Boogie Woogie India

Boogie Woogie has just finished with their auditions in selected cities and towns. Many has been able to go for the much awaited auditions for Kids Championships especially after the long wait.

There are still many contestants who complaint about not being able to register over the phone and when they went for the auditions, they were denied. But this is our take – what we think that makes Boogie Woogie auditions different from others is their acceptance of auditions via mail. Boogie Woogie accepts DVD/ VCD’s of performance auditions by mail and so those who missed going for the face to face auditions should still be able to send their auditions via mail. And anyway, those who went for face to face auditions, they were only being taped and were sent back. All the videos then are viewed later by Boogie Woogie out of which the best of the best performers are selected and called upon to participate in the main show. None of the results were given on the spot.

So friends, don’t loose heart – you have nothing that has gone out of hand. If you have missed your auditions or were away from the cities that had auditions in, just send in your best of best performance VCD/ DVD to R & N TV Productions. You will find their address in auditions page and as well as in auditions category.

But here are our two cents – we seriously think there should not have been any old rules for the auditions especially when the show is making a come back. Loyalty in viewers does plays a big part but then it does come with its cons. While the wait especially the disappearance without any prior announcement or the unanswered zillion questions regarding the disappearance can also make the loyal viewers question their own adoration they have for the show. Customer service is the KEY word in all successes and one must inform the whereabouts especially if they want their viewers to wait and welcome them at later stage even if they do think its none of anybody’s business (Heck no! It is very much the viewers business.) Communications always make things better. And why not, one must know what your viewers and fans want or talk about. Ignorance should not be a bliss!

We feel strongly that the auditions and the craze for “BOOGIE WOOGIE AUDITIONS” should be shown to the world in an larger then life manner. Why adopt a low profile audition system when the contestants / dancers of the same Boogie Woogie has become the pride of other shows??? The show must come back with all the GLITTER possible and hype about its prestigious auditions. We seriously think, its high time that Boogie Woogie mends its rules and pay attention to its key viewers and communicate better instead of following the same old rotten rules of MSM. Big names don’t necessarily make a super hit show but they can always ruin the future of their already reputed show by their attitude and ignorance. As long as someone is in the market, they do need to pay attention to what public demands or else then they have nothing to look forward in future. We already have seen the fate of Yash Raj produced shows for Sony. They were disastrous. Big names big companies can never sell a product based on their names – the only thing that sells with the ultimate viewership the “PUBLIC” is its content and the attitude in their communications.

But nevertheless the comeback of the show by all means SHOULD BE thunderous!! As we hold our breath one more time to see what Boogie Woogie has to offer, we hope and do pray for the best for the show! Go Boogie Woogie Go! Chak De Phatte!!

Boogie Woogie Fans are use to seeing quality dances, quality judgment and quality choreographers. After all 13 years plus is not a joke! Since the time Boogie Woogie got replaced with another dance show that is not even worth mentioning, weekends just turned out to be plain boring for us fans!

Boogie Woogie is a show that never demarcated India between its regions for its TRP sake nor the judges choose their own regional dancers as final winners putting the other regions down . As far as any Boogie Woogie fan remembers, they have always been fair in their judgment irrespective of any region, caste, creed or language. The most amazing thing that India witnessed in its history was participants coming from its remote villages to show case their talent and they were not only judged with the same equal eye as rest of the participants that came from major metropolitan cities but were appreciated as well for the talent that they possessed. Boogie Woogie always saw something good in all its participants and made sure to shine that aspect in front of the world giving them maximum limelight. No one tried to cut the throat of one another to jump the ladder of success and hence the result is such that we see Boogie Woogie dancers in other channel dance shows making it a bumper hit.

But unfortunately if one switches on to Sony during same Boogie Woogie slot, what they see is, “good for nothing” biased choreographers playing the dirty survival game by cutting each others throat and praising their own stupid judgment. If these are the present breed of choreographers then I really wish they had stayed behind the camera and never brought their ugly themselves in front of the world! The things that were respected on Boogie Woogie show have all been replaced by things that cannot be viewed by family audience . This reminds me of an old quote: “you scream and tell I am good, and it sounds I am good to others even when its the worse - the only thing is that the people who heard such words were deaf”. I really don’t have to expand this quote any further as its self explanatory.

When Boogie Woogie took its break, I really was expecting a show to stand at par with Boogie Woogie standards in terms of quality talent and judgment but it is a shame to see a show that is nothing of that sort but a big FLOP! It is one ill composed and mentally ill show that does more harm in growth of the nation then any good.

As far as Boogie Woogie fans are concerned, we are eagerly waiting for Boogie Woogie to come back. And I hope it happens real soon!! We miss you Boogie Woogie!!

Yes you heard it right! Original Boogie Woogie’s “Prince Dance Group” of Orissa shines like the brightest star outside of MSM/Sony Territory. Recently the group took part in “India got Talent” on Colors Channel and have managed to make everybody their fan. Prince Dance Group repeated the same performances that they did in Boogie Woogie since 2006 - 2009 and gained great applauds and instant stardom.

One can search for “Prince Dance Group” online and the search returns back with 95,500 plus searches – its more searches that is found for any Bollywood star or superstar. You will find million to dozen forums and chat houses discussing their performances and applauding them as they saw them for the first time. It is not surprising to see many emails that comes to ones inbox with links of Prince Dance Group videos from friends all over the world with Colors TV logo on it. Its gets pretty amazing to see people sending the video clips from countries and cities where “Colors Channel” is not even available. How and why? If Prince Dance Group first appeared on Sony TV and that too with the exact costumes, make up and performances then how come that it gained maximum popularity and stardom from Colors TV? Except for Sony viewers, rest of the viewers saw them for the first time when India Got Talent got launched. Now I am going to come back to the same rotten topic that I have been discussing for over a year – Videos!!!

The common thinking is that any channel’s TRP is due to their viewership. Based on the TRP, a channel gains its popularity and also fetches its awards if any but most importantly it gains its sponsors which is the key source of a channels income. The more the advertisements and sponsors for their shows, the more the profits. And companies do not sponsor a show or spend millions on advertisement if the viewership is poor. But a channel is entirely responsible for making any shows viewership either poor or rock solid. The way they present, market and make themselves available gets them their popularity. Let me cut the crap and talk about Colors and their super hit show called India Got Talent!!

India Got Talent did not had as much TRP or popularity as it got after the show was aired. Boogie Woogie’s one of the finest talented performers called “Prince Dance Group” got all the necessary applauds and praises for the channel. Their performed videos hit every space and nook like wild flowers. People not only loved what they saw but also felt proud in appraising and forwarding the same to all that were listed in their mailing list. One question that comes to Boogie Woogie fans mind is how come Colors channel did not track those videos and deleted them just like Sony does? Well for only one simple reason and that is because they are smart!! The result of their smartness should be visible next season with high returns and maximum TRP and as well as Popularity and should fetch them high yielding sponsorships where as the performances that were given by the same group on Sony are biting dust in Sony studios waiting their chance for a rerun. They say right “ones stupid decision can cause someone else all their success”.

Well cutting the crap, let me come back to my another point. Long time ago, if you go through the archive, you will see that I had mentioned Boogie Woogie’s best find and Prince Dance Group was definitely in my few selected list. I so very wanted to put their awesome performance video on this fan blog for a very long time but due to crazy copyrights by Sony, could not publish the third party videos but they say right if you want something bad then you will find a way and so thanks to the plenty of emails that I got from friends with the video clips, I am able to fulfill one of my dream – a dream to put Prince Dance Group videos on this blog!

Enjoy the two fabulous videos of Prince Dance Group along with this article. Please remember that these two videos are the exact same performances that were presented on Boogie Woogie stage

Sayonara Friends!!
