Star Voice of India repeating the same clich- Venue and Timings not yet official

I have received several mails asking for the venue and timings and details about the show. But I am disappointed to repeat it again that the authorities have not made such information official to the larger media. But amid all those request mails I received one particular concern, which I thought I can put forward so as to start the forum and take the discussion ahead on the issue.

Star Voice of India Talent show's announcement and the news that the audition will take place only in major North Indian cities reminds one of all the partialities done to the South Indian Audiences.

Earlier when participants from down south made it to the big league-like Karunya in "Indian Idol" and Hema Chandra in "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa", they lost out not because of lack of talent but because of lack of votes. Now one has to understand that votes are never directly related to talent. So the questions remain:

Why does this happen? And why has South India never actually been a major player in such Talent Shows? –Is it because the channels have not been keen enough to bring down south in the larger picture?

The person who raised this concern has something to say. I want all of you to listen to it:

Its' true that in South India there is less percentage of people who will watch the channels like SONY, ZEE, and STAR TV's. But that should not be the reason for which the channels like STAR to take decision like they are not going to do any auditions in the Cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai.

Let us raise the issue and get the auditions to be done at these places too. Leave your comments to support the issue and spread the word to your friends.

I am not in support.
Sorry to offend anyone.

How do u know that they will definitely find a Karunya from the South?

I don't even agree that auditions should be held in the UK etc.

The only places where they should be held are : Lucknow, Indore, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Kanpur, Bhopal, J and K, Punjab, Pune and also Hyderabad, but I do not think there should be any fight about it. If the organisers want to go, they will go, if they don't its up to the participant to go.

I think this has already been discussed at length in another topic... but I definitely think that auditions should be held in all major cities of the country including Southern cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore, that has a fair cosmopolitan population! 😊

Auditions should be made to all major cities of India. If they want to call it voice of India or a national competition. Or just hold them at only onme place. Going to some places and ignore others is wrong. but if the motive is just to make money, then why would they go to South as they do have limited viewers. Money talks
