Airtel Super Singer Junior 4 - Page 33

Really disappointed by this season! There seems to have been an agenda at play. Please the international audiences by letting Jessica into the competition and giving her an award (I have nothing against her, she seems to be a well grounded girl), but make sure she doesn't win so they don't have to deal with the technicalities of awarding a non-citizen a house. At the same time promote the judges favourites (Bharath, Sreesha, and Hari Priya). The 50:50 points divide for the results was not explicitly stated by the show. Only the viewers who follow the show online knew that the public voting accounts for half of the points. The rounds for the final performance were strange as well. Was the second round meant to be 'AR Rahman round'? If so the round wasn't really Anushya's forte, while it would have helped the other contestants. Some of them even repeated their previous songs, which I thought wasn't allowed in the finals. I recall a member of Roshan's camp (from SSJ2) once complaining that both Roshan and Nithyashree were prohibited from choosing a particular song they wanted to sing for the finals by Anand Vaidhyanathan. Instead they were 'encouraged' to sing something else, likely causing their last place results. Since then I've been quite pessimistic about Super Singer results, but it seems like they still haven't changed at all.

It's sad to see how much stress the parents and children undergo for this competition. I feel for all the contestants who are pawns in the judge's/network's agenda, even the ones who benefit from it. And even though we complain about the results, we will be back again for it next season. Such is the reach of this show, unfortunately.
