One can notice that there are many searching in the Google as to why Chinmaye is absent in Airtel super singer. Mr. & Mrs. Hema malini[!] are of course good comperes but hema's Tamil and Yugendran's dress sense many a times put you off. Is it too much to expect a Tamil compere for a show which is the biggest hunt for a Tamil singer? Also you have two malayali judges, but of course that is ok for both are extremely good and have rendered many Tamil songs too.
If the comments appearing in various forums is any indication then it is a fact now that this program is slipping, though being done professionally. The reason may be a perceived bias. In yesterday's episode, Anuradha Sriram was called as a special judge. The round was folk music and the competition was between Rohit, Ranjini and Aruna, for elimination. It seemed that atleast two of the judges were very keen in eliminating Rohit.
Anuradha is very popular and knowledgeable in folk music. And she is a guest, so it is basic courtesy of the compere and the judges to treat her well and listen and abide by her judgement. Or they should have laid done a proper plan of action before the shot. Instead they were literally ragging Anuradha Sriram and compelling her to give space and room for a grand rohit elimination. An unfettered Anu proclaimed her judgement in favor of Rohit and after that passed the ball to the three . There was an silenced tiff and later the Three agreed in unison to retain Rohit but claimed it is not as per Anuradha's observation that Taal is important but because Rohit rendered the difficult tune more perfectly.
Srinivas normally hates putting the contestants to any very stressful tests and his concern is appreciable. But is it not a fact that from now on it is necessary? All four are extremely talented and good human beings. And they all have great ego's. So it is natural that some sparks fly. However in a competition, some decorum and fair play is expected.
