More than One is a crowd?

I was just wondering - would it not be better to have just one judge for the show, as it used to be in past srgm series? Then you dont have any fights, judges seemed to give unbiased judgements then... It seems more than one makes it a crowd more than anything else... Personal issues, favoritism, ego and all wrong things creep in...

Just one judge - would that mitigate the risk? Not sure really... All depends on what is the judgement capability of the person... Imagine having Alisha as the only judge in Indian Idol, and we know without any contest who would have been the Idol this year,.. Doesnt that thought scare you? We have already seen the judgement from single judge in srgmp, where one singer with very less or no control on sur and taal got through to the finals just because she had more fans or she appeared more confident... Imagine having just one judge in VOI, where one contestant would probably get a perfect 10 even though she was not perfect and there were others better than her on that day....

I think - the chances of getting a wrong judgement is much much higher with a single judge.. Not everyone is a Asha Bhosle or Shiv Hari... I would rather live with a combination of judges who would mitigate the risks of extreme whims and fancies and 'dil ko chhuna'... Chances are that atleast one or some of them will give a musical judgement and that increases the chances of a more sensible decision...

A panel is good. But a panel of grown-ups would be wonderful.

In my opinion, the panel should include people who can be caring but dispassionate, appreciative but critically and who have the patience to nurture and teach. Many judges have shown that quality from time to time: Alka most recently, Hariharan, Sonu in II, the other Mangeshkar sisters in an earlier SRGMP.

Who would be other good judges to have?

thanks vanajakshi, for including alka,i am in a small minority who thinks that alka is a resonably good jude..plus she is easy on the eye too 😆

yes i agree with u 😊 wat i was thinking of was that in earlier times of srgm when sonu was there, we used to have judges - they used to mark contestants on sheets given to them and no one ever fought 😕 now they have started the marking system here too, but now again the judges r more concerned about wat marks others r giving than their own... but anyhow, there never can be an end to this 😆 i wud agree that probably a panel wud be better 😊

hey even i think alka is a decent judge 😊 ...aadesh confuses me 😕 ...i wud love to see kavita krishnamurthy as a judge..
