Boston Bhangra - Looking for Judges

[Apna_Virsa]

I've been a Judge since December 24, 1988.

You've also been a moron since then.

STFU.

i'm having a proper laughing induced seizure right now.

Faizan: it only matters if the team is doing a boli/sher as part of their performance. If they want to present it, it should be judged and critiqued as hard as the dancing

I guess, but if I was a judge I would not decrease points for shitty pronunciation. A good faith effort to do a sher is fine by me. It's a dance competition not a linguistics competition. As long as delivery is smooth enough and the person does not forget...it's not an issue to me. I commend teams for trying on the sher, but dancing should still get strict scrutiny. I understand it is part of the overall package, but to take points off because someone is not pronouncing right seems too orthodox. We used to have joey zuniga do our sher, if someone took points off for his pronounciation, i would think they were fools.

I'm not a language Nazi, but everyone puts fourth a good effort to have good outfits, good choreo, be in synch, etc. Some do it better than others, and that's how we compete. I don't see why the language of bhangra should be any different.
