I still would probably depend more on that someone who is locked up in some room for umpteen years and has a narrow appeal as that someone is whom you call today a Legend and a well respected one.....
Same happens even in real world...
If you have good score on credit history file you will get better percentage on loans...
The one with bad score even though gets the loan, have to pay the price for not improving their Credit score...
Now u tell me among public and judges who's score is high according to your agency😉 ......
FYI
I have scores of all the 3 major agencies 😆😆
yaar, there we go again- using objective quantitative score type methodologies to judge music. btw, do u really need someone who has the qualifications of a miss world (and who has spent umpteen years grooming herself) to judge beauty? yes? no? dont know about u, but i sure can tell who i find beautiful. dont need mommy or some aishwarya rai to tell me what works for me. nor some fancy marksheet where we have tallied scores for nose, eyes, throat etc. down to the 5th decimal place 😉 J/K
aside from that, we keep conveniently glossing over other points-
1. who appoints those judges? in the course of these discussions, they seem to magically appear like manna from heaven. makes me feel i am watching some epic where we have folks with all the wonderful traits we so desire.
2. whose definition of "best" do we want to work with?
3. dont we have so many judges who have appeared on the show, most of whom have proven to be disasters from time to time? what do u think their "hit-ratio" is? better than the public?
4. it is a fallacy to think that the public erred in the case of c2005 and emaet. nihira and hema might be the only examples, but here also i can argue why they were not the best choice, but that wld invite massive wrath. point is- if public did fairly well in those challenges, why the gripe against having public votes.
5. the kind of judges we seem to want are no different from the professors in college- they can judge people on technical merits which often have very little to do with complete personality, the kind which gives rise to soulful/ appealing music.
6. to judge music one needs to have the ability to appreciate music, not necessarily be trained in those areas. in fact, the best judges are at times very removed from the field. they do not carry any baggage of sur, taal and all the mumbo-jumbo narrow tunnel-vision syndrome. and ability to appreciate music is an innate trait we all possess for the most part. dont need no big-time judge for that.
more to follow if needed...😉
