VIDEO REQUEST: NYU PANDAEMONIUM AKD

[abhigames]

Thanks peeps! I'm sorry you guys didn't get to see the video, but I'm happy to share the video with you guys on a private level. We just don't want our video up because of our other upcoming competitions.

I think a lot of what you guys are saying is true and needs to be worked on. This was the first competition of the year, so we're still working out the kinks. We probably should've spent more time as well lol...we made this 4 days before the show. Unfortunately, we'd love to do slower bhangra and jhoomar and all, but its just not something the fusion competitions appreciate as much.

I do appreciate all the harsh critique even from BTF, because nobody on the fusion side can really provide any concrete advice for our bhangra, just as perhaps some of you may be unable to provide concrete advice on the hip hop side. I guess if you guys saw the intro video as well, the entire set would make a lot more sense.

Criticism eh?
First of all, your doing BHANGRA, never get on the stage without covering your head. Respect. I understand some teams have problems tying Paggris, but at least wear a bandanna or something to cover your head. That's all right now.

just curious...why?

Yo to be real though Abhi....fuck anything we say. Your bhangra is so far and above anything else on the fusion circuit that I'm not sure there's a whole lot of room to change it up unless you committ. I mean do an SGPD style slow but powerful jhummar. But you have to commit and push and get it done right and get everyone on point.

Otherwise it's not worth the effort cause people (and judges) will just be like wtf was that. You would have to impress them on purely aesthetic or athletic metric since they have no idea what to look for from a skillset standpoint.

Maybe just reevaluate pace of the dance, like I know this was early but it was same stuff....bhangra then hiphop then switch again then everyone doing bhangra. Lots of pant pulling, etc. That's memorable first time, but tedious 3-4 times in a dance.

Single ladies was amazing.

Whatever the fuck you guys do, dont become traditional... if people were bored with your recent performance, you can bet your life they will be bored as fuck again... just do your thing man, iv been a pandemonium fan for a while...

Pooja is there a reason you're so unsupportive of NYU teams? It's kind of embarassing that you're so negative toward your alma mater. Forreal, be supportive and maybe people on NYU teams will be supportive of you.

Really?

Also, Pandas and their fans need to read BTF rules and regulations. Unless these posts are part of the NYU humor that I and some other posters simply dont understand.

unnecessary. Pooja has seen Panda many times over the years, I saw her post as saying that it's the same formula over and over again, not that NYU Panda sucks and she hopes they fail...

To my AEG Brotha's that are hating on the Pandemonium bhangra style and performance. I saw your performance in Albany. From what I remember, the only reason you guys placed was because everyone else wasn't that good. Your performance was about half as clean as Pandamonium's. If you even think you have a chance at winning at Boston, you might want to work on fixing up your own dance first.

The AEG comment was also unnecessary man. Three AEG posted. One said they saw 'VCU daang swing'. One asked for a vid repost, and one agreed with someone elses comments that the bhangra should be more traditional....these are not negative comments. You not only insulted AEG for no reason, but just shat on the other teams at Albany who have nothing to do with this thread

You want to criticize those you see as negative? Please drink your own kool-aid first.

 

[phillyphan1234]

Lol are u kidding me? This looks like a BS gig for a random club at NYU. If you wanna show me performances, show me LEGIT COMPETITIONS WHEN IT ACTUALLY COUNTS

 

[Ashveer]

If you're trying to build a name for yourself, you don't let this happen.
People respect VCU for example, because their B-team brings A-game. This is a rehash of a routine and its not clean.

 

[abhigames]

If theres gonna be all this hateration going on in here coming from all sides, can we at least change the name of thread so that Pandemonium gets more google hits. lollll

To my AEG Brotha's that are hating on the Pandemonium bhangra style and performance. I saw your performance in Albany. From what I remember, the only reason you guys placed was because everyone else was just as sloppy or messed up a lot. Your performance was about as clean as Pandamonium's. If you even think you have a chance at winning at Boston Bhangra, you might want to work on fixing up your own dance first before trashing others that aren't even in the same category as yours.

Another first post about us!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

oh yaaaa... and who's trashing who?

 

[phillyphan1234]

And no Pooja was there during the beginning of NYU Pandemonium and unfortunately has no idea what went on after she left or what the 08-09 team brought. And if you think fusion teams reinvent themselves then thats completely false. UPENN Dhamaka, prolly the top Panda rival, uses the same rival over and over again. ITS ABOUT FREAKING ENTERTAINMENT AND teams continue to do that so people need to stop talking about a realm they clearly DO NOT UNDERSTAND. It's important to know that we all are just speculating on the performance of the team and Abhi or anyone on the team is either not on the forum or has not said anything. So let's not criticize the team but rather the people on this thread. We've seen it many times before, it's not fair, and unless someone on Pandemonium said something, which they wouldnt judging by what has been historically said by the team, then let's not unfairly criticize the team.

and idc what anyone says.. AEG is fire..

I'm gunna reverse course here... that was horrible...I dont even know what else to say, that performance had FAIL written all over it... I saw pandemonium in 05-06 and they were clean, they had this one dude who was obviously the best dancer on the team and he was sick, but man, this performance was sad...

 

[Vick]

It's funny how the dude was bashing AEG and telling them what to do to win at Boston... Boston is a two team competition for 1st, Empire and VCU... Everyone else is competing for 2nd and 3rd...

Yo Saleem Wattup =) , there should be a limit on how much a team gets trashed.... just saying... SEE YOU ALL IN BOSTON!!!!!

 

[Ashveer]

Phillyphan,
A friendly suggestion if you're going to keep posting on BTF.
Calm down. Think. Then write.

AEG AEG AEG AEG !!!!

Thank you for the wonderful constructive criticism. It definitely fuels the boys up even more. I blame the lack of AEG trashing the few days before the competition for their uncleanliness on stage

Andddddddd back to panda boys....

You guys did amazing last year. This was a little sloppy, but you have good ideas in there. Work on it, its just the beginning of the season, get your guys on the same level and KILL it
