Raj, Kya title hai? Partial judges to unfair hi honge na😆.
I concur with you. Judges are supposed to judge a competition with no bias. They should voice their opinion on mediocrity and encourage contestants to do better instead of wasting their time in catfights and putting contestants down for no reason and bringing up vendetta and regional bias.
😆😆😆@ your highlighted observation...😆
Let's take a flip view of this coin. Imagine yourself living with 6 contestants from a varied background, some of them coming from very telling backgrounds (Harshit as an example). How in the world do you imagine yourself not getting bonded with such individuals? How in the world do you fulfill the promise that you make to those individuals during those training sessions? Do you recall Jatin/Lalit/AS/HR/ID saying this on countless occasion "Mai Maa Kasam/Allah Kasam khake kehta hoon ki mai tujhe star banaunga"? How do they keep their promises if they do not blatantly take sides?
I know that on surface it sounds pretty ugly partial but there is a Human Emotion attached here and they are only doing their best to help the singers. To me, there is nothing wrong marketing the singers from their gharana. Showing down other singers is not something I subscribe to. I like Bhappi-Da from that perspective. He tom-toms singers from his gharana but never undermines other singers (as far as I recall).😛..For that matter he hardly says more than "toom accha gaaaya lekin improovemaint ka aaoor chaance haye"😆😆
