Commenting on this particular line, I think popularity will stay with you depending if u have talent or not.. if you are good you will be remembered..just because you took part or won a reality show doesn't make u a good singer or successful in bollywood.. Last years top 4 were good singers so people know them... what happened to the singers in FG ? Ruprekha and Qazi are no where to be seen, Sony isn't promoting them as they did to Sawant because Sawant was a good singer and I would say deserving of the title, the episode with top 3 was very good..when I was watching SRGMP with top 3, it reminded me of II 1 with top 3.. Abhijeet - Debojeet, Amit - Hemu and Rahul Vaidya - Vinit... the similarities are almost scary !!!
II winners and contestants are popular.. but unless they are soemthing all together like Karunya or Amey I dont think they can last long in this industry..
in the last 10 yrs or so with the old sgmp, how many have gone on to make it? shreya, kunal? am sure there must be others too, but they're mostly doing stage shows, aren't they?
as for the II folks, not that i saw any of it, arent those folks better off, considering they didnt have a lot of talent to start with?
yaar, in any competition, only one or two win the prize. so technically almost everyone is a loser. but in the grander scheme of things, with the new sgmp, they are all winners- they got precious face-time before the public, something normally folks have to pay a lot of money to get.
