How can you judge anything except from your own life experience,  which colors your own perception of what  is good or what is bad ?  What should or should not be ?  Through the prism of my life experience, that both expands and contracts my world view at the same time, is how I see the world.<br \/>\nTough to be fair. I try to react to everything emotionally. I try and give myself to the act and allow being entertained. I try to look at it from the performers point of view. I look for the performer&#8217;s passion beyond the technical expertise. I look to see if the performance has soul.  But what do you do when your own sense of aesthetics is completely different from the performance ? Knowing there is a completely different set of aesthetics inherent in that  performance.  I often then look to my co judges to see if they tune to that aesthetic and take my cues from them.<br \/>\nOf course there are performances that have no aesthetic at all. I believe most of those performers know that when they are performing, and if they don&#8217;t then they should be told that firmly !  I am sure the channel sets them up for us, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vishal asked &#8220;saw you on television &#8230;&#8230;just thinking &#8216;at what point of time in a person&#8217;s career or in learning cycle &#8230;.a person gets confident enough to judge others?&#8217; Never is the answer to that one Vishal, as there is a very thin line between judgment and prejudice.
