Vijay TV and the Super Singer 3 judging gang tried their best last night to make Satyaprakash (wonder if he is a Malayalee) win the show but the public appears to have seen through their game and voted to give Saicharan the crown, deservingly so.
Still, the full battalion of judges and singers hired by Vijay TV tried to tilt the balance in favour of Satyaprakash by giving him a standing ovation when he finished singing yesterday. That was unwarranted as any move that could influence voting in the finals can only be construed as fraud.
Unnikrishnan, Srinivas, Sujatha, Nithyashree and almost everyone associated with judging during the earlier phases were among the culprits toeing the line of Vijay TV. The only time they showed some shame and looked embarrassed was when the contestants of their choice finished at the bottom and the two they eliminated took the first two slots.
This is not the first time that something like this has been enacted on Vijay TV. I remember it happened during the last Super Singer Junior event when the judging gang gave a standing ovation to Alka. But that time Alka was voted to the top. That goes to show the public pick the best!
Play to your Strengths, Not Fix Your Weaknesses: Pooja, Dhanyashree and Malavika came into the show as good singers but at the end of it all they started to stray from their areas of expertise.
They did so to appease the judges who made it appear that being strong at melody and classical singing was not good enough. Singing well became a sin on the show. So they ended up sacrificing their strengths and playing to the gallery. Vijay TV is doing a disservice to society with these programmes.
Commonsense dictates that you have to tap your strengths and build on them, not attempt to rectify your weaknesses. Ultimately, only your strengths make you succeed and differentiate yourself. This is gospel in the world of education, employment and art. Trying to be a jack of all trades will ensure you embrace mediocrity with no excellence in any one area.
Foreign Mediocrity: Moreover, I have consistently been against bringing foreign mediocrity into the show. But Vijay TV did just that because it had strong interests overseas, trying to market their channel/shows among NRIs. I am all for encouraging talent wherever it may be. But there has to be a distinction between talent and mediocrity.
If Vijay TV and the other Tamil channels like Sun TV want to encourage foreigners of Indian origin, let them do it the regular way and not bring them through the backdoor. Vijay TV did just that. While Indian participants had to go through intense screening competing with hundreds of thousands of top talent for a place in the show, it was just a breeze for foreigners. Getting them to compete with local talent was an insult to Indians.
Malayalee Domination: I cannot conclude this post without saying that by all indications, Vijay TV is doing all it can to promote Malayalees in their shows. I see a profusion of people from Kerala in all the shows on Vijay TV.
Sathya is any day superior to the other singers. He sings from his heart and oozes talent unlike a few that stoop to the level of politicians to request votes. True talents like Sathya will go places regardless of these realty shows and results.
1.The final judgment not from public voting it is not correct.
2. This is one of the best quality program in the world why bring some body from music industry legend to announced the winner results.
VIJAY TV IS A NICE TV BUT THEY INSULTED POOJA BY GIVING ONLY ONE LAKH and they should have given atleast 3 lakhs as given to SATYA. VIJAY TV please organize one more program and HONOUR SATYA AND POOJA by offering something to them which would convince them. Otherwise, we all will not feel good. We are not related to Satya or POOJA. But both of them deserve the honour. KINDLY DO SOMETHING. DEAR CINE MUSIC DIRECTORS please give opportunity to SATYA AND POOJA before offering a chance to anyone else from the current band. THANKS.
My post was an attack on the tactic adopted by Vijay TV and judges. It appeared to be pre-planned as they will have known from the votes polled over two weeks or so who the potential winner will be. Whether Satyaprakash should have been the winner or not is not the issue. The standing ovation was just not right, and that is the issue.
The judges and organisers are expected to be neutral when the ultimate choice has been left with the public. The best they could have done is cast their votes for Satyaprakash, not demonstrate their choice publicly.
It is really sick the way vijay tv has this super singer program now after sai Charan was given the best singer and everything. Now they call in everybody including sai Charan and praise Satyaprakash to the skies. How bad and sick is this ? This is like insulting sai Charan and I hate vijay tv for doing this. Sai Charan do not let these people take you down. You are a great singer and we all love you.
What i completely do not understand is that the voting lines are opened much before the final performances.. so obviously, the votes are cast on the basis of earlier performances. how the hell does it matter how much they scored for their final performances.
As far as my opinion goes (though it is of no importance), the channel and the judges are completely biased and selfish. They take themselves too seriously and have no idea how to conduct themselves in public. They have made a mockery out of the competition and for all it is worth, this is definitely the last time I watch super singer.
sai charan is d best singer, after 3yrs of hardwork he won d title, sai gave a superb songs wit al his determination, in finals satya was wearing ear phones while singing in finals, dis shows d picture of satya, but no judge did point out abt dat, satya cant even memorize a fullsong a finals, wen satya was given a chance 4 asking votes he said his id as ss 57 instead of ss 01, dis shows d confidence of satya, sai got 3.5lakhs votes n satya got 1.6lakhs.
Shame on u judges,y didnt u raise the issue when undeserved ajeesh got d title last yr,ravi s daamn gud tan ajeesh,sai dnt cre abt the worthles cmnts of d judges,tamilnadu s backing u,u r truely talented,u deserve d title
A good snub for the Judges who committed a crime in eliminating Saicharan and Maalavika from Finals. In doing so the public got infuriated. They deliberately gave 0.5 marks more to Sathyaprakash and edged out Saicharan.
To his credit, Saicharan gave some tunning performances in the wild card round and pre final rounds and won the hearts of Public.
Although Sathya sang very well in the finals, he got very few votes due to this stupid act of the judges.
From the episodes telecasted,it seems as if the judges cannot escape from accusations of being tilted towards Pooja and Sathya.The outbursts of Srinivas and Sujatha after finale clearly indicate how much they are angry in not getting their favourite singers through.The vast variance in marks accorded by various judges also bring out the fact their judgments are only subjective according to their whims and fancies.
1. The judges are mere puppets of Vijay TV, continuing with their nonsense. They perhaps make more money from participating in such TV shows than through their music. So they will dance to the tune of their masters.
2. If the public had poor taste, as these pathetic folks seemed to imply, they should also not forget that the best talent alone is NOT rewarded by music directors.
3. According to a newspaper report in Singapore today, someone who did not figure in the top five has already completed singing a few songs in Tamil and Telugu films. The top four have merely received offers. Merit is not the only reason why people make it to films.
4. How do these abominable, immature judges (Srinivas being the biggest culprit) know that Satya Prakash has a passion for music as they proclaimed at the post-crowning show where they had no qualms trying to trivialise the success of Saicharan? Because he did not expect any rewards from singing? Worse, they seemed to suggest that only he has this passion. Without the carrot of material benefits, no singer will have sacrificed so much to participate in the year-long contest.
5. Tamil Nadu is the most broadminded state in India. It has had Malayalees as Chief Ministers and a Marathi has been the reigining celulloid megastar for the last 20 or so years. All previous Super Singer winners have been non-Tamils. Finding fault with a public that is anything but narrow is sacrilege.
6. Vijay TV and its judges have not just been mean to the winner, they have insulted the public.
7. I wish they are made to regret their indiscretion.
After all this once again the same gp consisting of unni, sujatha and Srinivas are brought in. Let us have another panel so that an example of how Impartial a judgement has to be can be illustrated.i would like to suggest Ramesh vinayakam as one of the judges. Discerning music lovers watch the programme and any messing up leaves us irked.
The judges are biased.It is natural for the judges to be impressed by some contestants, but open campaigning for their favourites must be shunned. Srinivas especially behaves like PRO for his favourite contestants and eliminates those who are a serious threat for his favourites. We need judges who are non biased and not people like Srinivas,Sujatha, Chithra,Shubha,Unni Krishnan and so on. I was very happy when Pooja came last as the judges by their behaviour had made me hate Pooja even though she was talented. Priyanka was another candidate who was eliminated from Junior Super Singer as she posed a serious threat to Alka Ajit, I really felt for Sai Charan for the judges response after he won Super Singer. My advice to the contestants who are have the judges support is, you are not going to get any support from the public as we are disgusted seeing the way the judges openly support you and eliminate really talented people.
