Question : What should our voting be based on? Previous performances of a participant or that week's performance?
What should our voting be based on at this stage - a performers previous performances or that current week's performance which may or may not have been the best....
Excellent topic Adi! (Sorry, I did not post right away since I was on Advil for cold 😆😆 and my brain was on 6th floor while I was on the first as always..)
Voting at this stage should not be responsible for the decision of winners. Voting could substitute for 50% AT THE MOST! This will be a measure of POPULARITY based not only on music but on other factors that may be essential for participants in their future performances as other than just play back singing. They can also decide if they want to vote for the previous performance or overall presentation. (This will ensure PROFITS yet provide a fair judgement)
They should retain one JUDGE from beginning till the end of the show (not a mentor) who has voted for the participants right from the beginning - He / she can provide a measure of CONSISTENCY. After every performance, this judge should give marks out of 100 and the percentage should be AVERAGED (this will assure equality among candidates who perfomed more number of times as compared to others)
When 5 candidates remain, they should be asked to perform in 3 GENRE of their choice and they should be judged by JUDGES that are masters in music. The scores should be averaged. This will provide a good balance between VERSATALITY and EXPERTISE. 3 performances will also leave justification for one going bad and hence forgiven 😳.
The mentors should not be allowed to comment on the performance on stage at this level. It is a competetion for all of them as well. They also are subjected to the TEST and hence should be looked at as candidates themselves. If they break the rules, they should be asked to leave the stage and even the competetion if they create any drama. Their CANDIDATE can then pick his / her choice of gharana 😛.
IMO, ZEE can thus pick a candidate based on his or her musical talent- variety, consistency and expertise and popularity- A fair mix of several essential traits.
MUSIC above ALL.
