lol well i watch both shows and i love them both for different reasons. the thing is...they're different shows looking for different things. sa re ga ma pa only takes trained singers who are only looking to be playback singers whereas indian idol gives a chance to trained AND untrained singers. and i think that's great because in the past some of our greatest singers have been untrained (like kishore kumar, etc.) and whoever becomes an indian idol will probably do more than just playback singing. they'll sing their own songs, not just film songs and i'm sure they'll do a lot of stage performances as well. anyway, i like the fact that both shows are different otherwise i'd be bored. and they both do a great job of finding singers that appeal to us (the public) so i'm not complaining 😉
