well for ur info in saregamapa Sameer is pne of the judge and he is also a lyricist, Perhaps u don know that most of the times lyrics are written based on a tune and sometime they give music based on lyrics so its both ways, if a lyricist wont understand the music then he/ she cant be a good lyricist
also let me tell u that faraha khan (u talked about her in ur post) was a judge in indian idol.
Dude For your Info Sameer had judjed earlier in SRGMP during its normal course... currently the judjes for their Challenge 2005 series are the likes of Pt Shivkumar Sharma, Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia..
about the knowledge of music for lyricist, i dont deny that, and nor did i advocate having likes of faraha khan in the jury.. my point is simply because they are from music industry they do not qualify as best judges... where are the legendary music directors, am sure they would have done lot better job..
