Yea, Empire took it because of their stunts/gimmicky stuff. VCU didn't come with a brand new routine but were still very good. Anyone could've been able to tell that Empire would have taken it at VIBC, but given a different comp and judging panel, it coulda gone either way. Just as everyone predicted, it would depend on whether the judges wanted traditional bhangra or gimmicks/entertainment.
I personally think I would have gone with DRP over United. United had a lot of mishaps including 1 turla that almost came out (2-piece pagh), 3-4 turla becoming unpinned, phuman flying, and an outstretched sahp being dropped by a dancer. Also, I didn't feel that United was as good as United can be. The sarangi player should have been given a mic, as it was difficult to hear at times over the singing/screaming of fans. DRP was very clean as usual and I don't think that United's performance was good enough to make up for the mishaps. But VIBC and United - who knows?
The placings were very accurate with the predictions here on BTF where it was pretty much a consensus that it would be between VCU, Empire, DRP, United. I think VIBC has the worst way of selecting a line-up and I really want to know how they do it. Not to be biased, but being in Vancouver, VIBC has a lot of local talent and selecting only 1 Canadian team was weird. VIBC has their own way of selecting a line-up and I would personally love to hear what VIBC looks for. I'm not trying to bash on VIBC, but we know that certain comps look for more traditional or modern teams (i hate using those words), and recently a competition came on here and explained their method of choosing a line-up (can't remember which one but something along the lines of 2 top-tier teams and a let's give others a chance philosophy).
