II 3- losing steam??

It happened in the season 2….it seems to be happening again in the season 3…what makes a music reality show like II lose its steam somewhere in the middle rather than peak towards the climax?

Here are some possible reasons:

Expectations too high from untrained singers?

Many of the singers in the II are untrained amateurs. What we see of them during the auditions are edited clips of brief performances. These singers may actually sound the best during their auditions when they sing a couple of lines of songs that they may have rehearsed for ages. That is why some singers begin to sound bad during the Mumbai rounds itself

Familiarity breeds contempt?

Listening to the same singers over and over again makes you notice their flaws more.

Unimaginative Judgment...

The same comments, the same scripted disagreements…the judges particularly in the gala rounds begin to sound like broken records…e.g. JA praising Ankita all the while, Udit not making any committed judgments, Anu blowing his own trumpet about being a composer etc etc

Unimaginative themes

We have such a vast repertoire of Hindi film songs…for every season, every mood… Somehow the repetition of the same themes patriotism, romance etc reflects the lack of creative thinking on part of the producer…they did try something different with a back to back fast and slow number this season but somehow it didn't work for me…

And last but definitely not the least…

Public voting the greatest dampener…

When the voting results in exit of deserving candidates you begin to lose interest. A 50% judge's weightage is the need of the hour for all music reality shows… Only that can lead to a finale where the best singers compete for the title..and only then can a musical show like this peak in terms of viewers' interest towards the climax

100000000000000% correct ... the most imp point is public voting . they vote for their fav not the deserving one !!! howcome pt is in top3 of ii .. just cos of public voting

for the last part...about 50-50 voting...

wasnt famegurukul also 50-50...

there actually...the onli contestant who cud get eliminated were the ones the judges and faculty put in danger zone..

but styl...it was a disappointment, no??

the judges dont noe anything themselves...they also get attached to the contestants and become bias...JA being the biggest example of all....from his famegurukul days...

everything else i agree with....those the the reasons i lost interest...except that emon styl sings good...and i styl love hearing him...im not bored....but yeah...everything else... 😆

Amit is the only thing which keeps me interested in this show, rest is just so boring. i agree with your points

i agree with the 50-50 voting system its much better than 100% on public votes

Same here..I watch II only for Amit, else i am SRGMP fan this year.

i think to solve the voting, people should only be alowed to vote
once and somehow people from all over the world can vote. i
don't know if i trust the judges, either.

im watchin the show only 4 amit.. till hes around its interestin... i look 4ward 2 the gala only 4 his perf...
no format is foolproof... fame gurukul had 50 50 votin didnt it ? still u ended up with a non singer as the winner so... wotever the format there is always goin 2 b prob n also unhappy fans unsatisfied with the results goin ag their fav..
so all v can do is accept the format n v can try to change the results n make sure v do r bit 4 r fav by votin 4 them...

I guess none of them are unavoidable except the last point. This cannot be compromise din any way. There is no worst judge like the Indian Janta.

I agree when ppl here say that a 50% weightage for Judges may not be fool proof as was the case with Fame Gurukul... But then all the more reason to bring in Judges with more conviction and knowledge...
I loved Asha Bhonsle as a judge in SGMP...and all those great musicians who judged those old sa re ga ma episodes...
Another point...tho' I cant give you proof on this one...is the channel's interference...I dont know if they tamper with the actually voting tally but the drama they create...the edited footage they show...that definitely affects the gullible audience...
Just as an example...I have a strong feeling that the @ Chang giving her a flower" controversy had a big part to play in Deepali's ouster...it didnt augur too well with the conservative audiences!
