As far as singing goes, this season and C 05 stick out the most. There's some great talent on both shows. I also love the fact that a less popular form of music was kept alive and given to the public to enjoy from a great talent in Ranjeet. I liked the format from C 05 with 2 judges each week, as it meant the mentors couldn't be biased.
For the same reason, I thought this show would have many fights with the mentors giving marks and eliminating contestants, but thankfully they were all very honest and weren't just looking out for themselves but all singers, whether they were from they're own gharana or not.
Had the C 05 mentors been given this format, there would've been more fights and hell would've broken lose... But at the same time, that show would've MUCH more popular with the added drama.
What was done with Rini wasn't right, but it was done with her consent. She was very happy to take part in mocking our culture. What was done with Sumedha was done by the producers of the show and script writers. She wasn't watching the show, how would she know that her expressions for one thing would be shown for something else?
Here's where I disagree with Ankit. Saying tumhare ghar mein roti ho is worse than saying Rab rakha... One is wishing for God to take care of you, whereas the otherstatement is saying that I'll be the one to take care of you, which as I mentioned before wasnothing more than a broken promise. I've listed all the contestantsthat were given these promises, but I have yet to hear about those contestants that were given empty promises by SW and VS that Ankit has insisted have taken place. Only Ankit knows these instances and he doesn't tell me.😭
No doubt there has always been drama, but when the drama leaves it's intentions for entertainment(not saying what was done with Rini was entertaining, but that's what was intented)and starts affecting the judgements on the show, that's when it get's out of hand.If you saw C 05 then you know what I mean.That's why the drama this season has been taken more lightly. This light drama that had no affect on the judgement on the show and caused no tension between mentors and contestants explains the low TRP's.😊
