TV is as much a medium for listening as Radio is. Many people like to hear good singing while WATCHING the person sing. Does NOT mean that they are intersted in watching these singers dance or perform other things. Most people consider and recognize SRGMP as PRIMARILY being a show about excellence in singing. It's not a show that has given higher preference to any other art form. It's forcus has been and will continue to be good singing.
And to your other point that "Sameer is an all rounder". I'm someone who follows cricket very closely. And I can tell you that a definition of an allrounder is someone who is very good at multiple-things. It does NOT stand for Jack-of-all-trades.
I fail to see how Sameer can be classified as an all-rounder when he hasn't even excelled in the most important thing (singing) yet. He's novice at best.
When i said about the radio what i meant was that 90% of the people who watch a reality show on the TV are very ordinary people like me who use both their eyes and ears while watching TV and for us very ordinary people it is very difficult not to see the performance and the charisnma and the stage presence as well.
I agree with u that the other 10% are very highly intellectual ,sophisticated and mahatma type people who can focus just on singing and singing only and can shut out everything else which is difficult for the so ORDINARY people like me.Thats why I suggested the radio.
As far as sameer's singing is concerned my ears find him a good singer and if u don't want to trust my ears then u have to atleast trust the highly musical trio(i trust Bappida not so much though) who I think have given him the maximum number of A+s,so if i go either way he is an excellent singer.
Gone are the days when SRGMP was considered a singing show only .The producers have changed with time and now it is as much focussed on performance as it is on singing.Remeber the EMET.
As far as allrounder goes ,just to let u know that i am an Indian and i love cricket and i know what allrounder means ,my fav being Kapil Dev.When i used the word all rounder i did'nt mean it as jack of all trades master of none,i meant it exactly as it is meant to be used,good in everything.Sameer is an all rounder for me.
