APD

After watching APD's video since they just put it up...I dunno how they placed over B2B and Punjabi Beat because since it was a traditional comp. i havent seen punjabi beat yet but i bet they did a good job because of seeing their previous performances. APD dropped a stunt and furla lol ..but overall it was a solid performance but for a traditional comp i would have given this one to B2B

what you guys think?

 

[Don]

yea def B2B

 

[zagreus]

Wow...B2B i thought was better...
but damn, the APD guy at the end...totally fell and got straight back up.

 

[Sunny]

yea im with manjot on this one, B2B killed it but i think the reason why apd placed over them was because of their gimmick and stunts

 

[reggie]

those look like a couple guys from KJ on APD
i hhate that jugni APD does around 3:40'ish where they fling there arm, it looks so bad...

 

[Don]

lol gota go with reggie on this one....the jugni did look very bad

 

[KaraN]

i didnt get to see b2b because we were performing right after them....but yea apd was a little to modern for the competition

Wait what were the placings again? APD 2nd and B2B 3rd? As far that goes, I thought B2B was a lot cleaner with formations, and choreo but there was something that I really liked about APD's performance. The spin during Sat Sri Akaal at 2:07 was sick and I think it was just that the choreo was somewhat different from I've usually seen, but B2B's Boli Pani routine was sick and I loved the formation switches during that part. Good job to both teams and I think I would have to agree B2B probably should've placed over APD.

APD just reminds me of KJ because of Bruin

 

[Jap Brar]

Yeah I would go with B2B with their legit traditional moves over APD. Also, APD isnt even holding the khundes straight. maybe at like 1.10.

1st - HPD
2nd - 3D
3rd - APD
and B2B didn't place

b2b was better but i liked their showdown video better. liked the choreo more and the dancers had more energy. did the dancers change for giant? the guys looked better at showdown. but overall, wish would bring something new to the table when it comes to moves and be more memorable.

but def a team to look out for.

This raises the question what were judges looking for. From a bhangra standpoint, I think B2B has this in the bag. Clean performance with all the segments (even Sialkoti, not that many co-ed teams do it). I liked the Kato segment.

However, I would give APD credit for an entertaining routine. The KJ style is very evident but their moves don't look out dated or anything, rather very creative and fun to watch. I like the spinning jump @ 2:10. Props to the guy who fell in the end and stood up like nothing ever happened! Frankly, I could see APD possibly placing over B2B only if the judging sheet heavily emphasized entertainment value.

 

[Harman]

waleed the judging rubric was leaning more towards the traditional side.......the judge was apparently an ex ggn dancer......thats all we were told

 

[Cherag]

APD just reminds me of KJ because of Bruin

I agree APD does look a lot like they have KJ's formation styles and the moves are a great resemblance also.

 

[Gurvir]

I think B2B just killed it out there and apd was a bit sloppy in their moves and they messed up the stunt. B2B got robbed

 

[Harman]

shot out 2 jason and the b2b crew yall were sick......

 

[Danny]

Any feedback or comments to help us improve in the near future will be appreciated =]

thanks

I think you guys were good, you just need to clean up the moves and while you guys have good energy, some of the moves could look more graceful like especially with the jugni. Besides that, most of the formations were there but they could've been a little bit cleaner. Also, another thing is that I would usually stay away from the whole one side staying still, while the other side does a move. It's a nice idea but I feel like it's just been overused. Like, the part during Ek Akh, you could've had both sides doing the moves instead of one side staying still. I did like the part during Sat Sri Akaal where you guys did that one side standing still/etc. but besides that part I think you should try and stay away from that in the future.

could just be me but B2B's vardiya are sick!
