..but I wonder how people who hv less/no knowledge of music will be voting?? They must be getting biased bcoz these mentors are music composers n general mass will definitely give weightage to their marks..
U both r absolutely right..I personally have a little background in music, so I judge based on my knowledge and vote for whoever I think really did well that particular week..
But the people who don't have much knowledge in music, consider the gurugraphs while voting..I wud say thats why the mentors are for at this point int he show, bcos they are music directors by profession and hence have extensive knowledge in music..they are supposed to correctly judge the contestants based purely on their singing talent, taking into account how the singers do in sur, taal, song selection, starting the song, finishing a line, the aalap and murkhis and harkats and all those aspects collectively and then give points appropriately..
But here we see something entirely different..there is favoritism and wowowing for the silliest of songs which shudnt be allowed to be sung in a singing talent contest first of all, and there is no appreciation or encouragement for a sincere effort on a difficult song..they hardly give any tips or advice to the singers..its really shameful!
