The concert was definitely the biggest letdown of ANA Convention Dallas 2005. In fact, even the DJ party on Friday night was a joke. When people are being charged $15 per person to attend a DJ event, they could've easily hired a pro DJ for the night - instead they had wannabe fantoos calling themselves DJs who didn't even know how to mix music. If any one of you reading this msg was one of the DJs in Dallas - hope you realize how bad you were and that you have no idea what it takes to be a DJ - get the freakin' crowd involved and play some continuous music. These fantoos were stopping after every song trying to decide what to play next .. what a joke! The concert night was horrible. Apart from the show starting two and half hours late, the sound system was utterly bad. We could barely hear the vocals. To add to the misery, the band called something karma from Dallas kept on playing whatever they could. It was more like a house jam for their friends who were right in front of the stage - how about the other 1000 people who had paid to attend the show? And the frontman for this band was obnoxious - his voice was mediocre and his constant dancing on the stage was irritating to say the least. I was patient enough to wait for Deepak Bajracharya - when he got on the stage, half of the crowd had already left. He finally revived the crowd and made my 25 bucks worth it. I hope this Dallas band learns from a pro like him and what it takes to be a great singer/entertainer. Also hope the ANA Executive team does a better job next time and draft guidelines for entertainment events so that the future organizers do not play around at other's expense and let amateur fools spoil the entertainment.
