I think also have to take into account the discrepancy between live reactions vs audience reactions is partially factored by Sony ‘correcting’ performances.
In the past judges may have criticized contestants when mistakes were made, however things are different these days. Every singing show in India has producers who opt to alter and ‘correct’ performances through software and various mediums in order to have a more polished and finished product to reach audiences. These aren’t competitive platforms anymore; they’re TRP cranking entertainment machines.
Its why all judges are encouraged to be positive for performances, you can’t call someone besura if on the final telecast their corrected version sounds spot on (an example and justification Sonu Nigam used when criticizing Indian Idol and its marketing team).
Ultimately, I do think certain contestants benefit more from finished versions than others. It’s also why many viewers always wonder why certain contestants get so much praise while others (who also sounded exceptional) are barely acknowledged by live judges/guests that day. Some of it is factored by propping up popular contestants for TRP yes, but also have to keep in mind that some may sound very good live and garner a lot of comments or attention. Whereas some may have sounded mediocre that day and were barely acknowledged, yet their corrected version could be exceptional. Hence, the discrepancy at times between live reactions and audience reactions.
The unfortunate reality of modern day singing ‘competitions’. The show is certainly shady, but rather than everything be a conspiracy there are also some reasonable explanations for some of these discrepancies.
