My SRGMP Mission Continued, I'm on a roll here. 😛
The biggest problem this season is the lack of versatility found among contestants. I feel that although they may excel in their genre, its hard to see them do well in other genres. I feel all the contestants are stuck in that one zone that they started off with. And the judges (ahem, ahem ... Himesh) are supporting that.
Last season, Himesh and Vishal had numerous arguments regarding versatility (remember Mussarat and the ghar-me-roti drama?). Himesh said that they should excel in their genre and follow it instead of attempting songs in other genres which might get them voted off. Vishal said no they should prove that they are a versatile singer, because that's the point of this competition --- finding a playback singer.
Now, I agree with Vishal, this is the point of the show --- otherwise we would have 10 winners, one for each genre. However, Himesh's side applies in one aspect. In the earlier stages of the show, we have new mahagurus every week who judge these singers. Now suppose there is one singer who decides to portray versatility and sings something outside of his/her field and does terribly (but had done fantastic the week before) ... now based on that one performance (not judging past performances) the mahaguru will be forced to kick the contestant out. On the other hand, if one contestant sings in the same genre excellently week after week, he/she will be promoted. And because the mahaguru wasn't there the previous week, they will not know that the contestant is not versatile. Making sense here?
What are you're thoughts on that? Me, personally, I think the contestant should be versatile. All the top notch playback singers today all have one thing in common -- their versatility. Sure, there are singers who sing in just one genre (ie Richa Sharma, RFAK, etc.), but they have lesser songs, and not everyone can reach that height.
Also, out of all the reality shows you have seen, is there one contestant that comes to your mind who you think portrayed versatility?
