why II2 didnt click?- article

was wondering as to what could be the reason behind the lacklustre performance of the much hyped Indian Idol on Sony this time round? Towards the end, the fight between Karunya and Sandeep Acharya for the coveted title, somehow didn't manage to connect with viewers the way it did in its first edition. So, how does one explain the lackluctre ratings of this format show which continues to rake in such massive numbers for Fox in the US season after season?

I think, the channel went a bit amiss in terms of bombarding the viewer with an overdose of format shows. Even after the first round of Indian Idol, the channel continued to play on the hype around Abhijeet Sawant. With the same footage doing the rounds, the channel went ahead with Fame Gurukul. Meanwhile, Zee went aggressive on the Sa re ga ma Challenge, turning it into a reality show. This coupled with Star's Kaun Banega Crorepati Dwitiya and Star One's The Indian Laughter Challenge and Nach Baliye.

So, in all the fight was really for the viewer share of the same audience and from the same genre really. An overdose of reality programming… I must say

I second you !!
not that the quality of the show was bad but it was overdose that mattered!!
peace

one was way better....two was about acting looks not about real talent truth of the matter is after amey left so did ratings sandeep won great but even sandy fans know true taelnt did not win injustice was done so now India all good looking and cute boys get ready for 3 you have these bozos who will vote again n again not respecting real music sense or sur or even taal

Combination of an overdose of reality shows and a lack of novelty. II2 wasn't much different than SRGMP in terms of drama.

Sony TV isn't doing generally well in terms of TRPs either. Zee TV, which used to lag behind in ratings, is in second place now I think thanks to SRGMP-05 and some other popular soaps. Sahara One is also getting more popular...

ii2 had good singers and all of them went away too early on in the show coz of the foolish voting thats why it didnt work plus all the fake drama.
