this year zee has changed the format to get more TRPs
last time around the initial TRPs were bad
it started changing only after the salaman khan episode
of course by the time it ended it was more popular than any other reality show on indian tv
lil champs broke all records by becoming the first non star plus show to top at no 1 in six years beating all k serials
so they understand public voting is what hooks up ppl
and to get ppl hooked onm they need beedi and maiyya only
i m no classical singer but what little i understood of sur this years batch is far weaker
but then again except for nihira none of the C05 singers
were professionals and only improved under 6 months of training
the only ppl who did not improve were ppl under himesh
ujjaini actually deteriorated under his guidance
she would have been far more comfortable under jatin lalit
but this is the way its going to be in the future
zee is not going to run a free lunch for all the talented singers in the country if they do not have the x factor they have ran a free lunch for the past 10 years without getting the requisite TRPs in return
pradeep guha and his new management have made TRPs the sole focus
that shows in the change to SRGMP as well as axing of shows like astitva
no wonder gajendra singh didnt like it
he was made accountable for TRPs and no longer had a blank cheque to fulfill his vision
this is plain and simple business
but just wish they couldf give us classical srgmp
if possible in the sunday morning or some unglamorous band so that some singers actually also come through
