After watching SRGMP, II 1 and FG religiously.. (II 2, i watch only good performances.. my room mate watches the show n tells me which r worth watching n i see only those.. sick of reality shows..) I can say that the loosers are the biggest winners...lets analyze..
II 1 : Amit Sana got a singing offer for a full movie before AS (Sun Zara)..without the mass publicity of Sony, his Chal Diye had reasonable sales.. and his song from Kalyug was appreciated and recognized as compared to Abhijit's from ABA which was totally overshadowd by HR's songs..
SRGMP C05: Sharib, i nver saw much.. i never really liked his singing and i thought he was over praised at times by J-L.. so i dont wanna comment.. lets talk about the losers.. Vinit already sang for 3 films under HR, Hemu sang for 2 telugu movies, singing for Alag, mukta arts has taken him for some of their productions.. Himani sang in Chingari and Tom,Dick and Harry.. Nihira has sung a lot before coming to SRGMP C05 - Pran Jaaye par shaan na jaaye, bunty aur babli, 88 antopp hill..marathi films etc... ID's promise on hte last day makes me believe tat he will make her a star, she has also sang for Alag with Hemu..
FG : Arijit, Shamit and Mona got offers from tips..
Super Singer (Channel V) : Naresh Iyer got a chance to sing with Rahman !! Wat more could he ask for!
so in short.. winnin in reality shows isnt gonna make a differenc.. u got a platform and u became a household name n thts gud enough.. for II 3 or SRGMP C06, people will still take part.. n the same story will continue..good singers r gonna get recognized..
problem is there are too many of them.. and as i mentioned before..followin economics... its a demand supply model.. more supply than demand, cost goes down.. so these singers r goin to have no value.. esp in comparision to shaan, sonu, kunal who have an established name..do u think they'd step aside to give these singers a chance ? hell no !
