In Li'l Champs 2009, Zee raises the bar to unprecedented heights... then drops it below the water
First part - I am really gratified to know that pure Indian clasical dwells and is alive and kicking. That somebody like Swarit and Antara should be into serious Riyaz (it's obvious that they do) and that they should be selected and encouraged is a really positive signal from Zee which will provide more motivation for keeping the rich heritage of Indian Classical music alive.
What COMPLETELY SPOILS AND UNDOES IT IS THE ATTITUTE AND REACTION TOWARDS SHALINI MUKERJEE. It's quite obvious that she comes from a family which is related or close to someone high up in Zee. She SHOULDNT EVEN HAVE BEEN SELECTED.
I have a heartfelt request to Zee - PLEASE dont spoil an excelllent platform and potentially great careers by favoritism and manipulation. Apart from this bad taste in the month Li'l champs is reaching the high standards that this show once had when under Sonu Nigam. The competiting shows are nowhere.
Please maintain an unbiased high standard!!!
