have you guys noticed that old saregama had really stringent standards and in many cases the contestants were given a song to sing on the spot, they either knew how to sing it or not and they had to perform then and there without prior preparation to that song. These days i feel like the competition has become really easy, i was watching some old videos on youtube and they seemed so much more focused on singing. Now it's more about looks and performance as well. I think old saregama rules were much much better it gave a much more true perspective on the contestants' singing.
