the king has been following most of the reality shows since the past few years. everything has 1 common factor. audience voting. is this a boon or bane?

b4 indian idol started SRGMP did not have audience voting. then v had gud singers like shreya come out of it. even the winners were well deserving as the judges knew who sang well n who din. but wid audience voting introduced n judges juzz giving a completely senseless rating called hit superhit history etc can v ever get a deserving contestant win a reality shows.

while voting the viewers do not take into consideration how gud n consistent the singer is but which state he is from, how handsome he is (whether he has sexy curly hair etc) n other non-singing factors. this is another reason v don have galz winning bcoz most of the viewers who vote r galz n they vote 4 boyz. hence galz end up high n dry. an example is indian idol 4. v have had 3 gud singers who r galz eliminated.

wht is the use of judges scores n comments if people r not gonna listen 2 them. the chosen one believes tht either they shud scrap the audience voting which is unlikely as the producers will loose out on money or change the format. such tht the judges choose the bottom 4 n audience saves the best 3. this may 2 an extent produce desirable results.

Voting is just a waste of time (it's all about TRP - so that people can get involved), voting does not serve the purpose as we all have some sort of hidden biases and majority of people vote on the basis of region, religion, looks, x-factor, etc. etc.

You might not agree with me, but that's a bitter fact.

i know, not always the best singer comes out of these shows, but these shows after all are called Reality Shows, they are not suppose to pick the best singer. We have to accept the reality which is some contestants get more votes than others, and yes the judges are sometimes biased.

A true competition only starts when these singers release their albums or playback songs. When the winner flops and the loser becomes a big singer, this is when we find the true singer

i think public voting is not a good idea coz it will be a boon to those who r Bengali...but a bane to those who r non-bengalis but r more deserving!!!!!🤢
Another reason is coz people vote more for those who r entertaining and who gets more publicity rather than those who sing well...i.e Asma....🤢
But..at the same time...leaving the decision on the judges is also not much effective..coz each of them would want their own gharana to win...eg..Ismail durbar would have made Amanat the winner of 07 if he could and VS would have favored Raja..similarly..Pritam would have directly declared Debojeet the winner without a second thought...so..there can never be a consensus in these kinda matters...at the end,..i think it's better to leave it the way it is.......😊

Guys these are reality Shows, and you have to accept the reality. I also don't like how some contestants from a particular region get more votes, but there is nothing we can do about it. If the other contestants are good then they have to proove it in the Music World, not on a singing Competition.

no dear in such a scenario v have 2 get rid of gharanas as well. the judges will b impartial. they will b judges n ot mentors like in indian idol.

its not juzz bengalis but also contestants from north-east region. like remo, prashant tamang, kapil etc too get lots of votes inspite of average performances.

Voting should be banned - public cnt make the right decison...the judges should decide....
for eg where is debo, rahul and abhijeet sawant....((abhi is gud though)....
singers like harshit, toshi gt little ignored....hence voting should be BANNED...only money making excuses..
