Watched Mauli Dave sing on this show. The girl gave a controlled performance and she has tons of talent! Watched a few more videos on the tube and certainly lots of kids with talent that is refreshing!!

What followed Mauli’s rendition of Maiya Maiya was shambolic! One judge couldn’t help heading to the dais and touching the girl and then literally becoming speechless! The clown Bappida then reels out strange theory that singers are made for composers!! Only Himesh had the dignity to keep his bum in his seat and make comments that gave some perspective to the competition!

Have some thing to say about Asha Bhonsle too. She was uptight, has a lot of pickle in her bum and acted like the Goddess of music! What she probably does not realise is that she is way past “use by” date and should have retired long long ago. Yes she was a great singer of yester years but India has new talent pool available to her and that needs to be tapped into. Asha is playing games and that comes out strongly on the television where she has no where to hide. I don’t believe that Asha has it in her to judge any singing competition impartially! The standards that she is judging people against must be transparent and understandable.

Judging should be left to people and the successive idol shows have already proved it! Zee unnecessarily tinkered the format and undid lot of the effort they put in unearthing talent from overseas!! Some body explain!!
