DOTW - SRGMP Contests: Who should judge? - Page 4

No Abhie judges are always biased, It happens with every show. if they change judges every week then there is no biasing like the judgement in preliminary round of C2005

Again, would come down to what we really want out of the show - the best singer overall or the best singer in that particular episode.

There might be several external factors that negatively effect the singing/performance of a contestant in a particular episode. In that case, changing judges every week will only decide the latter...

As far as my judgement goes, my ranking of qualities is as follows:

1. Consistency
2. Supremacy
3. Feelings
4. Performance

Hence I would like to have same judges for a series so as to know consistency and supremacy. Also it helps them to analyse the contestants on overall basis

What they can do:They can have public voting, then since there are three judges, they can each decide if they should go with the judgment of the public or not. If 2/3 or 3/3 say yes, then the person will be out. If 2/3 or 3/3 say no, then the person will not be out and the judges will choose on who should be out. That is 50-50.... 😛

I dont think the public would be in favour of judges over-turning their votes all the time, when they actually spend time and money sending votes thru landlines, SMS, etc.

Also, Judges' bias can easily come into play. If they overturn a public favourite who is not necessarily their own favourite, then there will be less participation from the audiences.

Such a Veto power should be allowed only 1-2 times in the competition.

i feel it should be 50-50 in srgmp.the simple reason is that there are factors other than singing which come into play.also this show was titled india kivoice so india should get a fair say.as for the singing part i think the judges should decide it as the common public does not know the nuances of singing very well

My view:

I think the judges shouldbe there in place until we have the top2/ Reason, if left upto the public it will go more towards popularity than in getting the right singer. The real sa re was more on popularity. Also, woman 4 whatever reason in the hands of the public seem to have a lesser edge in winning. So I say let leave it to the judges, in the end when we have top2 than open it up to the public. REason at that point we know that we have2 rising stars and anyone winning wouldbe adelight.

Umm I feel Judge's vote is better than Public votes because u know in these days people do not vote by singing . They vote by the contestant's personality and looks. People even sometimes vote for symphathy for poor people . SRGMP Lil champs is going great according to me. I mean I think there is no manipulating here by the judges. I feel if the public would have selected the winner it would have been looks wise and personality and not by sur.

I believe Hemu was out because he lacked the personality which other had and though Hemu's voice was the best he had to go because people in South India do not vote so much.

So according to me judges should decide 😛

Actually, the judges are also playing favourites and not always judging by sur.

For example: Neha was eliminated before Protik even though she did much better acc. to the aggregate of the grades.

Diwakar was often given a B+ by Alka even though at times he did not deserve that low a grade. However, Armaan would CLEARLY go off sur but get an A+ because of "his age"!

In the Kolkata auditions, Abhijit picked an 8 year old girl who was very cute, but didn't sing so much in sur over other better candidates. Alka and Bappi later eliminated her.

The judges are also human and sometimes end up making judgements based on personality.

i would like to talk of the present show lil champs for now..

abhrokanti will get 1 more double promotion next week for the kailash kher song"teri deewani" 👏

that leaves us with
abhro
sanchita
pawni
sameer
shraddha

shraddha though talented is inconsistent..my feelingis she will go next (on friday)..

MY VOTE GOES FOR JUDGES

i would like 1.abhro,2.sameer,3.sanchita and 4.pawni to be judged by different judges, the more senior in the musical field the better..

we want the most deserving child to be the winner without any bias.i would like a tougher format too,with semiclassical,pure vocal withoutaccompanying instruments etc....

Very good points T - the judges have played to other factors, and we have seen that earlier with EMAET too - the veto power was used on SI when the judges felt that a particular region would not have voted for them due to a certain incident there. The veto power was ultimately wasted and SI were eliminated soon after.

I think judges play to emotions at times and so do the public. Hence we need a balance.

Judges are much better ofd on deciding on the musical factors agreed, but ultimately if the program aims at churning out playback singers, the audience involvement is very important. It is to these audience that the winning contestant has to play. So let them also have a say in who they want to listen too.

And again, if audience are somewhat a part of the decision making process, the chances of their getting involved are much higher and hence they would like to contribute to the singers album more enthusiastically when it comes out. After all, it was them who were a part of making this person a singer - human psychology!

But yes, dont leave it entirely to the naive audience - let the 50% weightage of the judes opinion be the correcting and balancing factor to decide the most deserving as well as popular winner

OK - lets do a quick check here, who is saying what 😊:

Jadoo says - Public voting is the way to go.

Barnali'di agrees to Jadoo and both think that one vote per viewer should be counted (not sure how)

Abhi says - Depends on the format of the show. If its something like C05 - 50-50 is the way to go. Since C07 seems to be the next thing in SRGMP horizon, lets keep that in focus for the timebeing

Shady says - Have the judges screen the initial bunch of contestants and give the cream to audience. Let the audience decide after that.

Jaya says - At any stage of the contest, have a 50-50 weightage of Judges + Audience opinions.

Any other takers here?

i go with Jaadoo and Barnali di here😊
