I think the result was fair. I see many people say it was biased etc. I agree Arya was good, but so was Kartiki. Only edge Kartiki had over Arya was her voice which is unique. Prathmesh is a class act, and great classical singer in making and was second best. Cute little doll Mugdha was very very sweet, but she is so small and at the end she sounded bit tired; May be because competition dragged too long. Rohit is good entertainer. I think lets respect judges as they are expert in their field and not insult them by saying they were biased.

I saw the ‘marathon’ last Sunday. Decency demands that the best of all songs should be broadcast for everyone to enjoy. But not for little Mugdha, the youngest of all. They had to show the one where she faltered. Was that necessary? Whoever thought of it should have cared for the little monitor’s feelings. Remember she lasted the whole six months and they had to show the one song which was not her best.

Suppose that all judges gave each one 100% marks. That leaves us with the Great Indian rope trick called SMS. You can have a robot punching the same code a million times or you can have as many idiots to punch the number for you. That is democracy!
A great show all said and done.

The SRGMP result is a completely commercial one. It is Masses vs Classes.What sells today gets preference. More people will be interested in listening to Kobadi Palai.. rather than Shoora Mi Vandile. Kajarare will be in demand compared to any Lata classic.

The life has become fast and hence people prefer fast paced songs.. who cares about perfection.. So.. kartiki and Rohit fit in that module. Kartiki won coz of SMSs.. more sms from masses while Arya / Prathamesh et al got less sms from the classes..

Simple.. thats India of Today and Tomorrow.. it is simple supply / demand equation..

Though it can not be ruled out that the other lil champs knew beforehand about possibility of Kartiki’s win.. as none of them were surprised.. and were cool (should I say indifferent?) towards the result..

I guess nothing to do with caste or anything..it is just commercial…so be it..

The worst decision of zee marathi saregamap that kartiki wons little champs. Prathamesh & Arya were the best. & if kartiki wons then why not Mugdha she is also best than Kartiki. I think results is managed. Je khare Shrote aahet tyanchya bhavnanshi khelu nako asa mediala molacha salla aahe.

The worst decision taken by Zee Marathi that kartiki is winner of little champs. Arya & prathmesh is the best and capable for “Udyacha Aawaz” advertisement. & if kartiki wons saregamap why not Mugdha she is also best from kartiki.

The results are definitely not satisfactory. As per my opinion, it was only Prathamesh who deserved to win it.I don’t think it is essential to mention his qualities. If one has followed the entire composition, he is the only candidate who never received any advise for his ‘misical sense’ from anyone. I think this itdelf was his greatest achievement, he has completely acquired the ‘sur’ and its needless to say that it needs a high perseverence and dedication. Leveling him with the non-classical singers is really very improper. However any new so called music composers may deny classical music is the base of music. Performance is not at all a part of being ‘surel’. So if the channel claims that it is a competition of singing, there is no other winner than Prathamesh.
It enormously pains me to see the entire classical music community insulted by this type of results. Its not a competition for audition of TV channel performers, its ‘music’, I hope people soon realize that the channel is simply promoting the people who can work for the small screen.
Finally wish to say that may God give Prathamesh enough wisdom to know the level of the so called musical taste of public including many of the judges . Wish himm all the best and tons of success in his further life. I am sure it is only Prathamesh whom all will see in future as an independent and potential ‘music perfomer’.
Keep going great Prathamesh, such you have a much much bright future.More-ever you are and you will enjoy the highest quality of divine pleasure from your own singing which is far far ahead than the success of such competitions.
Lots of luck and lots of love!!

The songs may be technically perfect, but if the words are not touching the heart they are not ‘real’.
It feels mechanically perfect and that anand is ‘puna: pratyacha’ anand.

Anand of originality is different.

This reality show, of all the reality shows, is close to reality and far away from artificial reality. (By the way there is a good article on reality show, on back page of Jan ’09 of Kaalnirnay:-)

Those who are whining are not close to reality and in the artificial world, away from the fabric of the real society and have become dry.(they think, they are better in politics than music, actually they are not good even in politics, otherwise they could have got their candidates ahead, so in politics also they are loosers, God help them grow)

Let please stop this ugly nonsense. Why we are doing this things is beyond my imagination. Or is it “Marathi Vruti” to pull some one down.

Just forgot everything and remembe what happiness all these paricipent gave us. It was memorable. For me it does not matter who won and who loss. Even participent may have not worring for that. For all five are marvels and we should apritiate Avadhut and Vishali to find that..

How much did the idea cellular earn with the SMS voting? That is the crux of the matter. It is all about money, honey! May we know how the judges voted? All said and done, it was a great show.
Lil champs, may you all continue to conquer us with your voice.

now i think i should change my surname and them participate in compitition
hey hemant,but didnt get u abt the brahmin non brahmin part,
i am bad in getting caste by surname but from ur previous posts i think prathmesh was brahmin so what abt others???
caste did matter in this program atleast from the results.and the kosambi,bhaisne made,gaikwad selection says all.
waiting for govt decision abt champs coz when harshwardhan patil came he said “govt dakhal gheil”they wont to anything.

hey hemant u have any pics of the arya’s mirvanuk in pune.pls upload if u have

and yes missing our best critic fanfare never saw him after finales

if you see the reactions of the judges and pallavi, they were completely artificial.
I would not like to comment on how kartiki sung through her journey in SRGMP little champs, but still Aarya or prathamesh deserved the crown.

There is clearly a pressure form govt regarding selection of Kartiki.

I think we should have a “no vote” policy in the comming elections.
I really would not like to cast a vote to such party that is playing with peoples sentiments.
Uproot this caste system.. without that India doesn’t stand a chance in this new world.

By: ND

ND — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:13:25 +0000

hi All,

we should also consider one possibility that their might be a lot of pressure on Zee Marathi from this incumbent Govt, regarding selecting someone from backward community.
This Govt can do anything to gobble up vote banks. really take my word for granted. This whole caste system should be scrapped.
Only Merit counts and nothing else.

Mr Jalaram, Thanks. Very Balanced outstanding comments….Miles ahead critisizm.

And lastly – all you people attacking Kartiki’s victory – you are trying to count stars while the Sun is out – perhaps you are not able to stare directly at the Sun (Kartiki’s victory), and are desperately trying to view 49 other stars blanked out by her brightness.

On February 10th 11:02 PM, jalaram said:
The only contestant whose songs I can remember are Kartiki’s. All others sounded like familiar singers. Only Kartiki was able deliver new and unknown songs and make me hum them constantly. So – the decision was basically correct – ring out the old and ring in the new !

On February 10th 11:02 PM, jalaram said:
So many people are upset with Kartiki becoming the winner. I cannot understand that. Is it because her style is folksy and scholarly? The scholars of music should remember that music comes from people to scholars, not the other way around. Music is a natural human talent, not a learned one. Those who criticize Kartiki’s victory have simply forgotten this simple fact, and are blinded by a scholarly perspective of music.

On February 10th 11:02 PM, jalaram said:
Indians need to get inspired by Kartiki for bravely being original and innovative. For long, Indians have got stuck with the mentality of copying others. That is India’s biggest weakness. We think book knowledge is the most superior. And we have lost the will to innovate. In Kartiki, I see a determination to innovate without fear. For that alone she deserved the prize. Learn from little Kartiki !

On February 10th 11:02 PM, jalaram said:
All the contestants were good. However, 49 of them were trying to be as good as someone else (like other famous singers). Only Kartiki was brave enough to be herself and sing in her own style. For that alone, she deserved the prize. And she did so successfully that I cannot get her performances out of my mind. I am 40 years old and live far away from India, yet I am humming her songs again and again.

On February 10th 11:02 PM, jalaram said:
Kartiki won based purely on her talent – not on any other basis. Remember Devaki Pandit’s comment on her singing – she said she has a unique voice and she advised Kartiki not to copy anyone’s voice. That is the point where it was clear Kartiki was the winner. No matter how much I try, I can’t help listening to Kartiki’s performances again and again. Sure, the others were technically superior – but that is not the only criteria – the most important thing that decides a good singer is not music education – because music comes from the heart, not books. Really Zee should be congratulated that they discovered a gem from the soil inspite of knowing that many people would oppose this decision. Kartiki is the best – no doubt about it for me!

It is very disappointing to link this to castism.
The show was great, it had every one hooked for the past 6 months. Children were brilliant.
Though they were competing, it was a healthy one.

More than the children themselves, parents are volatile when it comes to a competition and their children loosing (we have seen this in Hindi Sa Re Ga Ma Pa for children). It did not happen here. Most importantly, there was no drama, camera entering contestants homes and showing the poverty and tears which makes the viewers uneasy…

So in all, the past 6 months was a treat for us. We all enjoyed, why would we want to muddy such beauiful feelings now….

Yes, Kartiki is the Best cause she sang the song which you never heard and after listening it you are also singing that song. The song which is popular that nayone can sing who knows music. But the songs which are composed by her father as sung by her was awaysome. That makes difference……..

The five lil champs could have been given prizes under different categories. Each one, without doubt is talented and superb in performance. But where PL excelled in classical, Rahul in combo style; others were more all rounders. To render so many songs to perfection is a hard task in itself at such a young age. The champs are in an age group where they all need appreciation and support.
They are all winners- of our hearts. Best of luck to ALL OF THEM.

I am a Gujarati not knowing much of Marathi language. I understand only music and I have never watched any music programme with such avidity (except Anweshaa’s SVOICU)

I was not at all surprised that Kartiki won the contest.
She has a better mastery over sur, Taal and is best at both lower notes and higher notes. She has both rustic and sexy qualities to her gifted voice which is very rare. I think she is going to be another Asha tai’s clone.

All the talk of Brahmi/Non Brahmin does not cut ice with me. Kartiki deserved the crown as much as any other contestant. The public was more with her than the others and that is the end of it.
Jana Gamya is what she is and none can take away the crediyt from her.
Arya would be a great singer and so would be Rohit and Prathamesh.
So take it easy folks.

I do not agree- KArtiki and Prthamesh were the only deserved champs- ofcourse- all were different and best amongst anyone else in the competition- Prathamest and Kartiki had CLEAR and CORRECT notes always- never missed any higher and lower notes- Prathamesh was a little less on Popularity front- but Im sure- he’s never going to turn back after this great break- the guy has DIVINE VOICE- and so does Kartiki- her voice touches SOUL- divine- just divine- and I never felt that in any of Arya’s performances- although she is many times perfect in notes- I also do not like her voice quality frankly!
Mugdha is a sweetheart and needs more polishing and development- Barrier AGE only!
Rohit needs to work hard- but has that ability too- even his voice quality is not as good as kartiki and Prathamesh..
Prathamesh and Kartiki are the best- UNDOUBTEDLY- and there is no caste creed race religion to SUR- MUSIC- please dont manipulate little children by youer dirty thoughts-

Ther was not even any competition amongst them- they were singing for thier happiness- and thats what needs to be sought– PEOPLE KEEP AWAY-
