Give back class & quality of sa re ga ma

I really wish Gajji goes back to 'only' music oriented sa re ga ma.There r enough shows to cater to packages.I hope atleast this program stands strong enough against marketing strategies.

I wud still enjoy songs sung by not so made up contestants and on simple sets but quality singing as it used to be ever since its inception.I used to watch all repeat telecasts of saregama coz I just cudnt get enough of the fabulous singing of the singers.

I caught up with some old episodes of Aao Jhoome Gaaye by Anu Kapoor, which is being telecast again on some channel here in UK.The kids had 2 rounds, 1st round their choice of song n second had them to sing the mukhda in sargam(swaram) n antara in lyrics/saahityam and back to mukhda in lyrics.This wud create interest for young generation towards classical music and atleast they wud have an intro to taste of classical.

I really hope Gajji gets back to 'original' format soon.There is a lot of contests which have diff strategies to live up to channel wars.But in my view in all this Indian music is suffering.

These are my views.I hope members post their views on the topic.

Is marketing strategy killing real music n talent?

👏 well said
i totally agree with u...
with such marketing strategy everything abt real music is spoiled!!for them it's a way of earning but for viewers it's just a devalued show day by day...
plz gajji show us back the real music let us get in touch with the real thing...

if trps are also important cant they split saregamapa in 2
one for voting

and one based on judges calibre

i mean there are enuf american shows that have spinoffs like CSi or law and order

why not have 2 srgmps

Can we gather valuable comments on this and pass it on to Gajji.I wanted to send him an email just reminding him of how he has stooped down,but wasnt sure if he wud consider just one voice.

Yes, marketing strategy is killing real music. I bet, singers who win this way, unless they are really good, wont last. Like I mentioned before, the quality of this show is declining. We do not want another Qazi!

Yes, let us all join and send our comments to Gajji. Me was thinking abt it too!

True.I know there r lot of Qazi fans around.Its not his fault that he participated just to get some attention and try his luck.Also the lad did work on his weaknesses and did improve a bit in his singing,but wasnt his fault tht janta made him part of fame jodi which was supposed to cater to singing in major and also other factors.A distribution of 75-25 in this regard is acceptable for me.But in Qazi's case its 25-75.So do we want to have actors coming and eating away singers places with all support of public?

Is real worried public really voting to worthy?Lets have some real music left in India.There is enough dilution and corruption in all areas already.So lets save music from getting diluted.Thanks all!

I think there ought be one round in which people sing with no music in the background. You can hear their voice, tonal quality, voice modulations, pitch control, stretch, etc. without music hiding anything. And Oh Yes, marketing is impacting the show. We need Shiv Hari back but it is too late now. The smarter ones have figured it out I think......

Well I'm not expecting the deals to turn around for this time,but the appeal might work for next series.Damage done is already done.So l need more support from all the members worried abt the deteriorating quality in saregama.

Hoping to see more inputs...Thanks all! Cheers!
