After watching ALL 12 singers sing yesterday (the first song that they sang together) followed by watching ALL 6 men sing, it is evident that there is a huge difference in the quality of singers in II2 as compared to II1. These singers are very poor in quality. They are all amateurs compared to the previous batch. Additionally, if you compare them to the SRGMP singers, they are down right terrible. I've lowered my expectations of this show significantly and do not expect to find a singer who is high caliber (like Abhijeet). Indian Idol is going to take a severe beating of it's brand image. I also think that their ratings for this show will be significantly lower.
All in all, quite disappointed.
