Rude Judges: The latest fad

I have been watching the following three musical shows lately.

1. Indian Idol

2. SaReGaMaPa Challenge-2007

3. Amul Star Voice Of India

A common theme seems to emerge from these shows. Rudeness of a bunch of megalomaniac judges. Examples...

Indian Idol:

Anu Malik tries to pull a Simon Cowell but he does it in a very demeaning way. Comments like "Gaane nahi aata hai to kyon chale aatey ho"...."Kaan kyon kha rahe ho?" are frequently heard in angry tone. In one instance, I remember, during audition, one chhakka looking guy ran off with the yellow card (invite to Mumbai). He was livid and chased him out and started hurling abuses at that guy. When some participants tried to calm him down politely, he turned around.....livid at being asked to calm down.....pointed his fingers at those poor participants and said "SHUT UP.....HOW DARE YOU TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO"

SRGMP-C-07

Rudeness of Himmesh Reshammiya and VS towards participants is classic. Himmy shouting on the show "MUJHE ISKEY GHAR MEIN ROTI CHAHIYE...STRUGGLING NAHI"...Veshaal-Shekhar's partiality, their ongoing on-stage dramatized feud with Himmy and general nonsense comments from all judges including mahagurus don't do any good to boost the participants' morale.

ASVOI:

This takes the cake. Welcome to the mother of all rudeness, ladies and gentlemen. Many-a-many times we have seen personal comments being hurled at the participants by Aadesh and Abhijit. Alka seems to relish harassing any participant who dares sing a Sunidhi number. Participants have been harassed by being stopped in the middle of the song harshly and angrily by Aadesh and Abhijit. Most of the participants seem petrified at the prospect of being rudely and angrily addressed in front of thousands. These judges on one hand say..."Sing freely"...How do they expect the participants to sing freely when at the back of their mind, they always have this nagging fear of being demeaned in front of the live audience?

Question:

1. Is this rudeness ingrained into the psyches of judges?

2. Should they treat the participants differently or is it okay to treat average singers with such disdain?

3. What do these judges want to prove to the audience? Are they sending the righ message to the participants and audience?

4. Would they get the best from the participants by acting in the manner that they do right now?

5. Lastly, if there is one or 2 judge(s) across all competitions (the above 3 or any) that you would like to list as paragon of judging, who would that be and why?

mannu, only difference between Simon and these judges is that when Simon english mein dhulai karta hai...with his cute brit accent...tab itnaa bura nahi lagta per jab hamarey desi simon hindi mein same baat boltey hain toh kaano ko akharta hai....for example kisi ko "dog" bolo toh itna akharta nahi kaanon ko per agar hindi mein "kutta" bolo toh kitna bura lagta hai...hai na 😆

😆😆😆..

OK....So let's see...

Simon says: "You sounded horrible"...and he was smiling...his eyebrows were arched..😛

Reaction: The candidate argues

Simon says: "Well...that's my opinion...you sounded horrible"...He was still smiling and his eyebrows were arched...😛

Reaction: The candidate smiles in despair and smiles back and leaves..

Anu says: "Khamokha hamara waqt kyon barbaad kar rahe ho yaar"....his face was livid....his eyebrows were contorted..

Candidate: starts argument...

Anu says: "Mujhse behas karega....nikal ja.." his face now contorted along with eyebrows...

Candidate: By this time in a pleading mode..."Sir, kuchh aur suna doon"...

Anu says: "Nahi sunna mujhe...kaha na..nikal ja..bahut ho gaya"...Expression: Smoking with anger...

Difference is their style of delivering the no-nonsense comments..😃

They all are going for "wanna be Simon" 😛.

What's up with AS being so so rude using language like "Patli gali se nikal kar ghar jaao" and Rifle in his hand 🤢 😡

Jatin or Lalit carrying Toshi during today's episode. I am lost here. Have they all gone mad just to increase TRP 😡

Not a single judge qualifies for that IMHO. May be JA in II 3 but I feel sometimes he is very nice too when the singer is not good.

I will say Maha Guru-judges in SRGMP have been the best so far. Asha Tai, Ustaad Gulam Ali Khan ji, Khayyam Ji and Rajesh Roshan.

Rumor is ASVOI GS is talking to Asha Tai. wonder what for?? Maha judge there too to keep all these out of control judges in check 😉 😆

I had mixed opinion about Asha Tai....

I believe barring one or 2 instances, her judgements were very fair (I think she messeup up on Sareeka)...I believe she gave good tips to the contestants....

On the other hand I also think that she was a little partial towards Pancham Da's songs...

But overall, I do give her a thums Up. 👍🏼

Khayyam....I better not speak about him.......Rajesh Roshan...😳...Ghulam Alim Khan sahab....not much to add 😕

Aadesh Srivastava: I wish mQT was here so I could borrow a firing emoticon from her and put it against his head...

Just maybe that the Judges are also equally frustrated with the level of singing that they find in the contest...

During the auditions, they came in hordes, they came to see the Judges and not participate in the contest... maybe they just got tired of sitting and listening to people bray all the time and that insulated their ears from real music too...

In II, Anu Malik may be rude, at least he gives (most of the time) unbiased comments.... and then at least you wont have comments like "Puja, main tumhare liye Puja karoonga ki tum meri dream ko poora karo"

In SRGMP, this year, ID was very very rude to one lady contestant on her clothing... None of his concern really, ought to have paid attention to her voice, not her thighs, but then, with HR being so loud and garnering all the attention, maybe the others are at their wits end on how to get the camera to turn towards them as well, lest public forget that there are other Judges sitting on the dias as well....
