singing along and not just jumping up in the crowd ahaaha

First of all the outfits are sick. Majority of the people wondering how ABC beat Toronto teams like SGPD and NJ aren't aware of the Bhangra Idols rubric. One of the most trickiest categories in my opinion would be stunts - ABC always has creative stunts, kothe te speaker, very creative. Im glad you guys brought that back! ABC, you guys were pretty traditional compared to other teams at Bhangra Idols 2011.

I would also like to add that I dont agree with people when they say you guys dance like a T-dot team =S I've seen you guys perform since Idols 2008 and you guys have been progressing in your very own style.

Honestly speaking thanks for keeping it more real then other teams cause i'm kind of sick of all the modifying bhangra and adding hip-hop into the sets. If people are going to add all this new stuff into bhangra then we all might as well join a hip hop team.

You guys deserved the placing :) Congrats!

TO BTFers: This is my honest opinion. Dont get mad at me=$ haha
