Injustice to Music in a Music Reality Show?

I am writing this post with a dissatisfaction of the happenings in the show – “Airtel Super Singer”. This is one of the Music Reality show for a talent hunt in the playback industry. This show has got a viewership worldwide and liked by most of the people.

One of the toughest, challenging and deserving contestant - Ranjani, inspite of giving fantastic and flawless performance got eliminated because of the less number of votes from the public at the end of first leg of finals. This is the reason they say when the deserving contestant got eliminated. Is it believable? God knows the answer for this! I myself voted thrice for the contestant and as far as I know most of the people I know voted for her fantastic performance. Now, you may wonder why am I getting so much concerned about it. There are a few things in life which may haunt you so much that you cannot stop talking about it. This is one among them.

There are many questions that pops up on my mind-

Are the public so insane to vote for their favorite contestants without even giving importance to the person who gave best performance?
(OR)
Is it…Inspite of voting for the deserving contestant the Vijay TV management has decided not to move her on to the next stage for the reason that she might be one of the toughest contestant for the others in the race?

The difference in number of votes cannot be digested by anyone who knows what is good music. There is nothing like good music or bad music, however, when people are ignoring the real good music in a person, am using these kind of words! If people made the mistake…Please wake up and give respect to good music. Never ignore the real talent. Everybody in this world is not blessed with a good voice and talent in music. Those who are, should never be ignored. If Vijay TV has made the mistake of eliminating her inspite of getting more number of votes, go hang yourself! You have lost a real big talent. You have insulted music in a music reality show. If gimmicks is all you wanted to do, better remember that you may lose viewership! I have already written about the gimmicks in this show in my earlier post. Favoritism is one word that should be the reason if either of them made a mistake – Vijay TV or the public.

Here is a message for the deserving and talented contestant Ranjani who got eliminated in the race –

All that I can say is…You are no doubt a great talent. May music stay with you ever! Never ever care about all these gimmicks played by Vijay TV or the Public - whoever it is! I know you are not…still wanted to convey what I thought. Hard work will definitely be recognized, if not now, some other door will open for you and take my word that would be better than this one. No doubt Vijay TV has given you much exposure, however, they still have lost you in the race. You are what you are and you know what you are capable of! Hats off to the improvements you made in your singing by taking every feedback from the judges in a positive aspect and I must say all these inputs reflected massively in your singing. You became one among the best when you departed. You won many number of hearts when you departed from the show. Nobody else who are still in the race would win these many number of hearts around the world as you did. This is your biggest asset and you now know how many people like and respect your singing.

I must say, your professionalism, determination and confidence will take you places.

Good luck, big success and great days are in store for you dear.
