Atif Aslam was the best judge on Pepsi Battle of the Bands

Pepsi Battle of Bands roped in some of the country's best musicians, but were the chosen four just as good at judging bands on the show?

In an Images survey conducted on Facebook on September 6, the readers' favourite was Atif Aslam, who got a whopping 464 votes, with the others trailing behind. Over 700 people voted in this survey.

We also conducted an in-house assessment and reviewed all seven episodes of BoB to deliberate how the judges judged the participants. We assessed the kind of critique the panel offered; was the focus on technical aspects or stage presence or both? How each judge deliberated the bands and how they complemented each other, if at all.

Here's a look at our analysis and what we thought of Meesha, Atif, Fawad and Shahi on Pepsi Battle of the Bands.

In fourth place: Meesha Shafi

We would like to give a special shoutout to Aaroh vocalist Farooq for his contribution on the judges panel in the first two episodes.

He may have been a guest judge but he had a more technical approach towards the performances. His critique focused on the mechanics of the songs, what worked and what didn't. He also gave useful advice to the bands for future performances.

Unfortunately though, having reviewed each episode, we couldn't help but notice the lack of chemistry between the judges. While all four have been in the music industry at around the same time, there was no spark or friction amongst them that one frequently sees in reality competitions.
