I have been watching II6 with a great strain. There are a few things that are not making the show classy...
1. I was so happy when Ashaji was taken in as the 4th judge. I thought her deep knowledge and expertise will add an extra sheen to the show. Instead, I could see it simmer in the selection rounds itself. She would not approve of many singers who sang songs of recent times and openly praised those who stuck to old melodies. This made the show lose out on a lot of good singers who would have otherwise enhanced the quality of this show.
2. Her liking Devender is fine. It is only natural that certain people feel more strongly about a few than others. But blindly, insensitively and out rightly supporting him each time and every time at the cost of pulling down the morale of others was really unexpected from such a senior judge. Ritika who is in fact, younger than Devender does not get that God motherly attitude or appreciation even when she sings well.
I even now appreciate her spirit and attitude about moving on with the times. But like any human being, she has her flip side too.
