Idea Star singer Junior in Vijay TV

Post by thanjavooran »

The list is narrowed down to 7 contestants. In the classical round the judges were Bombay sisters, Aruna sairam, Rajkumar Bharathi, Sudharagunathan, Unnikrishnan and Nithyasree. 12 yrs old Gowtham from a village near Thoothukudi without any proper exposure to C M sang ' Ullaththil Nalla Ullam ' extremely well and won the laurels from all the judges and audience. Virtually everybody shed tears on listening to his soulful voice incuding the band and judges. Ofcourse a girl from California [ Pragathi ] adjudged as the best singer in the classical round.

Thanjavooran,
There is a thread started by Gobilalitha in General Discusions about this youngster's soulful singing. I didn't realize that he was from a small place like TuthukkuDi. It was indeed moving to see his parents reacting.

Nowadays Mano is partial. He considers himself as chief justice. His comment is only 'good selection of the song' and the composition is good. He never says to the kids ' You sang well ' and his comments are vague. Afterall the contestants are kids, an encouraging word will definitely boost their energy for future maximum output. Whereas all the other judges including Chitra give excellent comments appreciating the talent of the kids. This is my view. in general all the kids sing well. No doubt it is a Very difficult task to select the super singer.
