Yesterday’s Zee Marathi Saregamapa Little Champs results were a complete disaster. I was expecting Kartiki Gaikwad and Sagar Phadake would be out of the context based on their performance in current episode. Kartiki was just like any singer in a train. She did not show any of her previous capabilities in this episode. Sagar on the other had sang OK. But I have started hating his attitude. He is just too overconfident compared to what his singing talent is. He is a performer by definitely not a good singer. His song selection was poor. He was out of tune and was complete lack-luster. I can understand Sanchita Garge did not do much well either. But the other poor girl, Rageshri Vairagkar was no way a contestant to go out.
This show is a contest and if someone does not perform well on a particular day, he/she should be out. Judges should not look into their past performances. In this show we are constantly observing that for someone who is obviously singing bad, is getting good marks because they are in the good books of the judges. My observation about Mangesh Borgaonkar’s sister in last regular contest was that she was sometimes jacked up in the contest because of her background. Finally somewhere the common sense prevailed and she did not go very far. But it seems that history is repeating. I believe, the only way to prevent this is not to allow the judges to see the rehearsals and not allow them to mingle with the participants much. This would ensure that the contest is fair and is based on the current performance.
Have you heard Kartiki’s Krishne vedhili???
I agree u in Rageshwari’s case. Sagar Fadke shoud go out. But, Kartiki is definitely a good singer.
Hi Hemant,
I understand your involvement in the programme, but “I have started hating his attitude” is still a harsh line for a boy like Sagar. Secondly, most of the times, the song selection is made by the channel, so it is unfair to pick on the participants for song selection. They are children and let us not judge them like we judge adults. Every word we utter and write about them has to be EXTREMELY responsible. Already, this competition is taking a toll on their childhood. I was responsible for getting all these children on the screen, and I know for a fact that each child has a unique gift. As regards the prejudice of judges, I feel that we are all a little prejudiced, but I feel that Avadhoot & Vaishali are doing a fine job. I can assure you that judging this event is not as simple as it seems… especially when children are concerned. Thanks, Hemant, for the opportunity to post on your blog. I read it often and must say that I do enjoy reading your posts.
I was moved by the episode which was tribute to martyrs in Mumbai terror attack.
My salutes to the brave martyers.
regards
I wish everyone very good LUCK.
