Elite 8 predictions

[gdholi7]

to the organizers - please consider the battle/dance-off idea for the mixer - it's a legend that's just WAITING to unfold! every dancer is creative and "clownish" in their own way. imagine a "phumania-off" to a song like Tailka. the possibilities are endless!!! the fact of the matter is that there are going to be just too many great dancers in one place at this competition, it would be a shame if we didn't take advantage of that. this is the kind of stuff i'd love to show my grandkids one day!

teams judging each other= fists flying everywhere at the after party and continue on to the hotel lobby

dance off= just adding more heat to teams to stir a fight

best way to have a fun mixer keep it simple - pick your number enjoy dinner dance go back to the hotel nd rest up for the comp

NOPE.

if all the judging sheets are going to be posted, theres always a chance captains will be EXTRA lenient haha.
imagine if theres a tie cuz ppl are bein too nice haha.

but legitly, this is going to be good- its going to make folks respect the arts, as well as hopefully force teams to look at
the positives of another team, rather than just find drawbacks and excuses for wins...

NOPE.

You're being overly optimistic dude. You might trust your peers to be fair, but seeing what many of us have seen in the circuit, (yourself included) I'm doubtful.

From what I have seen no one from teams have actually gotten in fights. There is a lot of posturing as if they are going to fight but it never goes down.

The funny thing is you have at least 3 of these elite 8 teams that are some of the main culprits of the stupidity you see at these competitions.

UHH oHHHHH lol

honestly its gonna come down to shelving an ego and having a good time. dno what else to say bout this.

 

[Nikhil]

Ashveer, yes you're right we've all been subjected to situations that are less than friendly, to put it mildly. But honestly, it's a freaking dance competition. Most of us come from families who have raised us properly, and hell, the majority of participants are pretty sheltered from hard street life, where violence is a daily thing. There won't be any fighting.

I honestly think this thread is making things even more intense (worse), and will provoke some "stupid" teams to start some stuff (IF anything even happens). Otherwise, I don't think any of these 8 teams want to make themselves look REALLY stupid at such a high caliber competition where they have been given the invitation and privilege to perform among elite teams. Im sure everyone will be on their best behavior.

I have less faith in them. I have seen teams on this list openly challenge committee organizers to fights, vandalize/destroy property after losing, threaten/provoke teams backstage and act like general a-holes to every other team.

Will they actually fight? I doubt it. But just because this is the "Elite" of the bhangra world doesn't mean they will suddenly develop some humility and respect overnight- especially when they behaved in a classless way to some of the most respected people in the bhangra community.

Definitely agreed, I realize that I miscommunicated, I am not so optimistic about the judging being fair. Given the hype of the competition, I doubt violence will ensue (pre, during, post comp), and if it does it will be stopped before it really can begin in the first place.

This.

If there is any fighting at all, it will likely be more of this quality than anything else.
