Is SRGMP right?

For the past few years, these shows have brought in singers who have some amount of versatility. may be more.Niche singers were just a couple per show.

Base = folk songs
As per rules, the rajasthani folk singhers had to be in the show
as folk songs are for enjoyment and we enjoyed too.
They were eliminated because of surs.

Classical songs came from folk songs. But it is again second root of singing industry which is not enough for the world.

I agree with the main thread. While it's nice that each singer is allowed to stay within their comfort zone, I don't see how this can identify a winner. So, what will decide who is best? Versatility? Greatest potential to succeed in their genre? Greatest potential to succeed as a playback singer? It does not seem to be clear at this point.

I do think that SRGMP took a big risk in choosing genre specific contestants because in order to be successful in mainstream Bollywood singing, you have to be able to sing it all. I'm glad (and enjoying) that we get hear people like Mohammad Aman and Jazim who are so trained and wonderful in what they do, but how successful will they be after the show? I'm worried about Mohammad especially. I would hate to see a talent like his just have to go back home after a few months and pursue something else. He was born to sing. You cannot be taught what his voice naturally has.

I think maybe at some point they will have themes each week for the contestants to sing to, and that will affect many contestants' destinies in the show. In order to be successful in Bollywood, you have to be versatile. That's why some of these contestants' may have to work harder than others to become more versatile.

I am not very sure, i agree with that.

Bollywood is evolving, so are other music industries.

Music is changing, singers are evolving, times are changing. Everyone is adapting.

Imagine shreya singing zoobi doobi . thats the way it is.

What is the guarantee that you are versatile and still will get a job? in any of these woods?

kailash kher is a niche singer, so is sukhwinder. So is shankar mahadevan or kk or mohit chahuhan. are they all not successful?

we cannot predict audiences taste and that is it.

I feel they can continue the show as it is and forget themes etc.

let anyone be the winner.

let us all enjoy good music while the show lasts.

BTW, i do not want mohammad aman to become a bollywood singer, with his talent he will not be lost. God bless him.

If anyone thought that these contestants will rock bollywood someday then forget about it. No matter how talented they are and no matter how much they got praised by the music director-cum-mentors, reality is they will probably sing two or three songs and will mostly be seen on stages shows. Nothing wrong with that.
