I cannot agree 100% with you .... Shankar telling him just a contestant does not work out .... that way judges shoudl give him marks and he get singer of the day as well ....
Now this show MKMM is not to portray music talent of captains ... right. It's grooming team. Shankar specifically comes himself to get points .... telling himself I'm just a contestant does not makes any sence when he comes and competes against Shadab and Anwesha to get marks for his team ....
Now here comes the difference ....
- Shankar came against Shadab, Anwesha, Vineet etc ... what it means ... no one in his team can compete with them? no confidence in team .. just to get marks as captains usually get 10 full points ...
- Same applicable for Shreya
- Mika's one was a blooper ... when he came against Anwesha and Debo on Dil se round ... they got 9.5 audience and Mika's Sanam teri kasam was 9 .... I really liked that one though
- Now Shaan never ever competed against any contestant ... he wanted to give them space ... and not marks greedy attitude only ... see you can get marks in exam in many ways ....
Dignified one - Study, write and get marks
- Else .... Copy from book and get marks .... or bribe examiner and get marks ....
All are intentions to get marks ... now how you get is your attitude ... and better even if you find examiner giving more marks taking bribe .. protest for that ... similar what Shaan did when in duet judges were evaluating only Rahul ... comeon duet is 50:50 ... so Rahul 5 and Neeti 5 ....
But you have judges and people ... jo Dimag ghar pe rakh-ke aate hein so what else can I say
By logic and ethics, I still strongly believe Shaan has done right by portraying his teams contestants more than singing himself and when it was needed for a captain to compete against a captain to save team, he did that for Shreya's match ... He protested against "Shahid leading the medly and singing" .. Ravi Kishen was just jumping sidewise and trying to sing on his own ... Shaan's team was singing fully independent of Ravi Kishen, so do not compare that .. that way Farhan also took mike sometimes during medly ... but he did not lead the medly ... which Shahid did ... it was Shahid's medly followed by the team ....
