sorry sangeetpremi...as this was sung by Debu in the earlier competition, I don't think we can get the link like the above one...
With the bickerings going on between the mentors and substandard judgements provided by judges like Daler and Alka, guess you may be partially right that the competition returns to the old format.
Actually, in the old format, you can see the contestants progressing into the next round with lot more conviction. Also, as you mentioned, since each contestant performs three times in the same day, the judgements is usually fair.
However, the old format may not be much rewarding for the competitors, who normally were given 'gift hampers' from a Jaipan appliances or a mall etc..etc.
Now in the new format, they have more exposure, more hype...more money...more offers to sing....
Perhaps Gajendra Singh may modify the final stages in such a way that in each episode of 1 hour duration, not more than 6 contestants, each contestant gets to sing a film song, a duet and a private (any language) song....In my opinion this would give the judges more room to make their judgment.
Any other views???
