Ya ID JI I agree with u about the singers u mentioned ....But Nihira couldn't make it big with such good training and angel like voice ....that is very sad....
Poonam , Nihira , Anwesha , Aishwarya , r great finds in reality shows ..Hope their classical training will help them achieve great success in future ....
But u need something else too to be in limelight that's called luck, proper contacts , good manager etc ....Prime example is Amey Date ....we get info about him thru a friend of ours since II 2 days..we also winessed how he sang in JJWS and then unceremonuiously "dumped" by channel ....we learnt that all these offers for playback singing come with conditons ..u can't sing with any other MDs for a period of 3 years contract ...can't participate in shows and concerts where those MDs r not involved( or without their permission) etc etc etc ....
Amey being the sole bread earner in his family can't leave his full time job as a musical trainer in suresh wadhkar's school and performing in concerts during weekends .....
There may be so many stories other than "they r losing touch" like Amey ..only we don't have access to those stories ...
