You know for a change, to really challenge the contestants, they can do an all English songs episodes. Since the show airs on Sony, they can easily use songs published from Sony BMG...songs of artists like Celine Dion, Shakira, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears.

U think its possible ? Or a little too far fetched ?

I know they probably won't do it 😆

Yes yes yes. If not English, at least make contestants sing in other Indian languages but not Hindi and in their mother tongue.

So arunita to sing in any Indian language but not in Bengali or Hindu. Sayli, asish and anjali not in Marathi or Hindi.

After all Lataji, Ashaji, Kishore Kumar, Rafiji, Mukesh etc have sung songs in different languages.


Also for English, an ABBA special would be a treat. All their songs are gems

I'd actually prefer English over regional songs coz its already been done multiple times.

I'd love to see them sing different artists and genres, that would be truly challenging.

That would be lovely!! But we know that’s not going to happen. Majority of the viewers may not have heard English songs, and they’re really catering to the masses.

I’d really like them to sing songs if some artists you’ve mentioned. That would be a REAL challenge for the contestants

Don't u remember the Michael Jackson craze when he came to India? I am sure everyone knows who he is!!

Other than him I am sure most of the demographic is aware of Shakira, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. They could chose the popular songs which everyone has heard.

Of course they’ve heard of some of these singers, but do they listen to their songs?

Again, the MJ craze was amongst urban youngsters.

Not all but they'd know "my heart will go on", "hips dont lie", and a lot of the 70s and 80s disco songs were hugely popular. Even if people did not hear them everyday they knew those songs.

@bold: my parents told me how seniors were trying to buy tickets to the concerts.

I’m sure most will now some of these songs, but I still think that’s not the target audience. And anyway we know this show isn’t about versatility. They’re happy using the same old formula that’s worked all these years.

Really? I remember throwing a fit wanting to go, but I wasn’t allowed. I was maybe like 10!! I somehow didn’t imagine too many seniors would’ve wanted to go.
