I am posting a topic on this forum for the first time.
I am making few suggestions to bring back the past glory of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and salvage the reputation of Zee TV. Let us leave behind all the mistakes and chaos that has been created by the program director, in the past weeks.
Here are my suggestions, which I think will control the damage done to this great programme.
1) Bring back all the 12 challengers qualified for Agnipariksha round.
2) Take out AS, HR and ID from the Stage
3) No challenger is allowed to talk about his personal life on the stage.
4) Bring in a new set of 10 judges with different skill sets and from different geographical origins. For example,
a) Shiv-Hari , Pt. Jasraj, AR Rahman
b) Ilayaraja, Chitra, SP Balasubramanyam
c) Kavitha Krishna Murthy, Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan
5) There need to be 2 winners, one in Male group and another in Female Group. I think there are 6 male and 6 female challengers that qualified for Agnipariksha. So there will be 3 rounds for each group. Quarterfinals has 6 challengers and 4 of them will be moved to Semifinals and 2 for finals.
6) Each round will have a) Semi-classical b) Judge's Choice 3) Folk Song 4) Pop-song
7) Stop public voting
8) Mentors will still be training the challengers but they are not allowed to talk on the stage.
9) Results of the judges need to be submitted to an independent Audit Firm, who will announce the results.
Any suggestions? I know it involves some cost to revive the program, but it worth it to bring back the due respect to this wonderful programme.
