Disclaimer Before I continue with the news update, let me clarify one thing:

THIS BLOG IS ONLY A FAN BLOG AND WE BRING YOU ANY NEWS OR VIEWS THAT WE COME ACROSS REGARDING THE SHOW, AUDITIONS OR THE JUDGES.

WE RUN THIS BLOG OUT OF LOVE AND RESPECT ONLY FOR THE AWESOME TRIO!!!

Well friends if you are wondering why the bold warning on every audition page then we do have to print it because of the recent retarded accusation by the company on crack.

red_alert Anyway, thanks to “Sirisha” who brought to our attention the audition advertisements that are going on air in USA and Canada on Sony Channel for Boogie Woogie in Canada. These advertisements are similar to the ones that ran last year for USA. I do hope MSM is aware of its advertisements “at least” this time!!

We were able to catch up with the advertisement and got some information for the Boogie Woogie Fans in Canada. Please find it below but it is your duty to find out the authentication of these advertisements:

auditions The advertisement announces Boogie Woogie Audition in Toronto, Canada on February 21st,  Mar 7th, March 21st and for information they have asked the aspirants to contact the following:

They do have a website and the URL is: http://wehaventertainment.com

I did go on this site and looks like it is a HAV Entertainment and Sony collaborated auditions in Canada. Under “Home” page it reads:

honesty Since the time this blog came into effect, we have been writing that this is only a fan blog and has nothing to do with the OFFICIAL channel or the show – “Boogie Woogie”. I don’t think there can be any other honest way then what we have adopted for this blog.

Anytime, anyone communicated whether it was via emails or via comments, we always have guided them to Boogie Woogie’s official physical address in Mumbai and have given their official website and email id. We are a fan blog running in appreciation for the show and moreover for the judges for their unbiased judgment and the real life lessons that they teach in their own style.

This blog has no commercial value and also you will not see any silly pop ups or advertisements. We wanted to keep the blog free of any ads only so that “WE” and “FANS LIKE US” can show our appreciation and dedication for the people who we admire the most – Javed, Naved and Ravi.

We publish any news related to auditions that we see on air either in India or in US that we feel might help the aspirants of Boogie Woogie. None of the information that we bring you is fabricated or is published for any of our good. What we see, we publish that.

Recently we had uploaded third party videos and pictures and they are by no means downloaded by us as they are available over internet and on various third party hosts and communities. We have stopped embedding Boogie Woogie videos and pictures after coming to know that MSM Satellite does not give rights for publishing and hence you will not see any videos or pictures of Boogie Woogie on this site with immediate effect for all our future articles and reviews. Although BoogieWoogieIndia.Com did contact Sony prior to publishing this website to go through the web content and features that it will be dealing with and when there was no response whatsoever, this blog continued to embed videos and pictures.

lousy Anyway what came as a blast to us was when we read that MSM was ACCUSING this blog for conducting auditions in United States of America pretending to be Boogie Woogie and charging the contestants a fee of $50/-. That is the most RETARDED thing we have ever heard in our life!

reality-check There were advertisements that were broadcasted on air regarding the auditions on Sony Channel in USA for every few minutes that gave the contact numbers and regular updates and I am sure many Non Resident Indians and American Indians can vouch for it. This blog also had contacted the local organizers in USA and received audition fee details and application form via email. We DO hold the email and picture screen shots as a proof against the ghastly accusation by retarded company such as MSM. Also there was advertisement on air that had collaborated Boogie Woogie New York finals at South Sea Port in New York along with Deepawali celebrations where singer Raghav had participated. IF THIS IS CLAIMED AS A SCAM BY MSM THEN THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THEIR BROADCASTING DATES AND question their OFFICIALS in USA FROM WHERE IT ORIGINATED and they better research it right and get their facts straighten up before accusing this blog!

There are pictures of contact numbers and updates for USA Auditions that went on air and those pictures WILL NOT be removed from this blog as a precaution and proof of it being telecasted on air.

Also we think its time that the participants and aspirants who paid the fee in hope to be part of Boogie Woogie Chalo America, needs to find out what it is all about. If Sony refuses to have any connection with the contacts then how come they were advertised on their channel and why is it being denied now? People - it’s your right – get to the core of it!!

This blog will continue to run in full swing in admiration of the judge’s Ravi, Naved and Javed and also for the talent that is show cased on Boogie Woogie. We just will not have the pictures and videos. As for MSMGET WELL SOON!!

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

THIS INFORMATION WAS SHARED BY ROYAL ALBERT PALACE WHEN CONTACTED THEM FOR MORE INFORMATION ON BOOGIE WOOGIE AUDITIONS THAT HAS BEEN AIRED OVER TELEVISION. BOOGIEWOOGIEINDIA.COM IS ONLY BRINGING YOU INFORMATION THAT IT SEES ON AIR OR THAT IT HAS BEEN SHARED BY THE ADVERSTISED REPRESENTATIVES IN NORTH AMERICA. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY AUDITIONS NOR WITH ANY CHANNEL. WE ARE ONLY A FAN BLOG RUNNING PURELY AS A DEDICATION FOR R & N PRODUCTION’S "BOOGIE WOOGIE".

WE ARE KEEPING THE PICTURES ON WEBSITE OF THIS THREAD AS A PROOF THAT THE AUDITION CAMPAIGN WAS AIRED ON SONY LAST YEAR OF 2008. BOOGIEWOOGIEINDIA.COM ALSO CONTACTED THE BELOW AND GOT THE INFORMATION AND APPLICATION FORM INCLUDING THE FEE THEY CHARGED.

http://www.boogiewoogieindia.com/2008/09/boogie-woogie-usa-auditions-2008/

As America is about to finish with its auditions in different cities for Sony’s Boogie Woogie and gearing up for the national finals, we like to bring one name that has been associated with the Boogie Woogie for few years now.

Royal Albert Palace is probably the best Restaurant and Banquet Hall in North America and is definitely the best in New Jersey. Many will pledge for the food and services that you find in here. I personally had a very awesome time every time I went there. Their New Years Eve party is something I will cherish and look forward to every year.

Last time for Boogie Woogie Chalo America, Royal Albert Palace played a big role in lending its facilities in 2004 and since then it has been excitedly associated and looking forward to the next Boogie Woogie event.

1 Before I go any further, let me remind you all once again the process for Boogie Woogie America. Auditions were held in different cities in the categories 6-13 year and 14-21 year olds. The selected candidates then participated in the regional Boogie Woogie Championships and now the winners of regional competitions will be contesting in the National Boogie Woogie America to be held in November 2008 - yes that is in this month. Dates for the competitions are not confirmed yet but the final winner of the National Boogie Woogie Championship will get a chance to participate in the Mahayudh for Boogie Woogie that will be held in India.

I am TOLD that it’s not certain if the National Boogie Woogie will be telecasted on Sony or the panel of Boogie Woogie Judges will even be part of these national competitions or not but as time is approaching faster, I am hoping that it will be telecasted at least at a later date so that the world will get a chance to watch that American Desi’s too got talent and moreover Indian Americans and Non Resident Indians in America have their dreams build up for long for this show so it is only fair to be telecasted after all they are paying hefty amount as part of their fees and also are working really hard for these auditions!

Now back to Royal Albert Palace –Royal Albert Palace is located on 1050 King George Road, Fords, New Jersey. It has many banquet halls that can accommodate large numbers of attendees and also is the most popular place for many big events. It is beautifully and elegantly decorated and the staff is very friendly making your trip a memorable one.

77D_boogie_woogie_show-2 BoogieWoogieIndia.Com would like to thank “Manish” for taking out time and giving out some details to us. We also encourage all our readers and members of this site to visit Royal Albert Palace and experience their great services. We wish the very best for all their endeavors. Thank You Manish!!
