If I danced for Empire, I would be pissed with this style of judging. I'm pretty sure the rubric is already set up to make sure that Empire does not place... Now you let your competitors have a vote, and we all know that Empire is the most despised bhangra team in the circuit, and it's a double whammy for them.

To look at it a different way...if there were real Bhangra judges (as in people who have danced and studied folk Bhangra), Empire wouldn't place because they don't execute traditional Bhangra in their routines. This method actually gives Empire and any other gimmick/formation-dependent teams a chance.

So you're saying that every competition that Empire has won was judged by incompetent judges? That's a lot of judges and a lot of competitions, I would love to see the names of some of the judges that have judged Empire and compare it to some of the other competitions they have judged...

Are you guys serious???

SGPD and NJ does not stand a chance against the likes of BE and VCU!

Looking at the hype about these teams on this thread I checked out their latest performance videos (idols and masti) on youtube just right now and I am sorry to say but I did not find them to be on the same level as BE or VCU.

All they got is mad energy and speed but they are all over the place, formations are messy, there is no grace and the moves are not clean, spacings are off, transitions are jerky, and at couple occasions dancers are bumping into each other.

I am no expert on Bhangra, I can't even do 1% of what these guys do, but this is just my humble opinion as a viewer. My opinion might be biased as I recently saw Heeray LIVE twice in 2 weeks and I am just amazed by the clean and graceful bhangra that they do, may be that's still fresh in my head and that's why I find these guys to be sloppy. I just wanted to express my personal opinion and Some of you guys might think that I am totally crazy and disagree with me, which is totally fine.

Bhangra Empire is the best contemporary Bhangra team in North America!

Waiting to hear how much you guys hate me lol

1love

You're right. Bhangra Empire and VCU are very clean. But I believe we have ascertained that people are stepping up their game for this competition and watching previous videos may not be a good indicator of what teams will bring.

You mention watching previous videos of these teams - if you were observant, you may have noticed a few things. VCU at Burgh used different dancers than their Boston set. There seemed to be a lot of new younger dancers in SGPD's Idols set (Thank you GTV for high resolution!) and not the usual dancers. For whatever their reason may be and whatever rumours are circulating around, it's clear that Elite 8 is a crap-shoot. Anything can happen and anything will happen.

SGPD

 

[Kartik]

there is no grace and the moves are not clean

hmm... really? sgpd and nj have no grace? especially in comparison to BE? pretty interesting comments, not really sure where you're getting this from but I guess you're entitled to your opinion haha.

 

[nitinkapoor]

I think this thread has came to a consensus that ANY team can take this comp based on the line up, uncertainty of judging, and every team bringing their A game! So I won't put my money on any team and will just wait and watch!

You are saying Empire is graceful? They are clean, but it is easier to be clean when all your moves are jerky and you "hit" them instead of having more grace.

While you have a point that Nachdi Jawani and SGPD take energy over the top a lot of times (and lack the grace a team like Heeray has) they are still much more folk than Empire.

 

[Pooja]

FOLK you.

 

[DjDhol-E]

BHANGRA POLITICS +1

 

[J Hayer]

Empire and VCU are not similar teams. not in their execution, style, or even energy.

Hence, I just cant see BOTH Empire and VCU doing well in this comp. and btw bro, while sgpd
may have a lot of energy, at times tooo much, they also have grace, even the newer guys do.
I think by next year, we'll all have a good idea of what this comps all about.

i just wonder if such powerhouse teams will wanna come back for a second year lol
